Have you ever been a coach to a neighborhood team? I know how it feels the first time I've coached a team of seven-year-old soccer kids and how much they can really test my patience, not to mention sanity as they run around kicking the ball like ants to a huge, white crumb. It feels strange at first, having to be stared at by a bunch of kids who they will know that I'm not the one in the field. Sounds wrong in a sense, right? But what is the dead about coaching?

We use humor in our lives for a myriad of purposes. This motivation to laugh has its roots in ancient history (I have read). Since that was a few years before my time (but unfortunately not too many years before my time), I will have to take archaeologists word for this phenomena. I remember loving to laugh as a child. My mom was the "sense of humor proprietor" of our home, and making her laugh, was especially fun, as she was a tough audience. Especially when I was being grounded for something I'd done wrong, which was most of the time.

If you want to overcome your shortcomings, hypnosis is a great tool to manage just that. By entering your subconscious mind and alter the boundaries you have against different subject you are able to see things in a different light and change your behavior towards a more positive state. You can also use the art of hypnosis to change the mind of others.

What is this whole idea of 'altering consciousness' that everyone is talking about? Is it becoming psychic, clairvoyant, or meditating until we levitate? Is it increasing our memory or improving our sleep? Is it a higher IQ and better test stores? Or is it just perhaps the ability to meet our loved ones upsets with a calm demeanor, instead of a snarl and a growl. As I think about it, I wonder if it is all of this and more. perhaps altering consciousness is simply shifting our entire way of thinking, acting, and being in the world so that it works better.

You may have developed some opinions already about hypnosis. Maybe you think it's unproven, a hoax, or simply a big waste of time and money. But actually, in the past decade, the power and benefits of hypnosis have been proven by well-designed and documented scientific studies by independent researchers. Hypnosis may have been scornfully ignored in the past, but it is now considered to be legitimate, effective, and useful.

I am a positive, 'Law of Attraction Energy' kind of person. I am generally pretty positive and I look for ways to keep myself that way. I have read a lot about the Power of attraction, and often thought that what we need is a nice neat set of tools for using this law and having it work in our lives. I myself have used a myriad of such tools to keep me in a true and authentic positive mind-set. And in this article and some future ones I will share my tools with you so that you too can use them. My hope is that we can all have the Law of Attraction producing miracles in our lives, all the time.

Science tells us that we currently use no more than 70% of our brain's capabilities. Yet we struggle to cram our brains with content in this, the information age, where it seems to be particularly important to 'know everything.' Then too, along with the cramming comes the seemingly fantastical claims that we can 'have it all'- including wealth, happiness, abundance, and breath-taking love- simply by making up our minds to it, and using our brains in a more productive fashion.

There is a wonderful story that illustrates the advice Jesus gave the disciples when He sent them out to tell people the good news - the news that the Kingdom of God is within. It's about a conflict between the Wind and the Sun, about which was the most powerful. The Wind thought he was stronger because of his destructive might in tornadoes, hurricanes, sand storms, and electric storms. He pointed out his ability to turn a simple cigarette or lightning strike into a raging forest fire which could level hundreds of thousands of acres of forestland.

Power can be defined as the ability to shape and alter the course of events. It is both a necessary, and perhaps the most distrusted component exigent to human progress. While power is often misused, it remains an essential part of implementation. If an organization is to see its goals achieved, it must find leaders who understand how to wield power and act appropriately.
