MONTHLY UPDATE - JULY 2008

Happy July 4 th! View the scenes we saw from our upper deck on the fourth.

Americans Believe in God & Miracles

In the Birmingham News dated June 24, 2008, a Washington Post article written by Jacqueline L. Salmon states that most Americans believe angels and demons are active in the world. Eighty per cent of the population currently believe in miracles in our day and time, also. Ninety two percent of the population believes in God . It is very significant, I think, to find the world also believes in the power of demons along with the divine power of angels.

One of the most powerful tools to spiritual connection is through the subconscious mind with hypnosis being closely aligned to prayer. Just as some prayer can be specifically directed, hypnosis can be specifically directed to very specific symptoms. Positive suggestion hypnosis is hypnosis connected to divine energy and because of the speedy results many equate it to a miraculous tool of intervention for healing, habit change, mental programming change, and spiritual protection.

It has also been found that our minds relate to what it is exposed to on a day-to-day basis. We received a very divine email which shows the power of the Divine and it is miraculous to look at the power of God in nature. View the rainbow and allow this truly Beautiful experience to saturate your consciousness.

Remember the hummingbirds drinking nectar from a woman’s hands in an earlier monthly update, it has been proven that touching beautiful, miraculous energy can accomplish a peaceful, calming state of mind.

Right Brain - Left Brain Consciousness Test

Now that you have experienced the beauty of nature vicariously, we are going to connect you to an absolute way of seeing where your mind is at this time. I will tell you that all day today I had been doing left-brained work, and tonight I have verification that I am still in the left-brain even though we have just seen a beautiful fireworks show from our top deck on the mountain in Birmingham. I was aware while watching that my mind was still thinking of the left-brained information.

Usually, when I look at this test you are going to take , I am in my right- brain consciousness. Ed’s sister sent this wonderful test to us, and, if you will, go to it now and determine where your mind is at this time. You can come back to it often to determine if you stay in one mode of mind or move between left and right-brain consciousness. Click here to experience your test "Dancing Girl Turning".

So: now that you have seen where you are, if you want to move more into the right-brain consciousness lets do it with music and imagination. When you click to the offering coming up imagine that you have gone back in time by looking at the costumes and listen to the music.

Music, dance, exercise, meditation, prayer, and hypnosis are quick ways to access the right-brain consciousness.

Albert Einstein stated that his “miracles” did not come from his intellect. His insight and breakthroughs came from his right-brain consciousness. Click here "ABBA Dancing Queen" and listen to the music.

Then go back to the dancing girl to see how she is turning after a major dose of music and imagination. Regular hypnosis can help you move from left to right and back/forth as needed based on the most appropriate side of the brain for what is happening. Those who stay stuck in one side only all the time are living a “partial” life.

Our memory is important to our well-being and the dancing girl and the ABBA music brought back wonderful memories of a person who had learned to move left to right and back as needed:

Value of Developing Right - Left Brain Consciousness

My cousin, Bill, was bright in school and considered a good student even though he didn’t study much. He also was a professional-level golfer. He experienced a year of severe illness when he was sixteen . He had to stay in bed at home to recover from a kidney disease and undoubtedly coped by spending much time in right-brain consciousness.

When he got well, he dropped back to my class because I was a year younger. I tried to help make up for his year of pain by becoming more of a peer in high school. No matter the person I was dating, Bill and I would always dance, dance, and dance at teen gatherings because it was so much fun to dance with a really good dancer. I remember feeling a liberating feeling to dance with Bill. I now know we were in the right-side of our brain and endorphins were being released to give that feeling.

I also now know that he had developed a right-brain-left-brain consciousness because from his mind came a wonderful idea of how to shift his Dad’s Goodyear Tire business into a wholesale tire business. From that thought innovation, Bill made millionaires out of his entire immediate family.

This shows the phenomenal power of the mind which Einstein discussed in interviews. This consciousness is not something of which you can back off in the nurturing and still get the results. Bill’s gift probably came from that year of misery, confinement, and he moved his mind in a meditative, prayer state, staying in that state most of the year.

He then used his golf skills for business contacts, his extroversion to develop these contacts higher, a combination of his intellect coupled with his imagination, and moved into powerful manifestation.

If he had continued in this mode, leaving off smoking cigarettes and not getting into Type A work behavior, he would not have died at a young age from a sudden, unexpected, fatal, heart attack. All his family are reaping the rewards of his mind, but he is gone from their lives and mine.

So, it is a powerful reward to develop and continue to nurture the right-brain-left-brain consciousness and to stop smoking with hypnosis being one of the most powerful ways to stop smoking permanently.

By the way, I did a self hypnosis exercise while writing this and listened to the music. I just went back to the dancing girl test and I am now in my right-brain consciousness.

Weight Loss Hypnosis Success

We also received this month wonderful pictures of two members of our year- weight loss- program: Ginger and Chris Pennell on vacation.

You can view both their stories under our weight loss section to see the wonderful health experience they accomplished by losing weight and changing lifestyle. They also developed a healing machine that year and started a new lifestyle of eating. Click here and view them on vacation with pictures.

Then go to the weight loss stories and see them before they changed their lifestyle. Click "Ginger & Chris's Story" to see them before.

Like Pat Rickard they are now in left-brain-right-brain-consciousness. Her story is also on our website and we received many people calling after reading about her recent jumpstart back into health and well-being .

When the ability to move right to left at will is in effect then people develop inventions, get commercials when they just go with a friend to an interview (like Pat), and they get healthier living longer in a wonderful manner. We are very proud of the Pennells , Pat Rickard, and others mentioned over the year from that weight loss group.

Codependency is Dangerous & Progressive

One of the areas we worked on that year was co-dependency. Co-dependents are focused outside themselves with the emphasis on others putting themselves last on the list of life . Please click here to read an article we wrote during that year about the dire effects of living a co-dependent life.

Now that you have read the article, you can see that co-dependency is a quick ticket not only to weight gain, but also to health problems. When co-dependents come for sessions, they usually check many of the health issues on the back of the admission form. They somatize emotion into physical symptoms because they experience lots of adrenaline rush dealing with other’s problems. Their body stays in this adrenaline rush and health issues result with many emotional issues accompanying the physical symptoms. They usually have panic attacks with breathing problems to accompany the physical distress.

They exert so much effort for others you would think co-dependents are the most loved people on Planet Earth. Unfortunately, the opposite is what happens. People begin over time to expect this behavior from them and, at the same time, people resent the co-dependent. Co-dependents do not get positive strokes for their investment of self.

It is a fatal progression unless the subconscious programming is changed. Again, hypnosis is probably the best tool to release causes of co-dependency and regain self. Weight begins to melt when the co-dependent is relieved of the cortisol rush of constantly twirling in other’s stuff. They are quite amazed to find others can learn to take part in solving their own problems. When the co-dependent has the boundary setting skills to gear their life more around just their own problems, they begin to feel as if they have a good chance for a healthy, enjoyable life. Amazingly, others then respect them more, and the shift happens from negative strokes to receiving positive strokes.

Hope you will spend some time working on getting your dancing doll to move more towards right brain consciousness to assist with your life. After you do that, you will find that a process of moving quickly as needed between the two levels of consciousness will assist you in moving also into higher consciousness where you will access The Divine, miracles, and powerful solutions to problems.

Private sessions of hypnosis are powerful and choosing from our in-home CD selection can move you very quickly towards this consciousness of experiencing all parts of your mind.

I will give you other examples of this:

I have already discussed Bill’s idea which turned his family’s lives into total abundance. I mentioned Einstein attributing his discoveries to right brain consciousness.

Connecting to Higher Consciousness

We experience profound help often. Last month I went out on our porch to enjoy the early evening view at a wrought iron table on the side porch. Luckily, I went out by the side door.

A mockingbird came quickly and sat on the rail just “pitching a fit”. He got closer and closer to me with his bantering. I noticed he was looking to his right and to my left. I looked and there was a huge snake cooling himself on the cobblestone porch.

I pretty much lost it and ran inside looking through the cut glass of the front door. Sure enough the snake crawled slowly past to where I could see every detail. I ran to get my cell phone to call my husband. He came home quickly and no snake could be found.

Since the porch is very high up with lots of steps, he couldn’t figure out how the snake maneuvered the steps until he looked at the pile of wood from a recently cut tree. The stack of logs was right next to the steps.

I didn’t know it but Ed focused his thoughts on: I need to get that wood moved out of here. Our home was built on the last building lot on this part of Red Mountain, and beside us is a heavily wooded lot owned by a utility company as an easement.

My mind went to: those woods are probably harboring many snakes and those woods are right beside us.

Ed and I did not discuss our thoughts but we both had lots of emotion connected to our thoughts.

Well, this is what happened:

That wooded lot next door has been cleared, leaving only the tallest trees and clearing out all vines, etc. The city had the utility company pay for the clearing. No, we did not call or have any earthly involvement with this occurring.

Remember what Dr. Martin’s thoughts were:

“I have got to get those stacked logs moved.”

The workers were approached by Dr. Martin and for a reasonable (very reasonable) fee, they took the logs with them since they were contractors with the city and could also contract privately. The sum was minimal for the benefits involved.

This came about within two weeks and we are now enjoying our porch and the lot beside us . We no longer have a woodpile for snakes to climb next to the high steps.

Also, my thought of “the snakes are coming” is gone because we can see all ground on the large lot. (The workers also said they had not encountered snakes in the clearing of the land.)

It is the happening of connecting to that component of the Divine which produces miracles. Through this part of the mind, you will be alerted to dangers through people saying what their intentions are to you before you get involved with them, etc. Remember by “their fruits ye shall know them.”

It makes for a more pleasant and safer life guided by signs and symbols with Divine help. The key to it is connecting to Higher Consciousness through the right-brain consciousness. A fast method of accomplishing this is through the tool of positive suggestion hypnosis.

We hope you are living a wonder-filled life,

Cheryl Martin
