Kundalini is a practice of yoga that most people can only aspire to get to. It is something that is so intense that some gurus even struggle to get there. The biggest benefits that come from kundalini are an increased state of tranquility, completely balanced chakras, and the ability to maintain the different aspects of yoga. While you really need to do most of the work yourself, the tips and tricks which are outlined in this book will give you a great start.

Every human being is different - but not so different that you can’t puzzle out what makes them tick, if you know how to look. Science has drilled human personality down to a fine point, identifying the clear categories we each fall into and what drives and motivates each one of us. Using this as your basis, you will learn to read every person who crosses your path like an open book, giving you the advantage in every encounter.

Every time you're hurt, disappointed, depressed, or angry, what do you do with all that negative energy? Well, you could choose to bury it and pretend that everything is fine, you could decide to wallow in it and have yourself a good three-week pity party, or you could choose to practice reiki. Practicing reiki is less expensive than counseling with a therapist and a lot more effective. Reiki enables you to open and balance the energy channels in your body called chakras and rid yourself of the impact of all that negative.

Chakras: The Full Collection of Secrets, Exercises, and Techniques is the ultimate chakra book for the dedicated practitioner. The chakras are powerful tools for balancing your health and happiness. These seven power centers, called the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, brow, and crown chakras, hold the energies of the body and help you connect with yourself and the world. They must be activated and open in order for you to live a happy, healthy life.

This book is a self-reflection exercise designed to help listeners overcome challenging problems through the use of specific problem solving techniques. In the introduction we learn about decision-making strategies that work in situations of uncertainty and we learn scenario planning - a technique invented in the 1960s for the US Dept. of Defense, later adapted for use in the private sector.

Lives can suddenly be sent crashing down when images, conversations, smells, or sounds begin to remind us of something that is now associated with a traumatic event of that time. Emotional trauma increases the feeling of shame inflicted many years ago. Families hid it and never spoke about it, fearing that the trauma would shed disgraceful light on the survivor - the syndrome of "we don’t air our dirty laundry”.

The normal human way of doing things is rife with inefficiencies. It means starting a new writing project and blankly staring at your screen, waiting for inspiration to hit you. It means reading books at such a slow pace that you never have time to finish them in your busy schedule. It means having a capricious mind that jumps from one distraction to the next, stifling your ability to learn and retain information. To become superhuman is to achieve superhuman memory, reading, and writing skills.

Technique Builder Exercises Plus, book six in the series, is made up of a technique builder and bonus material. The technique builder is comprised of two contrasting parts: a slow and a fast approach. Part one reviews earlier material, taking a slower approach to basic intonation, and the pronunciation of glides and shortened blocks. Part two of the technique builder also reviews earlier material, but takes a faster approach, revisiting both pronunciation and intonation, with a focus on allowing technique to become fully integrated into the body.

Forget the Technique; Just Speak - The Final Drills from Slow to Sprint focuses purely on drilling. The drill starts with single letters and expands gradually into very long words. The exact same set of letters and words is repeated three times at increasing speeds - slow, very fast, and sprint. In moving to the next level and fully incorporating this technique into our speaking, we want to, in a sense, “forget the technique” and just speak freely. If you run into trouble in any areas with any particular sounds, you can always go back to the technique.
