How Music Affects Water and What This Means to Us

Posted on January 17th, 2012 in Daring | 3 Comments »

Can words and music really affect water? Dr. Masaru Emoto, a doctor of alternative medicine from Japan, has conducted many experiments on water crystals and have found that words and music have both positive and negative effects on water. Dr. Emoto‘s experiments have been published in several books, one of them the well known book The Hidden Messages in Water. His findings show that music has a big effect on water and therefore, on us as well, since we are largely made up of water.

Dr. Emoto put water into containers and wrote or typed different thoughts and feelings on labels and put them on the containers. Immediately afterwards, the water was frozen and the combination of a microscope and high-speed photography resulted in photos of water crystals. Beautiful water crystals were formed when Dr. Emoto used beautiful words, such as love and gratitude, while misshapen and distorted crystals were formed when slang or swear words were used. Polluted water formed ugly crystals, but after polluted water was prayed over, prettier water crystals resulted.

Such amazing findings show that words, both written and spoken, can actually have an effect on water. But what about music? Dr. Emoto also did these water crystal experiments with music. He put water between two speakers and turned on a specific piece of music for several hours. Then the water was frozen and photographed by Dr. Emoto.

Classical music such as those by Beethoven and Bach resulted into beautiful water crystals. Dr. Emoto also found that the Tibet Sutra and the Kawachi Folk Dance all produced pretty water crystals. However, rock music did not have the same results – instead, rings of cracks showed up when the water exposed to rock music was frozen.

These results by Dr. Emoto and other scientists since then have shown that some music has healing properties and others don’t. What’s even more amazing is that music actually has an effect on non-living, physical matter. Since 70% of our bodies are made up of water, we can apply the healing properties of classical music to our own bodies.

Every piece of music has different frequencies, and these frequencies can reach different parts of our body to assist our immune systems and minds to achieve healing and other positive effects. Dr. Emoto has said that he sees energy as vibrations moving through matter. These vibrations are called hado by Dr. Emoto. Hado translates as “wave motions” or “vibrations.”

For example, listening to “The Moldau” by Bedrich Smetana can reduce irritability and energize the lymphatic tissues of the body. Dr. Emoto attributes this to the hado in the music that can cancel out the hado of irritability. The music also resonates with the hado of lymphatic system. Other examples include listening to “The Blue Danube” by Johann Strauss II will revitalize your central nervous system, while listening to the opera “Lohengrin” by Richard Wagner will remove the hado of self-pity from your thoughts.

In all, Dr. Emoto and his research and findings on how music affects water has profound implications for us and the role music plays in our lives.

+ complimentary eBook: “Metamorphosis”

In the book, Gregor wakes up to discover he has turned into a giant insect. This change makes him literally and emotionally separate from his family members – indeed, from humanity in general – and he even refers to it as his “imprisonment.” After his transformation he stays almost exclusively in his room with his door closed and has almost no contact with other people. At most, his sister Grete spends a few minutes in the room with him, and during this time Gregor always hides under the couch and has no interaction with her. But as we learn over the course of the story, this feeling of estrangement actually preceded his transformation. Shortly after waking and discovering that he has become a bug, Gregor reflects on his life as a traveling salesman, noting how superficial and transitory his relationships have become as a result of his constant traveling. Later, Gregor recalls how his initial pride at being able to support his family faded once his parents began to expect that support, and how he felt emotionally distant from them as a result. In fact, the alienation caused by Gregor’s metamorphosis can be viewed as a reflection of the alienation he already felt as a person.

What is Personal Development and Why Bother?

Posted on January 1st, 2012 in Daring, Personal, Site News, trans4mind | 2 Comments »

Part of the nature of humans is to be constantly developing, growing and moving toward a balanced and mature way of being. Our present personality is determined by both who and what we have been and by the person we strive to become. The goal of personal development is to learn and apply that which enables us to attain emotional wellbeing, understanding and effectiveness, and to share this knowledge with others.

Personal development works by…
enhancing and integrating rational, emotive and intuitive faculties – mind, body and spirit working in unison.

Personal development empowers us…
to live a happy and fulfilling life, through exercising free choice, seeing objective truth and realizing the highest degree of purpose.

Using the personal development resources at Trans4mind you can become your own life coach – or learn to help and coach others. What you learn carries over to your career and professional development, and working well in a team. As your responsibility expands, so does your leadership… fully aligned with your inner knowing, values and life purpose, and guided by the principle of loving service.

But why bother now?
Personal development is the conscious evolution of human nature, and yet throughout history it has been sorely lacking! Although it is in our nature to learn and grow, we are held back by our culture, which is predominantly focused on survival needs, each of us in competition with others, and our spiritual inner nature is repressed. The animal rules. We make no room for unconditional love.

Even though the culture may have evolved with technological advancement and administrative complexity, human nature has not moved forward as it might. We are now paying the price for human selfishness and inconsideration. Looking at the outlook in 2012, the quality of our lives on this planet – even our survival – now depends on each of us taking responsibility for our personal growth.

We truly need a more conscious Mankind and that begins at home, with each one of us.

The human being needs to awaken to the soul that inhabits each body and is our true self and source of inner knowing. Awaken through a process of self-discovery, leading to one’s own, self-directed spirituality. We need to become mindfully conscious instead of ruled by the dictates of instincts, past habits and fixed beliefs. We need to throw away dogma, open our minds and reconsider. Instead of fear about our survival and competitive angst, we will then be motivated by compassionate understanding and creative love.

It is said, whatever you are willing to put up with is exactly what you will have. Well enough of that, it is time to overturn the tables in the temple, to insist on reform wherever we find injustice, greed or waste. And first and foremost to reform our own way of living – to raise the flags of our dearest held values up high. For those that do move forward, the next epoch – that is almost upon us as we move into 2012 – will be a celebration of human cooperation and shared love. It’s our best hope for the future – and it’s in our hands. We have the tools.

Bye Cultivate Life Magazine – Hi Trans4mind Newsletter!

Posted on December 20th, 2011 in Recommended, Site News, trans4mind | 1 Comment »

Today marks the final edition of Cultivate Life! Magazine. Greg Willson, the editor in Australia, can no longer afford to contribute 3 days each week and instead he’ll be focusing on the Trans4mind eBooks imprint, which has started well and has just greatly expanded its distribution, including into the iBookstore. Furthermore, the magazine format we have been offering has proven unpopular, with only a few percent of subscribers reading each issue, which is hardly encouraging. So changes are needed, hopefully to something even better…

So… in 2012 I’m reverting to the popular format of olden times, the Trans4mind Newsletter, with a selection of articles included in full within the email. Not too many, though, just two or three. Because there will be no online version from now on, it will be less time consuming to produce. So win-win, I hope. In addition, each issue will feature a brand new PDF eBook, available exclusively for subscribers to download. These will be well worth reading and collecting, I promise you.

As this is the final issue of CLM, Greg has put together a line up of CLM favourites. In this issue #66 we feature a two-chapter excerpt of the T4M ebook, The Lightworker. As this is also the Christmas issue, Guy Finley has come to the party with a free download of his 8-hour, 8 MP3 course, Seven Steps to Oneness. This currently sells on his website for $24.95 but is free to Cultivate Life readers who use the provided link.

Readers will also be able to download Joyce Shafer’s multi-article pdf, You Are More, which has already chalked up about 10,000 reads.

Note: Past online and PDF issues of the full Cultivate Life! Magazine remain available exclusively to Members of the World of Inspiration eLibrary.

A fantastic artist I’ve discovered!

Posted on December 7th, 2011 in miscellaneous, Personal, Recommended, Site News | 17 Comments »

I’ve discovered one of the best artists that I’ve encountered in all my (many) years.

Where we live, in the center of France, in the Bourgogne (Burgundy in English terms) we have made many new friends over the past year. Two of the best are Bas and Agnès van Gaalen, Dutch expatriates, who run a cultural center adjoined to their home at a beautiful little country village called Mougny.

Well, Agnès is an artist and over the last year I have bought many of her paintings… they’re irresistible.

I know, like music, art is very much a personal taste – nevertheless I feel this person’s work should be well known. She uses a mixed media of ink line drawing and watercolor washes, montaged with photographs, applied to thick hand-made paper, and many of the images have an Oriental influence. They’re unique. Here’s an example:

Horses - Small Gift Painting by artist Agnès van Gaalen

Bas has created a new site to show and sell a particular variety of Agnès’ paintings, like the one above – card-sized so they are ideal as gifts for Christmas or birthdays or for no particular reason… a demonstration of love. And incredible value at $25 including shipping world-wide. Each of these are originals, a one-off painting that is not quick to do – they’re not prints nor copies, so they’re a gift to treasure and probably to frame.

See what you think… Small Gift Paintings

You want more ENERGY, right? Who doesn’t?!

Posted on December 1st, 2011 in miscellaneous, Personal, Recommended | 16 Comments »

Every morning, millions of people all around the world crawl out of bed, wipe the sleep from their eyes, and hit “brew” on the coffee machine. For most people, coffee = energy. BUT… whilst it’s true that coffee can give you a quick surge in short-lived energy, what if there was a better way to enjoy energy… all day long? Well, Yuri Ulkaim is going to show you in this eye-opening article:

Don’t Be Fooled…

Here at Trans4mind we’ve been following Yuri’s advice for cleansing the body and increasing energy for several months – to be honest, it’s transformed our health! We feel so much better. No pills – just dietary changes. A big change in what we include in our meals but they’re delicious, and no more of that falling asleep in the afternoon. Plus a new bounce in our steps when we go out. Here’s a PDF you can download which introduces this system…

Digestion – Why You’re Much More Than What You Eat

In this free report you’ll discover:

  • each step of the “normal” digestive process,
  • where things go terribly wrong in the digestive process for most people,
  • how this one food nearly ruined my intestines for good,
  • the #1 cause of food allergies, autoimmune conditions, and the general decline in health experienced by most people.
  • and a few more really important things.

I’m sure you can put aside 10 minutes to whip through this 9-page report – it could be the most valuable 10 minutes you spend in a long time.

Or buy the program… Eating for Energy

If you lack energy, have dwindling health, are overweight, or simply are sick and tired of struggling with the latest “fad diet” then Eating for Energy may be your ticket. It is a healthy eating guide outlining nutrition principles found in nature that when applied create an abundance of energy, a perfect body, and life-long health.

Vanessa Flook shares: “I have been applying the principles in Eating for Energy for just two weeks now and am absolutely amazed! The meals are lovely and satisfying, I no longer have hunger pains, no cravings for sugar, and my moods have improved dramatically. I no longer get bloated or feel ‘too full’ and it really has made me think twice before eating other foods. I just love it, my skin is glowing and those extra few pounds have fallen off.”

Raymond Aaron says: “In a world filled with dubious diet books, Eating for Energy identifies the proven steps that will lead to abundant health, a fit body, and radiant energy. I can’t think of a better book on healthy eating to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. It is easy, understandable, inspiring, and applicable. It’s the best tool to come along in years.”

Ever wonder why animals in the wild do not succumb to the diseases that plague mankind? And even worse, that they begin to exhibit “our” diseases when we domesticate them! Obviously, the way we are eating (and living) is killing us…and our pets. Don’t you think it’s time for a change?

Eating for Energy is based on natural nutrition principles. It empowers you to make smarter and healthier food choices for a radiant and energetic body and life.

The ebook also comes with a 12-week meal plan and 120 delicious recipes that take less than 10 minutes to prepare!

We Have It Backwards!

Posted on November 25th, 2011 in Daring | 4 Comments »

Nanci L. Danison is the author of a series of three “Backwards” books… “backwards,” because that’s how many academic authorities have understood the actual truths of life: completely back to front!! These three books present what I consider to be the most profound and clearest statements of the essence of things I’ve ever encountered, derived directly from Nanci’s astonishing near-death experiences and the Universal Knowledge she was given when close to Source. All that, without ever becoming dogmatic nor burdening us with a new belief system. What I like best is that she is one of the few that realizes what is true from a human perspective is different from what is true from a spiritual perspective; indeed, truth is multi-layered. If you are at all interested in what we are doing here, living the human life, and why – and how to also live the spiritual life – then these books are essential reading…

  1. Backwards: Returning to Our Source for Answers – shatters the age-old belief that we are mere humans, that fate determines our destinies, and that a task master God demands our obedience and worship. Nanci L. Danison, JD, brings the credibility of a trial lawyer trained to evaluate evidence to her account of the answers to our most pressing spiritual questions: who is God? Who am I? What is the purpose of life? Why am I here? What happens when we die? And how should I live my life here on Earth? She offers a “life plan” from the afterlife that originates in and resonates with our true spiritual nature, and provides step-by-step guidance on how to access and develop our Source-like traits in order to bring peace and happiness to our own lives and our planet.
  2. Backwards Guidebook – takes us deeper into Ms. Danison’s personal encounter with the Source of all of creation, and provides more detailed explanations of the new spiritual truths brought forward in her first book. The Guidebook incorporates exercises designed to explore the reader’s current spiritual beliefs and help guide them to a higher level of perspective–that of the Source itself.
  3. Backwards Beliefs: Revealing Eternal Truths Hidden in Religions – witness, through the author’s eyes, the creation of the universe, early man’s need for gods and religions, the roles religious messengers have played throughout history, the origin of the Christian churches, Earth’s future, and more. Backwards Beliefs provides an incredible peek into Mankind’s history as it actually happened, a gift granted to the author during an afterlife experience in response to her concern that what she learned by dying contradicted her Christian education. This first-of-its-kind book reconciles some divergent spiritual vs. religious viewpoints with simple, clear, and easy-to-understand explanations of how eternal truths became hidden in human belief systems.

NANCI L. DANISON – VIDEO SERIES
Afterlife experiencer Nanci L. Danison is interviewed by Ted Henry (ABC News) about her death, afterlife experience and memories of what she learned in the afterlife about life, death and God. The entire interview is available on DVD on her website, Backwards Books. This is Part 1…

Continues… Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6

A second, equally fascinating interview in which afterlife experiencer Nanci Danison describes her near-death experience in which she died right after a needle localization procedure from an allergic reaction, left her body, entered into a black void, and went into the Light. This clip is taken from her DVD entitled “What Happens After We Die?”

Continues… Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

Further enlightening videos from Nanci… How Unconditional Love Feels, Everyone’s Psychic, What God Expects of Me, The Power of Beliefs, Creation, Self Healing
