MAGICAL KEYS CON'T
Let me tell you a little bit about myself... I was raised in a very rambunctious, noisy southern-Mediterranean family. Everyone figured that the more noise and drama there was, the better things would be! Worrying about everything was our primary amusement. So, there I was, an only child, living with my parents in a certifiably insane family surrounded by a dysfunctional extended family. “What a long strange trip it's been!” So, in my early teens I knew that if I didn't find a way to calm down and become less stressed out that I wouldn't live a very happy or long life, even though my grandfather lived to be 110. So, one day I decided to break out of the old mold… No longer wanting to live within the belief system my family had chosen, I went out looking for a way to become “sane.” Since it was in the Sixties, all kinds of gurus from the East were available with various forms of Meditation and Self-Mastery techniques. So, I began my search in fertile ground. Within a few years I had found a couple of techniques that suited me best and I was happily meditating and feeling a lot less stressed. I soon came to realize that there was a lot more to Meditation than just learning how to relax! Meditation is an incredibly profound system that helps you to totally change the way you view yourself and the world and, therefore, it radically impacts how you experience the world. Meditation is like an “owner’s manual” for your mind. It teaches you the importance of being aware of the workings of your mind and then helps you learn how to master your thoughts and feelings so you can actually become empowered to pick and choose what you experience in your life. In this book you will receive the “Keys” to Self-Mastery that I have gathered over the years. These keys have been transmitted over millennia. They have helped millions upon millions of people over the span of many centuries. You too can experience the “peace of mind” that is your birthright. There is no need to follow or subscribe to any particular form or school of Meditation or Self-Mastery. So in this book you will receive a diverse mix of tips and tools to help you to find the peace that “passeth all understanding.” Over the last twenty years of teaching meditation I have found that “not one size” or kind of meditation fits all. So, I have tailored my teachings to be as inclusive of as many traditions and techniques as possible. In this way, I can help as many people as possible to be touched by the beauty, simplicity, wisdom, love and “Grace” of Meditation, so that they can open up to its profound benefits on all levels of their life. But please be advised that this book is a lot more than a book about Meditation… Magical Keys is a primer on how to really live “The Good Life,” as Socrates urged us. Here you will learn how to be conscious and intentionally creative every moment of your life! “The life unexamined is not worth living.” Socrates You will learn what it means to live in the “Now” and “be present” for yourself and for others and, to be the “present” (i.e. gift) to the world that you are meant to be. Life is GOOD! Here you will learn how to identify and extract all the GOOD, GOODNESS and “GOD”NESS GOD(DESS)NESS that life has to offer!
Some “Keys” to Self-Mastery:
Let's be really, really clear about this. It is possible for you to gain Mastery of your life, thoughts and emotions.
When God(dess) was handing out the Meditation and Self-Mastery genes, believe me, she did not forget you! Years ago I definitely thought that she had forgotten me, but in no way had she. If I can do it, anyone CAN!
You, yes You can Create Miracles in Your Life!
All Change is an “inside job.”
Keep your face to the sunshine Many people over the years have come to me and said that they wanted to “change.” And each time I have responded to them by saying: “OK, so change!” They usually were taken aback by my response because they really did not want to change. They just wanted to have someone change them (i.e. to do it for them) so they did not have to do it themselves. Or they wanted someone else to change how they were acting towards them so that they would be more comfortable with them. But you can't get others to be the way you want them to be. They are going to be how they want to be. That’s a plain and simple fact. All of what you see “outside” of yourself is really only a reflection of what is going on “inside” you. ” It’s all about you and how you choose to interpret your experiences. It is about how you choose to give meaning to your experiences. The cup is either half-full or half-empty; you get to choose how you see it. It is all about what you choose to focus on. You get to see exactly what you choose to look at!
We don't see things as they are.
So, if you want to be happy: choose to be happy! Give up the old script that you can't be happy until…. And just get happy now! Choose to see the good and you will, like the successful gardener, be planting seeds of happiness that will in time blossom into fields of joy!
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Happiness is a thing to be practiced like a violin.
You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it. What are some of the benefits of the Magical Keys formula? In Magical Keys to Self-Mastery you will be taught how to gently, calmly and lovingly examine your life and your beliefs so that you can gracefully release all that is old, worn and stagnant and replace it with that which is joyful, freeing and loving. With a series of gentle, simple, easy to apply techniques you can find the joy, peace, love, prosperity and health that are your birthrights. You will learn:
The Seven Core Principles of Self-Mastery
Part I: “Listening” to an”other”
The cost for the “Magical Keys” is $16.95
Besides all that I mention above I have, as well, incorporated into the book as a bonus a 35 page Meditation booklet that includes the entire text of four extended Guided Meditations that are based on meditations that I have outlined in the book. These Guided Meditations will help you to best integrate and absorb the message of Magical Keys.
By practicing these full-length meditations or by just reading them to yourself, you will enter into the world of “peace and harmony.”* A world from which you can then manifest the miracles in your life that are there waiting for you. Life is meant to be “magical.” Claim the “magic” and the mystery of it all and then “live it!” I know that you will enjoy the process of just “being present” with your Self. It is definitely the best and only way to “be.”
Much Love and Many Blessings!
