KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

This month's speaker is Alan Anderson. His topic is "Law of Attraction Meets NLP
& Hypnosis Techniques."

Alan says:
In this brief session I will briefly go over the basics of the law of attraction
as laid out by Wallace D. Wattle in his 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich I
will talk about my techniques for enhancing the possible result of visualization
therein mentioned by using NLP; specifically Richard Bandler's the Structure of
Certainty technique and by enlisting all of the senses to create the most vivid
imagining possible. I will also discuss in sort the principles laid out by Ken
Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles in their book Raving Fans.

I will do a small demonstration or two to illustrate the true identity of money,
how we think about it, and how we feel about it. I intend to demonstrate the
various rates professionals are charging their customers in an effort to break
down misconception and personal worth issues. The information presented will be
drawn from my Seminar Manifest Riches Now It will be a fast paced presentation.

FEATURED ARTICLE:

Sounds Good - Adjust Your Inner Soundtrack to Increase Motivation & Release
Negative Emotions

Discover the freedom to change your emotional states at will, through changing
your inner soundtrack. Combat negative self talk and negative emotions, or
increase motivation with the power of your own mind! Sounds good to me!

The topic is sound...music, speech, how the soundtrack of our lives influences
our emotional states. And how WE can enhance this and alter this influence for
our own well-being. We can can do all sorts of things, for example release
negative emotions, create motivation, move us forward in our desires. By
"tinkering" with sound in our minds!

Music moves us, elevates us, stirs our emotions, in the direction of any emotion
you can name. Think of a march by John Phillip Sousa, or how any stirring
anthem activates our feelings of patriotism. Think how a quiet, beautiful
orchestral piece of music calms and relaxes. Think of a horror movie
soundtrack, full of tension and suspense. Sound is a huge part of our
experience of our lives and key to our memories and emotional states. Imagine a
love movie with no soundtrack--would it have the same emotional impact? No!

By altering the sounds we play in our minds in simple ways, we can experience
life differently, more positively, and here are a few easy ideas to do so:

We've all had arguments, with a coworker, with a spouse, with a friend, and
sometimes they "eat" at us. We play them over and over in our minds, and churn
up even more negative emotions like anger and irritation. Here's something to
do: as you think about that argument, create a new soundtrack. Let the voices
fade and cue in the circus music. Clown music. Carnival music. Do do
doodle-ooodle ut do do-dooo... Do do doodle-ooodle ut do do-dooo...Play that
for awhile as the argument runs in your mind, and let it transform your
experience of the argument. Done? Great! Now, think about it. That arguments
seems kind of silly, doesn't it? Ridiculous. Less power. Less force to
disturb. And that's a GOOD thing.

Here's another use for improving your life with sound. You want to get to the
gym, you know you need to exercise. You want to exercise, but somehow...you
just aren't doing it. Here's what gets me going, and pumps up my motivation.
The Rocky Theme. You know the one, where he's running up the steps in
Philadelphia: "getting strong now, gonna fly now..." Play that music in your
mind when you want a lift of success and motivation. The resultant emotion will
propel you out the door and to the gym. Or insert any other inspirational music
which speaks to you. Movies are a great source to reference, because we all
know them. You can pump up your confidence as well with music such as Indiana
Jones, Star Wars, Superman.

Here's another wonderful use of this: play with sound to combat what we call
"negative self talk." That's the little critical voice in your mind always
telling you what you can't accomplish, and spraying you with curses: "You're
lazy!," "You're stupid!," "You'll never get it done!" and so on. Imagine that
voice to be a different voice, a silly voice, a cartoon voice. Bugs Bunny,
Mickey Mouse, Elmer Fudd, something ridiculous. Hear the same words in that
new, ridiculous, cartoon voice. Maybe it's a squeaky, high pitched cartoon
voice. "You're lazy!" The impact on you is different, isn't it? Now it's
absurd, and not to be taken seriously. The voice is a joke!

Here's what else you can do. Imagine that you're at the controls of an old time
radio with dials. Yes, kids, radios used to have dials. As you play those
silly, cartoon voices telling you negative things about yourself and the world,
just turn down the volume. Softer, softer, turn it down, turn it down, turn it
down, until the voice is barely audible, then just a whisper on the wind, and
then...gone. It's nice to shut that critical voice up, isn't it?

The secret here, we can choose how we feel. Play with these simple techniques
above involving sound to feel good now!
