      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/shields.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As your husband announces that his mother is due to arrive in a couple of hours, your hands sweat and your heart begins to palpitate as you quickly try to neaten and straighten the house to perfection. HELP! Can you possibly live up to her standards? Will anything you do be to her satisfaction?]]></description>

      <title>Defeating the Motivation Assassinators</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/krech1.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I've been in the weight loss, fitness and personal development industries since 1982. My expertise has taught me that permanent weight loss isn't about food, it's about maintaining or losing motivation. If you'll give me 5 minutes, I can tell you whether or not you're going to maintain motivation to lose weight and keep it off. As a matter of fact I can predict your entire health, life and career future.]]></description>

      <title>The Secret of Spiritual Intelligence</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/rossiter3.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Spiritual Intelligence is not a religion, nor is it religious; it is not a theology; it is not a philosophy; it is not a system of ethics or a moral code. It is not a rational intellectual faculty that can be brought to bear analytically or academically. Above all Spiritual Intelligence is not something mysterious that is the province of the special few.]]></description>

      <title>Have a Blessed Day</title>

      <description><![CDATA[I came across this little story - author unknown - which a friend emailed to me. It touched my heart because it is both simple and profound. It's really a story about using our God given creativity to look at any situation from a fresh perspective and, through rising to the creative challenge, to be empowered to attract abundance and prosperity. Every situation, no matter how bleak it might appear, always offers possibilities.]]></description>

      <title>Gaining Personal Power</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/page13.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Power and powerlessness are internal experiences that are responsible for much human suffering. We crave power when we feel powerless. We hold on to power for fear of powerlessness. We equate power to control power therefore seek to control. Let's start by understanding power. What is power? Here is my definition of power...]]></description>

      <title>A New Consciousness Is Unfolding on Planet Earth and Across the Cosmos</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/presser3.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An important aspect of spiritual understanding is that what we observe in our world is a holographic outpicturing of the inner. You will perhaps have heard many say that change begins on the inside. Indeed it does. In truth, the greatness of who we are, our God selves, exists on the inner planes, those aspects that we begin to understand as we begin to contemplate the true nature of ourselves. And that is the nature of this unfolding.]]></description>

      <title>Where Radio Meets Web 2.0</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/munson8.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Just about everyone knows what radio is: music and talk coming through the ether and out of your speakers or headphones. And if you're lucky, you'll like the choices broadcasters have made on your behalf in terms of taste, content and variety. Web 2.0 however is a lesser-known quantity, but think of it as the new Internet age where uploading is equally, if not more important, than downloading, and where collaboration, sharing and creativity are prioritised over consumption, control and mediocrity.]]></description>

All you need to do is practice a few, very easy exercises that tackle the biggest underlying trigger of migraine and headaches.]]></description>

      <title>The Power of Abundance</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/mccoll.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Everyone wants to know the secret to attracting abundance... However, until now, books on wealth creation tend to overlook the powerful forces available inside each of us that we can harness and direct in order to manifest the abundance we desire and deserve. This fascinating book, however, clearly explains time-tested principles for creating wealth, providing guidance on how to alter our behaviors and emotions to actually change the nature of our relationship with the powerful stream of abundance that we can tap into at any time.]]></description>

      <title>Expansion is Life, is Love</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/huey2.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[If we want to have more love in our lives we need to expand the circle of our concern outward. Initially we are concerned with our family and friends, but if we want to know true love we need to expand the circle of our affections out wider and wider to include our local community, country and world. As we expand the circle of our concern we discover that there are no strangers for all reside in the tabernacle of our heart.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The Universe is, by its very design, filled with the love of the Original Creator. Universal love is the aspect of Original Consciousness which holds Creation together. In the Original Creation, Infinite Being divided its consciousness into two complementary aspects - thought and feeling - and then set them into motion.]]></description>

      <title>Fear... Not</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/wright15.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I decided some time back that life made most sense when I recognized that the simple and the profound are usually one and the same. I saw that there were only two realities we live in life - Love or Fear. This unfussy notion gave me huge insight into our all-too human journey of bewildering emotions.]]></description>

      <title>Love&apos;s Simple Truths</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/heaven.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[How many of us can say, for example, what love really is, or how to find it, nurture it, and learn from it so it can feed and enrich our souls? How do we make our relationships work so that they - and we - are healthy, happy, and whole? These are questions which scientists cannot answer. For that we need a Master who can teach us love's simple truths and guide us onto the path of the heart.]]></description>

      <title>The Keys to Increased Confidence</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/radun21.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It takes hard work to be a confident woman, but the rewards are well worth the effort it takes. Imagine being able to go through your day feeling good about who you are and the decisions you make. Picture yourself laughing at your mistakes instead of beating yourself up. When someone offers constructive feedback or "criticism" you accept it gracefully, fully able to own what belongs to you and discard the rest. A confident woman is not afraid to take risks...]]></description>

      <title>The &quot;Not Enough Effect&quot;</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/bauer2.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I'm sure you've noticed that there's a major shift that's occurring in our economy. Whether you live in the U.S or any other country, the markets have begun their cyclical shift. Many believe this downturn is caused by external factors, but in reality, each of us plays a role in this cause ... but in a different way than you may even know. And it's not the "bad" thing the media, our families, government, business or any other system may tell you.]]></description>

      <title>Personal Boundaries In The Workplace</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/rossiter2.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Everyone knows someone who is a doormat, unable to refuse any imposition on their good nature. And everyone knows someone who is so tightly defended that they hold themselves aloof and disengaged from the general flow of things. Most people fit somewhere between these two extremes, but we often do so by shutting ourselves down.]]></description>

      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/lomax.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[When I began my quest for abundance by using the power of my mind, I came across many different types of affirmations. One of them was put together by motivational speaker Anthony Robbins. He claims the following affirmation, which he called an incantation, helped him to become a millionaire in less than a year:]]></description>

      <title>The Awe Inspiring Experience of Nature</title>

      <description><![CDATA[For a long time I used to think the mountains create a special energy that is restorative. Well, they do. But then I realized that it was more than that. Sitting beside a mountain lake that's so green it looks like shimmering teal silk and seeing those magnificent snow-capped mountains reflected in its smooth surface is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences I've ever had. And it happens every time I am in the mountains, without fail.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[During ancient times, in the area of the world where modern, western civilization originated, the Jewish people were given a great secret, the esoteric system of the Holy Kabbalah. It is said that the Kabbalah was handed down to Adam from God through the angels. The Holy Kabbalah is the mystical system whereby a soul immersed in the illusions of the material world may reach back to the Godhead and attain a merging with the divine.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It is not simple to determine whether food is the real reason behind your fatigue. Keeping a food diary will help you to establish your eating patterns. In only a fortnight, you might be able to find out which foods leave you feeling drained and which foods actually raise your energy levels. But even though each person is an individual, there are some basic suggestions that can be made as far as healthy diet goes...]]></description>

      <title>Reacting Emotionally?</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/jeanette9.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[People, therapists and researchers frequently confuse irrational thoughts with emotions. Irrational thoughts, not your authentic emotions, cause you to react irrationally to people. For example, road rage is not a feeling or emotion. Road rage is a conditioned reaction which surfaces in people when they get behind the wheel and someone gets in their way. Road rage is based on irrational thinking.]]></description>

      <title>Changing the Focus of our Lives to the Present Moment</title>

      <description><![CDATA[On the second webcast of Oprah Winfrey's phenomenally large online class with Eckhart Tolle, the stand-out for me was when Eckhart talked about making the present moment the focal point of our lives. Eckhart has a wonderful way of saying inspiring things using such plain language that we can all get it, no matter what our spiritual or religious background might be. We can see into the meaning of his simple words, and connect with the reality that they are pointing to.]]></description>

      <title>The Shift and the Hundredth Monkey Effect</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/waters48.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Shift is a collective transformation consisting of the sum of each individual's step into the New Reality. Each person, in their own time, is moving forward into a stage of consciousness which brings a wider vista and an awareness which springs from the heart. When enough people's primary attention becomes focused through their heart chakras, then the 'hundredth monkey effect' will occur.]]></description>

      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/rossiter1.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Light and dark are frequently used to represent the basic polarity of good and evil. The shadow is the indeterminate space between light and dark where one shades into the other, the deeper the shadow the darker the nature of what lives there. The shadow is also a term that originates in Jungian psychology and which refers to a nebulous unconscious repository of what we fear and dislike in ourselves.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[People think that their life will only be perfect when they have achieved everything they want, when everything is completely going the way they want it to go. They are looking at the perfect state of life as something that is in the future, that they don't have it now but they need to move towards it. The truth is even when they have reached that state, there will still be new desires that will arise to be achieved. It is an illusion to think that the perfect life is something in the future instead of being present with us.]]></description>

Your child is in possession of a perfect brain if it has learned to walk, talk and play as all normal children do. Because the skills of walking, talking and playing are so complicated and complex that only children with a perfect brain can learn. You know that children whose brain is not perfect or normal need to be sent to special schools where they are trained by special teachers to learn these skills.]]></description>

So figuratively speaking, the fierce tiger of distress eats at your body. How long has it been since you were still for a moment and "listened" to the tension in your body? Does your body have to ROAR like the tiger to get you to slow down and reduce your distress levels? Or can it whisper to you and have you take action?]]></description>

Many become alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals, commit suicide...

      <description><![CDATA[Since the explosion of "The Secret," there has been an air of excitement as people "try" to manifest their heart's desires.

      <description><![CDATA[Have you seen the face of real confidence and courage lately? No? Look closely at the face of a two year old. They know little of the world, yet they're up for any experience before them. Thoughts of worry and doubt and timidity rarely enter their minds. To a toddler the world is an endless flow of adventure and discovery. They can't wait to find out what's around the corner or across the street. In their live-for-the-moment minds there is no such thing as failure.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The universe is designed to be reflective. Whatever you put out comes back to you. This is called the Law of Action and Reaction, the Law of Karma, or is simply referred to using the phrase, "What goes around comes around." However, in spiritual work, there is a way to increase what comes around. What goes around can actually come back as more than you gave, and this involves a paradox.]]></description>

      <title>The Power of Surrender</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/rothschild3.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[How can surrender be related to power? We often view surrender as a weakness. Most people would imagine a picture of a defeated person or an army walking forward with heads down, waving a white flag toward the enemy, and hoping that they will live and not be too severely punished for their actions. It means, in these scenarios, hopelessness, a giving up of their stand - their desires of having things the way they wanted them to be.]]></description>

I also had a deep need to be needed, which, I now know, was a large motivating factor behind my (sometimes excessive) helpfulness. The trouble is, when you go out of your way to be so helpful it doesn't make people like and respect you more. In fact it's just the opposite. People start to take advantage. I'm not saying they deliberately do it, but they do it.]]></description>

One sign reads "Life is a Journey from I to We." That message impressed me like no other, to the extent that I still remember it 20 years later. Why? Because it reflects a universal truth of all religions: the path to peace and happiness is not about the indulgence of oneself and one's ego, but rather it is love and kindness toward others.]]></description>

Now it has been over 25 years since I took the written driving exam and my memory could be failing me. What I find interesting though, is that my husband's definition of the yellow light is "proceed with caution." In the driving world, proceed is quite different than slow down. If the traffic light that is used to control traffic is stop, slow (or proceed) and go, then I want to suggest a new traffic light to control our life: stop, slow and listen.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In Metamorphosis magazine articles recently there has been quite a lot of use of the word "judgment" that could easily be misinterpreted. The dictionary definition is clear: it's a rational appraisal, opinion or conclusion and as such a necessary cognitive process. But there is this use of the adjective "judgmental" in particular when referring to a faulty judgment...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Everyone I know is searching to find their life's purpose... to find the answer to the question, "Why am I here?" I've been traveling that path myself for quite some time. And the fact that the purpose remains elusive only seems to reinforce how important it must be. Anything so difficult to find must be very precious and worthy of possessing.]]></description>

      <title>Dying is Just Another Chapter in Our Lives</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Most people are afraid of dying whether they admit it or not. And I was no different until I reached a better understanding of the dying process. When I was an agnostic, I used to think that when you died that was it; the end of the story. At least I hoped it was that way but underneath this belief was an underlying fear that I might have it wrong. The question that used to surface for me was, "What if God is real? Then surely I will go to Hell, if I die as a non-believer!"]]></description>

You raise your arm and it copies you. You lift your leg, it will lift its leg. Shadows are fun to play with. You can chase them, try to hide from them and control their every move. But there's another type of personal shadow that most people try to avoid. This shadow is more than a reflection on the ground beside you. This is the shadow that lives inside...]]></description>

While making money is clearly an undeniable necessity of life for most, the mere fact of having a job itself, does not mean you have a meaning in your life.]]></description>

      <title>The Assumption Trap</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/radun17.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[How many times have you made a decision based on an assumption? When was the last time you assumed what someone was thinking or feeling? It is not uncommon for us to think differently, and many times wrongly, based upon our collective past experiences. Our brain gathers and stores information regarding all the events in our lives. When we are faced with a similar situation, our brain retrieves the data it needs to process the information needed to make sense of the most current event.]]></description>

One thing after another and the eternal search for happiness.  We spend so much of our lives creating an identity for ourselves with all the likes and dislikes that go with it.

      <description><![CDATA[I want this to awaken a resonance in you, like a tuning fork that vibrates so much that it compels you to take extreme action. A geat many people fall into one of two categories: They're either kind, caring individuals who can't make anything happen; or they're heartless, self-centered jerks with no values who make big things happen. Tragically, many of us accept this paradigm as the way life should be and as an acceptable way for people to behave.]]></description>

However, when you go from 'just a job' to a vocation that is doing what you love, it does require a change. It requires a coming out party, of sorts.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[When working with successful companies, over the years I have noticed there is a common denominator: awareness. These companies encourage their employees to notice what isn't working. They empower them to take action and correct any deficiencies. On the other hand, I've worked with many companies where employees make flying under the radar an art. Ultimately this leads to a dysfunctional environment where an organization slows or even stops achieving its stated mission or goal.]]></description>

      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/narang.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It's a proven fact that suppression of negative feelings is one of the root causes of stress. Our inability to handle them effectively causes them to build up over time in our systems. This can create havoc in all areas of our lives. Mind and Body are a unity. In fact, research shows that over the long term, a sick mind affects our immune system making it weak and thus prone to diseases. A healthy mind on the other hand strengthens the body.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sometimes it's not possible to take as many vacations or breaks as you'd like. You know it helps to "get away" and incorporate some peace and quiet into your life, but it's often difficult to take as much time as you need. One way to work and live with less stress is to make deliberate use of small periods of time to create your own little "decompression chamber."]]></description>

Reaching your true potential is the action of facing your fears and moving to a new threshold. You move in empowering ways rather than moving in disempowering directions. Empowering ways create an empowered self. Creating an empowered self, is a very loving thing to do and it takes courage!]]></description>

      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/latiff2.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Truly I tell you, there is a simple technique to clear all your self-limiting beliefs. It can be performed between 30 to 60 seconds once you have mastered it, does not involve any struggle, does not require any equipment at all and most importantly, is absolutely and completely free. The only things that you will need are your mind and body, as you are. You can perform this technique anytime you want - when you wake up in the morning, after a warm, refreshing shower, before you go to bed or even when you are sitting in the comfort of your chair.]]></description>

      <title>Instant Karma</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/waters42.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Karma, in the popular view, is often perceived as the bogey man of Eastern philosophy, as the stick that punishes you for doing the wrong thing. In reality it is much simpler than that, and it carries no judgmental overtone at all. Karma is simply reflectance. Reflectance is a property of the universe. Therefore, life reflects what you project. This principle of reflectance or karma states that life reflects your beliefs, emotions and actions. The stronger these are, the more apparent it becomes that life is a mirror of whatever you project.]]></description>

      <title>Instant Advanced Meditation</title>

      <description><![CDATA[I've been a long-time meditator and have taught different forms of meditation for about fifteen years. However, I'd noticed that some of the promises made to me by the various teachers or teachings I had encountered weren't being fulfilled. States like "Enlightenment", "Clear Mind" or "Blissed Out" seemed to have eluded me! A sweep of Serendipity led me to someone called Steven Sashen, who had found himself in a similar position to me after over 30 years of having a devoted, daily, Buddhist meditation practice.]]></description>

      <title>The Courage to Create</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/montalto12.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[There are several blocks that can prevent us from manifesting our abilities. A few of them might kick up some issues about having the courage to have our desires. New things, new experiences, new ways of thinking can be scary. Nothing is required of us if we stick to the status quo. Nothing is required of us if we just go along and let our race thoughts create our lives. Nothing is required of us if we don't consciously change and consciously create. But is that really what you want your life to be about?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[You can become a Master of your challenges and open up your channel to Divine Guidance through feeling gratitude. It is easy to be grateful when things are going your way. It is through struggle and challenge that there is an opportunity for mastery. Feeling gratitude after hardship is a tremendous cause for celebration. It is getting to that place of acceptance, surrender, appreciation and gratitude that can require some inner work.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Most people drive through life looking in their rearview mirror and judging the future by the past. They have a really good view of where they have been and mistakenly think the future will be similar to the past as they make decisions based on their previous experiences. Even though past experience gives a base for the future, there are many employability factors to take into account as you plan to grab one of the best jobs in 2010 and beyond.]]></description>

You can do "The Pause" almost anywhere, and it only takes a couple of minutes. The benefit of putting your brain into an alpha state even for a very brief period of time, is documented.

      <description><![CDATA[A long time ago I spent more than one and half decades with a person who would be considered a good man. Sadly, most of the time we were both frustrated with our relationship and I used to blame this on our lack of communication. But in truth, it was much more than that - only after extensive study, lots of soul searching and a separation of need, was I able to redefine what went wrong. Our values, beliefs and rules just never (well rarely) aligned.]]></description>

The focus of activity for a growing child is inward. Some people carry this inward, self-focus into adulthood. These people, so overly concerned with their own well being in a self-centered way, never learn the secrets of influence.]]></description>

Look at what is most important to you. Is your work aligned with what you prize most in your life? If not, this is a good reason to change now. Does your job pay the bills, but does not feed your soul? This is another good reason to quit. Do you find it hard to drag yourself out of bed in the morning? Yet another reason to quit.]]></description>

The fact of suffering, and how to deal with it and its effects, prompted the Buddha to present the Four Noble Truths. I like to refer to these as the facts of life.

It is much easier to manifest our intentions if we stop focusing on intending but instead we focus on just being happy with what is. Focus less on asking the universe for this or that and more on just being grateful for whatever comes.]]></description>

And also: "The Moon is eclipsed when the Earth goes in front of it . . . and the Sun is eclipsed when the Moon goes in front of it."

      <description><![CDATA[Let's wake up.You'd have to be nuts to be content that someone pays you 25% of what you're worth, wouldn't you? If that's conventional wisdom, I don't want the person who came up with that crappy plan anywhere near me. Or anyone who follows it for that matter.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What I want to do is give you the opportunity to manifest anything that you want. The only thing that you need is a couple of good pencils or pens, and a regular notebook. So how do we do this? Firstly, this is a daily exercise. You don't miss a day. Second thing to remember is what we're doing is creating the future. It's a four step sequence. And so, without further ado, let's go ahead and get started. This is going to absolutely blow your mind.]]></description>

      <title>Ending Poverty Consciousness</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/marshall3.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Poverty consciousness is not directly related to the amount of money you have. Rather, it's the relationship to that money or to material possessions. If you worry about not having enough money, you're in poverty consciousness. If you believe there is not enough for everyone in the world, you operate from poverty consciousness.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Our experience in the world reflects our inner state - yes, this is a kind of magic, but that is the reality, the world is miraculous. I have seen so much evidence of this when I - or a student or client - have made a genuine shift in our belief system that resolves an inner conflict, then very soon our real-world circumstances change accordingly.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It is interesting how I discovered the keys to success. As I was counseling my clients, I noticed that similar fears kept coming up that sabotaged them from getting what they wanted. I realized that the fears all fit into seven major categories. Then I changed the negative beliefs to positive statements and came up with the Seven Major Keys to Success. This is the first key...]]></description>

      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/marshall2.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I've had many significant beginnings/endings in my life. Probably not more than most people. Some changes have been elegant, some clumsy. Some have been so quick that I didn't realize the transformation until it was essentially complete, while some have seemed so slow that I wondered if this is what is meant by eternity. Not all beginnings and endings have been sweet or desired. But each has led to more joy.]]></description>

      <title>Is the Road to Hell Littered with Unfulfilled Goals?</title>
      <link>http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/sumpter3.shtml</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Goals are very important in life. They help you achieve great results. Having a goal is tantamount to making a promise to yourself. However, many make goals and forget a main ingredient: passion. Passion is the gas that runs the engine that manifests our goals. Many people set goals and do not believe that they will attain them. This lack of attainment is simply the lack of structure for attainment.]]></description>

I gained forty pounds dieting, then lost it all "Thinking Thin" and have kept it off for over twenty-five years. Perhaps you will be able to relate to some of my struggles.

      <description><![CDATA[Why is it that so often when we feel we are in love, we also feel we are in bondage if anything happens to shake the feeling of "security" in the love? Why does love so often make us dependent on the other person? Shouldn't love be a marvelous and freeing feeling rather than these other sensations of need and fear and dependence?]]></description>
