Dissociating From Subconscious Impulses

One of the trickiest thing with healing (read: improving our lives) is that so much of what affects us happens below our level of consciousness. We are, indeed, icebergs. So, while intellectually we know things to be true: we want to be happy, loving, at peace; in reality our lives are often far different. The …

How To Love Your Life

I've been giving quite a lot of thought to the saying "What you resist persists" (variously attributed to either Carl Jung, or Werner Erhard). The logic of this is reasonably straight forward. Our brains don't understand negatives particularly well. This is why when you drive a car, you look where you want to go, not …

How To End Procrastination Forever

I had a realisation about procrastination that I just had to share. In essence, procrastination is the end result of us having an aversion (or several) to the task at hand. If you let go of all of those aversions, well, there'll be nothing to stop you doing it, right? Ok, so there are several ways to …

TV Is Heroin Crossed With Hypnosis

I haven't owned a TV in almost 20 years. I don't miss it at all. Note that I didn't say I don't watch TV. I and everyone I know does. TV is everywhere these days: your phone; the internet; public spaces;  download & watch it on your computer. The only real changes are the increased ease of …

Are You Using The Internet, Or Is The Internet Using You?

I've been giving my internet use a bit of thought recently. I realised (wild generalisation alert!), there are two primary ways I use the internet: To waste time To find information and, of course, a few secondary ways: To build, create, produce, expand (eg, write a blog post, build a business, send love to people) To …

My Life's Purpose: Loving Through Service

In Oct 2009, I started Twit Cleaner. This business has been through some ups & downs, but over the last year or so I noticed myself disconnecting almost completely. I'd lost all motivation for it, and for life in general. I've kept working, of course, but my heart just hasn't been in it. I knew (some …

An Unexpected Gain

Here's something I have no logical explanation for. As you may have experienced yourself, when I hit 30, I started to notice I couldn't drink as much as I could when I was a teenager. Or rather, I could, but boy, it hurt like crazy the next day. So, I did some research, & figured out …

How Tense Is Your Face?

I'm the worst poker player in the world, but more on that later. The relationship between the physical & emotional is nothing new: If Charles Schulz figured it out in 1960, it's reasonable  to expect science to have filled in some gaps since then. In fact, there is now an entire specialization dedicated to the physiological …

Release Your Crap; Let The Awesome You Shine!

Releasing is a pretty straight forward concept: simply "let go" of any thoughts/feelings/problems you might have — just like dropping a handful of dirt to the floor. There are many releasing techniques available. They're relatively similar though, so I'll discuss the two key ones I've found so far. If you're interested, both of these stem from discoveries …

How To Never Feel Rejected Again

I'm finding that when I get the same thing occurring in many areas of my life within a very short period of time it's time for me to learn a very specific lesson. Recently I found myself feeling rejected, in various ways, in 6 or 7 different situations over the span of a week or so. …
