0 CommentsMeditation is often credited with helping people feel more focused and energetic, but are the benefits measurable? When researchers tested the alertness of volunteers, they found that the practice proved more effective than naps, exercise or caffeine.

Loading ...Absolute Pitch Power Lesson 2 Update/Improvement
September 23, 2006
0 CommentsI’ve espoused the virtues of accelerated learning techniques and I’m on record as saying that every other absolute pitch ear training course out there could be drastically improved if they only “got it.”
And while I don’t like to go “off topic” in my blog too much, I felt I had to, given the significance this information could have on your ear training and musicianship — let alone your entire life.
So one the basic premises of accelerated learning is that your brain is in a state of peak performance when it’s vibrating at a certain frequency. And different frequencies get different results.
There are natural ways to achieve these states, like through meditation, relaxation, and controlled breathing exercises. And there are other ways to induce these brain states, like bio-feedback, hypnosis, and…
Brain Wave Entrainment
Bio-feedback can get pretty expensive. You either visit a bio-feedback lab, or buy costly equipment that can read your vital statistics. But even then, you need to learn *how* to get into these altered states.
Hypnosis scares most people. Not only that, you either need to spend many hours learning how to use self-hypnosis or spend lots of money on a trained hypnotherapist.
But brain wave entrainment is simple and affordable. You simply pop in a CD and your brain will synchronize to the entrainment frequency.
Using binaural beats was all the rage for a while. Lots of people were selling binaural beat CDs and some audio editors would even create them for you. But new research has shown a technique called “Isochronic Tones” to be even better.
Well, being into accelerated learning and brain/mind research, I was blown away when I got an email from one of my trusted mentors, Stephen Pierce. Whenever he sends me an email, I drop everything and read it. But this one got me more excited than usual.
I could repeat everything he said, but I’ll just let you find out for yourself why I’m so excited about Optimindzation. And, why I think it’s going to be an indispensable tool to you, the musician.
Believe me, this changes everything. Find out more here: Optimindzation

September 19, 2006
22 CommentsYour most precious resource is your mind. Your ability to think, plan, decide, and take action is the most powerful force for good in your life. Make a commitment to yourself to take complete responsibility for your mind. Exercise MIND CONTROL.
- Manage Your State of Mind in All Situations
Control your internal representations (pictures, words, sounds, emotions) and control your physiology.
- Manage Other People’s State of Mind
Control other people’s internal representations and physiology.
- Gather, Manage and Implement Intelligence
Ask questions to elicit values, beliefs, feelings and other information from the people in your life.
- Network Your Way To the Top
Controlling the minds that control other minds leverages your MIND CONTROL power.
- Be a MIND CONTROL Hunter
The MIND CONTROL hunter doesn’t wait for opportunity to come to them. Hunters go the extra mile and are always searching for opportunity.
- Build Credibility
Have confidence with what you have to offer and be first to offer the key drawback of your products or services.
- Develop a Sense of Fascination
Decide that you will learn everything that people are willing to share. Other people’s interests become your new areas of fascination and curiosity.
- Change the Frame
Reframing is taking lemons and making lemonade. The “what if” frame takes the form of, “What if you were successful at selling, how would you feel?” Preframing involves handling any problems that are likely to come up in advance. Deframing is a linguistic tool that may used on prospects who definitely want your products or services. Simply make it explicitly clear that you will move on and allow others to take advantage of your products and services if they don’t act by X.
- Uncover Conditions to Confirmation
If you sense a professional prospect has a condition to confirmation, simply ask, “Is there something I’m missing, that I should know about that is causing you to wonder about this product or service?” If they respond with a concern, address it and let them buy. If they respond with a condition, don’t let them buy. There will be another day for you both.
- Know When to Ask for the Sale
Ask for the sale the moment the prospect wants to buy and not a second later.

September 15, 2006
3 CommentsImage streaming is the exact technique used by geniuses such as Einstein, Edison and Tesla. Not only will image streaming enhance your creativity, it will actually increase your IQ!
Image streaming is your doorway to the subconscious mind. This stream-of-consciousness visualization technique delivers spontaneously-generated thoughts directly from the subconscious mind as an answer or solution to a problem or simply to see what comes up. The image streaming process is especially useful for composing.
Here are the steps to image streaming:
- Breathe deeply and progressively relax your entire body from head to toe.
- Close your eyes and describe images aloud to either a live person or to a tape recorder. This step is important because describing images aloud and having a live recipient of those images creates a feedback loop which makes the connection from the subconscious to the conscious even stronger.
- You must use all senses in your descriptions: Sight, sound, touch, smell and taste.
- Describe in the present tense and don’t hesitate, stop or edit.
That’s all there is to it. It’s always the simple things that make the most impact to your life.
Here’s a couple of exercises to get you going:
- Just describe anything. Take a good look at any object close by, close your eyes and start describing it. This will get you acquainted with the image streaming process.
- Take a problem that you need a solution to, such as a new and improved opening song for your band’s set or the form of a new song you’re writing, and allow the images to spontaneously come. Let your mind take you in whatever direction it wants. Soon, you will have an extremely creative idea fall right into your lap.
As I said earlier, there’s evidence that image streaming increases your IQ by .8 with every hour practiced! Some other benefits of image streaming includes increased memory, better brain health, enriched experience, build your power of understanding and increased self-esteem. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

August 23, 2006
0 CommentsA neuroscientist explains why women want rock stars to father their children, and how melodies can work like Prozac.
This looks like a good book: This Is Your Brain On Music. I always get nervous, though, when scientists try to reduce everything to “The Brain.” There’s obviously a lot more going on in the universe than just biology.
