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!

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?

EFT - Stuck No More

All,

In my last post I wrote about clearing your stuff. Letting go of the can'ts, should nots, would nots, musts and needs.

I'm a practitioner of Hypnosis, NLP and Time-Line. I've had great success in the past with these techniques. Yet for the past few months I've been stuck, certainly with Time-Line and letting go of my own stuff. Everything happens for a positive reason. I was eventually shown the way to the technique called EFT.

I heard about EFT during a recent hypnosis training and I thought no more of it. Then, a month or so again. I was shown EFT again. I then decided to give it a go. Wow is all I can say. The technique has so far just blown me away. I've been using it on myself for a variety of issues, limiting decisions and negative emotions nearly daily for the past month. I've found e-books, teleseminars. I've listened to and tapped alone with and to everything.

What is EFT ?

EFT is basically tapping with your fingers on certain meridian points around your body, whilst saying phrases out loud to yourself. This tapping clears the energy blocks that you have within your body. These energy blocks are you negative emotions, limiting decisions etc i.e. anger, fear, sadness, guilt, impatience and frustration. By releasing them, you let go of much that you have been holding on to. This then allows you to focus on what you want, not on what you don't want i.e. feeling angry and unhappy. That is it in a nut shell. Don't be deceived by its simplicity!

For more info go here : http://www.emofree.com/

Two practitioners that I highly recommend and are really shaking things up for me are :

Carol Look . Her Abundance Book has been brilliant for me, found here .

and

Brad Yates His Money Beyond Belief Series has been really powerful stuff for me. Even when I got stuck on the eft process on what they call the set-up phrase. I emailed him and he replied. Always good in my book!

I like EFT because I can do it anywhere and at any time. Trust me I have. I'm often found walking out and about tapping myself. (What came up for you as I said that - what did you say to yourself? Your issue not mine...happy days!) A round of EFT can take less than a minutes, quicker than most inductions and other techniques that I know of - brilliant. We all have a minute. Oh yes you do - how many times do you go to the toilet or have a coffee/tea break in a day.

Does it work ?

You bet. The beauty of EFT is that even if you don't think it is working, just tap along anyway. I wanted to attract a piano. When I was younger I had a great opportunity to play and learn. I never did. Since 'growing up', I learnt the piano is such a great social instrument, an ice breaker. Even when I've been travelling, hotels and hostels often have one. I had been tapping away, not even thinking about a piano, yet I'd written it down as one of my goals and I had a picture of it on my vision board that I see every day out of the corner of my eye. Well I've got one and not just a piano. I've manifested a BABY GRAND!!! The best thing - it has only cost me delivery, moving it from one house to another. If you let go of the how something will happen or show up, things happen much faster!

Technorati : Beliefs, EFT, Goals

Do You Have Enough Room For More Money?

Many of us or at least I, say that one of our goals is to have more money. Yet, I was brought back to thinking if I already had it what would I be doing, thinking and feeling? Are my current actions in alignment with my belief of creating and having more money? I've had some really good things happy to me recently about creating more money and changing my mindset The most recent being getting a free parking ticket because I didn't have the right change for the parking machine and 2nd being given free money for doing nothing.

Free Space

Then I looked into my wallet to find so much junk paper and rubbish. I tend to keep receipts until I have entered them into my 'where does my money go spreadsheet'. I normally then shred the paper. It is amazing how quickly you amass new paper. Then it hit me again, If I believe I've got all this extra money in my life, which I do. I don't have space for it in my wallet. A quick clear out...Now I do.

The same principle can be applied to any goal. Do you have space for it? Are your actions and things you are doing and saying you have more than enough?

Example : New Clothes for wardrobe.

Does your current wardrobe have space for new clothes?

Recommended Actions

Throw some out! Give the clothes away. Get rid of anything you have not worn in the last year.

Then you'll soon have room and soon you'll buy or be given some new clothes because you have space and clothes tend to be important unless you want to be arrested.

Example : New partner in your life

Recommended Actions

Do you have space for somebody else where you currently live? Sleep on just one side of the bed. If you have a car, can your partner park theres next to yours. Can you cook a meal for two?

If you want a goal and don't know what you could do as a next action or how to create some space. Drop me a line. I'm sure I can figure something out. Every now and then it helps to get a new pair of eyes to look at something. A pair without all the tided in emotion.

I'll not be around much of the next 10 days or so as I'm off to the Oktoberfest in Munich , Germany and to catch up with some great friends.

4HWW - Batching, Faxing and Asking For Advice

In learning the 4HWW process I'm applying as many of the principles that I can apart from outsourcing at the moment to my current work situation.

I've already batched my personal email. I am attempting to cut down on my frivolous web surfing. I've begun to take note of what I do, daily, weekly and monthly. To note I use pen/paper/notepad. I also have running a utility called TimeSnapper. I'm running this to see how much time I spend in applications etc. I'm wanting to batch more.

For as long as I can remember I've said, PCs are there to help. Automate, automate, automate. I'm not a programmer! Nevertheless I'm attempting to automate as much as possible. Yes, I know I could outsource it all. Yet, I'm working on the principle of learning what each task I do entails and how. If anybody knows of a good way i.e. diagraming quickly all the steps to complete a task, please let me know.

We have a help desk call logging system here at work. I'm sure it could be be automated or streamlined even more. I just can't picture the whole process and how to note it all down. After all, I want to go to my boss... I propose I suggest. I've asked my developers to add things to aid my reporting. What would take me maybe a few hours when I did it the first time, now take me 15 minutes if that. In addition, I've documented it so somebody else could do it. I think this is crucial. What if I'm not here etc? It is all so good preparation for a good on-line FAQ.

I'm creating templates for email subjects/topics that I seem to often send out. I'm looking through old calls to see if there are some common commonalities to them. For example do people ask for the same advice. Can many problems be resolved in a 1,2,3 step process. Can I produce an internal FAQ?

Asking For Help

Some of my clients are very successful 1-2 man bands who travel all over the world. In fact they seem to spend more time flying in the air than time on the ground. They haven't outsourced much if at all. When I've been on the phone to them. I've been asking who do they use for X, Y, Z. Any company recommendations etc. They are doing what I want to do i.e. travel and work...although less of the work.. So it makes sense to ask them. One such was for a fax to email provider. Obviously you don't want fax orders, unless you get somebody else to monitor and act upon them. Yet some communication may come about due to and with a fax. Banks etc. Therefore it helps to have a fax to email provider. Maybe a mail fulfilment house will also offer such a service?

My current company doesn't want to take up such a solution Instead I implemented blat to monitor our fax folder, which I was monitoring maybe 1-3 times a day. Now blat monitors the folder and emails an email account which I just monitor once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Now if we could all just agree on a fax template and I could then remove the junk faxes too.

Semi Outsource - Niche Finding.

I thought about outsourcing finding details of magazines in areas of my interests to narrow down my niche area. There is a website. Writers Market . Yet I understand this to be US centric. I thought about my first task for outsourcing to be create an account and get marketing rates and back issues sent to me. I think I'll still do this. I'll be having a fulfilment house there as well as in Europe. I was talking to somebody and mentioning this, I need something for the UK. They said there 'press department' has such a database. Let me know what you want and I'll get them to send on the details. So I produced my 1st Outsourcing email...happy days and for free. There is a 3 week waiting list for outsourcing on many that Tim recommended in his book. Although I'm liking YouManInIndia since they do more than business outscourcing. I'm thinking birthday flowers to Japan?

4HWW - Emailing USB Helps On The Run

As part of the 4HWW elimination strategy. It is recommended that you check your email twice a day. As soon as I began reading about this on the web. I started doing it. The first thing I did was to remove my personal email accounts I had set up within my office email clients. I use both Lotus Notes and Outlook. Then I thought about what to do next. I've multiple email accounts: ISP, bought domains, various Internet web mail facilities. They all 'serve' a purpose, mostly email testing.

The Other Side

It has taken me a long time to move to the firefox web browser. I didn't see the point. MS, whether you like it or not, in some form or another provide many IT types with a direct or indirect income. I wasn't about to join the I hate MS club, just to appear cool. Here in my office, they adore firefox. I do now. If nothing else the extensions and the biggest plus it is portable ie carry it on a USB stick! Thus much smaller and lighter than a laptop. This makes it an ideal remote company owner's tool.

Have Email Will Run

I thought I'd give their email client another go too. This again I can add to my USB stick and take it with me where every I go. When travelling, I didn't find one Internet cafe, that didn't let you plug in all manner of camera, memory stick or other device. Yes, there are times when you'll want your laptop, but the USB stick is a great way forward. Check out PortableApps.com . There are many other utilities that you can add to your usb stick. Not least an SMTP service. I now don't have to worry about whose internet line I am using, I can send emails from 'my' SMTP server. Touch wood, I seem to still be able to email everybody. Nobody seems to be blocking me. Ultimate test with be Japan in Oct I guess.

Thunderbird, now collates all my personal email accounts into one. It has a built in SPAM filter, which gets better the more you train it. I've seen various solutions that Tim suggests, which I may investigate in time. At present I'm just not getting, that many emails let alone SPAM (fingers-crossed). Having said that the biggest advantage is you can unplug your usb stick from your PC. Therefore, forcing yourself to look only twice a day if that. The calendar still needs work..yet. I'm looking at other tools for a 'calendar' function. A big help has been the following site : lifehacker . They seem to have some very productive people on their site. Many small business/workers who work from home or remotely. There are great at finding tools and getting the most from firefox, thunderbird et al. to help you work remotely and productively.

But, I've Work Email Too

Well, I've set up a reminder as recommended, Are you being productive. Although sometimes I just laugh and go, not being productive at the moment. I've not set up a reminder or out of office agent to run, saying I'm not checking email twice a day. I just do it. If you don't answer you work email straight away, it seems to me people think you're in a meeting or something anyway. Oh and on the plus side, I use predominately Lotus Notes as my work email client, which just happens to be portable too!.If you're getting so many emails that you need to keep checking it all the time. You need to stop. What is really important? Or think of it this way. When you're away on holiday, the office still functions doesn't it. Ergo, most email isn't that crucial.

Other Low Information Stuff

I just ended up unplugging the television...problems solved. Therefore it is now harder to just flick it on.. Once you start travelling, you quickly forget about television and the news as much isn't appropriate for you anyway as you're a traveller. I still listen to audio books. I did when I was travelling the last time. In addition, it is a productive way to use my car journey into work. I now read fiction before I go to bed. Although if I wake up early. I'm still struggling with not turning on the laptop to randomly web surf. Getting better though.

Thankfully meetings don't happen too often and when they do, they are so dull..So here is to ending meetings. I also now only answer my own personal phone twice a day. I've changed my voice mail message. The only people to kick up a fuss...my parents. I just told them it was all about being productive at work. They seem to accept this. I'm still looking for other tasks to batch. That I don't do already.

Web Surfing News.

To curtail my random web surfing. I've found two firefox extension.WebStats . This just tells you where you're web surfing and how much time you are spending. In addition I use leechblock . This blocks websites for you, based on time of day. There are others. They just work for me. I can spend time just randomly web surfing, which is a big No, No to getting things done. These two just help me curtail it a little more.
