Mike Brescia and “Tranquil Sleep Now”–Your Best Night’s Sleep Ever

Just a quick note as Mike Brescia of ThinkRightNow.com is about to launch his “Tranquil Sleep Now” program with many bonuses in the morning.

I’ve had the chance to sample the program, and love how it provides a total drug-less solution to restoring healthy sleep.  The nights I’ve used it so far, I’ve consistently noticed, even the first time, that I was able to awaken earlier with more energy than before.

You can read all about it, as well as other’s experiences, right here.

Enjoy, and let me and others in our online community know your own experiences with this or any other solutions that you’ve found particularly helpful in the comments below.

I look forward to hearing from you!

SuperFood List, Mark Victor Hansen, and “MEGA Youngevity”

Mark Victor Hansen (of Chicken Soup For the Soul fame) has
just posted a great list of Superfoods in preparation for the
MEGA Youngevity” online seminar he’s about to host.

You may already know about many of these, but Mark’s put these
together in a great summary format that I thought you’d enjoy.

And here’s my challenge to you:

Pick one of these that you wouldn’t otherwise have eaten this week…

Picture yourself picking it up at the store, from a friend, or
ordering it online…

Then picture yourself enjoying it…

And then go do it…

And let me know your own experiences in the comments below.

You may even want to print out this list and keep it in your kitchen
or by your shopping list.

Oh, and be sure to check out Mark’s unique webcast, MEGA Youngevity.
I understand that Art Linkletter has just joined the faculty!

“Digging the Well” and Personal Transformation

Met some business partners for breakfast at Panera this morning including David, formerly an acquaintance from church who introduced me a few years ago to the whole world of entrepreneurship and the business team that led to my working from home.

David just sent me an email letting me know about his blog with a great title, Digging the Well (you can learn more about the title in “About“), and I just read his latest article on “Identity Transformation” that was so insightful, I wanted to share it with you here.

It will just take 2-3 minutes to read, but the keys it will give you to gently create change in any area of your life are profound…

Just click the title above, and enjoy!

Reprogramming Your DNA

What if you could “reprogram” your DNA…and thereby your
very cells themselves?

In 2004, the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know” illustrated the
possibility that repetitive negative thoughts triggering
repetitive negative emotions could so bathe our cells in
certain hormones and neurotransmitters that the cells themselves
would actually shift their receptors—–what they were “tuned”
to respond to—–to such a degree that they became “addicted”
to those emotions and no longer responsive to basic nutrients…

Now more and more research from different sources—–particularly
quantum physics,  medicine,  spiritual traditions, and even
understanding of how computers and the internet work—–are
suggesting profound connections in how our words and language,
our thoughts, and our feelings can affect our cells all the way
down to our DNA…and even the world around us.

This is too “big” a topic to go into in depth today.

For now, just recognize that what you’re thinking and feeling
on a repetitive basis could have a profound affect on your
physical experience…and on your cells.

So practice choosing “good” thoughts—–thoughts that feel good.

Or as Joel Osteen recently said, “Expect Good Things”–—a phrase
I now have written on my mirror in blue dry-erase marker so I
see it frequently as I continue to “reprogram” my own brain and
the patterns in my body.

To your ever-increasing wellness and joy,

Dr. Ben

Can you change?

This weekend a brief research report in MIT’s Technology
Review
caught my attention.  The report described how mature
rat skin cells had been signaled via genes to “revert” back
to undifferentiated stem cells, and then researchers were able
to signal them further to transform into brain cells (neurons)
and to actually improve Parkinson’s-like symptoms in the rats.

What’s so amazing about this report is that the laboratory has
now demonstrated that cells we formerly thought were “fixed”
can completely transform—–seemingly without limit.

We used to think that once a cell had become “differentiated”—
e.g., skin, nerve, muscle, etc., that it’s “future” was then set,
and that it couldn’t change other than within certain very
limited parameters for that particular type of cell.

Now we’re seeing that at the very level of individual cells,
even a “mature”, differentiated cell can be “signaled” to transform
back to an “originator” state where any path is possible, and
then further signaled to become an entirely different type of cell.

Now, what does this mean for you?

How many of you feel “too old” or “too set” or that it’s “too late”
for you to change?

Maybe you’ve been given a diagnosis that’s distressing you…
maybe you feel you’ve missed out on what’s really important to
you over that past decades, or maybe you wish you had more energy,
more passion, more purpose, were more successful, or more out-going,
but that that’s just “not you,” at least “not anymore…”

Well, this report on cells suggests that you indeed may be a certain
way right now, BUT…

even though you may not yet know HOW…

It is indeed possible for you to change…

“Anything is possible…”

Hmm…

Sounds like something I’ve heard before…

Something that requires faith…

That requires my willingness to let go of the way things seem to be
right now, and to open the door to possibility…

How might that change things for you today?

Your friend and partner in health,

Dr. Ben

P.S.  Next we’ll talk about some of the “signals” you may be giving
yourself that are either keeping you the same…or allowing you to change…

If you’re ready to address your own “signals” and shift them “on purpose”
together one-on-one, call 1-888-909-6601 to schedule a personal
consultation and get on the waiting list for one of my monthly coaching
spots.
