The Power of Your In-Tent

Written by: H. Bernard Wechsler

Article Overview: Two-secrets you will take away that is life-changing. Is it possible to use your fingers (acupressure) to eliminate pain?

The Power of Your In-Tent

Power of Intent The first Chinese doctor who used acupuncture lived in a cave

over 5,000 years ago. Without needles their tools of choice were pointy stones

and maps of where to place them. Both have been found. The use of needles to alleviate pain began about 200 BCE.

Three forms of proofs make me jittery: tradition, authority and revelation.

Quacks are masters of all three but so are medical school professors. Tread carefully says I when people are in pain. They will try anything and pay dearly for a sliver of hope.

Since Nixon's presidency acupressure and acupuncture have gained a foothold among patients in the U.S. The proof is as light as a feather yet they flourish

because hope knows no bounds when driven by pain. The Placebo Effect and

a desire to not waste money paid leads to seemingly miraculous cures.

Two Acupressure Samples

If it is non-invasive and has no side effects - it probably will not kill you.

It is free and you can decide whether to continue the experiment.

Feedback from 750 students who complained of annoying headaches including migraines volunteered to be their own guinea pigs. 82% expressed satisfaction.

One

Search with both hands and find your right eyebrow. The acupressure point is

above your right eyebrow within 1.5 inches. Is it dead-center, left-of-center or

right-of-center? Search. It varies with your sensory-motor system. Acupuncturists call the hot-spot a meridian line. It is said to release endorphins and inhibit pain.

Your job is to stimulate above your right eyebrow for 60 seconds in one of two ways:

kneed the 1.5 inch area by massaging the flesh between your thumb and index finger.

A second strategy is to use the nails of your thumb and middle finger to pinch

the 1.5 inch area for about one-minute.

Two

Another acupressure strategy involves the V area between your thumb and forefinger of both hands. The Hot-Spot is ¾ of an inch (one phalange wide)

from your V area web.

Example: Place your right thumbnail into the flesh of the upper (face) of your left hand and your index finger nail onto the flesh of the back of your left hand. Spread the V web wide and pulsate using your nails as points for 60 seconds on each hand.

Does it Really Work? Your decision makes you the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. It works for me.

Better Science

Professor Scott Frey of the University of Oregon submits evidence that your intention in watching another with a desire to learn creates changes in the structure and function of your brain. Say the magic word - In-tention.

Once again. When we watch with Intent to Repeat, structures of our brain

are excited, triggered and activated to repeat the new behavior.

The evidence (not tradition-authority-revelation) submitted by fMRI (functional

magnetic resonance imagery) indicates our brain structure called the Intraparietal Sulcus lights up like a Christmas tree by our intention to imitate.

Motor Area

Intention to learn and repeat a motor skill you see - shakes awake our own brain.

We are actually mentally repeating (doing the same behaviors) we watch. Our brain

watches as if it were a partner in the performance of the behaviors.

What causes our motor cortex to get into the act? Our intention to learn.

The brain cells involved are called Mirror Neurons, and this report appeared in Neuroscience on December 29, 2006.

The question for Dr. Frey is how does our brain take what it sees and turn it into

a motor program (neural network) for using the new skill?

RasterMaster

We teach the use of a RasterMaster (handheld laser pacer) for speed reading.

There are three ways homo sapiens learn - trial-and-error, observation and listening to an explanation.

Dr. Paul MacLean, divides our brain into a Triune system: Reptilian Complex (instincts), Limbic System (emotions), and NeoCortex (thinking). All three are

cognitive programs working 100% of the time.

We divide our mind into two areas: consciousness (assembling data and analysis), and sub or nonconsciousness - reacting with our ancient instincts and emotions.

Homo sapiens do not use their neocortex in isolation to make decisions; judgments and decision-making are highly influenced and persuaded by our feelings

and instincts. We are not a robot, but a cyborg using all three layers of our brain and all available tools in a collaborative system.

Learning

How do we show students how to use the RM and get them to translate the strategies

into a new motor program?

First they listen to our explanation of Vestibulo-Ocular-Reflex, the 14 muscles of

the eyes, and using peripheral-vision to enlarge our field-of-vision.

Second, they watch the instructor using the RM. They concentrate on what they see with a burning desire to imitate how to 3x their reading speed and 2x their memory.

They trigger their brain to pay attention and learn through the power of human intention.

Third, they use their own RM as a pacer to underline the sentences of the text.

They begin in a random way and transcend into specific strategies of expertise.

Learning the strategies (chunking) is by trial-and-error, stimulus/response and

cause-and-effect.

When we watch with an intention to learn - specific structures of our brain create

engrams (memory trances) of knowledge 90% similar to those producing the motor

skill by live practice.

Does the best learning program combines all three systems: listening, watching and trial-and-error?

Endwords

Professor Frey concludes: it is the intention of the learner not the visual stimulus they view that is the killer application.

For scholars: it is our parietal-frontal mirror neurons, which encode what they see into brain cells of our primary motor cortex.

The evidence is scientific and persuasive yet we prefer the tri-pronged approach

of seeing, hearing and doing. You decide.

See ya,

Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.

The Power of Ten - Do you want to save money and time? Make the most of your marketing efforts? The Power of Ten™ is about taking the concepts of repurposing and leveraging “to the max”. It allows you to innovate and discover new possibilities for any marketing you already have in place. Here’s how it works: Make a list of the most recent 10 marketing items you’ve created or paid to have created. If you don’t have any materials, you can simply list the pieces you plan on creating. Now pick one. It could be an article, ad, poster, anything you have used recently as a marketing tool. Take a fresh look at it. Brainstorm and free write until you find at least 10 different ways to use that piece. You can do this with as many pieces as you want, but for now start with just one. It’s amazing how much time, effort and money you can save using The Power of Ten™. Below is an example using The Power of Ten™ with this very article. Even a very short piece, such as this, can benefit from The Power of Ten™. Here are some ways I can use this tip: 1) It’s part of a new marketing program I’m creating that may be called Marketing Full Circle. 2) It’s on my blog. 3) I can tweet it (knowing that it will show up on LinkedIn and many other sites which display tweets). 4) I can go over to LinkedIn and post it to a group. 5) I can it to my ezine subscribers. 6) I will send it to my clients. 7) If it is a longer article, I can try submitting it to an Article Bank, or two, or three. It started out as part of an answer on Focus.com 9) Eventually it will be part of an eBook on marketing tips. 10) I mention the concept often at speaking engagements. (c)2010 Elevating Your Business What would you add to the list? How about your own? Give it a try and comment below.
Wills, Power of Attorneys personal, bank, health - These four items are important even if you don't have a business. You don't have to have a Will because the law has procedures that are in place just incase someone dies without a Will. It is call dieing intestate. However, it can be an expensive process for your beneficiaries and your estate may not go to who you want it to go to. A Will - helps you set up where you want your assets to go to and who they go to. They set out your wishes for the business as well. In Ontario, you do not have to have a Will prepared by a lawyer but sometimes it is in your best interest to do so. There is a lot of info on the internet and kits that are available but they key to this are the witnesses to your signature. You may want to write it yourself and then have a lawyer witness the signing of the Will. If you handwrite you’re Will then you don't need to have it witnessed. But the entire document must be in your handwriting no typing allowed. The Power of Attorneys - Personal or Health Personal - This gives someone consent to act on your behalf if you can't due to physical or mental disabilities. The Power of Attorney goes into effect only when you are incapacitated or you authorize it. So it can be signed and ready to be used but only takes effect when you are ready to use it. You don't need a lawyer to prepare these - there are kits on the internet, there are kits that the government have where you can fill in the blanks. But if you have an extensive estate I would take it to the lawyer because their could be other issues that need to be dealt with. Health – This Power of Attorney outlines what you want to happen in case of medical emergency, for example, do you want to be revived if there is no hope of recovery, is the most common reason, maybe the type of treatment that you want to receive for the particular illness you have. This Power of Attorney protects your health rights when you can't speak for yourself and it gives someone else the right to speak for you. In the Power of Attorney you would outline your request and designate someone to carry them out. Bank - This one designates someone to look after your finances if you aren't able to do them. The banks have special procedures and these forms are completed at the bank. So if you became ill then your designated person can take care of your finances until you are ready to resume doing them. The Power of Attorneys and the Wills are legal documents and they can be revoked or changed at any time. If your estate is very large then I would suggest that you have a lawyer prepare these documents to protect your interest. Again, the law does not have the same rules as a married spouse so this would protect the surviving partner in a common-law relationship. I realize that most of the subjects that are discussed on this site are concerning growing your business but I deal with the hidden aspect of the business as well and these could affect your business as much as if you can't find that next client. Happy and Prosperous New Year Everyone
