Review - Randy Gage - Accept Your Abundance

This is the 2nd book in Randy's Prosperity Series. For me this book is a real eye opener for accepting and having your own prosperity.

Most of us, including me have or have had issues with accepting prosperity into our lives. Mostly I think due to parents, schooling and social and media pressure that until we know better or different. We perceive as the truth. In this book, Randy begins to challenge these long held beliefs.

He will challenge you to think about your current 'victimhood, then begin with a simple exercise on how to change this idea. You are the star in your own movie.

The chapter on Lack Programming is well thought out and explained. You may want to read it several times. Heed his advice. If not the first time around. If you permit yourself to read it again and again. You will begin to understand what he actually says comes, I think from a stronger position that the movies, parents and anything else you let 'program' you.

The Art or as Randy calls it Virtue of Selfishness, is perhaps the hardest to grasp. It required a shift in my mind. I'd have said for ages I'd always say yes to others, out of a loyalty that was and for many is misplaced.

Certainly read this chapter again and again. Once you come out to the otherside. I think, no I know you're in a stronger place. Much of the writing in this chapter I recognised from the writings of Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged. Highly worth reading too. Although I'd read Randy's book first. Otherwise I think you'll miss the nuances in Rand's own writing.

Much of the book is recognising through Gage's own history your sources of lack programming. It has one of the best definitions or monetary levels for being poor. I often find myself quoting it. I'm working my way towards that level of monetary financial freedom. Happy Days

Unlike his book 37 Secrets, this I think holds its own as an individual book.

Review - Randy Gage - 101 Keys To Prosperity

This is the 1st book in Randy's Prosperity Series. It literally is 101 key ideas or thoughts on how to achieve your own huge potential and greater prosperity in your life.

By prosperity do not just read MONEY. It is 101 truths that apply to all areas that make up a truly prosperous life.

For me Randy's whole Prosperity Series is something I read at least once a year. With each new year, I'm futher along my path to the prosperity level that I want. A new point always stands out for me each time I read the series. Or maybe at that point I'm ready to hear that particular message and truly make it part of my daily life and thoughts.

I think it is worth reading as part of the whole series, but not just on its own. Although idea No.3 will let you achieve all that you want. I think most people will want more instruction on how to imbibe these rules and ideas so that they become part of their being and not just an ethereal idea or concept.

This is not just directed at Randy, yet it is very common with many books. The authours present great ideas and concepts, yet little in the way of how to make the concepts and ideas part of your everyday way of being.

Once you have read the other books in Randy's prosperity series, these salient points are very easy to understand and begin to take on. Yet, I'm not certain that this book stands on its own. It could have done with some examples. i.e. when you're told don't affirm lack. I know most people don't understand, grasp or 'do' this principle.

How do I know?

They don't have everything they want in there life. Plain and Simple.

My advice, get the whole Prosperity Series and make it part of your yearly reading. Not just this single book.

Review - Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged

I found out about this book via Randy Gage and his various blogs and products. He highly recommends this book. I've learnt if I hear something enough times it must be good. Eventually I'll go and get myself a copy. Since I'm traveling at the moment it was easiest for me to grab the audio version and place it on my mp3 player.

Bare in mind I know where Randy is coming from when he recommends things. It is to truly help you shift your mindset. I must be honest my mind set is and has shifted because of following Randy's advice.

The book itself is split into several parts. Although a single story runs throughout. I sat and heard the book in just over a week. I must be honest I was horrified. Not at the prose or plot.

Rand isn't subtle in her thinking. Yet, most people I think will or have missed many of the messages and ideas that are woven within this story. Her reasons and explanations are well laid out and argued.

I was horrified since I recognised so much of the story and about how men who strive for greatness are pegged back or halted by the masses because the masses think it is not right or just that such men and women should amass such fortunes.

There is great battle between the central characters and the thieves (politicians and less courageous men).

I heard without doubt one of the best explanations concerning 'the love of money' maxim. How wrong most of you are.. The book alone is worth just the 15 minute monologue. Again it demonstrates the power of a metaphor. If you have an idea, don't just explain it dryly. Use a story or stories for people best to understand your ideas and points of view.

You and your world will be shaken by reading this book, no matter where you are in life.

Review - Essentials Skills - Money Magnet DVD and Workbook

I watched this earlier this week. I've got to say I wasn't all that impressed. The quality of the presentation seemed pretty poor and the sound quality was quite hit and miss, even with a microphone being past around the participants. The recording is taken from a seminar presentation. Whether they realised it or not there seemed to me almost a battle going on between Tom Vizzini and Kimberly McFarland, who would actually be the presenter and give all the detail.

The DVD is about Kim's wealth attraction/creation strategy. i.e. how does she attract things easily and effortlessly into her life. It is not very often a NLP trainer, Tom, sees another trainer with a strategy and models them directly. It should be noted that the strategy can be used for more than just attracting money. Yet at this present time, money is in the minds of many people.

You will have to decide if Kim has or portrays the amount of money, wealth and abundance that you want in your life. I'm still a fan of Randy Gage's definition. Anything less than $10 million and you are poor.

I watched the DVD, made my own notes as I went along and then went over the accompanying work book. Normally I like to write up my review as soon as possible after reading or watching whatever it is I have to hand. If I notice synchronicity, events or items later on I h add them to the review.

The interesting part for me was that for whatever reason. I think it may have been dinner! I didn't write up my post. I waited days before I wrote my post. Despite the quality of the recording and my other misgivings. I've notice a key part of the strategy appearing in my own life. The step is think about something that you want to attract into your life. Then at the end of the strategy, just think for saying to yourself. Of course, it will happen, why shouldn't it.? Just knowing that will happens, as sure as night follows day, or the example they use is, as holding a pen in your hand and letting go of it. You know that the pen will fall to the ground. That knowing of certainty, is what you went when you begin to think about attracting something into your life.

I want this in my life...of course it will happen. As sure as night follows day!

So far, they are the only couple or person that I know of who have included this in their attraction strategy, that I have without realising it, incorporated into my attraction strategy. Well Done! If you fancy expanding your attraction strategy, it may well be worth checking out, here.

The other downside, although not connected to the DVD is that I've emailed them twice via their support system and still had no reply. If your website is your shop window, answer email! The best way to keep and attract new customers is to be in constant contact with them.

Review - Lloyd Glauberman - Money, Wealth and Prosperity

All,

I've started to reviews things I've listened and worked through in the past. Both those that I've enjoyed and those I've not enjoyed. Some items I think have helped me, some I've listened to and thought well that was nice, but it just didn't do anything for me.

Today, I'm reviewing Lloyd Glauberman's Money, Wealth and Prosperity program.



I can't remember how I ended up finding out about Lloyd or his work. I've been listening to the following for just under a month. Following the advice given and reading posts on the HPPforum, I've listened to the recording certainly the first 2 or 3 weeks every day. Normally first thing in the morning. I've also listened to it during my lunch hour or on the way home from the city on the train. I've also listened to it before I fall asleep. I'm not sure when is the best time to listen to this or other recordings. It is just like any recording, listen to it often to begin with and then regularly, until you get what you want.

This recording is 6 tracks in lenght. Each recording is about 25 minutes in lenght. It uses his HPP technology.

Boiled down, that is double induction, deep relaxation, embedded messages all woven witinh a story that is spread out of each of the tracks. Yet each track is a complete story within its self.

If you listen to many hypnosis recordings double inductions aren't anything new. I do like the way no matter which voice you listen to, I've been able to detect a slight pause, before a positive message, embedded command is delivered. I also know I've not heard them all yet.

I'd say I'm pretty ofay with many and most hypnosis inductions. Many people still rely on the classic Elman induction. (Eyes open and shut several times, whilst focusing on a point).Whilst this is effective. It is great to get something different.

Lloyd is a master at story telling. I remeber listening to the 1st track. I don't know how it happened yet I was totally relaxed and my eyes where shut firm. Just like the classic Elman induction. I even tested opening my eyes whilst listening. They were shut tight. For those that don't know, this is perfectly normal when being in trance. It is something I really enjoy. It is always a good sign for me. It means I'm at an excellent level of trance.

Each track is its own little masterpiece of hypnosis and story telling. I know Lloyd comes from a NLP and Ericksonian background. As do I. For me, this may be the closest I get to experience an Erickson induction and metaphor at its best.

The beauty of these recording is that they are fictional in nature. You don't have to spend time going over some worksheet. You really do just have to sit back, relax and listen.

So to the big question does it work?

Do you attract more money, wealth and prosperity into your life? Well, it is 2009. I hated 2008 with a passion. Already I'm loving 2009. I've fired my old accountant, sorted out my business banking. Made an extra £300 without doing anything and the month is only 20 days old or so.

This is one of those recordings I think, yes, listen to it as recommended, then you can listen to it as you wish. I think for the best results, listen to it at least once a month after that of not more. You'll naturally know what is best for you. Choose a track that you are drawn to or liked the first time around. That is how I've done it. I'm already enjoying the success in 2009, I think, yes in part thanks to listening to this recording. Since 2009 I plan to be amazing for myself and my business. I can't wait to see the end results.


Lloyd has many other recordings, availabe here. I can't wait to check some of the others out. The biggest trouble is which one: Personal Ecology: The Complete Self-Esteem Program, Rekindling the Flame, Soul Mates: Improve Your Life Together? Let me know if you prefer one, and I'll grab it.

Review - Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness (Book)

After watching the DVD several times I thought is was time to go and get the book version that had inspired/pushed me to purchase the DVD version just before Christmas.

The book's subtitle Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness was somewhat missed by me each and every time I looked at the cover. I wanted to attracted the money! Since reading it I've found an unexpected £300. As a result of the book, I don't know, if it just because of the book. Yet, hello £300.

Money in and of itself is only one part of the book. Other parts include applying the Law of Attraction in general terms, shifting your mind set, health and career. Successful living in all these and other areas of your life really contribute towards real wealth. There is also one section that is a transcript of one of their workshops. The workshop recording is also included on a CD that is included with the book.

Again, like the DVD and their other books, it is more of a Q and A session between Abraham and Jerry. I'm getting more and more use to this, yet it can be quite tiring and turgid in some parts. Sometimes I found myself pondering over a point or idea to only have it later explained in the next page or two. That was pretty neat.

Again, there is much repetition about the idea of Say It As You Want It and on generating positive feelings about what you want it. I've now learnt and am applying that if I'm not feeling on top,excited and happy form. I'm not in alignment with what I or the Universe has intended for me. There are some excellent one liners, that I've taken on bored and they are becoming more and more a part of my daily life, which is constantly improving.

It takes some getting use to believing or taking on the ideas presented within the book. i.e.

That if you have a desire for something, it means you also have the ability to achieve it

or

money is as easily available to you as breathing in air.

The taking on beliefs and how could be further explained although I've noticed sometimes, I've just needed to decide THIS IS MY NEW BELIEF. Other times I've had to go through a whole belief change process, of which I know many.

Sometimes reading a book like this you can get all the hype and become really positive, believe it all. Then, bang, somebody, somewhere hits you for six. This happened to me on several occasions. I don't always immediately see the positive in the situation. Yet the advantage of hiding and reading the book for me was that within a page or two I was again feeling better and once more believing I can change my beliefs around money, wealth and abundance. I was again feeling happier about my money and the money coming towards me. Therefore I must be on the right track to my riches.

Although the book can be somewhat dry at times. The real value is in the constant repeitition of the key messages, thoughts and ides. If you want an easier introduction, watch the DVD first.

As they say : say it like you want it, is actually a great help in accomplishing everything that you want. At first it might sound silly that just talking about what you want and not what is happening in your reality will manifest the riches that you want.

Yet, after a while, the way I want certainly became my natural story and I just started smiling and feeling really good, as I talked about what I wanted. Therefore it has become my NEW STORY and is on its way to me. That I have little or no doubt.

Review - Abraham Hick - Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness (DVD)

Well this all started because for several weeks leading up to Christmas I kept seeing the book version of this in the same shop that I often go into. Several times I would look at it, pick it up, turn it over, mull over the idea of making a purchase and then put it down again, and walk out the shop.

Well, curiosity, synchronicity or the fear of somebody else buying it got the better of me. I got the DVD version. I know, I know - see the book, buy the DVD. It makes perfect sense?

I knew about Jerry and Ester from watching The Secret. I'm pretty sure this has exploded their fan base. I tried to read their book, The Law of Attraction shortly after seeing them in The Secret. I just couldn't get into it. For me, it was too disjointed, It all seemed like one huge transcript of conversations. I just couldn't follow it. In the end I gave up.

Well the DVD version is talks by Esther or "Abraham" who talks through Esther. Abraham is something, being, entity from the Universe. Whether you believe in that or not go with it. These are taken from talks they give around the US. The words and monologues that Esther relays are often quite profound and if you are open to them make a lot of sense. Other times she is answering questions from people who are attending their seminars.

The whole DVD can be summed up as follows : Tell it the way you want it, not the way, it is and keep saying it until you achieve what you want!

Abraham's take on the news and the media is excellent, very true. If you don't think so. He says, the news you see and here,is just a minute blip on the 'news' radar for that moment in time. Try telling somebody that who watches the news on the television. See how strongly they argue against it. Or at least that was my experience. Their final thought is excellent and very true. I'll let you discover it for yourself. All I'll say is you will catch yourself. I did and do.

There is much repetition of ideas and thoughts, throughout the video. On the first viewing, I thought come on! Subsequent viewings I had the following thought well yes, of course there needs to be this repetition. You may already know much of these ideas and Abraham would say that you do. Yet, you're not living them or you don't believe them. You don't truly believe you can have, do and be anything you want, otherwise you would! Simple as that. You will I have no doubt need to watch this multiple times. Why, because you've had a life time of negative programming to the contrary.

If you have found yourself struggling to read the hard copy. Get the DVD, it is a great way to begin to understand what Abraham and Hicks are all about.

Review - Joe Vitale - The Clearing Audio

All,

This idea is very simple.

Listen to several tracks and by listening to the tracks and absorbing the spoken and 'subliminal messages' you naturally, quickly and easily let go, clear or release your stuff!

Happy Days.

I don't know if because of listening I let go of lots of stuff. I'm doing lots of things to let go and clear my own things and negative thoughts and emotions at the moment. I can't say because of listening to just these recordings X happened.

I can say however that as recommended you need to listen to the words and messages for at least a month. I think because other things i.e. negative emotions, limiting decisions and words come up as you listen to the tracks and just go about your daily life.

The recordings are about 20 minutes in length. So you can easily listen to them each day. I would often listen to The Clearing Audio as I walked my dog. Or traveled to and from my old office. I now just play them as background noise. They can be repeating for hours at a time. I've dumped the television!

I feel the tracks have been effective when I'm reading a book and I begin questioning the material and the author's motives or intent.

The real magic happens when you just have The Clearing Audio on in the background and the tracks become part of your everyday listening. You forget that they are playing. The music is pleasing to the ear and quite catchy.

There is one track that is just the music. I don't bother with this track much. I'd much rather release and attract what I want into my life. There is a track that has subliminal messages on it. The words of the messages are the same as the audible word track. Also if you listen carefully, you can often hear the end of words i.e. Ssss. So the subliminals are audible...just. There goes your fear of subliminal messages!

I often played the tracks as I slept at night. Does it work? I don't know, yet in one of my dreams recently I caught myself saying, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank You and I love you. These phrases are repeated often on the tracks

I've heard, watched and read much of the material by Joe in the last 6 months. Changes are happening, thanks to listening to many of his recordings. Quite often I'll be listening to my own internal self talk and I'll be repeating. I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank You and I love you. These are words and phrases on this recording. I didn't really grasp the simplicity of the phrases, yet. As my own internal self talk. It certainly beats the berating I use to give my self.

The real aha moment came for me when I swapped over and started listening to The Advanced Clearing Audio. All I'll say is, The Advanced Clearing Audio brings up stuff about your identity. i.e. Your - I am X statements. i.e. I am a husband, I am successfully, I am a coach. - No matter what you think you are, you are more than that!

I would say certainly this is a worthy addition to your success library. I don't know if you'll see results immediately (that is my belief). Yet, have it playing in the background when just doing stuff. The real magic happens I think. You forget it is there, yet you know it is still playing. Without realising you absorb the words and messages.

I'll write up more about The Advanced Clearing Audio in one month. I've recently seen Joe has released The Clearing For Money Audio too. Can't wait to get a copy of that one too!

How To Make 2009 Extra-Ordinary

All,


I've been reading and re-reading the following TUT message that I received a while back.

2009, will not be just another year.

It's the absolute richest I've ever imagined, with the most possibilities I've ever created, for the coolest people I've ever known, to do the greatest things that have ever been done.

Don't feel any pressure.

Let's do this,
The Universe

Just imagine that!! There is something about this that I can't quite put my finger on yet. All I know is that I like it! Rock on 2009.

New Year Resolutions - Don't Give Something Up, Do Something Extra

All,

I've not started writing out my list of goals and things I want to achieve for 2009. In the past I've been a great New Year goal writer. Yet this year no. I already know what I want out of this year, both large and small.

I'm already basking in having already received my greatest gift for 2009. The end of 2008!

For me, there was much upheaval and quite frankly misery in 2008. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Thankfully it is.

Already in 2009, things have happened for me, which make 2008 seem like a distant memory. I'll detail these in future posts, since they will take some explaining.

For many New Year, means resolutions. For most it actually means loosing or giving something up. Well I say don't! Most of you will not stick to them anyway. You'll be miserable and back on the wagon in no time.

I say, don't give something up, DO SOMETHING EXTRA.

When I was growing up. I was told at lent, don't give up something, do something extra.

That is what I'm doing at the moment. Firstly I think you write out New Year's resolutions because you want something, you have an end result in mind.

A.Make the end result as positive as possible.

Maybe you want to loose weight..WHY? What is a positive reason for loosing weight?

1. Get fitter
2. Fit into those jeans or wedding dress
3. Run with children at the local park
4. Live until you're 90
   

For whatever the reason, make it as positive as possible.

How do you know if it is positive or not?

When you think about it, you will feel good. The end result will feel good to you. Don't worry about the how you'll achieve it. Just ponder about the end result.

B. Make Some Space For Your End Result

You can only achieve your end result, when you have space for it in your life.

As you look around you now, could your end result exist right now?

Think over your end result. As you do so, where could you make space for it in your life?

If you lost weight would you not need new clothes? Do you have space in your closet or wardrobe for more clothes? If not, make some. Give the clothes away. What about your fridge, do you have space for other types of foods?

C. Extra

Now towards you goal do something extra. It doesn't have to be directly related to your goal. i.e. Loose weight = join a gym.

One of my things this year is to meet somebody new every month, go somewhere new every month and to do something new every month.

This month I've already been to Kew Gardens, talked to a new woman at the post office and created more space than every before as I suggest in B. above

D. Small Simple

With anything you want to do, start small and simple. Just like in a relationship, we can all do the grand gestures. They are easy. It is the everyday simpler things that matter : a smile, a look and cheer, they make the difference.

So if you're wanting to improve your weight, why not walk for just 5 minutes extra outside on a Monday. If you don't think you have time...how long to do spend going to the bathroom?

What is the Future For EFT and Emotional Freedom Techniques ?

All,

I posted this on my eft blog - www.eftmagic.com Yet I think as many people as possible should read this :

Since Gary Craig announced his retirement on emofree.com. I’ve been wondering what is the future for Emotional Freedom Techniques and the EFT community at large?

I am pretty new to EFT and its community. Yet, the out pouring of help and friendliness has been astounding. Especially on twitter. I’m loving my journey and so are others that I’ve already introduced and taught the Emotional Freedom Techniques to. However, I already fear for its future. I already see the fragmentation of a great community and its learning resources. I’m from an NLP and hypnosis background. This looks very familiar.

Leaders

NLP was the child of Richard Bandler and John Grinder. These two for years had a spat. NLP and its community was divided. There were questions over the future of NLP, what should or should not be taught and how it should be taught. It even came down to who actually created NLP. Who will lead the EFT community now? There are some recognised big players that I think we all know. There are also many, many smaller players. Everybody has something important to add to the EFT community and EFT’s skill and technique development.

Although EFT had its beginnings from other techniques and technologies. Gary codified the essence into something simple and easy that we have all been able to easily learn and apply to our lives and those of others. He developed and galvanised the EFT community into what it is today. Who wants to take that mantle now?…ME for one! I certainly want to play my part. Watch this space for more info.

Associations and Trainings

The NLP and hypnosis community is full of schools, academies, experts and ‘governing bodies’ who hand out qualifications as if they are going out of fashion. If you’re any good, people send you their qualifications in the post. There are ‘universities’ of hypnosis. Yet, they are not real universities. It seems very easy, certainly in the UK and the US to set yourself up as a school, academy, institute or training body. Each town or state has its own school of hypnosis it seems. Is this the route that we want EFT to go?

If you are in private practice,you must have public liability insurance. Yet, no government is taking a leading role in how EFT, hypnosis et al, should be taught or governed. We have to become our own police. I certainly don’t want creativity and EFT’s future development skill and development to be stifled.

What makes one person able to teach over another? What makes one person an expert? For me, it is not pieces of paper. It is a willingness to do and a confidence. That is far more important that a certificate. Yet, this is one to ask you clients – why did you choose me over another EFT practioner?

Will all future school and bodies gather together to come up with a recognised curriculum and maybe a certificate? Yet, what real value will it hold? Or will everybody go hell or leather and we’ll see who survives? I’m belittling any qualifications that you may have, yet this seems all very “schoolish”. Go to school, get a qualification, get a good paying job. I just don’t think that doctrine applies much any more. Yet, many of us, still spout it as law.

Skills and Techniques

There are the basics of EFT which I believe we all know. They will remain so. Not everybody has seen Gary’s DVDs. Yes, they are a great training aid. I hope that they stay around, so that we can enjoy them into the future. I’m sure others, myself included will produce our own training DVDs and other material. For me there are so many things missing or, I’ve yet to find others whom talk, produce or blog about what I think could and can be added to EFT to advance it.

Where to hang out now?

As you will notice, this blog is very,very new. Less than a week old. It is not the finished article by a long shot. Yet I just had to get this out. Content and discussion is far more important that design.

I want to know your opinion. There is the newly created forums, found here. It is a slow start,but we will wait and sees if it is successful. I was already thinking to add my own forum section on this blog before I started it. Yet, I’ll hold onto that idea for the time being. It is easier enough to add it if you the reader wants it.

The Future of EFT

One thing that seems to not have happened is, nobody is asking what do you want the future of EFT and its community to be like? We are at a cross roads for EFT and its community. We all, no matter how big or how small, whatever your level of involvement with EFT have something very important to contribute to EFT and its future.

For me there are several things I’d like to see coming to the community in the future.

A World EFT day – If you are in the community and have had personal success. EFT is all you think about. Yet, nobody else knows about it, or actually really cares. EFT is just a tool to solve a presenting issue. Clients and you don’t care as long as your problem or issue is resolved. It’s time we raised or continued to raise its profile to the general public. A date needs to be selected so that it EFT can be easily applied to things going on year on year.

A live EFT World Summit or Conference – Yes, there was the recent virtual EFT World Summit. I do believe we could have a ‘live’ event. With today’s technology it would be very easy to make the live version, go virtual so those that could not travel, could still participate.

Over to you, please comment below.

What do you think is the future of EFT?

How do you want EFT and its community to evolve from here?

What is missing?

Happy Travels, oh and welcome to eftmagic.com!
