How to meditate?
Hi Everyone,
Yet another wonderful day in Winnipeg, MB. It is 30C outside. So what me and my wife will do is to go up to Beasejour to our in-laws for a Tubing party. That means that the whole family jumps onto rubber tubes further up the river and then we flow down and relax down the river :D
I came by this great information yesterday! You`ll have to take a look at it. I am going to use it!
Asking someone, “How do you meditate?” is like asking, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” There are many, many different ways—all of which come easier with practice. Here I will briefly discuss some of the most common meditation techniques. Try them all and figure out what works best for you.
The most important element of basically any meditation style is breathing. You will breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, hold it for just an instant at the pinnacle, then as slowly as possible release the breath out your mouth, compressing your stomach down to push the air out of your chest cavity.
Another key element to any type of meditation is focus. Naturally our minds only hold thoughts for a second or two and then they move on—we are easily distracted. Meditation is only effective when we can block out our mental fluttering. This is definitely a learned skill that gets easier with practice.
A few more meditation tips I can pass along are to make it a routine. Set aside a certain time each day to meditate—put it on your schedule if you have to. Have a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Remove any distractions from the area (such as silencing your cell phone and putting your dog in the backyard). Sometimes it’s nice to have a CD of relaxing music or nature sounds playing. This can trigger to your brain that it’s time to get in meditation mode.
As far as specific meditation techniques, I recommend these four: the stillness, the flow, the centering, and the void.
Let me explain the techniques:
THE STILLNESS
This popular technique involves focusing your vision on a single point until you get the infamous blank stare (or if your eyes are closed, a sort of internal space out). You might stare at a spot on a wall, a candle flame, or a religious or spiritual object. You can also focus on something auditory like chanting or a bell chime.
THE FLOW
This meditation technique is very much like the one listed above except that you will focus on an object in motion—such as a water fall, your own breathing, or something auditory like drumming.
THE CENTERING
This technique takes many different forms but ultimately aims to heighten your awareness of your place in the world. Centering meditation can be either outer (real) or inner (imagined) but the intent is to anchor your perspective in the center of a vivid image in which even the smallest detail is noted. With this technique, you will get into your meditation space then allow yourself to let in an outside noise or thought. This can be a great technique for beginners because of this (if you find it hard to quiet your mind and concentrate). By responding to “distractions” by absorbing yourself in them and therefore dismantling them, you take their power away.
THE VOID
This technique is sort of the antithesis of the three listed above. Like the name suggests, here you will think about nothing. You will have no focal point. You could think of focusing on “the blankness” or “the stillness,” but nevertheless the void meditation is about the complete absence of any internal or external focus. It can be quite challenging but very rewarding and relaxing.
Have a wonderful day everyone. Lets go out there and get more focus with starting to meditate. You now know how. Lets do it.

Materialism vs. Minimalism
I have just come back from a wonderful and relaxing vacation at Hecla Oasis and Resort in Manitoba. It is so beautiful up there and there is not too many people up there to be in a dense resort.
The day after we had breakfast and after that we went to one of Manitoba`s fines golf courses to play a round. Me and my wife are really mediocre golf players, but the view!!!! What a beautiful golf course right out towards the lake! Beautiful and full of animal life and beauty. That truly makes up for a 34 over par :)
See a lot of people don`t want to pamper themselves every now and then. They stay as cheap as possible. But to go for Materialism you can`t be cheap all the time and want to minimize the cost as much as possible.
I have been on a lot of vacations with Quinn, but almost all of the times we gave eachother a little extra to really get a feel for luxury. You need that when you want to go for it.
You need to experience a little of where you want to go to get the taste of where you want to go.
I have also been to Phoenix Arizona for a convention. I went there alone stayed at the convention for the weekend and after that I took 3 days off to relax at the 5 star resort I stayed at. I then said to myself "It will cost me a fair amount of money to go to the Grand Canyons to go and see them, but just do it give yourself a little treat for being in this business. I took a great private guided tour with 4 other people up there. When we came there they asked if anyone would like to take a helicopter trip over the GC. Everybody said it will be cheaper and better to just see the Grand Canyon. I said to myself. You might only going to be here once in a lifetime. Give yourself a real treat. I have flown helicopter before so I were not afraid of it. I remember we took off. Flew over the three tops and suddenly the Canyon`s in a magical way reviled itself in front of us. I can possible describe that overwhelmed feeling I got. I felt spiritual like that there were something greater around me. That experience were well used money, but it was expensive :) But again I treated myself because you are only living once in your life!!!!
Too many just stay with the mainstream and don`t dear to go all the way. You need that sometimes espesially when you want to be able to do those kind of retreats more often in the future.
"YOU DESERVE TO GIVE YOURSELF THAT LITTLE EXTRA SOMETIMES." John Thore. It will give you a huge advantage in the long run.
Make sure that you get those magical moments.
I want to share a picture with you from a trip me and my wife took to Tunisia in Africa. It is a magical picture from a five star resort in the Sahara desert!

Think outside of the box
- Say "How can I do or fix or what needs to be done." Instead of I cant and hoping for someone to find a solution to the problem.
- Think "What and who can I get together with to find a solution for the "PROBLEM"?" Instead of trying to go all by yourself. The more people you are the faster you can get a solution.
- Think opposite of everyone else. Become positive. If people are going to end up in misery. Do the total opposite of them. Start to become someone that does a lot of things that no one would dear to do!
- Look for ways to change yourself in the right direction. Always.
- Read books by great thinkers and achievers. Learn fro other peoples faults.
- Brainstorm with yourself. The best would be if you can get together with a lot of others that thinks the way you do and brainstorm together.
- Educate yourself. Get mentors! They are available for as little as $20 and up. Read their books!!
- Constantly think how.
- Visualize where you want to go.
- Be positive and network with other people.
- Start hanging out with people that goes in the same direction as you want to go!
- Remember doors can open every day, several times a day. Werther you see the doors or not is up to the thoughts and beliefs described above.

Seeing is believing
- You have put down a lot of your goals and dreams. Now is the time to use those.
- From that: Gather all of your supplies: (Think scrapbook materials). Photos, Magazines, glue, scissors, catalogs, markers, poster board or any other item you would like to use. Remember you can be as creative as you want to be here.
- Cut out pictures: From magazines that represent your dreams and desires. I printed our tons of pictures online. Which is another great resource for pictures.
- Glue images to the poster board: You can organize by theme-health, travel, relationship, wealth or make it a random collage. Think about how you want your life to look a year from now. Be sure not to include images that don`t feel right. Focus on your top five desires.
- Add your finishing touches: Highlight your most important image, paint, draw or include inspiring words about who you are and who you strive to become. Find a happy photo of yourself and add it to the board.
- Hang your board where it can be a daily vision of where you are headed.

Love yourself before you can have success
Wow this just keeps getting better yet another wonderful day in my life. I can`t say enough how thankful I am for getting to be me and be able to meet great people and awesome opportunities.
Today the weather is wonderful again. Beautiful and Sunny Manitoba. You gotta be here :)
Today I want to talk about why you have to love yourself as a person before you can start working on goals and dreams.
Let me give you a quick inside look on how I started out before I took a look at personal development.
For 4 years ago I had no clue what personal development was what so ever. I did`nt know it existed. At that time I were 22 and I were deep down in an ongoing down spiraling relationship. I where really in a deep depression, so deep that I considered that this is it! I don`t want to take part of life anymore. You probably know what I mean by that. I had no self esteem, my ex-girlfriend where a very toxic person and I were caught up in her and became more and more like her.
Calls in the middle of the night saying I am taking my life now. You better come over or else I will do it. It really were bad. I just got caught up in the believes, thoughts and actions that brought me deeper and deeper into depression and madness. I started to accept where I was at and though that I should do the same as her to get back at her.
Long story short with that. I remember I had a complete breakdown and I remember my dads great words that pulled me up and out of the relationship. He said "John I really love you and wand you to be happy, but if you continue like this you will destroy yourself. I don`t want to see that! Get out of the relationship now! If you don`t I cant help you, but if you do I promise you that you will be a very happy person and that your life will become so much better". I definitely needed those words.
I got out of the toxic relationship and right after it I went to the military for a year. It was really perfect timing. I got to really have a year to completely get away and relax my brain. At that time I also started with my business so I learned that to have success in all of life you need to grow as a person on a personal level and you need to start thinking positive.
I remember the first months in the military. I were very out of shape and did`nt really thrive in the very physically fit surroundings. I were about to quit when I sat down with my self and said. If I want to be successful on a personal fitness I have to just do the necessary things to get where I wanted.
I committed myself to work out every single day. 7 days a week. And in a couple of months it really showed off. I felt more energized and were positive about life and everything.
I started to have fun in life and got excited about life. At the same time as I told you about I started to look for my life partner. I told you all the story so I don`t need to tell it again.
To tell you a little about before all everything happened I got heckled at school for 13 years. I thought that I were an idiot and I had super low self esteem. I used to at the end of my school days to just stay at home as much as possible to not have to be at school where I knew that they would heckle me! Well if I knew what I knew now things would have been very different at school, but that was the way it was. So let me tell you about how my life started to get really interesting.
I remember when I were in the military I took a week off to go to a something called a Mastermind seminar in the middle of nowhere away from civilization. There I finally learned that by thinking positive thoughts about myself I would start to love myself.
A suggestion of mine to really start appreciating the great being you are is an exercise:
Ok. This might be very weird for you the first time you do it, but it is the one and single most powerful exercise to do.
- Stand in front of the mirror
- Take of all your clothes
- First let your mind talk to you
- It might say: OMG my body is so horrible, My boobs are too small, my but is not there, My nose is crocked, My face is full of freckles, The color of my body is not brown enough, I am fat, I am bold, I have grey hair.
- STOP there right now!!!!!
- OK. Here is the exercise
- Look at your self
- Say "I am sexy, I am hot I am everything or not" If you don`t want to say that.
- Simply say " What I beautiful body I got! I enjoy being in my body and love myself. I look awesome and I am the creation of success." "I am grateful for who I am"
- This will be very hard for those of you that have the thoughts above and don`t like yourself at all and are unhappy about yourself. But, I promise you after a while. You want even care about what you thought were ugly about yourself.
- Do this every morning for a week.
- After that do it every day. It will start to become fun and you will really enjoy being who you are!!!

How to easily impact the world around you in a positive way
Just got up today. Full of energy and ready to take advantage of all of the opportunities coming my way today and meet a lot of new and interesting people.
Today I wanted to touch by a very simple, but also very powerful way of living your life positively and also impact hundreds of thousands people that you meet every month.
I am going to go through some very simple things you can do to impact the world around you in a great way.
Ok. How can you possibly be able to impact that many people????
Very easy. The first thing you can do is to smile to every single person you cross paths with. Meet on the street, when you buy groceries, at work and all of your family and friends. A smile can change that persons day from a depressed day to a day where he says to himself "Wow I had a person smiling to me :)". It is the simplest form of showing that you are grateful for that person being alive.
Another very simple thing you can do is to hold a door for a person. You will help them get in to wherever with them thinking that that person is a great guy or gal helping me and making my life just a little easier today.
