Nadi Reading

Posted by Chris on Feb 14, 2012 in Personal Development, Spiritual Growth | 0 comments

Have you ever pondered your fate? Wondering what the future held for you? Or maybe why you’ve had certain issues, challenges in your life? Maybe you’ve suffered financially… or in poor health? Perhaps you are having relationship issues, or employment problems… and just can’t figure out why?

I wanted to share what has been for me, and a great many others  whom I know personally…. a life-changing experience.

To the uninitiated, it may seem too fantastic to be real! It has been referred to as “One of the WONDERS of the World”. That, quite frankly, is because of the information received…it’s NOT of Human origin. This is not some fortune-telling gypsy with a crystal ball… this is a Spiritual Science. These leaves have an esoteric quality… there are only leaves for less than 1% of the population…they are NOT for everybody. You will know if you feel the “calling” to seek them out… it’s providence.

As I sat in a small room in India, a “Nadi Reader” sang a verse in Tamil as he was “reading” the inscriptions on a petrified palm leaf …purportedly written for MY benefit… thousands of years ago by an Indian saint of the name “Agastya”. An interpreter  was telling me what the reader was singing. It was a process that began with me giving only my thumbprint as a means to “discover” my leaf.

During this process of discovery, several questions would be asked of me to “match” me with a particular leaf. As the reader sang  and the interpreter translated, I was instructed to only give “Yes”, or “No” responses. This would maintain the integrity of the reading.

What the reader revealed was shocking in its accuracy. While most of the details are confidential, I can say that information was NOT known to anybody publicly… least of all not by a man in a small room 14,000miles from home. The reading divined information about past, present and future events. But what the greatest benefit was came in the form of “remedies” prescribed to mitigate the effects and literally give us the opportunity to change your destiny.

Again, let me say…. this can CHANGE your life unlike anything that you may ever seen.

It Can Be Better the 2nd Time Around

 Where do you want to be …and with whom?

What do you want to do?

Whatever it is… have faith – whether, or not it’s even been tried before – You can do it… anybody can!

It can be even more enjoyable given a 2nd opportunity to achieve your goal(s). Hold tightly on to your dreams… don’t let anyone steal them under the guise of “helping you see reality”. The mere existence of a desire within you, brings about the possibility of it’s manifestation in the quantum field. It’s not magic!

All one has to do is to do the best you can, with what you’re given… that is, if you are going to be a “success” in any aspect of life. Listen for yourself – to those people who have “made it”. It’s not just the Rich and Famous, or the “Beautiful” people that we hear of… it’s also the “regularJoe” and “Jane” who have accomplished great results. As examples, they are a little harder to find. They don’t necessarily stand out in the crowd because of their lack of notoriety. Yet because of their persistence and determination we often get inspired to go beyond our comfort zone and reach our zenith.

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves” Sir Edmund Hillary (1st Man to reach the peak of Mount Everest – tallest point on Earth)

I wanted to be proficient in the martial arts. I knew that I’d never be a “Bruce Lee”, but I had a feeling that I had a “natural” ability for it. Turned out that I was very strong in “kumite” (sparring, or fighting).

What am I saying ? Is all of this simply gibberish? No… the theory is to”make lemonade out of lemons”. If you have not yet reached your plateau of success – for whatever reason – don’t give up… it may only remain unseen for a scant few hours of work, or mere inches away from the gooollllddddd.

Have a listen to the story of my “hobby”…and how the “lost years” make engaging in it once again has brought a “joie de vie” back in my life!

Breaking Boards… Breaking Shacles

Posted by Chris on Nov 20, 2011 in Personal Development, Physical Fitness | 0 comments

Yesterday was a day for breaking boards and breaking shackles... a most gratifying but unusual day! I attended a seminar at the Kai-Shin Karate Club in Haliburton, Ontario. The seminar was conducted by Sensei Mike Chapman (6th Dan) and was well attended by affiliated club members, some who had traveled 2 hrs or more to attend.

I had not met Sensei Chapman before this seminar… he’s strict, tough, but a most likeable instructor. He’s not a big man physically and I dare say (respectfully) if you saw him on the street, only his confident stride would give you any indication of his skill and mastery of this martial art.

In attendance there was a good representation of the many levels from beginners to expert, both male and female. There was , I’d guess about 50 or so participants including 15 -20 Black Belts. Everyone was paired up with a team member whom they would spend the seminar with breaking boards.

I referred to it as “breaking boards… breaking shackles” because only through experience will you ever know what you ARE… or ARE NOT capable of. One of the most astute attendees was a young lad, a Green Belt… who was probably no more than 10 or 12 years old. Sensei Chapman endearingly referred to him throughout the seminar as “a Monster”…not because of misbehavior, but because of his tenacity. I think the kid outperformed some of the BlackBelts inasmuch as he broke every board, except 1 on his first attempt.

I had the good fortune of working along side the Head Instructor of our own club Bancroft Martial Arts - Sensei Dave Dalley, who would extend the benefit of his knowledge which helped me position myself correctly and focus properly on the clean execution of  the techniques we were practicing.  (…and yes, for the record I made clean breaks on each first attempt) We also had several other senior belt students from our club attending… all of whom did exceptionally well. (My thanks also to Sensei Wayne Lord and fellow students  from Bancroft Martial Arts – Diana, Paula, Victoria, Bill, Celum, Kevin and Fraser)

Sensei Chapman did a lot to put the group at ease just by his demeanor, his straight-forward manner of speaking - imbued with some subtle humor, and of course, his technique. He assured all of us that some would be successful, others may not… but the key was to learn something from the experience. He also suggested that “attitude” and “focus” would prevail. If  you practice, focus on what you’re about to strike… you will be successful, he said – it’s easy!

My observation was that there were some students (including some BlackBelts) who did not have the focus or the attitude to break the boards, (and later concrete) for no apparent reason… they beat themselves. Our little Green Belt “monster” was breaking the same boards as everyone else. My guess is that he did not think that he would not… so he did!

As Sensei Chapman came by our stations throughout the proceedings, he would comment on one’s apparent readiness, posture and technique. I took a couple of shots to the chest, ribs and abs as he demonstrated for me – on me – what the technique I was about to perform would do if executed correctly. Let me just say… Sensei’s gentle shots were well placed and effective.

That’s really where this story comes full circle. Prior to attending, I wasn’t sure about breaking boards and was hoping that I wouldn’t embarrass myself. (* I had worked hard to earn Shodan {BlackBelt 1stDan } in Shorin-Ryu Karate 30 years earlier, but until a couple of months ago had never been back to train, gained 30 lbs. and have Parkinson’s) These type of events are something where you can defeat yourself with the wrong attitude. I learned alot yesterday, about myself, my focus and my abilities.

As a metaphor for achieving what you want in life, it was a good exercise to illustrate what you can do with the right attitude, no matter how big, or how small you are. Breaking Boards… Breaking Shackles

How To Go From Procrastinator To Producer

Posted by Chris on Jun 15, 2011 in Personal Development | 3 comments

“I am a Recovering Procrastinator”…or at least I used to think that I was. It may seem to be a bit of a stretch for some to go from procrastinator to producer, but I believe you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel once you’ve read through this content.

Recently, I had the very good fortune of  being invited by my friend Chris Kilber and introduced to a couple of dynamic individuals… Susan Sly and Erica Combs.  As we talked, I was invited to an online presentation hosted by Susan Sly, and featuring Jeffrey Combs. I’ve  blogged recently about this presentation on Facebook so I wont  go over old news. However it is because of that presentation, I  can honestly say that I’ve re-ignited a long-held dream.

If you are not yet acquainted with Jeffrey Combs, may I respectfully suggest that you should…. for so many valued reasons. Many people, he says, find his methods abrasive. But with having personally coached over 6,ooo  individuals over the last  10 years (with fees now in the neighborhood of $500.00/hr.) he must be doing something right!  I know from listening to him on the webinar that he has got the “goods”, so it was a “no-brainer” for me to purchase a set of his most popular success coaching audio CDs. ( www.goldenmastermind.com )

During Jeffrey’s webinar, I had found myself nodding in agreement one too many times, as he described various disempowering traits of many who seek success in different areas of their lives. I soon found out that he knows of what he speaks, having spent many “lost years” in a bottle or using drugs. First, to share those personal moments publicly, in order to encourage others is noble. But to do it without becoming evangelical about it, is really a gift to his audience.

The same thing applies as he talks about shedding the mantle of “procrastinator” and the blossoming of a “producer”.  His style is down-to-earth and I believe him to be genuine in his interest to help.  As I listen to  “Confessions of a Recovering Procrastinor” and “The Psychology of Asking”, I find that with some authentic effort on my part, I should consider myself a “Recovering Procrastinator”.

Procrastination, he tells us, is often a “control issue” because we can at least control our procrastination. He delves into the mind-body connection and identifies procrastination as the effect, as he also intimates the cause. Often times, he points out that we subconsciously set goals that are impossible to achieve, which then give us reason to procrastinate. Overcoming procrastination starts with understanding why you procrastinate. Jeffrey lays out 12 main reasons why we procrastinate and 6 keys to overcoming it.

Having the understanding that our unconscious mind listens verbatim to what we tell ourselves, Jeffrey tells us to take it a step further and leave the “procrastinator” handle behind. Instead as you start the work to overcome procrastination, tell yourself… “I am a Producer!”

WWN Review…The REAL Deal – Ray Higdon

Posted by Chris on Jun 14, 2011 in Personal Development, Relationships, Social Media, Spiritual Growth | 0 comments

WHAT’S WORKING NOW

WWN… “What’s Working Now” (@Magnetic Sponsoring) brings out the Real Deal tonight – Ray Higdon. Who else can really say that they’ve got the “feel” for what people (especially marketers) need. Something to help them… and in turn help himself go from broke to $50K /month in under a year.

Is this the busiest guy in Online and Network marketing? He goes from being pissed-off at his state of existence and turning around his sagging fortunes in the real-estate  industry and is now one of the darlings of the network marketing industry.

But it wasn’t without it’s challenges. After his self-admission of failing in a dozen enterprises, his determination to make abrupt changes in his life, as he says …’to leave “Loserville” or never to go back to “Suck-it Town”, ‘ has propelled him forward to “Star” status among network marketers. And with good reason.

There is a lot of hype in the online world. That’s simply a fact that can be disputed. It’s fraught with thinly-veiled promises of wealth for next to no effort. It has become easier to spot the bullshit after you’ve sampled a  few offerings.

Then along comes Ray Higdon. Here is a guy that you want to cheer for… a genuine, likable guy who has the best interests of his list at heart. His demeanor is steady and even, his delivery pleasant and non-threatening. How he ties it all together is the key to his success. Simply put… he DELIVERS!  Marketers are starved for reliable, good value, current  - content. It’s not rocket science… it’s awareness.

Ray tells us that it’s making the connections… the attraction marketing. that is behind his success, and I think if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find his passion for this “game”.  If you’re sinking in the vast sea of network marketing… among the 97% of online marketers who make NOTHING, You owe it to yourself to try to get the funds you need to start working with Ray… you’ll make your ROI. in very short order.
