You can heal yourself

Mental power is a source of life and death, of sickness and health, of peace and turmoil!

A Simple Map to Ultimate Health

A Simple Map to Ultimate Health
By Gordon Hu


We are in the midst of an unprecedented epidemic of chronic and degenerative disease. The health of the American people is in a long-term downtrend where cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity are out-of-control. Our infant mortality is one of the highest in the industrialized world, and our life expectancy is only 48th in the world.

It doesn’t have to be this way! This epidemic could end tomorrow with the knowledge we have today. We just need to educate ourselves and be willing to take responsibility for our health.
In his book “Never be sick again”, Raymond Francis introduced a simple model of health that almost anyone can follow. His health model has been hailed as breakthrough in our understanding of health and disease. This model takes the mystery out of disease, and provides a practical way to access this model.
The Beyond Healthy Model acknowledges only one disease – malfunctioning cells. Until cells malfunction, there can be no disease.

Power of Positive Thinking

Power of Positive Thinking
by Gordon Hu

What would you say if I told you that you can heal yourself using the incredible power of your mind?

Mental power is a source of life and death, of sickness and health, of peace and turmoil! Charles Collins discovered that the mind is an instrument that can be tuned and controlled as easily as a musician can tune and control a fine instrument. The basis of his philosophy is shown in a simple experiment:

“Take eight carrots, and cut off the tops, leaving about half an inch of carrot attached to the top. “Be sure to cut any green sprouts coming from the tops. Then place four carrot tops in two dishes of water. Mark one
dish with a ‘plus’ sign and the other with a ‘minus’ sign. Place both dishes on a sunny window sill.

For the bowl marked with the (+), “Several times a day, tell the carrots how beautiful they are and encourage them to grow.

For the bowl marked with the (-), Do the opposite with the others: curse them, hate them and think negative thoughts toward them.

“Ninety-nine percent of the time, the ‘plus’ carrots will sprout and flourish while the ‘minus’ ones will wither and die.” This simple carrot experiment offers proof, says Collins, of living power of the human mind.

If you can kill growth outside your body in such an obvious way,” he said, “just think of the damage you’re doing inside your body by thinking negative thoughts. He believes that this is the basis of all sickness!” “The carrot experiment shows you what you can do,” he insisted. “You can control the power in and around your mind. And once you learn to do that, you’ll be free of disease forever!”

I recently heard of a young lady who, while at the theater with her fiancé, complained suddenly of feeling faint. Her fiancé, a young doctor, took something out of his pocket, and giving it to her, whispered, “keep this tabloid in your month but don’t swallow it”. The young lady did as directed, and immediately felt better. Curious to know what the “tabloid” was, which, although it had not dissolved, had given her such relief, she examined it on her return home, and found – a small button!

Placebo studies show us that “a spoon full of sugar,” and a little faith, could be as real a cure as any prescription drug. In some pharmaceutical trials, one group is given the “real” drug; while the other group is given a sugar pill that looks identical to the “real” drug. Some people in BOTH groups get better EVERY SINGLE TIME! In fact, about a third of the “real” drug group and a third of the placebo (control) group – on average – experience the same degree of relief.

Hundreds of years ago, most of medicine consisted of natural remedies, like “snake oil” or “using natural springs”. These things really worked for some recipients!

In summary, some people healed no matter what they took or did – as long as they believed in it; and some people didn’t heal regardless of what medicine they took. This illustrates that medicine is not the only element in healing and that there are other significant factors.

The bottom line is simple: If you have a desire to get well, have a plan to get well, no reason to not be well, and have enough faith to follow through with your plan – there’s a good chance it will work no matter what the plan is. The mind is very powerful. Your mind can make you ill, or it can help you heal. With the power of the mind, you can literally overcome any problem, obstacle, or illness — even what have been mislabeled as, “incurable.” In fact, people have overcome all manner of illness with all manner of cures- they were all used faithfully by someone seeking to be well. It doesn’t matter what’s in the pill; all that matters is what’s in your mind and heart.

Personal Power in 7 Minutes or Less

May 10th, 2010

Personal Power in 7 Minutes or Less
by Gordon Hu

I think almost everyone who is interested in self improvement has heard of Tony Robbins. He has met with and advised Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana and mother Theresa. His personal power program has sold 35 million copies. You get the picture, he is the man. Tony’s high energy and positive message has been celebrated and talked about and criticized and made fun of for about 2 decades. Today, I’d like to explain what I have personally learned about Tony Robbins and share one of his life changing techniques with you.

So let’s jump right in. Everyone wants to be successful, healthy, wealthy and wise. But obviously, not everyone is living the life of their dreams. So what’s the problem? For Tony, the problem is our own failure to take control our body and our mind. Learn to control your mind both consciously and non-consciously, then you can control your destiny. What I have learned from Tony Robbins? Let’s start with the basics. There are 4 steps in his ultimate success formula, and I want to share that with you.
#1. The first step is to know your outcome, that is, to define precisely what you want.
#2. Take massive action, otherwise your desire will always be dreams. You must take the types of actions you believe will create the greatest probability of producing the result you desire.
#3 Gauge or measure the success of your actions. Develop the sensory acuity to recognize the kinds of responses and results you’re getting from your actions and to notes as quickly as possible if they are taking you closer to your goals or farther away.
#4 Fine-tune your approach and your procedures until you reach your goal. Develop the flexibility to change your behavior until you get what you want.

This formula isn’t something that will work on you, it’s something you can put to work for you. That means you must be willing to do the assignments and follow those steps. And you must be willing to take action in your life. Next, I will introduce you to a technique from Tony to teach you how to change your bad habits to good ones that will last and become your new habits.

Have you ever tried to make a change in your life but had trouble making it stick or getting over a hump? Like overcoming a fear or loosing weight? Tony has a 3 step technique for making changes that will last called Neuro associated conditioning. It teaches you how to change the way your brain works.

Step1: Identify the behavior you want to change. Now make an internal representation of that behavior as you see it through your own eyes.
Step2: Once you have a clear picture of it, create a different representation, a picture of yourself as you would be if you made the desired change and what that change would mean to you.
Step3: “Switch” the two pictures so that the unresourceful experience automatically triggers the resourceful experience: Start by making a big bright picture of the behavior you want to change. Then, in the bottom right-hand corner of that picture, make a small dark picture of the way you want to be. Now take that small picture, and in less than on minute, have it grow in size and brightness and literally burst through the picture of the behavior you no longer desire. As you do this, say the word “wooosh” with all the excitement you can – this sends a series of powerful, positive signals to your brain. Now in front of you is a big, bright, focused, colorful picture of how you want to be. The old picture has been smashed to smithereens. The key to this pattern is speed and repetition. Then open your eyes for a split second in order to break the state. When you close your eyes again, do the switch once more, Do these five or six times, as fast as you can.

This is just one of the many techniques Tony teaches to help you change your physical and emotional state Practice make it perfect, Once you master this technique, I am sure this will change your life forever.
Whether you want to master your finances, reignite passion in your relationship, create unstoppable energy, take back control of your life or achieve peak performance. Take control for your life NOW!

Happiness is a choice

May 7th, 2010

Happiness is a choice
By Gordon Hu

How can you be happy in your life? Is it that if you work hard, then you will be successful and then you will be happy? Many of us believe this and pass this idea on to our children. Most students who go to top universities like Harvard believe that. But the order of this is all wrong.
80% of Harvard students report having clinical depression! They were top of class all their life and suddenly when they walked into Harvard, 50% of them were “below average”. 99% of them no longer be “in the top 1%’ anymore. As a result, they are crushed; they really struggle with this pressure. They lost their sense of identity and what they thought was happiness. To address this issue Harvard created it’s most popular course called “Positive Psychology”. The underlying premise of this course is that you can learn to be happier just as you can learn a foreign language or to be proficient at golf. Happiness is a state of being, no matter what your circumstances are.

Now, you can only guess that this is not just a problem in Harvard, but the story of the world in the 21 century. Depression rates in the United States are10 times higher than they were during the Great Depression.

Modern society has put the cart in front of the horse. The rat race says, “Work hard and you will be happy in the future”. Turns out, we got the order wrong all along. It just so happens that if you are happy first and if you have a positive state of mind; then you will be 50% more successful! Happiness leads to success instead of success leading to happiness!!

Studies have shown that if you are happy before doing an activity, that if you are positive before doing a task, that you will increase your successfulness at completing that task by up to 50%! In one study, they asked 4 year old children to quickly build a stack of blocks. For one group, first they asked them to think of their happiest moment. Now, they may have thought of the peanut butter and jelly they had for lunch. That’s OK. As long as it made them happy, what the researcher found that if they are primed to feel happy before doing a task, their success rate and speed increased by up to 50%. Now, this is remarkable. This means that our brain is hard-wired to perform at the optimum level when happy. Now, you are probably thinking yourself, I am much more complex than 4 year old. Probably, that’s not true.
Next let’s look at a group that is complex, a group of doctors. The researchers took a group of doctors, and primed one group to be happy, one group to be neutral, and gave a third group a scientific journey to read vigorously. Then they gave them cases to make medical diagnoses on as fast as they could. They found that the group thinking happy thoughts outperformed the other groups by exactly the same percentage. They experienced a 50% faster rate of correct diagnoses.

If you are thinking about this, this changes everything. It changes the way we study. For example, imagine students cramming and stressing out before taking a test. They may be much more successful and accurate on the test if they actually spent those minutes telling jokes with friends or reading through happy times in their journal.

Same is true in the business world. If we send out neutral instructions to our employees, where we tell them to do a task without priming them first to be positive, we are handicapping them in terms their productivity and accuracy by 50%. That changes a lot!

The course Harvard offered covers the following very specific ways to increase your happiness.
1. Gratitude: Writing five things you are grateful for every morning. Just doing this simple task changes the happiness for the next 24 hours. If you do it for 21 days straight, it affects your happiness over the course of next 6 months. The reason is your brain is actually devoting more resources to be able to look for good things in your life as opposed to focusing on stress and hassles. You get better in navigating your life by doing this 30 second intervention in the morning.
2. Journaling: If everyone would write for 3 minutes about a positive experience once a day every day for 30 days; the researchers said we see a 50% drop in doctor’s visits. These people were found to be more social and their immune systems improved.
3. Simplify vs Mutitask: You will be happier if you do more things “one thing at a time”. They found multitasking increases people’s stress levels, and stress eats away every organ of our body.
4. Utilizing our Strengths: Find out where your strengths are in your life, find out where your value is. Individuals who use their strengths in every day life find they have the highest level of energy, highest level of productivity and highest level of success in whatever they want to achieve.
5. Exercise: Exercise has been found as equally powerful as anti-depressant prescription medicine. That in itself is remarkable fact.
6. Meditation: Just watching your breath go in and out changes the way your brain structures itself and changes the electrical impulses in brain. You breathe anyway, you might as well watch it.
Happiness is a choice, a conscious choice; it could be obtained by training.
Some people think we should feel guilty when so many sad things are going on in the world. I say that it makes it so important to choose positivity. Smiles can spread happiness just as frowns spread depression. In good times, happiness is a luxury. In times of pain and suffering, of depression and recession, happiness is a necessity.
We all have the choice to be as happy as we’d like. Let’s decide now!!

The Goldilocks Syndrome

May 7th, 2010

The Goldilocks Syndrome
by Bradley Foster

Definition: An extreme sense of entitlement. Expectation of Manna falling from heaven without acknowledgment or gratitude. Named for the ungrateful character in Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Twenty years ago, when my three year old daughter christened our tortoise Goldilocks, I always thought it was a very odd name for a beast with no visible hair on her gnarly body, blonde or not. Twenty years on, her appellation seems highly appropriate after all.

I failed to see that Goldilocks shares her namesake’s sense of entitlement. When the ‘real’ Goldilocks comes upon the cottage in the woods, she helps herself to whatever she finds. Not content to merely enjoy the amenities, she has the pluck to be fussy about everything she finds: one bed is too hard, one is too soft. As if everything exists for her pleasure, she never considers who it belongs to, that she might be imposing, doesn’t feel remorse after eating their porridge or breaking their furniture or feel the least bit grateful. Perhaps Goldilocks and the Three Bears can be seen as a way of teaching children how to be a better guest.

When Goldilocks (the turtle) is hungry, she rouses herself from the box where she sleeps and clatters into the kitchen. Especially when she detects cooking smells, she cranes her neck expectantly. More often than not, a chunk of curried beef, a raw shrimp (shelled and cut up) or a piece of mango drops in front of her. She eats (imagine a steam shovel tearing away at a piece of meat the size of a car), she defecates, and then returns to her box. To me, it feels like she has an expectation that tasty snacks fall from the sky when she is hungry…and she’s usually right. Any acknowledgement (apart from emptying her bowels), appreciation or gratitude is not part of this equation.

I chuckled at my turtle’s apparent sense of entitlement. I told my friends about her but then I began to notice that her attitude isn’t that unique. My teenage children appear when they are hungry, snacks materialize in front of them, they eat, and they leave, all with a disturbing lack of appreciation or gratitude. Could it be contagious? Is there something I’m doing wrong?

I have since dubbed this extreme form of entitlement, the Goldilocks Syndrome. I notice it at work and in many aspects of my life. I see it in beggars, princes’ and princesses, in General Motors and in those who expect something for nothing. My teenagers will grow out of it as they mature and learn that stuff doesn’t just fall from the sky. Like many of us, they become more grateful and appreciative as they learn how to fend for themselves. As for Goldilocks, there isn’t much I can do but toss her a chunk of mango once in a while and hope that food appears when she needs it.
