The Unexplainable Store Review - Do The Brainwave Recordings Work | Rela...
If you suffer from anxiety, you know how unpleasant it is to be constantly dealing with thoughts of worry and fear. You're not alone - chronic anxiety is a growing problem in today's stressful society, but there is no reason to resign yourself to feeling like this. As many people are discovering, meditation can be a very effective anxiety relief method. So if you want to learn to relieve your anxiety naturally, read on for more information.
Meditation basically involves quieting the mind by focusing your thoughts. By doing this, you can gain some respite from the constant swirl of worries within your mind. The object of your focus varies, according to the meditation method that you're using. Let's take a look at three popular meditation techniques that can be effective for anxiety reduction.
1. Breathing Meditation
Perhaps the simplest type of meditation is to put all of your focus on your breath. This involves paying attention to your breath as it enters and leaves your body. You might focus on your nostrils, feeling the breath as it enters and leaves. Or you might follow your breath down into your lungs and out again.
Either way, you'll find that your breathing naturally slows, and both your mind and body will eventually become deeply relaxed. Breathing meditation is an excellent method because it requires no special equipment and you can do it any time. However, if you're new to meditation you might find it difficult to keep your attention on your breath at first, and it may take some practice before you reap the full benefits.
2. Guided Meditation
Guided meditation involves listening to a recording which features vocal cues that guide you through a sequence of visualisations. The types of imagery used in guided meditations vary dramatically, although they often involve relaxing scenarios and landscapes, such as when you take a mental trip to the beach or a walk in the forest.
In the case of guided meditations for anxiety relief, you might specifically and visualise yourself as being free from anxiety, particularly in situations which would normally trigger worrisome thoughts.
Guided meditations are often enhanced by the use of music or relaxing sound effects such as running water. You can also create your own guided meditation scripts to record yourself.
3. Brainwave Entrainment Recordings For Anxiety Reduction
Guided meditations are often easier to focus on than breathing meditation, especially for beginners. However many people still find that their minds wander and it's difficult to fully switch off their anxious thoughts. The third meditation method that we'll look at here, brainwave entrainment, is especially good for those who have trouble switching off.
Brainwave entrainment meditation involves listening to a specially designed recording that features rapidly repeating sound pulses of specific frequencies. The brain has a natural tendency to match its own brainwaves to the frequency of the sounds it is hearing - this is called the 'frequency following response'.
This is very useful, because different states of consciousness are linked with the production of brainwaves of specific frequencies. Meditation for anxiety relief is most effective when you can enter a very deeply relaxed state, where your brain waves slow right down. It can be hard to achieve this level of relaxation if you're not used to meditating, but with the use of a specially designed brainwave recording it becomes much easier.
There are three types of brainwave meditation recordings: binaural beats, isochronic tones and monaural beats. All three work very well, although many people find that isochronic tones of the most effective.
If you decide to use meditation as a way of reducing anxiety, I recommend using a brainwave entrainment recording, especially if you find it hard to focus on while using other methods.

Butterfly : Mystery of Transformation
We chose butterflies for the logos and branding for Fresh Beginnings Personal Development Company and Coralie's Book I've Been There...A Testimony of Hope.
They represent transformational change from the inside out and these graphics and video illustrate the metamorphases that everyone goes through during stages of their evolution.
Beautiful video and butterfly quotes about butterflies the logo for Fresh Beginnings
In a variety of religions and spiritual paths there are many where wildlife and nature is interwoven into the teachings. This earth housed animals and nature long before we were here or even existed.
Animals know more about survival and adapting than humans do, having survived "the end of world" time and time again. The knowledge we have gained from every species is unfathomable. So in due respect, each animal holds a special meaning, and many people have a special bond with a certain animal.
Butterfly is a known for transition and change, symbolizing our soul. A butterfly's life span is about a month, and in that short amount of time they go from a caterpillar to a Butterfly. The butterfly spends its entire life changing and adapting. It first learns how to crawl, and then it learns how to fly.
It is said; when a butterfly crosses your path your life is going to change.
It may be the simplest change, or a monumental change.... but it is there to let you know that you are transitioning. Butterflies are beautiful; they enjoy everything beautiful in the world. They flutter on the slightest breezes and they live off of flowers and plants. When you see a butterfly, it is a reminder to enjoy the smallest things. To remember that life is short and yet filled with beauty.

Let Go...Surrender...Be in the Now
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
-- Havelock Ellis
I've'Been There...A Testimony of Hope has a lot of recurring themes about being able to let go. I am going through another phase of that as I get closer to the launch date of the book with each passing day. There has been a lot of time, energy, revisiting and releasing each time I have editing the book and re-read it. When I think of handing it over to the publisher and then giving it over to Source to outwork where it goes from that point it is also calling me to "let go and let God/Goddess" take it where its meant to go.
Letting is one of the hardest lessons in life. In life, there's many things that we have to learn to let go. We have to let go of situations, things, memories, people and even ourselves.
It's easy to form an attachment to people and things. When you've formed an attachment to people and things, it can be a very painful experience and feeling when you realized that it's time to let go. Even the mere thought of not having that person or thing in your life just squeezes your heart in pain. However, there are times where you or that person has changed to the extent that it's necessary to let go of the relationship or friendship, so that each of you can fulfill your life path.
Letting go of your past and memories are also extremely hard. Even though old memories can be tormenting, yet you might hold on to the past and refuse to move forward. However, by refusing to let go of the painful past, it'll serve as a roadblock to love. Releasing the old self and the process of letting the new emerge can be one of the scariest experiences in your life. But by leaving behind your old self and taking a leap of faith into the unknown, it might just reveal what you are truly capable of becoming. With the depth of what we share at Fresh Beginnings I know that each of us are varying stages of having to change things we may be reluctant to do...or let go of people and events that are no longer healthy. I wanted to share these ideas with you as I finish up the final edits and prepare to let the book go to its natural completion.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
-- Lao Tzu
Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?

Standing up for what you believe
If you have ever been the only one in a large group, say a class in high school, to defend someone or something that you know is wrong, then you are what we consider a hero. Standing up for what you believe in at all times is not only one of the most admirable traits a person can possess, but is also ultimately one of the most self fulfilling ones. Standing up for what you believe in requires a great amount of courage first and foremost, but also requires a person to be knowledgeable on the subject that they are standing up for.
Many times when we may be standing up for a belief, idea or opinion the belief we share may not be the most popular belief and will require us to be relentless in our approach, unwavering despite whatever the consequences may be. Doing what's right requires a person with a strong heart, so if you know you will compromise easily with your opposition, you may not want to try. Remember to always go with your gut, when you see something that you feel is absolutely wrong, do what your conscience is telling you that you should do, you never know who or what you may be helping!
We are not here to fit in at any cost. We are being called to break free of old patterns, delusions and conditioned existence. As we transform your inner world and heighten awareness it creates a ripple effect that inspires other people to break free old ties that used to bind. Within our personal and professional experience we believe this applies to many who are transforming and awakening to broader perspectives on life, spirituality and heightened awareness about the importance of living life on our own terms in self-accountable ways that do not cause harm to others.

I urge you to listen to this song and read the lyrics I've posted below. The song is called, "FREE" and it's sung by Elliott Yamin, 3rd place winner on American Idol 2 seasons ago. He's a phenomenal musician, and I LOVE THIS SONG.
Now that fear is out of the way
I'm starting to see myself so clear
Like a light shining into the night
Everybody has a day
When they're criticized for something
But hold on to what you believe
Tell me what you're hiding from
Everybody's on the run
Movin' so fast got to slow it down and breathe
Hold fast to your dreams
And don't be afraid to fly
Alone in the sky
When you do then
You'll be free
Nothing's impossible
Free (alright,alright)
You've achieved the unexplainable
Free
I believe that miracles
Happen to those
Who refuse to be told
They can happen when we least expect
So we let ourselves be free
Mmmmm
Mmm
Every chance that we take
Is one less mistake we can make
Sometimes are blessings are in disguise
Look beyond what they say
It don't really matter what they see
As long as you can believe
Tell me what you're hiding from
Everybody's on the run
Moving so fast got to slow it down and breathe
Hold fast to your dreams
And don't be afraid to fly
Alone in the sky
When you do then
You'll be free
Nothing's impossible
Free (alright, alright)
You've achieved the unexplainable
Free
I believe that miracles
Happen to those
Who refuse to be told
They can happen when we least expect
So we let ourselves be free
Oh oh
It's difficult to hold on
So easy to let go
And take the road that's least resistent
But you gotta be persistent
(I) leading them to follow
(I) don't wait for tomorrow
(I) got to do it today
Yeah
Free
Nothing's impossible
Free (alrgiht, alright)
You've achieved the unexplainable
Free
I believe that miracles
Happen to those
Who refuse to be told
They can happen when we least expect
So we let ourselves be free
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Mmmm
The Power to Change the World
Each of us has the power to change the world. Our unique talents, gifts, strengths and pure potential all combine to make us who we are as a part of the whole. In this excerpt from the book by Harold W. Becker, Unconditional Love -- An Unlimited Way of Being, he shares that when we act from the wisdom of our heart, we place our self in the perfect place to affect change. We begin with a selfless act by acknowledging and accepting ourselves. We release and detach the old and outmoded fears, guilt, worry and doubt and in turn generate the unconditional love from within. This love is felt by all the people, places and things around us. We can follow our dreams and fulfill our destiny. Smile and the world smiles with you, laugh and all humanity laughs too. For more, go to www.thelovefoundation.com
