Review - The Quantum Cookbook

The Quantum Cookbook, is another manifestation, law of attraction course. I am pretty certain for you, like me, this is not the 1st time you will have read or head something like about this topic area. It does seem all the rage.

Why do you continue to read things like this? I think more than likely, it is because you still do not have what you want. Yet, a part of you still believes you can have what you want.

The Quantum Cookbook method is a several step process. Most of the steps you will have heard before. That aside, I actually rather liked it. It gives explanations about quantum physics and manifestation, that I think everybody will understand.

The whole process itself is very, step by step and simple to follow. You can read the main Quantum Cookbook, or hear the book in an audio format. If you have been following me on twitter, you'll have seen me post several quotes and ideas recently. These were all from the Quantum Cookbook.

In the Quantum Cookbook, the author clearly states, that despite all your wants, goals and dreams. All these can fall into 1 of 10 areas. I went over my usual want list. By, Joe he was right. This makes fulfilling them much easier. I have fewer things to remember.

Whilst going over the material, I was yet again reminded...I keep moaning about a certain situation in my life. Only for the situation and circumstances to still be here. I want why? You get what you focus on! Sometimes I feel like I'm running into a brick wall - yes, not the best metaphor.

I think you are given all the information you need to begin manifesting consciously and successfully. There are many courses like this, that cost so much more and leave you with more questions than answers.

It also details reasons as to why, things might not be going as expected. This I thought had some excellent pointers. The whole course is excellently put together and can be quickly put into practice.

There are some interviews with well respected quantum physic authors and manifestation experts. These are a real bonus.

The course consists of a book, which is a good read and is full of useful ideas and help. It contains many useful examples to help you get the most from the method. Manifestation pocket sized cards, so that you can carry your intention with you wherever you go.

There is a condensed version of the book in audio format. One CD is a complete walk through of the method.

Oh and a big plus, free international shipping! Now, that doesn't happen often.

Review - EFT World Summit 2009

The past week or so I've been listening to the recorded teleseminars that made up the recent EFT World Summit 2009, that was organised by Nicolas Ortner et al.

The recordings together made up almost 19 hours of EFT and tapping. Whilst there has been some controversy of its coming to market, found here. I'll leave that to those who want to get caught up in the politics and future use of the subject that is EFT.

There is naturally an introduction to EFT. These can be found all over the Internet. Even if you use EFT regularly. It can only help to go over the basics again.

Many of the faces and voices are well established to those that spend time in the EFT community. There were a few that, I had never heard of before. So this was good for me. Each session was about how to use or how EFT is used in various contexts. i.e. work stress, relationships, determining your life values.

I've heard of the choices method before by Dr. Pat Carrington. Yet, have never really looked into it, discovered or used it any further in my own tappings. I listened to her session on her choices method and thought, well that was nice and thought nothing more of it. Yet, nearly everybody else used and referenced this choices method in their own tapping sequences and procedures quiet heavily.

Without really much conscious thought the choices method has become part of my own tapping. For me the choices method is a half way house or softener between two points.

i.e I can not have X I choose to have X I want X

It has proved invaluable very recently.

I don't think this really is a set of recordings for out of the box beginners. Check out Gary Craig's excellent training CDs. or listen to Carol and Rick's EFTTalk for good intros to the subject. If you are comfortable with the basics of EFT, then this is a pretty good way to expand your repertoire and ideas of what EFT is and how it can be used.

Two people I'd not come across before were Lindsay Kenny and Steve Wells . There application for using EFT: The Ultimate Truth Statement and Using EFT to Determine Your Life Values were excellent and worthy of more than one listen. I will be listening to their sessions again and working my way through all their exercises and information. I'll be checking out their own products too, since the presentations are two areas that I spend my own time thinking over and working through.

As ever I loved listening to Brad Yates, Carol Look, Rick Wilkes . Rick's hour was especially powerful for me, as I had been tapping around an issue/feeling and trying to get rid of it. Carol calls these aspects. i.e you have a problem. Imagine, your problem as a pie. Cut the pie into pieces. Each piece together makes up your whole issue. I'd been tapping on a feeling for two days. Rick gave the exact word to what my feeling was. As soon as I tapped on the exact word, that was my feeling. I got the rush of energy release, that means, yet
yep it's gone! I love those!

The enjoyment of listen can not be applied to all sessions. EFT is all based on emotion and energy. In life there are energy gives and energy suckers. Some of the presentations and speakers were for me, dry, monotone and as I listened I felt the energy being sucked out of me.

I thought I'd give all the speakers the benefit of the doubt, yet, phew...some were really heavy for me to listen to. There techniques and ideas may have been great, yet the presentations just made me want to finish the listening as quickly as possible.

The final recording is setting you up, to do 40 days of continuous tapping. For me this, daily tapping is something I have naturally done. I can often be seen tapping on the train, in a plane, in the car, walking the dog. In fact, I tap everywhere. Since I've had some powerful releases of emotion when I first started 'doing' EFT. I just decided to do it all the time. I did not know there some something official for it, the personal peace procedure.

This deep introspective look inside of yourself, discovering your ultimate truth statements and cleaning up your values, can only become one very powerful clearing tool and release of negative emotion, energy and feelings from your life.

Off-Topic - How To Colour/Color Code All Day Events in Outlook 2007

All,

I have mulitple emails clients and calendars. I recently upgraded my version of MS Office to MS Office 2007. I gave up using Outlook as an email client a long time ago. Yes, I have web based email clients, yet I still perfer using a destop client.

I use web based Gmail because of its excellent calendar. I use many applications that publish details via ical, i.e. these items appear on your calendar. In most of the offices I deal with, I spend time on Lotus Notes.

One simple preference I like in Notes is the ability to colour code All Day Events. It is a simple tick box.

I've just fired up my new version of Outlook, not so far for the email, yet I wanted to be able to have a desktop calendar to hand.

Outlook has easily enough allowed me to add all my web based calendars. Yet, I like my All Day Events to stand out when looking at my calender

Outlook seemed to make this very traumatic. So, I thought I'd post a solution in case anybody else wants to do a similar thing Yes, you can easily assign categories to calender entries. Yet, it seems to be per calendar entries at the time of creation.

All I wanted was: if calendar entry is an All Day Event - colour Red.

How To Do It?

Open up Outlook and navigate to your calendar.

Then select the Edit Menu>Automatic Formatting















Now Click the Add button


















Select a Name for the Rule - All Day Event
Select a colour/color - Red

Then select the Condition button


Select the Advanced Tab















The Filter button>Frequently Used Fields>All Day Event

Change the Value Field to Yes






Then select the Add To List Button>OK>OK

Then go back to your calendar. Now your All Day Events are in Red.



Even better, this appears to also colour code the web calendar All Day Events too.
