Visualize Your Costume

Wearing a mask and costumes for Halloween has made it a fun ritual to participate in.
 

A few years back there was the television show, Beauty and the Beast, with Ron Perlman (The Beast), Roy Dotrice and Linda Hamilton? The Beast's favorite day of the year was Halloween when he is able to walk around, as himself without being afraid of any repercussions to his beast-like appearance.

He even gets complimented for his "cool costume."

Yes, Halloween is a time when you can pretend to be someone else even if it is yourself.  It is a time when you can bring out the inhibitions that you've been hiding all year around and dress up as your alter-ego if you like.

 

Most of us, in one way or another, put up mental masks all year long. Some call it "walls." These walls hide the part of us that we don't want others to see.

 
Why not use the Halloween masks that best represents what you would like to visualize and manifest. This way, for one day, at least, you can walk the walk and be what you desire to be.


For example:

You want a vacation.
Dress up as a tourist would to wherever it is you want to travel to.

You want a motorcycle.
Dress as you would when you do get that motorcycle.
 

You get the picture.


In the context of mind control, the more accurately and clearly that you can visualize your goal, the more real your goal becomes in your mind and you will manifest what you envision as you envision it to be. 

Have someone take a picture of you in your Halloween costume, so you can put it up on your vision board to be reminded of it for the rest of  the year or until you manifest your desired outcome. Here is a good site to go to if you want to learn more about visualization techniques.
 

 

Dicotomy of the Human Brain

The brain is a dicotomous puzzle. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the movement on the right side of your body. The right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of your body. So, the left side of your brain is, really controlling the work that your right hand is doing.

The right side of the human brain (right cerebral hemisphere) takes care of visual patterns and spatial relationships. While, the left side (left cerebral hemisphere) takes care of language and logic.

Emotions can also be categorized as left and right brain. Positive emotions are connected to the left side of your brain while negative emotions such as sadness, anxiety, depression, are connected to the right side of your brain.

Popular or “pop” psychology would deem you “right-brained” or “left-brained” depending on whether you feel you are artistic or technically inclined. If you are more of an artist such as a painter, sculptor, photographer, you likely have a tendency towards being more right-brained. Writers, mathematicians, engineers have a tendency towards the left-brain.

You don’t have to stereotype yourself into any category. In fact, those of us who can better balance both sides of our brain will have a more successful outcome on whatever needs to be achieved.

The hemispheres of your brain are constantly working with each other so you don’t have to worry about consciously getting them to work together. But, try to find a good balance between the two hemispheres and you will find that you have a greater chance of succeeding.

For instance: If you want to be better at sports, you can use visualization techniques to imagine yourself playing the game. This technique is useful because, while the left half of the brain is working out the mechanics of the game, the right side of the cerebral cortex is creating the vision of the movement.
 

SAD Winter Blues

As we move into the fall and winter months, it is good to be aware of the winter-based Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). For those afflicted with this syndrome, the fall and winter months are not filled with thoughts of happiness and joy but more of depression and lethargy.
 
 
There are well documented scientific data showing that there is a significant increase in the incidence of those affected live in areas where there is less daylight; either due to shortened daylight hours or significant cloud cover or both.
 
 
These are some symptoms of Winter Seasonal Affective Disorder to be aware of as skies darken and daylight hours become shorter:
  • Feeling like you’re dragging
  • Can’t seem to concentrate
  • Don’t want to be around people let alone parties
  • Difficulty waking up
  • Wanting to sleep all the time
  • Increased Irritability
  • Craving for sweets or carbohydrates
Milder cases of SAD may be able to benefit from some simple in-home strategies.
 
 
According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the treatments for the winter-based Seasonal Affective Disorder is light therapy treatment.
 
These therapies may be used separately or in a combination prescribed by your healthcare professional with medication, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy or Melatonin Hormone Treatment.
 
 
When used correctly, light therapy SAD products have shown to significantly help win the fight against those winter blahs and anyone can purchased them without a doctor’s prescription. These lamps have proven to be very effective at doses between 2,500 and 10,000 lux; at measured exposure times.
 
 
There are many types of SAD light lamps and other light therapy products to meet your unique situation so it can be easy to enjoy what the fall and winter seasons bring this year and say goodbye to the winter blues.

Chopstick Chopping

Have you ever broken one of those chopsticks in half? Easy, isn’t it? That’s what I thought until I was subjected to one of those mind over matter, power of the mind tricks.

I was minding my own business, sitting down for a meal after a martial arts class, when a senpai (technically, someone superior to you in rank, but in this case, it was someone who had been in the class a few months longer than me), challenged me to a chopstick chopping challenge.

He told me to use only the paper sheath that came with those disposable chopsticks and, in one swift move, “karate chop” the chopstick that he held between his hands. I was allowed to twist the sheath into a rope since I was a newbie.

At this point, I heard about it and I heard that it could be done but I’ve never actually seen it done. I was not going to believe it was possible until I saw it for myself. So, I made him do it.

To my satisfaction, he missed on the first try. But, on the second, he split that chopstick in half with the piece of paper sheath.

Although, he twisted the paper, still, to me, it was and impressive power of the mind feat.

I tried a number, a huge number, of times before I succeeded in breaking that chopstick in half but I finally succeeded.
Although, to this date, I was never able to repeat the results, I know that it can be done.

On a side note: Another student peer, who we coerced into this mind over matter game, was able to break a chopstick in half 3 out of 4 tries (one of which, was without twisting the paper sheath) before we stopped her from hurting our egos anymore.

When our mind is focused and in harmony with the universe, it can command the wind, rain and thunder.

Now, I challenge you to try it.

Remember, the only way to be successful at this mind over matter technique is if you are able to use the power of the mind to focus energy onto that one spot where the paper meets the chopstick.
