Dear Friends,

Receiving affirmation is something everyone desires. It boosts confidence and it puts us in a good mood. This week, I want to share with you a simple technique to give yourself affirmation everyday.

Watch the video to see how this life-changing mantra can be so simple:

Dear friends,

Happy Saturday everyone and sorry for the late blog post this week. No need to worry though - they will go on as usual debuting every Friday.

I've been really happy to see more comments below these videos so I thought today to do another sort of question and answer session. If you want your question answered in one of the videos coming up just leave a comment below and I'll get around to the ones I feel haven't been addressed much before.

So today it's tapping, rhythm, and healing.

As I've said before everything in life has its own sort of rhythm. You can find out more about the idea of rhythm by using the EFT tapping technique I talk about in my Mindbox program and on many of these video blogs (here and here, to name a few).

But before clicking the link learn some more and watch the video below.

To enlightenment,

Burt

Dear friends,

The other day I wrote a little bit about why it's important to use less of your mind. Today I'm going to be elaborating on that topic a bit as well as giving you a little taste of how to exercise your brain and how it can help you in your daily life.

Just like any other muscle in your body your brain needs exercise. Once you've gotten the hang of working out your brain new possibilities and ideas will seem to start materializing out of nowhere. Tune in below for more.

To enlightenment,

Burt

Dear friends,

Lots of people tell me they feel guilty when eating certain foods. Although I think it's very important to eat healthily and have a healthy lifestyle it's equally important to not incorrectly program yourself with self-imposed feelings of guilt.

To these kind of people I respond, "If you're going to eat cake anyway then there's no reason to feel guilty." It's more important to make the decision if you're going to feel guilty or not beforehand. Depending on your answer to this question either eat up and enjoy or don't place the order. Simple as that.

Many years ago I talked with Juan Silva of The Silva Method about this and he shared an incredible technique with me that I'll re-share with you in the video below.

Tune in for details.

To enlightenment,

Burt

HI friends,

Welcome to another week of "Dear Burt"

Let's get back to where we left off last week.

The Horizontal Pendulum I like to call it, although you'll commonly refer to it as the dowsing rod.

Watch my video here:

Very often all the answers you seek are already within your subconscious and you just need to know and learn to tap into your unconscious to seek them out!

To Enlightenment,

Burt

Hi friends,

Welcome to Dear Burt 80. We're in the number of my age. Well I'm 83 actually

This week I want to talk to you about hypnosis and I'm adding a little bit on kinesiology as they're kind of related, in the context I'm talking about though.

Watch my video here:

Try it out! Because words can really affect your mentality which in turn creates your reality.

You can test it to some degree, better still, is to get someone to help you with it. (Just to be sure you're not cheating)

To Enlightenment,

Burt

ps. Use this opportunity to ask me anything you want here.

Hi friends,

People often ask me "Burt, how can you be so pumped-up at 83 years old?" and my answer is always the same : It’s all about positive thinking!

Every day, I fill myself with positive affirmations and it helps me maintain a happy and a positive attitude.

You've probably heard me say this over and over, "attitude is everything." All my life, I have created my own positive affirmations to help me attract success and good health into my life.

So, I came up with an idea of sharing my positive affirmations with the rest of my community on Facebook and got them to share some of theirs in return.

The results were so overwhelming as hundreds of people on my community shared their affirmations and I was thrilled to see the enthusiasm and the quality of the positive affirmations that were popping up.

In just 5 days, my team and I had over 600 affirmations and boy, it was so powerful.

Now, here's the best part though, after we announced our Top 3 winners on Facebook and shared their affirmations with everyone, I  wanted to give all those who participated including each and everyone in my community the chance to be inspired by the positively that was flooding us.

So my team and I have prepared something really special for you. It's a small gesture to show you how much we appreciate each and every one of you for sharing all those amazing positive affirmations and always being a part of my growing community. We designed a special PDF booklet with a collection of some of the most powerful affirmations that we've gathered.

You may want to print it out and keep it with you or post it up on your wall and be constantly inspired by them all.

Hi friends,

Time for Dear Burt 66. I hope you've had a great start to 2011.

So this week, I'm going to talk about how to use less of your mind. Sounds obvious doesn't it?

Well there will come situations in life where using less of your mind is actually more beneficial.

This is simple based on the Principle of Polarity.

Watch my video this week to learn about this:

Remember, when angry or stressed, lowering your brain waves is the key to solving crucial situations in everyday life. Again, you do this simply by eliminating your emotions from the situation.

To Enlightenment,

Burt

p.s - Remember to share your questions with me below or simple leave your comments about my video this week. Looking forward to hear from you!

Hi friends,

Happy Friday! Today, we're at week 57 of "Dear Burt".

I've got quite a variety of questions this week.

Here are they are:

"Dear Burt, how can I manage colleagues who are deceitful and fraudulent at the workplace? When you place trust and expect minimum ethical standards and they influence the boss with wrong and misleading misinformation! How can I surround myself with honest and trustworthy colleagues? One more question, I want to know how I can make my husband sensitive towards my feelings and not hurt me with hard, rude comments."

- Violet

"Dear Burt, I'm still having no success with Quantum Jumping. Any additional tips?"

- Lisa

"Dear Burt, what's the secret to your sexuality Burt."

- Raul

"Dear Burt, how can I "redo" an experience and NOT become a smoker."

-Lee

Watch my video response here:

I hope you've taken some good points from our chat this week about meditation, parallel dimensions and sexuality. Have a great weekend!

Don't forget to leave your comments, as well as questions for next week.

To Enlightenment,

Burt

P.S - I almost forgot, the picture behind me is of a barn in Tulsa, Oklahoma!

Hi Friends,

It’s time for another Dear Burt.

I hope you didn’t miss my edition last week, but I had something something special I wanted to share with you instead. I’m glad to hear that you liked my affirmation toolkit. I hope you have already started reciting them daily. Thanks for again for your positive comments and feedback.

Today, I wanted to share another one of my montages with you. I call it “Street in Paris.” You may have seen it before but I must say, It’s one of my favorites. I would love to hear what you think.

Also, today I have a special guest with me...

Some of you have been asking for a while “when can we see your barking dog?”  Well, today is the day.

Meet, Baby.

Ok, now onto the questions for this week. Today, I’m addressing two very interesting topics:

1. The power of words
2. How to learn a new language quickly and easily

As I received some interesting comments last week about my affirmation video, I wanted to take some time to offer some words of wisdom because it’s such an important topic.

Affirmations are wonderful things, but what makes them effective is the ‘power words’ used in them.

You all know that your physiology affects your psychology... and vice versa. Affirmations are powerful tools to change your physical AND mental state. If you constantly think “weak” in your mind and then shift to thinking “strong,” you will see a change in your attitude and physiology  (body language). This is what affirmations do. They change your thoughts, which change your physiology, which then reinforces the positive thoughts. Try this experiment at home at let me know how you feel.

Some of you also asked me how to quickly learn a new language. Today, I will take some time to address how this is done. Here’s a quick hint: it’s all about mental volume.

Here are the questions I’m addressing this week:

Dear Burt,

Thank you Burt! Affirmations changed my life — even though repeating simple words would seem to not make a difference, they really do!

After listening to myself talk (things my brain would repeat throughout the day), I realized how many other people were actually controlling my thoughts! Changing those negatives into positives has created lasting positive change in my life. I’m still living through the stuff I called into existence before I knew how powerful thoughts were, but know all this is temporary.

Two of the affirmations that I use are: I am grateful for helpful people. I am grateful for free stuff. So, you are the result of two years of positive affirmations and proof of the power of thought!

Have a fabulous day,
Marilyn

Dear Burt,

How can I become a fast learner whether it is a new subject matter or a new language?

Thanks,
Ikisha

Dear Burt,

I´m so happy to met you and so glad to be your disciple. I find a lot of love in your words, paints, photos, and all that you represent. I admire you, and definitely we need to be more and more enlightened in order to make a better world day by day, and working on ourselves. Recently, I started to apply for a job. I have been passed on a lot of opportunities because I want to be hired by this particular company but, I didn´t pass the english or math tests. I know I should be better, but I wonder if there is a faster way to learn languages through my Doppelganger. I try so hard to have good English, but I don´t know what happened to me. I always fail. Maybe it’s my fears, or because I do not believe in me. Same thing happens with Math. This is strange because I am an Industrial Engineer, but during the tests I took with different companies, I got nervous and have had very bad results. That´s why I can not get the job that I want. What would you advise me to do? Thank you very much Burt. Have a wonderful week and I send you a lot of love, light and peace.
Liz

Dear Burt,

I love your work. I have been studying and following you for a few years now. This may be a “strange” question, and I hope you can clarify/guide/enlighten me. About Quantum Jumping… is it possible that you are different in a parallel universe? I mean look completely different, and everything else is the same/or almost the same — but you somehow know it is still you? What then??Thanks for you help. A friend and I have been debating this for a while now and I would like your opinion (I thought about this before I heard about you or Quantum Jumping).
Greg

Here’s my video response:

I hope you enjoyed this week’s “Dear Burt.” I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Burt
