Recover from chronic illnesses like CFS, MCS and Fibromyalgia

3/11/2019

Have you heard of brain neuroplasticity? Well, it's an important concept in mind/body healing. I personally was poisoned by pesticides and became chemically sensitive. My brain reacted by keeping me in constant fear of any exposure that could make me as sick as my initial exposure, even when it was only a similar smell or a thought about chemicals. For those with Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia, the brain is also putting you in a flight or fight reaction constantly, so you can't recover, unless...

You retrain your brain. How? Through meditation, visualization, awareness and positive intention.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Ashok Gupta, the Director of the Gupta Program. He has dedicated his life to helping people get their life back from Chronic Illness, improving people’s well-being, and helping them achieve their potential. He has been teaching meditation around the world for over 15 years... and I've been using his guided meditations for years to be and feel well. From London, he runs a global e-clinic specializing in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia & Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. And now he's offering a FREE TRIAL of his online program...

Ashok has spent many years researching the brain neurology of emotion and linking well-being tools with science. He has published medical papers on the basis of stress-related illnesses.

Sgn up for the free trial to get a feel for how it works, and whether this treatment is right for you.

You have nothing to lose by giving the program a chance, and to start your journey towards health and happiness!
Namaste!

Improve Your Visualizations: Balance the Third Eye Chakra

6/3/2015

0 Comments

I recently got a review for my first book, The Chakra Diaries, in which the reader said she had a hard time visualizing the chakra meditations provided at the beginning of each section. I’ve met many people who are not visually oriented, who would like to be better able to visualize what they want, and improve their intuition, imagination and psychic abilities. So, let’s do some Dynamind tapping for the Third Eye Chakra.

Through this chakra center, you can tune in to the higher self in order to receive guidance and realistically perceive and visualize the future. It vibrates with the energy of the color indigo.

Emotional or mental health issues include confusion, brain fog, aimlessness and an inability to see the big picture or separate fact from fiction. Physical health issues commonly associated with the Third Eye Chakra include headaches, sinus problems, vision problems, learning disabilities and nightmares.

When the Third Eye Chakra is balanced, you have the ability to think clearly and the ability to trust your own inner wisdom, along with an increase in your intuitive, telepathic and psychic abilities, including clairvoyance or clear seeing.

USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA

1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position.

2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g.,

“I can’t concentrate and that can change. I want that feeling to go away.”

“I have a sinus headache and that can change. I want that pain to go away.”

If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Third Eye Chakra, with a declaration such as:

“I’m not as intuitive as I want to be. I want to live in the light, seeing and thinking clearly.”

3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra).

4) BREATHE – Direct your breath, inhaling with your attention on the crown of your head, exhaling with your attention below your feet.

Repeat until you feel the desired result.

Namaste!

Mothers' Love and Wisdom

5/11/2013

0 Comments

From My Mama’s Kitchen by Johnny Tan is about the power of unconditional love, offered to him along with a heavy dose of wisdom, by both his adopted mother in Malaysia, and the 8 other women with whom he bonded in America where he came to attend college. Through their motherly love and recipes for living, they made a positive difference in his life. They also offer a model of how mothers can be effective teachers, coaches and counselors for their children.

The book offers a wealth of wisdom for good parenting skills and effective communication. Some of the motivational words of wisdom from his moms which helped Johnny overcome the challenges of everyday living include:

Have faith that the right things will come along at the right time and in the right way;
You can accomplish anything if you focus mind, body and spirit on it;
Be present in the moment for what we do today will determine what happens tomorrow;
Trust that all things will work out for the greatest good;
Be a good listener;
Never stop learning; and
Successful people always visualize their successes before they actually attain them.

I found this wisdom to be very close to my own philosophy and I am a big fan of guided visualizations, which is why I offer a free chakra balancing meditation.

The book pays tribute to all moms, using the kitchen as a wonderful backdrop where Johnny and his moms enjoyed their many conversations. At the end of the book, Johnny incorporates nine of his favorite recipes made by his moms. Give this book to your mom for Mother's Day or any day - it includes a blank dedication page for readers to inscribe their own loved one's name, and a space where readers can record their own recipes for living.

About Johnny Tan
Johnny Tan’s journey began when he started college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Adopted at birth by his Malaysian mom, he realized the rich spiritual connections that resulted from meeting his foster mom in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and 7 other women who would play important roles in his life. Guided by his business achievements and his 9 moms, Johnny experienced the passion to compose From My Mamaʼs Kitchen to honor his moms and mothers everywhere. Released with the endorsement of the National Association of Mothers’ Centers, the book has won five awards and made the Amazon Best Seller List in several categories.

The bookʼs success led Johnny to launch his consulting and speaking career to teach strategies on how to use the power of unconditional love to attain harmony. Here, he answers my questions:

What inspired you to write the book?

Johnny: First and foremost, Happy Mother’s Day to you and thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts and celebrate Mother’s Day with your followers.

In late 1999, I decided to write a book to preserve food recipes from my moms. I wanted to create a keepsake for myself. However, seven years went by without inspiration. For one reason or another I could not launch it. I felt there was something missing. In retrospect, I knew that the timing of its undertaking was not right.

Finally, in January of 2007, my then 90-year old Italian foster mom called me, and asked, “Johnny, when are you planning to start on the book? I hope you will finish it before I die.” That turned out to be the wake up call I needed. That April, I started scheduling a couple of hours each evening to write. I would meditate and write whatever came to mind. As the project developed, a theme emerged from the drafts. I realized that Unconditional Motherly Love was the common thread that connected these wonderful women to me.

Over the years, my mom, in her many trips to visit me from Malaysia, had met these ladies and was glad and thankful that they were in my life to take care of her son. She offered to take care of their children if they were ever in Malaysia.

Everything was coming to me crystal clear, and I started writing about the timeless recipes for living rather than food recipes. I was spiritually guided, and I finished the book in 9 months. I used this title because the kitchen is the heart of every home, and it was where my moms and I enjoyed our many conversations. I remember the late evening telephone conversations I had with my moms while cooking dinner, asking for advice about what I was cooking and discussing the latest developments in my life. The timing was especially perfect from my Malaysian mom because we were 13 hours apart. I was home cooking at 8 pm and she was just beginning her day at 9 am.

What "one special idea" do you hope readers will take away from your book?

Johnny: The book gives the readers a chance to recall those magical loving moments they shared with their mothers. It is this unconditional motherly love that makes us who we are. The book speaks from the heart with solutions, skills and wisdom to assist the readers to become better teachers, coaches and counselors to their loved ones. It will inspire and motivate them. It is my hope that readers realize when love is given without regard to conditions it provides us with the empowerment that drives our ambition to succeed.

Where do you find your inspiration to write?

Johnny: The inspiration to write comes from my life’s journey, The experiences I have encountered, good or bad form the basis of my understanding and appreciation for the power of relationships, the nature of love and the meaning of life.

Many of the "recipes for living" from your Moms are akin to the principles of the world's great philosophies. How would you advise others to meet and recognize such wise women?

Johnny: The secret to meeting and recognizing such wise women starts from a sincere desire to build lasting relationships. Engaging those kind of special people and building relationships demands a thorough understanding of the mechanics involved in establishing such a connection. These three ingredients: authenticity, humility and speaking from the heart, are vital in the building process. A relationship built on mutual respect and admiration results in harmony.

Namaste and Happy Mother's Day!

GUIDED VISUALIZATIONS

11/28/2010

1 Comment

Some people have no problem sitting in meditation, with a quiet mind, perhaps using a mantra to keep out intrusive thoughts. Others require a more active meditation, which can be achieved through guided visualizations. I have always employed relaxation tapes, focusing on everything from building self esteem and reaching stillpoint, to progressive relaxation of every muscle in my body, which I often use in bed before I fall asleep, usually with the headphones still stuck on my ears.

In writing THE CHAKRA DIARIES, I used Chakra Meditations to introduce the chapters of different participants in the Chakra Workshop who were dealing with issues pertaining to that chakra. I was asked to record these meditations so that a person could listen to them in sequence. The beautiful spiritual music of Aryeh David, from his album "Love's Whispers" accompanies the guided meditation. "Through all of life's journey, love is actually the only thing there is... May this music awaken the love within and remind you of who you truly are," he writes.

I've posted a free preview on the Chakra Meditation page of TheChakras.org for the next two weeks - after that it will be available as an MP3 download for sale at Amazon.com.

Please listen and may you enjoy peace, harmony and balance.
Namaste!
