			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Friends</strong>,</p>
<p>Here is a little mid-week <strong>surprise post</strong>! I have something I wanted to ask you and I just <strong>couldn’t wait till Friday</strong>.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago, I did a poll on the blog where I asked you “<strong>what would you be interested in learning more about from me?</strong>”</p>
<p>We got an impressive number of responses but the subject that got an overwhelming majority of the votes was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Qi Gong</span>, the art of manipulating energy.</p>
<p>You all already know that we can perform outstanding things through energy manipulation and visualization... but what you may not know is that I have been teaching Qi Gong  for quite some time and have more specifically focused on <strong>my expertise of energy healing</strong>.</p>
<p>SO, with the <strong>holiday season</strong> just around the corner, I decided to put a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">little surprise together for you</span>. I really want to make sure it’s ready before the holidays so I will be working hard on it over the coming month.</p>
<p>But before I can get started, I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">need your help</span>.</p>
<p>I'd like your opinion on something.</p>
<p>Please answer the polls below and check the option that you feel best describes what you want to learn most about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Friends,</strong></p>
<p>Yet another Friday and yet another "Dear Burt.” I have answered a couple of <strong>questions</strong> from last week and I hope you find <strong>my answers</strong> helpful.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here are the questions</span> I had the privilege of answering this week:</p>
<p><em><strong>Cassandra barragan</strong> says </em><br />
Is there any hope for me as I am deaf. Do I have to listen to cd or can I read it. I wear hearing aid and I can hear noise but not enough to hear words and I am a lip reader so will I get same benefits if I hear cd without knowing what it said as long as I read the manual or whatever you have. just tell me how it works. Thank you<br />
<em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Mira</strong> says </em><br />
Hi Burt, how can you find out if a person is unfriendly (maybe will do you harm) and what can you do (to disarm him/her) beside run,run....?Love your short lectures. Mira<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><em><strong>Delilah</strong> says </em><br />
Thank you for your very captivating and life- empowering words. Sad to say, that I missed all those past videos of yours. Listening to you makes my Friday night and week ends more complete.Have a wonderful week end to you as well.</p>
<p><em><strong>Anna harper</strong> says </em><br />
Thank you Burt, always enjoy your blog. I am a mindbox, quantum jumping student. I would appreciate more on the principal of rhythm as you described, understanding where we are with our own rhythm, thank you Burt....Anna<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><em><strong>Nora Walters</strong> says </em><br />
Dear Burt: It was a treat to be able to see and hear you again. The photograph is very interesting but your paintings are much more of a treat to admire and enjoy. I want to tank you for the great Seminar you just belted out in L A. To me it was a very peaceful couple of days and I certainly love you for it.</p>

<p>I hope you will benefit from <strong>my answers</strong>! Don't forget to leave <strong>your questions</strong> for next Friday.</p>

<p>Your feedback gave me a lot of insights on some <span style="text-decoration: underline;">new</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">exciting ideas</span> for the future.</p>
<p>I’m thrilled to see that many of you are interested to learn <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all the subjects I listed</span>. It is so important to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">never stop learning</span>. Learning is growing and I promise to help you grow as much as possible.</p>
<p>I know it may have been difficult for you to pick up just one of the topics I listed, but the subject that got an overwhelming majority of the votes was <strong>Qi Gong</strong>.</p>
<p>I have prepared a 10 minute video on Qi Gong that I want to share with you today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Hello Friends</em></strong>,</p>
<p>It's been sometime since we had our last round of<strong><em> "Dear Burt"</em></strong> . I apologize to those of you who have been waiting to hear my response. As you may already know, I have been busy with my upcoming <em>Quantum Jumping II</em> launch and this is the reason for the delay. I know you understand <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Also, I know today is Thursday and <em><strong>"Dear Burt"</strong></em> always happens on Fridays... but for <span style="text-decoration: underline">some strange reason Alexandra has requested me to do it today</span>. She says, she needs the blog for something tomorrow, but won't tell me what! I have a feeling something is brewing. I wonder what she is up to!</p>
<p>Here is your weekly dose of <strong>nirvana</strong> <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Please note that I recorded these videos for tomorrow, so if you hear me mentioning Friday in the video, then don't get confused.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Here are the questions:</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Hi Burt  thanks for the 2 videos this Friday. Great advice. Very interesting. Can a Dwaddle be any picture or shape one wants to use?<br />
<em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>-- Neemu</strong></em></p>
<p>Thanks for reminding us of the Dwaddle which you taught in your earlier CD Package. I am wanting to use this form of healing, now for 3 friends and myself. My question is - How often should I do this 30 seconds technique? Once, twice or thrice a day? You talk about practicing it and let you know in a weeks time…I presume then that if after a week there is not much healing as we would prefer, then in that case we just continue or do we do it for a week and then just release our healing energy to the universe? My question is how long do we do this practice for? Many thanks for all your wonderful information.</p>
<p><strong><em>-- Sheryl</em></strong></p>
<p>The dawdle is a good workable method. Kindly inform if we can make the dawdle ourselves also. Thank you for all these great gifts. May God bless us with the choicest of blessings. Regards</p>
<p><strong><em>--Vudia</em></strong><br />
Dear Burt, Thank you so much for answering my question so quickly! I appreciate your Dwadle healing. I have used it twice and the back pain is reduced but not gone. Should I continue repeating the Dwadle healing or is there something else I could do? I would appreciate any suggestions. I have learned how to accept that this pain is part of who I am. In Love &amp; Light,</p>
<p><strong><em>-- Julie</em></strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt, I am beginning to catch your drift,you make everything sound so easy, relaxed, matter of fact,almost like a Poliana Whiteshadow; as long as you keep and sustain the right thought in mind, of that you want to accomplish at the time,it will be so.?I think is wonderful! we don’t have to make it a heavy trip and worry wether you are doing a procedure right or wrong. Master, am I getting it? Your Grasshopper.</p>
<p><strong><em>-- Nora</em></strong></p>
<p>You tell feeling/emotions are not attached to results while doing healing work. But however it is important to recall the successful of past cases while doing the healing. I find myself difficult to recall the feeling. If to some extent i recalled the feeling I feel uncomfortable throughout the day. In fact in Silva method they tell recall the successful feeling What is the right way for me??Thanks a lot.</p>
<p><strong><em>--Parameshwara</em></strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt, Great content. I really enjoyed the video. I really liked your comments about emotions and healing. That makes sense to me that a person needs to be neutral.<br />
I have a related question. In the Law of Attraction body of work, many authors say to infuse emotion into your desire. They say emotions add fuel to a visualization, affirmation etc.<br />
Do you feel emotion helps to bring about goals, desires?</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Here are the questions:</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Burt, I was reading about how to manifest your desires and became a bit confused when I was listening to one of your videos about meditation and healing. I thought in order to manifest your desires you had to impress the subconscious mind which only relates to feelings. How can I meditate about something that I want to happen such as, healing without feeling emotion, when it is my desire to heal. I thought it was the feelings that make whatever it is you want, to manifest. The lower self (subconscious) can only feel emotion while the conscious mind only hears logic. How do I separate meditation for healing and meditation to manifest desires. Sorry this is so long but as you can see I am getting confused. Can’t wait to hear an answer on this. Thanks so much for taking the time for this.</p>
<p><strong><em>--Betina </em></strong></p>
<p>Hi Burt, I really enjoyed your suggestions this week. The advice about moving and tidying as a way to get your intentions into the world was excellent. I tend to start these projects and not finish them. Do you have a way to help with completion?</p>
<p><em><strong>--Leila</strong></em></p>
<p>Dear Burt, I need your advice here is my situation i have been out of work for 10 mins now. And ever since then i haven’t been able to sleep. I am also a recovering pot head. I sleep OK for a week or so then experience 2-3 days of no sleep at all not even 5 mins. I have tried silva method with the chalk board and doesn’t help. Every time i have something to do the next day i can’t sleep.<br />
I have blown off 2 interviews because i was sleepless. I feel like i can’t go back to work because of this. I have tried to meditate at least 200 times and rarely get to alpha. When i feel my brain waves shifting to alpha it startles me back to beta. I take melatonin every night and do pore breathing at bed time to put me to sleep but it doesn’t work. How can i slow my brain waves to sleep and meditate? I lie still and pore breath but nothing happens i am stuck in beta. I feel like my brain is jello and very stupid without sleep. advice please!</p>
<p><strong><em>-- Matt</em></strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt, I’ve wrote you before and I really hope this time you can answer me. I have the Mind Box (1&amp;2), Sexual Enlightenment and the Victory program, so far they help me but I’m still struggling with fear of abandonment and negative thinking, I really wish I can be able to stop my negative thoughts and just change my attitude to a positive one, can you please tell me what technique I can do? Thank you</p>
