It’s the lesson most of us struggle to learn throughout our own lives.

Maybe it’s the lesson of life and love. It’s certainly been the major issue people have talked to us about in our thirty years as therapists and relationship coaches. Even if the person brought in a problem of depression or marital misery, this issue was hovering in the background. The depression never lifted and the marriage never harmonized until the person learned this mega-lesson. It’s is if a secret—perhaps the deepest secret—is withheld from us until we can open our hearts for the few seconds or minutes it takes to reveal the secret to ourselves.

Here is the deepest secret:

The major barrier to a loving relationship is an unloved part of you.
That’s right: An aspect of ourselves that we have never loved and accepted keeps us from forming and keeping genuine love with others.

Here’s why:

If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be looking for someone else to do it for you. It never works, because people who don’t love themselves attract people who don’t love themselves. Then they try to get the other person to love them unconditionally when they’re not even doing it for themselves. Read More…

As you probably know by now, we featured Sean Stephenson on our blog a few months ago.

Sean is a good friend, so good in fact, we've hung out in four different countries in the last five months since we met.

We hung out with Richard Branson on his private island last May, in the British Virgin Islands.

We conducted a fun personal growth team retreat in Bali back in June, we spoke together at the Engage Today event in Calgary, Canada in September and in October we met up for a speakers and authors event at L.A.

So, like I said, Sean has been a good friend, UNTIL... two weeks ago.

You see, before that L.A. authors and speakers event, I happened to have traveled a lot, and so I couldn't prevent myself from falling asleep during an important speech.

Now, here's what happened next.

Sean that little devil filmed me falling asleep, and uploaded this video below to Facebook, until many people in my contact list saw the embarrassing moment.

After that, I swore I'd have my "revenge."

Now, a lot of people know Sean as a brilliant inspiring motivational speaker, a guy who inspires others to lead the best lives, bla bla bla. Eh, whatever.

What many people don't know is this: Sean Stephenson has his funny "dark side."

And given that his new TV show is launching this weekend, I want this to go out to as many people as possible.

Watch this scandalous video of Sean and discover this "dark side" I'm talking about.

Enjoy.

Oh, and btw, when Sean's television show launches, do NOT watch it.

BOYCOTT the TV show on the Bio Channel this Nov 15.

Read a book, bake lasagna, do anything except watching TV that day.

Sean is a disgrace to people in wheelchairs everywhere. Sean a best-selling author, inspiring speaker and stage legend?

Bah!

How about saboteur, playboy and 3-foot menace to society.

Ah, obviously, I'm kidding of course.

Sean is an amazing guy.

Do tune in to his new TV show which launches this Sunday. It's going to be fun and exciting.

So how well do you know your brain? Even though we rely on our brains for EVERYTHING, 90% (if not more) of people are oblivious to what's going up in their noggin'.

But here's the best part. Your brain is hardwired to help you in every endeavor you choose. All you need to do is "activate" it.

For a long time now, people have known about the brain's ability to operate at different wavelengths and frequencies. But not everyone knows what each form of brainwave does. So here's a crash course on the key brainwaves and how they can help you speed up your personal growth, feel more relaxed, and live a happier life. Read More…

There are many in America right now that are losing their homes.

My children and I lost our home shortly after my divorce. Losing your home, a loved one, a business, a job, or any other significant thing or person in our lives brings forth vast and unsettling emotions.

Our sense of security, identity, and safety is threatened.

We wonder if we will survive. We wonder how we will survive. We feel pain, anger and a sense of tremendous loss.

At one time or another we will all experience this in our journey through life.

Sometimes we merely survive the upset.

Sometimes we are left with unresolved anger and a lingering or lifelong feeling of unjustness and unfairness. Read More…

Editor's Note: Before you start reading watch this special video message from Robert Scheinfeld:

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Our discussion here begins with a discussion of The Truth of who you really are. Who you really are is what I call an “Infinite Being” – a magnificent being who lives in a constant state of infinite power, wisdom, abundance, and joyfulness. Along your journey, you’ve no doubt heard something like this:

"We are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience."

That’s true, but it’s the little-known True nature of our “physical experience” I want to chat with you about here.
Your natural state as an Infinite Being also includes having an unlimited desire to play, explore, and express yourself creatively. As a result, you decided you wanted to play a game called "The Human Game."

We’re all here playing The Human Game!

The Human Game - What is it and why do we play it?

I define the term “game” as anything we do for entertainment, fun, challenge, and to express ourselves creatively. As such, to me, sports and traditional games like checkers, chess, bridge, and monopoly are games. But so is painting sculpting, playing a musical instrument, reading novels, watching plays, movies or TV shows, etc.
For purposes of discussion and using metaphors in this article, however, I’m going to focus 100% on sports games. All sports games have specific structures, themes, “playing fields,” and specific ways of winning. Read More…

Hey guys,

At FinerMinds we're dedicated to giving you the best content out there in personal growth and spirituality. So to get to know you better and bring you more amazing content, we would love it if you could help us out with some feedback. In the quick 1-question poll below, let us know which author or personal growth guru you'd love to see more of.

Who Do You Want To See More Of On FinerMinds?

1. Robert Scheinfeld

If you don't remember, Robert has spent over 20 years helping people change their lives through spiritual counseling. His last article on FinerMinds was a bit controversial and caused quite a stir. He talked about the "Human Game" we're all playing and how in reality, we're all infinite beings. You can check out his article over here >>

2. Raymond Aaron

Raymond Aaron is one of the top goal-setting gurus out there. He's helped thousands of people turn their lives around, often increasing their incomes by 2 to 3 times. We just started publishing his Polar Race series on FinerMinds (inspiring or risky? you decide) and one of his latest videos on goal getting involved your "psychic immune system." Have a look here, if you haven't already >>

3. Richard Luck

One of the coolest contributors we've had to FinerMinds. He wrote an article about the powers of subliminal messaging and talking to your subconscious (click here to read it) and even offered a free subliminal video that he and Noel Jones creates. Really cool stuff.

4. Janet Attwood

Janet is a visionary, a transformational leader, and a world humanitarian. Not to mention she's also famous for the creation of the Passion Test with her co-author Chris Attwood. Her most recent contribution to FinerMinds was "The 7 Keys To Living A Passionate Life". If you haven't read it yet, you can check it out here >>

5. Paul Hoffman

If music and personal growth could have a love child, it'd be Paul Hoffman. You've probably heard his songs of inspiration and success before and will agree they're amazing (not to mention fun). He wrote an awesome article for FinerMinds a few months ago on the power of music and its connection with meditation and it got rave reviews. If you don't remember, just click here to read his article and get 2 of his audio tracks too >>

6. Sonia Choquette

A top psychic and intuition teacher, Sonia Choquette has spent the last few decades spreading the message of intuition as well as teaching it to over 50,000 people. I recently interviewed her for FinerMinds and I can honestly say that it was one of the best interviews ever. She goes the 3 levels of intuition and gives some really cool exercises to boost your 6th sense. Click here to check out the interview >>

Thanks so much for helping us out with this!

Cheers,

A couple weeks ago we put up a video from Raymond Aaron, the nation’s number #1 success and investment coach on procrastination (click here to watch that video >>).

But it doesn't end there. He's about to do something that 99% of all people would call extraordinary and highly dangerous: a polar race to the North Pole. He does some pretty crazy things (one of them involves a meat freezer and a rather interesting story about a shovel) just to complete his goal.

Check out the first part of this mini-movie on the story of Raymond Aaron and how one man could accomplish so much, jump all these hurdles, and bring so much positive change to the world.

Whether it's a polar race, a new business venture, a drastic life change, our lives are filled with adventure. But after watching this video, I want to know what you think:

Do you think what Raymond is doing is inspirational or just plain risky?

P.S. Stay tuned for part 2 of the movie to find out what happened to Raymond Aaron and this icy adventure.

Are you still stuck living with just 5 senses?

Well, the truth is that you have 6. And that 6th one is your intuition. It's something that we all have but unfortunately only a handful of people really know how to use it to their full advantage.

It's a pity because everyday people struggle to make the right decisions, find their life's purpose, and stress out from worrying about their outcomes. But if you manage to achieve a high sense of intuition, then life will become a blessing and a joy.

There are 3 levels of intuition as outlined by psychic and intuition teacher, Sonia Choquette and when you hit all 3, you will have success in every part of your life. The first level deals with your physical security, the second level is relational intimacy (dealing with friends, family and people), and the 3rd level is personal interest and success. Vishen just did an interview with Sonia on the 3 levels of intuition.

But before you can achieve the 3 levels, you need to sharpen your intuition so check out these 5 techniques for six-sensory living.

1. Find Solitude

The world we live in now is jam packed with information, disinformation, other people's opinions, media campaigns, etc. So it's pretty hard to differentiate between your inner voice and the voice of the external world.

Spend 30 minutes each day being alone. Whether you're meditating or journaling, these 30 minutes will allow you to get in touch with you really are and not what the world wants you to be. Take this time to let your thoughts flow and really listen to yourself. Ask yourself questions. You'll be surprised what answers come out of you.

Most people go through years or even decades without really speaking to their heart and subconscious. What happens is you wake up one day and think, "I have no idea who I am."

If you want to sharpen your intuition, you need to know yourself. You need to acknowledge your inner voice and become familiar with how it speaks to you and what it's personality is. Just like you spend time getting to know someone else, you also need to spend time to get to know yourself.

Raymond's got another secret prepared for you. In this 2nd video, you'll discover the 3 steps to make every goal an instant success >>

I truly believe that fruits and vegetables perform a key role in our lives today and that our diet is pivotal to our wellness. A diet that consists of fruits and vegetables is far superior to all the other kinds of food that we eat.

“He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything”

- Arabian Proverb -

And you better believe it. The world’s leading medical specialists are more and more saying how having a predominantly vegetarian diet has the potential of reducing a string of heart problems, fights cancer, helps induce fat loss and generally improve your health and wellness…

But there’s more to it than that.

My Journey To Healthy Living

My name is Mohana Gill and I was born in Burma, spent many years of my life in Melbourne, before settling down in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I was never an overtly unhealthy person – I enjoyed the multitude of foods available down under and especially here in Malaysia and was never really concerned all that much about what I put in my body.

I have three sons, Sanjeev, Anil and Rakesh. In our family food has always played a significant role. From the time they were babies food was always prepared  at home. My husband and the boys enjoyed a variety of food and were very discerning in their tastes.

Of all my children Sanjeev was the one who was most passionate about food and relished each and every meal. It was fun and heartwarming to see him devour food laid before him. During holidays from boarding school in Melbourne and later from University he would approach each meal with relentless fervour. Our many friends enjoyed taking him out because he would enjoy all genres of food, from hawker stalls to fine dining. I was constantly thinking of ways and means to satisfy his wide ranging appetite.
