The Natural Stress Reducer

In today’s turbulent times, stress is once again raising its ugly head. Wracked by financial turmoil, swine flu epidemics, wars raging around the world, and just a general feeling of chaos…many people are really feeling stressed out these days. (and can you really blame them?)

As always, the drug companies have tons of drugs designed to numb us from the stresses in the world. But do we really want to be waking zombies…with our brains so numb from the drugs that we can’t even really think a coherent thought if we wanted to?

Perhaps there is a better way to handle today’s stresses than just subjecting our bodies to a multitude of expensive and invasive chemicals. Maybe there is actually a natural remedy available that will cost nothing to implement…or to use regularly if you so desire.

So just what is this natural stress reducer?

I propose that stress can be drastically reduced through a regular meditation practice. Taking time with yourself to meditate and contemplate your thoughts and feelings can truly enhance your sense of wellbeing and greatly reduce the stress you are feeling.

Does this mean that you have sit with your legs crossed in some kind of yoga position for hours? Absolutely not! (unless you really want to – or feel most comfortable doing it that way) I can tell you my own regular meditation practice consist of sitting in a chair with my eyes closed listening to specially formulated audios that enhance my meditation experience. (more about that later)

The key to meditation is to allow your mind the ability to relax and contemplate your thoughts as they roll thru your mind. You should not stress yourself out trying to analyze these thoughts…but rather just let your thoughts flow naturally while just observing them as a third person.

There are many techniques available for helping to calm our minds…and getting ourselves into this observation mode. Some people silently recite phrases to themselves over and over…while others may hold pleasant images in their minds…while others may count their breaths. All of these techniques are great (if they work for you)…but for many, it can take a long time to master the techniques and methods associated with “normal” meditation.

In my own quest for finding ways to both enhance and speed up the learning process associated with meditation, I discovered an incredible resource for basically supercharging the meditation experience. This powerful program will literally have you meditating like a 20 year veteran guru in a fraction of the time usually required to master the various meditation techniques associated with “normal” meditation.

Bill Harris, from Centerpointe Research has developed a program called The Holosync Solution. As advertized, this program will really boost your meditation practice beyond anything you could quite imagine. Through special audio recordings, this powerful program will help you to utilize your left and right brain hemispheres better…and help your to better develop that observer state we discussed earlier. I could go on and on about the many benefits you can obtain with this resource (and I actually will in another post)…I would just highly encourage everyone to check out for free this amazing meditation tool. You can learn more about the this amazing resource and how you can try it for free by clicking here.

I could go on further about the benefits of a regular meditation practice, but this post is already getting pretty long. I’m planning on writing an article on the many benefits of meditation and how you can use it to enhance your life in the near future…so will post that here when I have it finished. For now, I just encourage each and every one of you to really look into meditation. (if you haven’t already) Whether you choose to use a program like The Holosync Solution or choose to go it on your own…I highly encourage you do this for your own health and wellbeing.

Claim Your Natural Birthright

Just who are we?

I propose that the answer to that question is more profound than you might imagine.

Many ancient text and philosophies claim that we are in fact “Created in the image of God” and are in fact “Co-Creators of this world and the universe we are all a part of”.

Putting our own current beliefs and notions aside for a little bit (not to say our beliefs and notions are not important)…suppose we really are much more than most of us can imagine or comprehend. Let us just pretend that we were in fact co-creators with God. What would that mean? And…How would we use our creative powers?

If we are in fact Co-Creators, what is the extent of our powers. Can we just produce things out of thin air? Personally, I have never been able to produce anything out of thin air, but I have heard of individuals who have been witnessed doing this. So perhaps that kind of manifestation power is possible for any one of us.

That then leads us to yet another question. Is manifesting things out of thin air the best use of our creative powers? I propose that while manifesting things out of thin air might be cool…perhaps our real power would be in how we utilize our thoughts and innate creative talents to manifest real positive good in this world.

Suppose we used our God-given creative powers and talents to benefit more than maybe just ourselves and those closest to us. Maybe God designed us to be much more than simple creators with such a narrow focus? Perhaps our powers are multiplied exponentially when we apply them towards the common good of many. (or even all)

A simple review of history reveals that many of humankind’s greatest advancements have come from individuals and groups whose purpose is to help numerous individuals instead of just a few. As many of these great contributors to society have found…when we apply our natural creative talents for the betterment of society, incredible positive changes can occur almost instantaneously.

Well, there’s more I want to talk about on this subject later. For now, I hope you will contemplate what we’ve discussed so far…and the questions that were raised. Any comments on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to explore some of what we’ve discussed further, you can check out more on the subjects at the following links:

May you always Create Abundance in your life… and the lives of others!

Conspiracy of The Rich : The 8 New Rules of Money

Wow! What a title huh?

I think that we can all agree that we are in some unique financial times these days. The average persons head seems to be spinning these days…with all the talk about financial bailouts and economic stimulus bills flying around. If you have followed the US stock market recently, you will see a market that seems at times “out of control”…with up to 5% or more in up/down swings occurring on a daily basis. All of this activity can at times feel very confusing…and even make some of us down right mad at the fact that most of the current decisions to fix this problem are being made without the majority of the populations input.

So what are we as individuals supposed to do about this? How can we insure that our families will be ok during this trying time?

In our quest for Financial Independence and a more Abundant Life, I think it’s important that we all have the full picture…so that we can make correct financial decisions based on the current reality we have in today’s world. With that said, I have found an excellent free resource that I feel will help you to get a better grasp of the “big picture”.

One of my favorite authors and mentors when it comes to financial matters is Robert Kiyosaki. As many of you probably already know, Mr. Kiyosaki is the author of New York Times bestseller “Rich Dad: Poor Dad” …and the developer of an excellent financial resource called “CashFlow 101″ (a fun game that teaches basic financial principles). Once again, Robert Kiyosaki has used both his creative talents and expert skills at teaching financial fundamentals…to come up with another wonderful resource to enlighten us about the current financial situation, the history that helped create it, and how we can learn to play the new game of finance.

While the title of Mr. Kiyosaki’s new online book “Conspiracy of The Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money” might turn off some…I can assure you that what he presents in his new book is based on solid historical facts. Trying to understand the world I live in better, and why the financial situation seems so chaotic at times…I have spent alot of my own personal time studying the history of this world. Even before reading Robert’s current book, I had already started to get a pretty good glimpse of why things are the way the way they are in today’s world. There are in fact tons of very good information out there for anyone who is interested in exploring it further.

Fortunately for all of us, Robert Kiyosaki has once again managed to present what could be considered complex information into something that is very easy to understand. The following is an excerpt from the about page at the online site for Mr. Kiyosaki’s new book that helps explain a little bit about the book and what Robert is trying to accomplish with it:

“Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Moneywill share Kiyosaki’s view of global economics and explore why people are now finding themselves challenged by these turbulent times. Kiyosaki will not only provide people with solutions to their financial problems, but explain what created today’s economic chaos — and how it can be eased. Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money will reveal that what appears to be the worst of times is actually an opportunity in the making, and a chance for people to invest in their financial education.”

The beauty of the current online project by Mr. Kiyosaki is that the free online book is being written in real time…so in essence, Robert is able to talk about current situations that are occurring right now, and what their consequences might be for all of us. Along with real time reporting, Robert Kiyosaki has also set up this new online project as a place where anyone can get involved through specific discussions associated with the topics presented in each chapter of the book.

I could go on and on about this new online project by the author of the Rich Dad series of financial information resources ( and I will post more concerning this revolutionary concept in future post), but I just wanted to make you aware of the special online project…so you can explore it for yourself.

Once again, I hope you will check out the “Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money”…and give us all your thoughts on this new online resource.

Till next time,

James

Welcome to Creating Abundance!

Hello, and Welcome to Creating Abundance!

I just wanted to say hi…and tell you a little about myself and what I hope to accomplish with this blog.

First off, my name is James Noyes. Among other things, I’m an entreprenuer, researcher, writer, and above all else…an Abundant Life & Truth Seeker. If the name of this blog attracted you here, I suspect you may be an Abundant Life Seeker too!

Through my own years of self-study of numerous subjects, I’ve determined that there appears to be 3 main areas of ours lives that really effect our ability to truly have an Abundant Life. When we focus our attention on learning how to enhance our financial situation, self-development, and personal health…we truly begin to unlock our true potential for positive change in our lives. (and the lives of others!)

I think most can agree that whether we like it or not…finances play a vital role in our lives. The better our financial situation - the easier it becomes to pursue our lives desires…and act upon the opportunities that come our way as we journey towards a more Abundant Life. While I personally don’t feel that wealth should be sought just to acquire more things, I do feel that the other huge benefit of becoming wealthy is very important in our quest for an Abundant Life…and that is the time freedom we will obtain! When wealth is acquired properly, we can free up time to pursue our life’s passions…and also have the time and resources to contribute positively to society in general.

In reguards to the 3 main areas of focus to achieve a more abundant life, our own personal development is also a very important part in the equation. To really achieve our life goals and the success we desire…it’s essential that we truly learn how to develop ourselves to the fullest. I personally believe we all possess incredible potential. Armed with more knowledge concerning our spiritual selves, and how to develop our natural creative and genius potentials…we can become extremely powerful forces for positive change in our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Last, but definitely not least…it is vital that we maintain a healthy mind and body. Lets face it, without good health…it won’t really matter how wealthy or personally developed we are. If all your energies are focused on the effects of bad health…you will never really be able to enjoy any abundance you may have created for yourself. Fortunately, there is a ton of great info and resources out there to help you obtain optimum health ( and even heal problems that may be plaguing you now).

In my opinion, when we truly begin to work on improving the 3 main areas just discussed…we can accelerate our ability to obtain the Abundant Life we are seeking, and achieve all our dreams and desires. Through my own research into these 3 main areas, I have developed a website that delves into these areas even further. At The Abundant LifePlan website you can learn more about the 3 main areas and about some valuable resources to help you increase your knowledge of these subjects and more.

Along with the website I’ve already developed, I plan to post in this blog…valuable articles, info, and the latest research into the subjects of Wealth Building, Personal Development, and Personal/Alternative Health.

The focus of this blog will be (as the title suggest) how we can Create Abundance in our lives (and the lives of others). While much of the information presented in this blog will be related to how you can personally increase abundance for yourself…I also want to focus on how we can Create a Better World for everyone!

As I said earlier, I truly feel we all have incredible potential for positive change. With that said again, I also feel that when we all begin to use the special gifts we came into this world with…we can create together…a truly abundant world where everyone benefits. (not just a fortunate few) With those thoughts in mind, I welcome your own thoughts and input on how to Create an Abundant World without all the wars, poverty, and general “sickness” seen in much of the world today.

Once again welcome to the Creating Abundance blog. I hope you find the information presented here valuable…and I look forward to your comments. Good luck on your own Abundant Life journey!

Till next time,

James Noyes
