1. Grab a piece of paper and confess to yourself in writing the factors that keep you afraid of change. For example jealousy, lack, loneliness or failure.
2. Close your eyes and imagine a bright, powerful light engulfing you, lifting all your worries away and clearing your mind of all fear. Feel the warmth of the light surge through you, penetrating every part of your body.
3. Bask in this light for a while, feeling it in every part of your body. Radiate it, expand it out 10, 50, 100 feet around you until it grows bigger than your home, city, state, country and eventually even bigger than the planet.
4. Now recall the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that lead you to a place where you are fearful of change. Let the light overpower and banish all these unwanted elements. Do this as many times as you
need to clear a particular block related to fear of change.
Are you ready to create positive lasting change in your life, starting right now?

Always Ask The Greater Question.
This is from The Silve Life System, lesson #9:
"A student in one of our classes once told the instructor, “I can’t wait to go home and start using these techniques to achieve my goal of mastering the use of a computer for data entry.”
The instructor asked, “Well, why do you want to master using a computer?” The student said that learning this skill would allow her to get a promotion at work.
“Why do you want a promotion,” asked the instructor.
“So I can get a raise” she replied.
Why do you want a raise”, the instructor asked again.
“Because I need the money to buy a larger home”.
“Why?”
“Because I want my mother and sister to move in with me”.
“Why?”
“Because it has been our dream to own a big house together and live together as a family.”
“Good,” said the instructor.
“Now you have identified what you really want. It’s a large house with your family living with you. You don’t really want to learn data-entry. What you want is the house.”
“So when you go back and practice visualization – aim for the greater goal- the house.
Let that goal manifest in any way.
Be open to different ways it could manifest – it may not come through you learning data-entry. You might get another job, in a completely unexpected field.
Be open to all possibilities”.

Adapt and thrive by knowing how.
Breathing and imagery are powerful tools allowing you to adapt to stress and change, using ancient truths and cutting edge research on the function of the brain.
Begin to understand the secret to remaining well amid the stress and chaos of the modern world. Adapt and thrive by knowing how to regain calmness and equanimity.
Begin by breathing deeply as often as you can. Send your awareness deep into your lower belly, allowing your body to expand as you inhale, through your solar plexus, filling your lungs from the bottom up, all the way up to your collarbone. Hold for a moment and then exhale, releasing your collarbone first in a big sigh of release, relief and relaxation, allowing a sense of well-being to wash through your entire body, from the top of your head, all the way down to the tips of our toes.
This slow exhale resets the body’s balance. Changes in body chemistry associated with anxiety, chronic pain, and many other functional problems may come from lack of deep breathing.
During the inhale think the word “love”. Universal love and consciousness is called “shen” in ancient Chinese Five Elements Medicine. “Shen” resides in the Heart. Visualize the heart and see the word “shen” within your heart as you breathe deeply and slowly and naturally.
On the exhale, think one of the following words: happiness, joy, love, or calmness, changing the words with each exhale.
This technique is powerful so practice it often.

Breathing with Intent
Here is a simple technique to begin experiencing your own internal power. As you breathe allow yourself to begin to experience a deep state of relaxation and healing.
1. Inhale slowly and deeply to a count of 4.
Inhale, filling your lower belly on the count of one (1),
then your diaphragm for the count of two (2),
next, fill your lungs on the count of three (3),
and finally your collar bone lifts with the last part of your inhale on the count of four (4).
2. Hold the breath for 4 counts.
3. Exhale slowly and gently, through your mouth, reversing the order of the inhale.
Release your collar bone and shoulders first with the beginning of the exhale (1),
then lungs (2),
diaphragm (3),
and belly (4).
Make a gentle “ha-a-a-a” sound, releasing all your muscles in a big sigh.
4. Hold the exhaled breath for 4 counts, as you experience how the energy in your body seemingly slows down while you exhale.
5. Repeat 1-4 at least three times.
6. Now, bring your attention to the area of your heart, pretend your breathing is flowing in and out through your heart in a relaxed way….now, breathing just a little deeper than usual…
Begin breathing in love and appreciation, …step into the feelings as they arise …. really feel how you would feel…. breathing them in and filling your whole body with every breath you take …allowing you to feel better in every way….
7. Inhale slowly, and send your awareness high above your head… as if you have sprouted wings and now can fly far out into the universe … until you discover a great bright light … symbolizing your own Renewable Source of Creation…
Now … imagine you follow a ray of light back and allow yourself to be filled with this beautiful light through the top of your head … and let the light fill your whole body completely … filling every cell of your body with warm, healing light …right to the center of your own DNA.
8. Exhale slowly, through the mouth with a “ha-a-a-a” sound releasing all your muscles in a big sigh and hold again for the count of four.
9. Now, as you inhale slowly, send your awareness deep down into the Earth below you, as if you have grown roots, down to the center of the Earth. Allow the power and resources you find there to travel up your roots. Allow this energy to enter through the bottom of your feet, easily moving up through your legs; up through your tailbone, filling your belly, moving through your heart, up through your throat, filling your whole head.
Take a moment to imagine every cell of your body completely filled with this energy, opening and receiving.
10. Again, exhaling through the mouth with a “ha-a-a-a” and hold again for the count of four.
11. Repeat steps 7 – 10 as many times as you like.
Center in your heart, breath in love and appreciation, send your awareness up to Source, back down through the top of your head, through your body, then down into the center of the Earth, back up through the bottom of your feet, filling your whole body completely, back to centering in your heart and then send your appreciation out into your entire life.
You will learn that very quickly, this simple exercise can help you relax, help you focus, and slow you down.

Energy Overcharge
HYPER? OVER-EXCITED? BATTERIES OVER-CHARGED?
"It's wonderful to feel high on life, but if you're so super-charged that you feel disorganized, scattered or out of control, you'll probably function better if you "get it together!"
Try "Cook's Hook-up" from Donna Eden's Energy Medicine and taught in Barbara Mallory's book, Feeling Free! (to see it illustrated CLICK HERE) It feels great! For frequent hyper-arousal, do it many times a day!
OVER-ENERGY CORRECTION
Cook's Hook-up with Energy Imagery
1. Sit supported comfortably in a chair, or you may do this exercise effectively lying on your back with knees comfortably up to relax your back.
2. Cross your left ankle over right. You might think of this as an Earth Lock.
3. Cross your right hand over left at the wrist. Reach down toward the earth (or toward your feet if lying down). Imagine reaching way, way down to the center of the earth. Clasp the sacred energy radiating from the earth's glowing core. Now lock in your connection to the radiant Heart of Mother Earth.
4. Slowly draw your clasped hands up, drawing radiant earth energy up to your body. As your elbows start to bend, tuck your clasped hands under and up.
5. Draw Mother Earth's radiant energy slowly up through the center core of your body to your mid-upper chest. This thymus area is known as the High Heart or Soul Seat. (If you are familiar with the chakra system of energy centers, sense yourself drawing this glowing cord of sacred earth energy up through root and sacral chakras, through solar and heart chakras, all the way to the High Heart.)
6. Rest your clasped hands quietly over the High Heart, creating a Heart Lock.
7. Then mentally draw the glowing energy line straight upward from High Heart through your throat, brow and crown-of-head energy centers, and even farther, far beyond your crown, all the way to your Divine Source, wherever that is for you. There you might visualize a Sky or Heaven Lock.
8. Notice now, the energy connection you have created - a secure and radiant cord from the glowing Heart of Mother Earth up through your own radiant High Heart and all the way to the Universal Source or Heart of Heaven.
9. For your breathing pattern, inhale slowly through your nose, tongue to the roof of your mouth, collecting energy (qi or ch'i or prana), and draw that energy down through your glowing center core, all the way down to Mother Earth.
10. Exhale through your mouth, tongue down, surrendering all the ch'i or prana your energy system no longer needs, releasing it to the Earth for recycling.
11. Now, gently, quietly hold this position, and continue breathing slowly and deeply, for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until you feel centered, calm and clear.
The Over-Energy Correction (Cook's Hook-up) can serve as an effective and peaceful preparation for meditation. Just relax your hands and slip easily into your usual meditation procedure, benefiting from your present calm and clarity.
