Hello Friends,

Well, here we are with the 20th edi­tion of “Dear Burt”. Hard to believe it already sec­ond Fri­day of the year. I hope 2010 has found you well and that you have all started your New Year’s res­o­lu­tions.

First of all, thank you dearly for all the nice com­ments your left regard­ing my “Good Bye April Moon” excerpt. I’m so happy to know that most of you read it and loved it! A few of you asked where you could buy the entire book. Well, as I explain in my video below, that site of mine is not com­mer­cial (it’s purely a place where I can share my work with you) so there’s no pos­si­bil­ity for you to order the phys­i­cal book. But, today… I have a sur­prise for you. Watch my video below to find out what it is!

Today, I will be dis­cussing the sub­ject of sleep learn­ing and ener­giz­ing water for heal­ing. That seems to be a really pop­u­lar topic these days.

Before going any fur­ther, I wanted to share some­thing with you. One of the most com­mon prob­lems I hear from peo­ple who have recently started med­i­tat­ing is the ten­dency to fall asleep dur­ing a med­i­ta­tion. Well, for­tu­nately, this is hardly a prob­lem. In fact, when you fall asleep, you spend about 10 min­utes at the Alpha level. When lis­ten­ing to a med­i­ta­tion at the Alpha level, you are actu­ally get 10x more out of the med­i­ta­tion than some­one who is lis­ten­ing to it wide awake. So, the next time you start to drift off dur­ing a med­i­ta­tion, don’t worry. You might be ben­e­fit­ing more from it than you think.

Now, here are the ques­tions I will answer this week:

Dear Burt,

Loved the excerpt of “Good-Bye April Moon.” Would you do bet­ter by telling us how to order a copy from you? I read the excerpt, but didn’t see a way to put a copy in a shop­ping cart. XXX’s & Many Bless­ings!
Cindy

Dear Burt,

Thanks for the New Year’s gift. I imme­di­ately read the Good-Bye April Moon excerpt. Now, please, where can we get the book?
I have been a fan since Super­mind in New Orleans. I appre­ci­ate the classes I took and all the recent prod­ucts I have bought–incredibly help­ful and the weekly videos are such a treat. A most Happy New Year!
Kerry

Dear Burt,

Okay Burt, I give up… I went to your book site. I loved what I read but where do I place my order to buy your books? What are the prices? You are a fab­u­lous piece of work your­self! Hugs to you
Janice

Dear Burt,

I have just accessed your book “Good-Bye April Moon.” Much of what you say would be very use­ful if I could use it when I train peo­ple who care for vul­ner­a­ble adults (those with men­tal infir­mity, learn­ing dis­abil­i­ties, phys­i­cal dis­abil­i­ties etc). This would help them to see that they have power over those they care for, how­ever, benign and to think about this and reflect on and improve their work to empower the peo­ple they work with. What are the copy­right limits/rules on this work? Thank you.
Margaret

Dear Burt,

Always look for­ward to your Fri­day treat! I just pur­chased the Heal­ing Tri­an­gle and I have the same “prob­lem” with it as with some of your other talks. As I sit and lis­ten to head­phones or speak­ers, your sooth­ing voice relaxes me and actu­ally puts me to sleep. I wake at the end of the tape, some­what frus­trated that I missed 10 or so min­utes. Did my sub­con­scious mind still hear the com­plete lec­ture? Your thoughts please. Best wishes for 2010 and it will be bet­ter than before! Thanks.
Jean V.

Dear Burt,

Could you pos­si­ble share with us your tech­nique for clear­ing acne? My son suf­fers ter­ri­bly from it and I am quire sure the causes are not just phys­i­cal as I also used to have the same prob­lem (although his is much more severe). I would very much like to help him.
Milena

Dear Burt,

I do like your ques­tion you gave us to use. How about a sug­ges­tion for rephras­ing it for bet­ter results by say­ing: “how much bet­ter can you do?” Happy new year to YOU Burt … and friends!  CAN YOU DO ANY BETTER?

Dear Burt,

Thanks for the thoughts. I will read the chap­ter to see how it per­tains to me. My ques­tion is sort of weird. I don’t have much luck “visu­al­iz­ing” things. Is there a “work around” for this while I learn, some­how, to visu­al­ize? Is visu­al­iza­tion pos­si­ble?
Tom

Here’s my video response:

I hope you enjoyed this week’s “Dear Burt.” I look for­ward to hear­ing your com­ments and ques­tions for next week!

Sin­cerely,

Burt

Hello Friends,

Thanks for all the sup­port and encour­age­ment that you have been show­er­ing on me. The least that I can offer, is my heart felt gratitude.

See­ing your active par­tic­i­pa­tion and all those con­stant feedback’s, means a lot to me. This gives me an oppor­tu­nity of con­tin­ues learn­ing. The more I get, the more I learn.… and as I remem­ber it, some wise per­son once said — The wis­est is he, who knows learn­ing never stops…

I won’t hold you any fur­ther. So go ahead and enjoy this week’s “Dear Burt”. I have answered ques­tions in two sep­a­rate videos due to the increas­ing num­ber of ques­tions each week. ( but hey, am not complaining…for that mat­ter am look­ing for­ward to the day when I post three videos!! )

Here are the ques­tions for video –1:

Dear Burt, In the Mind­box series, while med­i­tat­ing to your “Jour­ney to the Spir­i­tual Plane” to heal self-guilt and grief, I was won­der­ing what kind of mind med­i­ta­tion I would have to use for it to be pos­si­ble for the receiv­ing per­son to actu­ally hear and receive said expla­na­tion and apol­ogy, given that the per­son and myself no longer talk any­more? Per­haps in a dream or some­thing? Or would this tech­nique fol­low a much more endur­ing path into the mind than just a med­i­ta­tion? I do not speak with this per­son any­more but am won­der­ing with the proper tech­niques, how that would work. Thank you.
– Eliz­a­beth

Hi Burt, Thank you for all your guid­ance and knowl­edge. I’m at the stage of giv­ing up on the law of attrac­tion, cos­mic order­ing, feng shui, med­i­ta­tion, affir­ma­tions, God and angels etc, I’ve made so many changes in the past few years since learn­ing about this whole area but I seem to be in a worse off place, con­tin­u­ally dis­a­pointed at myself for not being able to man­i­fest. At first it was fun and excit­ing but now it’s turn­ing me into a neg­a­tive person-not towards oth­ers but towards myself.Is there any piece of advice that you can give before I com­pletely give up on it?! Thank you.
– Lor

What can I do to improve my atti­tude in prepa­ra­tion for a Quan­tum Jump? What can I do to improve my atti­tude over­all? Best regards.
– Ingrid

Here is my response:

Here are the ques­tions for video –2:

Hey Burt! Your “Dear Burt” is Very Insight­ful! You answered some ques­tions that I have always wanted to know in the past. You how­ever still didn’t answer my ques­tion a while back, but I guess I under­stand since you have way too many ques­tions to answer. I’ll try my luck again and ask a ques­tion: I have a prob­lem where I seem to UNCONTROLLABLY chan­nel too much Qi energy. But the main prob­lem is that I am unable to heal myself any­more as a result. I think it started when I used your tech­nique of Visu­al­iz­ing the bright sun and then draw­ing “infi­nite” amounts of energy from the sun and into my body in order to heal myself. I repeat­edly did this many times that now even if I “Very Slightly” visu­al­ize A body part or an organ, I feel strong surge of energy onto that body part, And now I can’t heal myself any­more like in the past.
So would you be able to pro­vide me with some Insight or a tech­nique of get­ting myself back to nor­mal again? Thank you Very Kindly Burt for any Insights you pro­vide, YOU’RE THE BEST! Best Wishes,
– Charles

Dear Burt, I sure enjoy lis­ten­ing and try­ing to get the info from you, when I can. I suf­fer from real anx­i­ety and migrains weekly, from mony and fam­ily stress. I tried to find ways to cope and feel some con­trol. Can you help me with your advise. Many thanks to you and your ideas, I want to Thank you most for free advice and will to look for your wis­dom. Sin­cerely.
– Sher­rie

Dear Burt, Thank you for your blogs. Your answers do give me lots of advice. I have espe­cially focused on your var­i­ous heal­ing tech­niques. They have offered some relief. My ques­tion: Are there any deeper heal­ing tech­niques which I could use to heal chronic pain? I have had chronic back pain for over 25 years. Could you sug­gest a tech­nique that pro­grams heal­ing over a period of time say, a week, at reg­u­lar inter­vals? With grat­i­tude.
– Julie

Hi Burt, I like what you said about all topic and just bought Quan­tum Jump. Every time when I med­i­ta­tion I feel relaxed but feel really hard to visu­al­ize and never feel inter­ac­tive with the dou­ble ganger, does this mean I am not in alpha level? Another ques­tion, dur­ing this kind of med­i­ta­tion, should we carry emo­tion with or should stay neu­tral? Should use mind more or less? Thanks for won­der­ful pro­gram.
–Kathy

Here is my response:

As always, I hope you enjoyed this edi­tion. I would love to hear from you. You can leave your com­ments and ques­tions below.

Yours always,

Burt

Hello Friends,

I am happy to share that I’m almost fin­ished with my next mon­tage. I would reveal it on my blog early next week. Don’t for­get to check it out! In the mean time, enjoy this weeks edi­tion of “Dear Burt”.

Here are the questions:

Dear Burt, could you answer this ques­tion for me: which of your meth­ods would you rec­om­mend to increase con­fi­dence – espe­cially in social sit­u­a­tions. Thanks.

– Leila

Dear Burt, I was hav­ing suc­cess solv­ing lit­tle prob­lems using the Q-Jumping tech­nique. Things like locat­ing lost items etc. It Really Works! For the past sev­eral weeks I have not been able to get any­where with it as I fall asleep every time just before the Jump. I have tried dif­fer­ent times of day, same result. I just can’t stay awake long enough. Is this because I am get­ting bet­ter at total relax­ation? Per­haps I should stop count­ing backwards…Any Sug­ges­tions? Thank You.

– Trevor

Dear Burt, You are awe­some! I can­not wait until I can pur­chase your Quan­tum Jump­ing pro­gram. I have a ques­tion for you-that I hope you will help me with. My mother hung her­self 34 years ago when I was 19, and I was the one to find her, and even to this day, after all the self-help books, cds, etc. I still have the image of her hang­ing there pop into my head quite unex­pect­edly, and it’s like liv­ing it all over again. What can I do to resolve this? I really need to be free of this. Thank you so much for all you do for us.

–Amy

Burt, I’ve been to a few of your sem­i­nars over the years and there were two demon­stra­tions that really caught my atten­tion. One was when you had some atten­dees bring in their bro­ken watches and you piled them up on a table and yelled “work” and more than half of them started work­ing. The sec­ond was a demon­stra­tion where you called a vol­un­teer to the front of the room. You stood behind her and reached into the air as if you were grab­bing her but you never touched her and pulled her back. Though you never made phys­i­cal con­tact with her she started to fall back­ward. As an E-NLP stu­dent of yours, can you describe a model that you used to do this. Inter­nal thought, body pos­ture, etc. These are the demon­stra­tions that really fas­ci­nate me because there is an actual objec­tive effect to be observed. Thanks.

– Saul

Hi Burt, my ques­tion is — Do you believe in a Supreme Being, i.e. God? If so, what is your def­i­n­i­tion of what It is like? From where does your belief orig­i­nate? I am cur­rently writ­ing a the­ory to sci­en­tif­i­cally prove “God” exists and am gath­er­ing as many view­points as pos­si­ble. Thank you.

– Marilyn

Here’s my response

Look­ing for­ward to your com­ments and more ques­tions for the next week. Keep them flow­ing. I’m lov­ing it!

Sin­cerely,

Burt

Dear Friends,
I am hum­bled by the enor­mous response that “Dear Burt” has gen­er­ated and I was so happy to read your questions.

In this very first edi­tion of “Dear Burt”, I have tried answer­ing the ques­tions which I thought many peo­ple would be able to relate to. If I didn’t answer your ques­tion, then look for­ward to it in the com­ing weeks.

Here are the ques­tions I had the priv­i­lege of answer­ing this week:

I seem to have a chal­lenge in ask­ing the right ques­tions. Can you give more details on ask­ing questions?

– Jan­ice

How to iden­tify who is the authen­tic Guru among the large and grow­ing num­ber of pro­fes­sion­als pos­ing on the inter­net as   spe­cial­ists in Life Enlightenment?

– Vishal

I’m won­der­ing if you could com­ment on the Silva three scenes tech­nique in light of NLP. In NLP, and cer­tainly in my case, the future is to the right and the past is to the left. In the three scenes tech­nique, it is taught the the future is to the left and that is why we pro­gram it towards the left. This is con­fus­ing to me and I’m won­der­ing if you could clear this up since you are expe­ri­enced with both NLP and Silva.

– Mark

I am a new stu­dent and work­ing hard to hard­wire Mind­Box. It is con­cep­tu­ally deli­cious and no doubt if I could apply it effi­ciently I would really feel reborn as a god in that my every desire could finally come man­i­fest? I feel that I have already had some suc­cess due to these tech­niques. Build­ing one suc­cess upon another would gen­er­ate enor­mous con­fi­dence and excite­ment. My wife and I have spent a num­ber of years study­ing astrol­ogy and Feng Shui, i.e the ener­get­ics of the local uni­verse as they may apply and impact each of our per­sonal lives. In other words, these mag­nan­i­mous mag­netic forces are push­ing us around? Are you say­ing that the nature of our rela­tion­ship with these forces will be some­how trans­formed? Are you say­ing that we can tran­scend them? For exam­ple: become wealthy when our karmic map indi­cates poverty, find true love when we have Pluto in the 7th house, or even through will trans­form our body chem­istry so that the pan­creas doesn’t pro­duce excess insulin?

– Zhee

Hi Burt! I would like you to put your hand on your site so I can touch it to help heal myself with your help. You did that once but when I had the time to do it, it was gone. Thank you.

– Josephine

Here is my video response:

Please leave the com­ments as well as your ques­tions for the next week below.

Sin­cerely,

Burt

Cor­rect me if I’m wrong here, but there’s no law against med­i­tat­ing in pub­lic places, right?

Why, then, do author­i­ties seem deter­mined to stop my new friend Max Simon and his friends from doing their thing?

You may have heard of Max. He’s the 26 year old founder of the self­cen­tered Tour (getselfcentered.com), a new school med­i­ta­tion move­ment that’s on a mis­sion to inspire a mil­lion peo­ple to learn med­i­ta­tion by 2010.

The med­i­ta­tion ses­sion you can see in the video is called a Pub­lic Dis­play of Med­i­ta­tion (PDM). Max has been hold­ing them across the coun­try in all sorts of unbe­liev­able venues, from Hol­ly­wood Boule­vard to shop­ping malls, and the buzz has caught on like wildfire.

I recently met Max at my 81st birth­day party, and I think he’s an astound­ing young man.

This is exactly what we need to get the younger gen­er­a­tion inter­ested in med­i­ta­tion. Max is suc­cess­fully brand­ing his form of med­i­ta­tion into a refresh­ing, mod­ern pack­age that is fast catch­ing on among young peo­ple through­out the world.

The son of best sell­ing author David Simon M.D., he’s been med­i­tat­ing since the age of 4. And by the time he was 22, he was the youngest med­i­ta­tion and yoga teacher at the Chopra Center.

After barely a year of oper­a­tions, he’s already gained the praises of Mr. Deepak Chopra him­self, Apl of the Black Eyed Peas and Ms. Deb­bie Ford.

I’m sure it’s only a mat­ter of time before he reaches his one mil­lion mark!

You can visit his web­site here: www.getselfcentered.com

So, if you had the chance to med­i­tate any­where in the world, where would it be? Please leave your com­ments in the box below.
