Volunteering
"Of this I am certain. The only ones among you who will be
truly happy are those who have sought and found how to serve."
Albert Schweitzer
Help others daily/weekly. This can be done by simply
encouraging them to be all they can be -- volunteer the
positive. Use three hours a week to volunteer at church, or some
other community organization for those in need. See your Self in
everyone, especially in the poorest of the poor or as the
Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu says, "The wise accept all people
as their own family."
While the famous Farmworker-activist, Cesar Chavez chides us
with, "It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do
we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the
strongest act of humanity, is to sacrifice ourselves for others
in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice. To be human is to
suffer for others. God help us to be human."
Buddy System and Teamwork
Choose a friend, schoolmate or colleague to be a buddy: a
person who will call or see you each day to find out how you are
doing with practicing and applying the Techniques for Improving.
These should be totally supportive and encouraging
meetings/communications. Sharing in a friendly manner the
attempts to achieve and the achievements. "The best way to cheer
yourself is to try to cheer somebody else up," said Mark Twain.
Select a small group of no more than 7 people who will meet
at least once a month -- preferably four times a month. Do the
same things as you do with your buddy and have a great time
doing some good and fun things together, like a volunteer
project of sprouting, nurturing, and planting trees in your
community or going to a fun place. For "As you sow, so shall you
reap."
High Technology
Brain research has shown that using sound phasing for brain
synchrony will adjust the brain waves to deeper states down to
the delta wave pattern. This can open the sub-consciousness for
repatterning. Biofeedback, Alpha Chambers, Alpha Stims., and
Winning Ways Sychronicity Soundtrack all work for healing, peak
performance states of mind, and stress management.
