Do you know that the “Quantum Mind Power” program
is probably one of the most effective mind
programming tools you can ever find?
As what the bestselling author Dr. Robert Anthony
would say “…it makes the other ‘mind
conditioning’ programs obsolete.”
Why is it so? Let’s take a deep look at the
EXCLUSIVE powerful technology behind–The Morry
Method.
“The Morry Method” is a new brainwave entrainment
technology originated by the creator of the
“Quantum Mind Power” program, Morry Zelcovitch.
Morry has been in this field of brainwave
entrainment for more than 15 years. He is one of
the few persons in the world who can claim to be
a “certified Brainwave Entrainment
Engineer/Specialist”. He is also a student of the
world leading brainwave entrainment researcher–
David Siever.
He has tried every one of the brainwave
entrainment product he can get his hands on, but
with little success. The effects that these
products have created are all temporary.
Therefore, he decided to create something that
produce REAL and PERMANENT results. After years
of research and testing, “Quantum Mind Power”
program was born.
And the exclusive technology that morry used to
create this program has been termed as “The Morry
Method”.
So what’s the difference between “The Morry
Method” and other brainwave entrainment technolgies
that are available on the market?
Almost every one of the brainwave entrainment
product, at the point of release of QMP, uses a
brainwave simulation pattern called- Binaural.
Dr. Gerald Oster, is generally recognized as the
man to bring binaurals to popularity.
In a 1973 issue of Scientific American, Dr.
Gerald Oster examined how combining 2 pure tones
resulted in a rhythmic beat which he called
Binaural and Monaural Beats. In comparing
Binaural beats against Monaural beats, Oster
noted that Monaural beats were shown to elicit
extremely strong cortical responses, which is the
electrical activity responsible for entrainment.
Oster concluded that while Binaural Beats
produced very little neural response (because the
depth of a Binaural Beat is only 3db or 1/10 the
volume of a whisper), they could be useful in
diagnosing certain neurological disorders.
Unfortunately the guys with all the money are
binaural merchants, that’s why almost all the
products you can find use binaural.
“The Morry Method” uses monaural and isochronic
(even more powerful) tones, which are much more
effective than binaurals at encouraging the
“frequency following response” that is
responsible for entrainment.
In short, “The Morry Method” uses a proprietary
protocol developed for presenting various
stimuli to the brain and mind. The end result of
this method is much “softer” on the
brain/body system and offers a more natural
incorporation of the “brain beats” (with their
associated benefits) as well as any presented
information (i.e. meditations, hypnosis,
affirmations, etc.)
Quantum Mind Power is by far the only product on
the market created using “The Morry Method”.
And it’s probably the most effective brainwave
entrainment product you can find.
If you still have any question about the
technology and the product, you can contact their
support group from the website.
Go for it.

“I have been listening to the “Quantum Mind
Power” lately and have found myself in a state
that is unusually different (in a very positive
way). I am experiencing much less stress from all
the workloads I’ve been handling. I also feel my
enthusiasm and motivation skyrocket to a whole
new exciting level.
I have neve*r felt this sense of happiness and
excitement in my life before. This is a strange
feeling, and I like it a lot!”
Michael Lee

“I am very excited and I don’t have words to
express my feelings. “Quantum Mind Power” is
exactly what I have been looking for. I was a
little bit depressed because I achieved only 60%
of my June month goal till 28th. Even I couldn’t
concentrate on my work because of it. I used
“Eden Energy Wave Dynamics Isochronic 6″ for two
days (29th and 30th) and I instantly feel a
positive energy in my bod*y.
In just 2 days I become more energetic, joyful
and you’ll surprise to know “I achieve my goal
for June month too”. Truly Amazin*g.”
Raamakant S.

“I have had sleep problems since I was 17, and I
have neve*r been able to fall asleep immediately,
and if and only if I do sleep, I still neve*r get
the rest I wanted.
After listening to your program for the second
time, I was out like a light bulb, as if almost
by command.
Also as a side note, I let my youngest son listen
to your program, during his examinations and low
and behold, he got his first A, EVER. He was
always the grade average of C+!
Just incase you wondering he is in grade 12 so
you can imagine the effect this program has had
on him.”
Kaashif Karriem
—————
…Just this week for the first time my ability
to concentrate and focus on things had an
amazin*g jump out of nowhere. With this
experience I had a pleasurable ‘feeling’ which I
have neve*r experienced before, I can honestly
say the ‘jump’ was more than 300 percent. Now
this ability was not a one off, I have managed to
experience this at random.
My creative ability has had a major leap, I am
working towards an album for the end of 2007,
there is an avalanche of ideas just keep coming,
and these ideas are nicely fitting in my
plan.

Do you find your life joyful? Do you know your life purpose? Do you know what you really want in your life? Do you feel passionate about what you are doing? Do you know your real desires?
In this article, I am going to show you how to clarify your life purpose, and exactly what you need to do to bring your desires into reality.
Since school age, we have been taught what we should do, what we are supposed to accomplish in this game of life. We have been given a life path that everyone has to follow. We have to go to schools, get a degree, find a job, then go to work day after day. This is what everyone is doing, so this must be what we should be doing too. We just do it this way, and never question whether it is right or wrong. This is our fate, we don’t have a choice.
Is that really true? We really have no other choice? No, absolutely not. We can choose anything we want. Since God has given us free will, He must have given us the ability to use our wills. We don’t have to follow other people, we don’t need anyone to tell us what we should do. We have the power to choose. We have the power to design our own destiny. The truth is if you don’t choose, others will choose for you. You don’t want to give your power to others.
People tell me they don’t know what to choose. They don’t know what they really want. They are afraid of making a wrong decision, and they end up making no decision. Let me tell you a secret, there is no right or wrong decision. Every choice or decision you make is right at this present moment, and is to your best advantage. People don’t make their decision because they are afraid that they don’t have the right information and knowledge. If you have this thought, please remember this motto, and repeat it many times a day, until it sinks into your subconscious mind. “I know what I need to know.” “I Know what I need to know!”
Once you make your decision, the right information will come. This is not optimistic, this is the law of the universe. As I have discussed in my previous articles, everything in this universe is made up of energy and information. Energy and information work by the law of attraction. There is no exception. The law of attraction works perfectly. Your thought is also energy. What you think, you attract. This is the law of the universe, it has worked millions of times, it must also work for you. The universe is always there waiting to help you, but you must let it know what you want, otherwise, there is no way for it to work with you. Once you’ve made your decision, the universe will take care of the rest. Because at the moment of your decision, you are sending out information to the universe, and through the law of attraction, it will bring back to you the right information.
People always wait for the right information or opportunity to come, but they fail to understand that the right information will never come unless they allow it to come. The universe doesn’t know what information to send to you if you don’t let it know what you want. At the moment of your decision, you are setting the entire universe into motion. This is a scientific fact.
You only need to make a decision, and the right information will come. It will come in the form of your intuition. Deepak Chopra once said “if prayer is you talking to God, then intuition is God talking to you.” Be sensitive to your intuition; whatever information you receive, you must act upon it immediately. Don’t wait for the perfect information to come, because what you receive is perfect from the universe’s point of view. The universe is a perfect universe, it always provides perfect information. A wise man once said ” Everything in this universe is exactly as it should be.” Whatever you do with the information you receive from your intuition is to your best advantage, and is perfect in God’s eyes. If you make any mistakes, it is because God wants you to learn something. Nobody can achieve success without experiencing any failure. This is the way the universe works. Don’t be afraid of making the wrong choice. A guru once asked “This is my way, what is your way? The way doesn’t exist.” No, the way doesn’t exist, so do it your own way.
I hope I have made it clear. You need to make a choice on what you want, and then wait for your intuition to show you the information, and then act upon it immediately. Ask yourself, “what is the next thing I need to do in order to achieve my desires?”, and your intuition will constantly provide you with the perfect information you need. Do it your own way, your success is guaranteed.
Decision, Intuition, Action, these are three simple steps that guarantee your success.

A look at a Success Template for your business or career success and how to achieve it by daily programming your subconscious , visualization to drive you through writing goals and visualization.
“You are the harbinger of your own success” is a mantra that’s used by successful people in all walks of life. Every success story you’ve ever read follows the format of a person who described their dream, their visualization tried to work out what was needed to achieve it, and then set out to do it, by dint of hard work and tenacity. A case in point is the actress Eva Langoria. Langoria didn’t take the crown in her first beauty pageant. She set her goal and visualization on winning Miss Corpus Christi by watching videos over and over again, and visualizing in her mind what it would be like to win the title, and immersing herself in her dreams. She visualized herself into success, and through tenacity, focus and the will to succeed, she did.
What Eva Langoria did for her career, you can do for yours. The keys are exactly the same – visualize your success in the present tense, and itemize the things you need to accomplish to achieve your goals. You have to want your goal so strongly that you can taste it, feel it. You have to be willing to do what it takes to get there. Live your goal, and breathe it, and let no-one tell you it’s worthless or that you should set it aside.
Now, wanting it is part of the process, but want alone does not bring success. Be realistic about your goal; don’t listen to naysayers, but do take the time to build up a realistic plan of action and set of mileposts to measure your intermediate success along the way. Wanting without planning, and wanting in the future tense, rather than visualizing in the present tense, will only lead to bitterness and unhappiness.
To avoid this, build on positive images of your success. Build a vision board, or collage, a visualization of the images and ideals associated with achieving your goal, and study it every morning when you wake up. You’ll find that your subconscious mind will make connections between elements on your vision board that surprise you, and that you’ll find yourself inspired as you work through your goals and that they’ll come into place.
Every morning, make a list of the days goals, writing it out by hand. Writing it down impresses it upon your mind; then visualize completing each days goal in turn, in the present tense, and keep yourself focused on it as you go through your routine for the day. As setbacks arise, as they always do, focus in on your goal again with visualizaton. Make sure you’re aware of your progress working towards your goal; novelists try to do three pages per day, every day, so that by the end of a year, they’ve done two novels in their spare time. Be flexible in meeting your goals; life throws you complications, and sometimes, alternate routings to success that weren’t obvious when you set out on them.

“Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.” – Anna Freud
In today’s competitive world, it is more important than ever for businesses to attract and keep highly talented people. In order to do that, they must provide a work place environment that is challenging, creative, and fun. Since creativity is at the root of innovation and invention, it would behoove all companies – large, small, or in between – to help promote a creative atmosphere in which this talent may flourish. What better way to get a huge return on their investment?
A two-year in-house creativity course offered at General Electric resulted in a sixty percent increase in concepts available for patents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In 1999, after investing over two million dollars in research and development, Hewlett Packard generated more than 1,300 applications for patents.
When the Sylvania Company offered several thousand employees a forty-hour creative problem-solving course, their return on investment came to $20 for every $1 they spent.
So how can your company keep its employees happily coming up with great, innovative ideas?
• Look for these creative people. Recognize them for the intelligent innovators that they are.
• Create an atmosphere that’s conducive to creativity. You need to let the ideas come forth and thrive. Be tolerant about ideas that don’t work out initially. There’s always a next time when more fresh ideas can be implemented.
• Acknowledge the people in the company who generate new ideas. It’s important to foster that creativity and show visible support. Champion those innovators!
• Reward the creators with public recognition, monetary rewards, or both.
The workers and the managers should bring about creative changes in the company together, shaping a fellowship that allows for a feeling of safety for those creative ideas. It should provide an environment where people can feel secure about expressing those ideas, without being fearful of criticism or ridicule.
The feelings of respect and trust for one another will foster inspiration, and dismiss any negativity or critical judgments. The perfect atmosphere would be one of encouragement, motivation, good training, and lots of opportunities to be creative. This would provide the necessary creativity to the organizational level.
No longer would you go to a work place that fills you with dread each day. The job that provides you with money for food, clothing, and shelter, not to mention a few luxuries, could also be a pleasant haven during the workday. You’d have security and status, but without so much stress. If your creativity is allowed to blossom, your heart and soul for your career returns as well. This could change the face of the work place. Implement this yourself and see if you can make a change for the better in your own workplace.
Many companies try to avoid putting creativity back into the work place. They feel it could lead to chaos. They say that it would be illogical, unruly, and uncontrollable. This needn’t be the case, if approached in the proper manner.
If you encourage creativity within your company and support the talented people, it will help you compete, regardless of your industry. According to Fortune Magazine (January 1998), highly motivated employees are up to 127% more productive than those averagely motivated employees in complex jobs. It’s simple – if an employee feels satisfied and encouraged in his job and happy with the company, he will become more motivated and thereby become more productive. A happy worker is a productive worker!
Unfortunately, our country has become a nation of workaholics. We feel if we’re not busy 24/7, we must be slacking off; we must produce nonstop or other people will think that we’re lazy. But busyness for its own sake is a sign of low self-worth and should be avoided. Even God rested after working for six days.
It’s okay to sit and do nothing once in a while. Sometimes, you have to let a problem sit awhile and incubate in your mind. The answer will come more easily if you stop obsessing about it. Even daydreaming is useful. If you allow your child to daydream, they will develop a higher IQ. Why not do the same for yourself? Remember too, that play is just as important for an adult as it is for a child.
Believe it or not, the number one concern of employees at any level of a company is not money, but the desire for a good balance between their work life and their personal life. In order for good employees to keep up with the level expected of them, they must attain a certain balance of work and play. Vacations, occasional personal time, and a pleasant work place are essential for their careers and their health.
There’s a Zen saying that the bow kept forever taut will break. This is very true. We need to play and relax in order to be productive. Play, even at our work place, makes us happy and joyful. It clears those cobwebs out of the brain and allows us to think more clearly, thus becoming more productive. The problems that seemed beyond your reach while brainstorming might come so much easier when your mind is free of stress and worry.
Creativity and play are essential these days. We’re all looking for more purpose in our lives, and we’re beginning to re-think our jobs and careers as well. Job security is a thing of the past; and unless employers begin to recognize and encourage creativity on the job, there could be radical changes coming.
In many companies, smart employers are beginning to see the advantage of closely-knit teams working together to form creative, problem-solving forces. They’ve begun using a more open kind of office, omitting walls between the departments. They’re making use of more computers and other forms of communication with each other. Department heads are working more closely with the lower levels, so they are aware of what’s happening at all times. The chain of command is made simpler, responsibilities are expanded, and creative and innovative ideas are welcomed and encouraged.
In any job or profession, there are problems to be solved; and where there is problem solving, there will be creative thought. The first step to solving a problem is to know everything you can possibly know about the problem. You must know how it started and what caused it. Get hold of all pertinent information.
Start to look at all the facts. Figure out how they fit together. Sometimes, you’ll find that unlikely elements can start to make some sense together. Try not to fall into what scientists jokingly refer to as “psycho sclerosis” or hardening of the attitudes. This just means not falling back into the “this is the way we’ve always done it” syndrome. If it has always been done that way, why is there a problem with it now? Obviously, it isn’t working now, so it’s time to figure out a new way to do things.
Watch out for the notorious “inner critic.” (More about that in another chapter.) This is simply that little voice in your head that tells you it’s impossible for you to solve this problem. It’s the old “if others haven’t been able to solve this muddle, what makes you think you can?” critic. Disregard this voice. Unfortunately, you might also hear this selfsame voice coming from others as well. Remember the words of Mark Twain, who said, “The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.”
Watch out too for the frustration that can come at you. Long hours of preparation and anguish, when the answer doesn’t present itself, can often lead to total frustration with the whole project. You just want to throw up your hands and yell, “I quit!” But don’t! That’s just the “darkness before the dawn,” as they say. Stay persistent. The answer is out there and you’ll find it; just don’t give up. It’s not that a problem is unsolvable; sometimes, people just give up too quickly.
Sometimes, you just have to let that thought simmer in your brain for a while, let things gel a bit. Maybe you just need to “sleep on it.” Let your subconscious work on it for the night. (More on the subconscious in another chapter.)
Often times, going on about your usual business, getting ready for work, showering, and shaving will break the dam and the brilliant ideas just pop to the surface of your brain. A long walk or a drive in the country will make all the difference. You just need to relax and let those ideas simmer in your brain until they’re done. Maybe it’s time to play!
Try to take a break often during your day and let your mind rest a bit. Our world is encroaching on our thinking time, all during the day. Your boss, associates, teachers, students, even television, all want to tell you what you should be doing, every minute of the day. Sometimes, you just need a break from all the mind controlling going on and think your own thoughts.
Whether it’s on the job or at home with your family, the creativity you possess is a vital tool in your life. Have faith in your own creativity. Don’t be so hard on yourself if things don’t work the first time. Be an observant human, watch everything, learn, and don’t be afraid to ask the dumb questions. You know what they say – the only dumb question is the one you didn’t ask.
Sickness is something that can not be completely avoided. Everyone knows this to be the truth. At some point or another, everyone gets sick enough to need the help of a doctor. Anyone who hasn’t, may have a problem that has gone undetected. So, there is just no truth to the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Being a doctor is very difficult because he/she has to always be organized and there is no margin for error. The reason for this is because of the life or death decisions that are the daily reality of being a doctor. Unlike casino gambling where casual risks are acceptable, a doctor can’t gamble casually with a patient’s life. It goes against everything he/she has been taught to practice in thought and deed. People in the medical profession are there because they have the desire and are trained competently to preserve life and not to casually waste it.
Needed Tools Prepared in Advance
Before a patient ever enters the operating room, the doctor will make sure all the instruments needed for the procedure are in their proper place and sterile. He/she won’t have to actually do this job because there are nurses and scrub techs that set up all the items necessary. The doctor still needs to make sure that all is in proper order, though before beginning the procedure..
Once surgery has started, it can’t be stopped in the middle because the forceps or surgical sponges are either not on the tray or are in the wrong position and not easily accessible. Such an occurrence would waste time and result on more bleeding than is necessary. Since the life of the patient is in the doctor’s hands, he/she must use time wisely to maximize the patient’s good outcome.
The doctor must know exactly every instrument that will be needed during surgery so he/she can quickly see if any are missing or in the wrong position. Incompetence is not something that can be afforded in this situation.
Narrow Beam Focus
The doctor also needs to keep his/her focus on the immediate point of concern. If the patient is having a hot gall bladder removed, it is not the time to be examining the duodenum. That can wait until after the gall bladder has been remove and the area completely taken care of.
The surgery could become unnecessarily complicated if the surgeon’s focus strays from the task at hand. He/she must stay focused on the gall bladder or it could rupture if its removal is delayed because of a lack of focus.
Once concentration is diverted to another area, such as the appendix, a rupture could occur, causing severe infection and even loss of life. So losing concentration and focus would be considered an inexcusable error.
During medical training, doctors learn to keep a narrow focus in surgical and non-surgical cures and treatments. For this reason, a well-trained doctor is one that can be trusted when you get sick and need medical help.
Even so, there are still time when doctors make errors. Some have managed to complete training even though they are incompetent. These are doctors who should not be in the medical profession and really should look into a career change that would be a better fit. The medical profession is not the place for a casual attitude in focus and concentration.
The ability to focus and concentrate intensely is required of doctors. No one can be successful as a doctor without these attributes. If you have aspirations of becoming a doctor, work on developing the ability to stay intensely focused and concentrated on the task in front of you. This is especially important is you dream of becoming a surgeon.
How is your job affecting your brain? Overly demanding work can create too much stress, releasing hormones that can quite literally kill brain cells. However, work that demands no thought, thereby not sufficiently engaging the brain is just as bad. Boring, mind-numbing work may actually be just as hard on your brain as unrelieved stress. Work that doesn’t challenge your brain can cause it to actually degenerate or atrophy.
Therefore, you must avoid excessively demanding work as well as insufficiently demanding work and strike a happy medium somewhere. To be happy and healthy, physically, emotionally, and mentally, you need to feel a sense of purpose and a feeling of having mastered at least a part of your job, but still have enough of a challenge to be stimulated. That will allow you to have a healthy brain.
What are the hazards in your workplace? While there have always been occupational related hazards on the job, such as painters in danger of inhaling fumes from the materials they handle on a daily basis, the current era has probably produced more toxic dangers than ever before in history. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA), all have tried to make our lives safer and healthier, testing virtually everything we could be exposed to in the performance of our jobs.
What keeps these organizations from being totally successful in protecting our bodies and our brains? It’s the sheer volume of compounds they have to test every year. Thousands of compounds and toxins are synthesized every year and there’s just no way to get them all tested.
When it comes to your job, how hard is too hard? We’ve left the pre-industrial society with it’s “it takes a village” philosophy and unfortunately, entered the competitive “work, work, work” society, with its risk of identity loss.
Back in 1979, Americans worked an average of thirty-eight and a half hours per week, as compared to the forty-two hours per week in 1999. Most don’t have a lunch “hour” anymore; it’s more like thirty minutes. Once upon a time, workers could actually go home for lunch, but now there is simply not enough time for such luxuries, especially since most people now work so far from their homes.
Job stress is not necessarily the number of hours you put into the job, but the type of work you do too. An emergency room nurse has more stress than the receptionist does at a bank. The working mom may put in a forty hour week, but how about the extra fifty hours she puts in after she gets home, taking care of her children?
Stress at work can mean high levels of glucocorticoids assaulting your brain. Those with special stress such as doctors and surgeons or soldiers in battle are even more at risk. However, there are other mitigating circumstances that cause stress, such as:
• Changing jobs
• Working exceptionally long hours
• Conflicts on the job
• High noise levels during the workday
• Unfair compensation for work done
• Constantly changing hours
• Abusive conditions in the workplace
All these things can cause high levels of GCs to flood into the bloodstream, showing that job related stress could damage brain cells.
Ask yourself these questions about your job.
• Do you find your heart pounding from excitement about your job, or from stress?
• Do you find yourself sweating from exertion or frustration?
• Do you have a chance to pat yourself on the back for a job well done or do you feel frustrated at not being able to get everything done each day?
• Are you appreciated by your peers and supervisor, or is every job criticized, so you cease to care about the job you do?
• Do you work well under pressure or does a deadline throw you into a panic?
• Do you have trouble focusing on the key points of a problem you are trying to solve?
• Do you become anxious and confused when faced with a problem and a deadline for solving it?
• Do you begin to feel that you’re incapable of solving the problem?
If you enjoy your job, feel real satisfaction in doing it, and are made to feel you’re an invaluable member of the team, you will experience much less stress in your life, and that’s another way you can save your brain.
As long as we’re discussing how work can impact your brain, let’s also add another topic that could be adding to your stress levels. While technology has enabled us to make remarkable strides in the fields of medicine and communications, it has also brought with it a new form of stress—that of Information Overload! Information can bombard you from every direction now. Just one issue of the New York Times contains more information than the average person from the 17th century encountered in an entire lifetime.
Not to mention that bad news seems to dominate the information flowing towards you. Unfortunately, bad news sells better than good news. There you go—more stress coming at you. Besides the newspapers, there are thousands of magazines, television, radio, email and snail mail bombarding you every day.
The good news is that the field of communication has taken giant leaps in our society too. The bad news is that everyone seems to feel the need for a cell phone, a pager, a blackberry, and a laptop computer. Why do we feel the need to be connected every minute of the day? Unless you’re a doctor, is it really necessary? Are we really just trying to impress others with our seeming productivity? At what cost? More and more people are experiencing burnout, chronic fatigue, and nervousness. All because they can never escape this information overload.
How can you handle this overload and not let it control you? That’s going to mean leaving the computer at work, turning off the pager and the blackberry. Avoid the email once in a while. Take a break from technology and give yourself a much-needed vacation from the overload. Reduce the stress and learn to relax and your brain will thank you.
“The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.” – Robert Frost
One pastor at Fellowship Church – Pastor Ed Young, Jr. – is known for delivering great sermons. He has been able to produce nearly 1,000 messages in 15 years of preaching at this church – all through applying the technique of mind mapping. Since the mind is believed to see things in clockwise fashion, Ed uses a legal-sized piece of paper where he attaches message notes in a clockwise direction (using both the front and back of the legal-sized paper.) At the start of his career, Ed would take time out to jot down, color code, and illustrate his ideas on the mind map by hand. In time, he has become more dependent on a computer template to create his mind map for each sermon. But even on these computerized mind maps he has opted to keep color coding the key words, illustrations and transitional words that he needs in order to keep track of the flow of his sermon. Ed also keeps integrating handwritten notes into these mind maps when he needs to remember something or change something at the last minute. Ed does not memorize his sermons – rather, he focuses on being familiar with the whole content. This leaves him free to expound on certain ideas during the sermon itself when he feels it is necessary.
