The Power of the Human Mind

by Christian Flint

I write and talk a lot on Mind Power and how powerful a singular mind truly is.  In most all cases, I am prone to giving examples of man's invention of flying.  I give examples of how we invented the capacity of human flight, and less than 75 years later, we sent men to the moon.  The power of the human mind is truly impressive.  

My primary job also, is to help people make positive changes in there life, as well as to motivate and give hope, focus and empowerment.  Not only is everyone worthy of hope, empowerment and self-esteem, we are worthy of understanding how we can affect the world around us.  Of course, I seem to take for granted that most everyone wants to use their personal empowerment in a very positive way.  

Recently, I watched a series on cable TV that gave me additional insight on the human mind.  Regrettably, this show was an historical account of some of the "greatest" and most memorable minds in history.  Most every time we hear their names, we cringe as sadness, terror and even rage fills our minds.

Without naming names, I believe the most important information I took away from observing this series, was how a human mind can also be utilized to create destruction.  It can be used to control people in masses.  It can be used to manipulate other empowered people to participate in mass destruction and population control.

As I watched the footage and depictions of the historical accounts, it dawned on me as to ask WHY people choose to empower themselves for complete control, power, wealth and greed over others.  Human suffering in our world today is actually more caused by oppression and war by other humans, than is caused by nature / "acts of God" and other atrocities like disease.  Human beings are responsible for more killing, oppression, societal degradation and human enslavement than any other entity on our planet.

It also occurred to me that if we would have chosen to focus ALL of our mind power and abilities on the betterment of society and well-being of human kind, I truly wonder how much further along we could be.  I think of all of the Mind Power wasted that has gone into personal empowerment for all of the wrong reasons.  These reasons are direct and indirect, but most humans agree, now and even from history, these acts were debilitating acts on humans, religious beliefs / values, cultures and societies who never asked to be disturbed, controlled or oppressed.

For me, my mind has always looked for ways to better myself and the world around me.  I find that enough of a challenge.  I have never felt the need to kill or even oppress others to obtain and maintain my stability in life.  Human suffering is far too tragic to ignore.  To think that mankind is its own worst enemy, is even worse.

I implore anyone that makes use of their incredible mental gifts and empowerment, to focus their abilities and personal growth on the good things in life.  We are responsible for ourselves first, and others second.  But, also our responsibilities to humankind still remain. 

I believe every human is capable of greatness.  I specifically enjoy helping those that want to make this world a better place.  But YOU have a choice.  You can empower yourself for the betterment of yourself and possibly mankind.  Or, you can empower yourself for selfish control and the degradation of humankind.  Obviously, we now make incredibly good historical records of it. 

I have certainly always pondered the "Yin / Yang" balance of humanity.  "For every Terrible Evil, there is a Wonderful Good."  I just wonder when we will realize that we have a "choice" in the matter.  That WE create this supposed "balance" that seems to be as much bad, as good.  We do, however, have control on these manifestations.

Without further philosophical indulgence, I remind everyone to take a strong look at the space around them and recognize EVERY thing that man has created or affected.  Realize the time, effort, fortitude and even the imagination it took to create that.  For better or worse, humans have massively impacted this planet and made an everlasting mark.  Our "footprint" on this tiny planet we live on will be recognized universally, evermore as time goes forward.

Put simply, the Human-Mind created all of this.  

How will you use your mind?

How will you empower yourself?

How will you leave your mark on the world around you?

You have the EXACT same ability, time and potential as anyone that has ever come before you that created the world you live in now.  Make use of it all.  Develop and create.  Imagine and grow.  This is one of your many talents and gifts.

How Important Is Your Sleep??

by Christian Flint

As someone who has worked in the Health Care Industry as well as someone who regularly consults people on their personal health and success in life, I can not begin to to tell you how vital your sleep really is.  We spend one-third of our life sleeping.  Some people a little more, some a little less.  But the truth is, past and current research in sleep health shows that your body and mind require about 8 hours a day of sleep for optimum health and performance.

Research today concludes that trying to find ways around quality sleep is detrimental to your health overall.  While there are some people that can get 4 - 6 hours of quality sleep and feel refreshed and awake, there are multitudes that can get a full 8 hours or more of sleep regularly and not feel awake and refreshed upon waking.

Realize first, that regardless of whether you have sleep difficulties or not, you require regular sleep for optimum health.  Trying to circumvent healthy sleep and rest can almost guarantee mental, physical and / or emotional health problems later on.  And, the more your fight it, the worse the effects can be.  

Those who insist they perform well regularly in life without adequate sleep generally are fooling themselves.  Tests show that lack of sleep has the same effect on people that are under the immediate influence of alcohol or drugs.  The person has the perception at the moment that they are performing well.  But, in clinical trials, someone who lacks sleep often performs the same as someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  Sleep deprivation not only harms you physically but it also distorts your perceptions and memory.

Psychologically, one of the most interesting facets of mental health is the required neurochemicals that you create and secret in your routine day.  Lack of sleep can often inhibit or cause an increase in the manufacturing of these neurochemicals.  With this chemical imbalance, people will begin to force their normal cognitive behaviors as well as their thought process to appear normal.  In reality, the attempt at forcing yourself to think, look and act normal while being sleep deprived is only creating improper neuromotor pathways that can conflict with your mental and physical health.

Sleep impairment is directly related to many serious components of your health such as:

• Increase in Stress / Anxiety
• Weakening the Immune System
• Direct Impairment of Your Senses (i.e. vision, taste, smell, touch, hearing)
• Sugar Imbalance (diabetes or hypoglycemia)
• Organ Functioning (liver impairment, gastrointenstinal issues, skin health, etc.)
• Depression
• Memory / Recall
• Mood Stabilization
• Physical Performance

This is only a partial list, but you can obviously see that healthy sleep deprivation can impair your quality of life and overall functioning.

Sleep is probably one of the most commonly overlooked problems in health today.  Doctors and health care practitioners often overlook or neglect to investigate your sleep health and sleep practices.  While they know the vital information I listed above, most practitioners take for granted that you ARE taking care of yourself when it comes to sleep and getting healthy, restful sleep routinely.  They often base their consultation and diagnosis as if you know how to manage your sleep health.  But, do you really?

I have recently put together a Two-Disc set Audio Program that can greatly assist you with falling asleep and staying asleep.  Whether you have severe sleep disturbances or not, this program not only educates you on obtaining quality and restful sleep, it also gives you two tracks that can assist you in developing deeper, restful sleep night after night.

Quality sleep is vital for your overall mental, physical and emotional well-being.  Without proper sleep and rest, it is only a matter of time before your health declines prematurely and you are having to take many more steps to help your health problems.  Why not take a natural and preventative step in helping yourself now?

With regular quality sleep, not only will you feel better, you will look younger and more vibrant.  You will enjoy your days more, you will lead a more fulfilling life.  And, you will FEEL much better as a result.  Sleep is one aspect of your life that you can impact and truly help yourself.  Why not start now?
