FinerMinds Hits A Growth Spurt – Which Direction Do You Want Us To Grow?

by Vishen Lakhiani

picture-77Hey everyone,

I've been really happy the last few months because of the way FinerMinds has been growing. We're getting tons more great interviews, better and better exclusive content, and it's all thanks to you guys.

Without you we wouldn't have been able to advance at such a fast rate.

Growth is great and the more the better but I want FinerMinds and your growth to be in sync and directed. It doesn't make sense to develop in the wrong direction just for the sake of growth. I want FinerMinds to help with your personal and spiritual evolution.

So, in the spirit of collective growth and spiritual progress, I am asking you to help me expand FinerMinds in the direction you want it to go.

What are your most pressing concerns? What would you like to see more of? Do you want more on the body, mind, or spirit? Be as specific as you like. If you want to see more on the Law of Attraction or Arjuna Ardagh, say so.

  • Would you like more on body and healing?
  • Do you want more articles on parenting?
  • Would you like to see more on spiritual growth?
  • Or would you rather read about wealth, entrepreneurship, goal-setting, and motivation?
  • How about love and relationships?
  • Would you like more on meditation and visualization exercises?

I really appreciate your honest and straightforward opinions and the readers of FinerMinds will too.

Thanks,

Vishen Lakhiani

P.S. Your comments really build a stronger and better community. Together we can revolutionize collective thought!

Hi,

Thank you for what you send out to us, it is appreciated.

I would something which goes deeper than wanting to make people feel good. I think our shadow is very imprtant, that dark side of us which most people don`t want to know about.
Until we begin to know that we tell lies to ourselves all the time and that the dark side we have suppressed is ruling us, I don`t we can leave our pasts behind, edven though we might kid ourselves we do.

All the very best in whatever you do next. Be inspired.

Gravatar image Carol says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I like the mixture you have been giving us. Yes, some are more interesting to me, but may be interesting to others. I am happy with what is coming - more would be good. Thank you.

Gravatar image Alexa says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

For me, I'm most interested in meditation and visualization, as that seems to be the key to getting what you really desire (for me, this is a good relationship).

Gravatar image Terrie says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I think Law of Attraction and Spirituality are the same thing. I think any modality that combines these two aspects of co-creating with Source is very important for these awaking times. I think articles about what is happening at this time in our history are important coming from many different philosophies. Articles from reputable sources that are channeling important information would be enlightening. Keep going deeper pushing the envelope challenging us to continue to expand our belief systems and the Truth of our reality. More on Spirit Guides, Feminine Energy and on and on. You’re doing a great job, keep up the great work.

Namaste,
Terrie

I love it the way it is, and I feel that you intuitively know which direction to take it. Anything to do with shifting the planetary consciousness to co-creating a healthy world is the path that would work for me... being connected to each other and our deeper selves. Thank you, and blessings from lindsay

I've enjoyed and purchased from Burt Goldman, Helene Hadsell, Gerald O'Donnell. Stephan Schwartz, along with some Silva. I have recently been interested in healing modalities: Adam Dream Healer, Quantum Entrainment, Theta Healing, and Dr, Eric Pearl--The Reconnection. I have purchased books from all of these. I would like you to interview them. Or at least get some feedback from people who have received healings. Thanks!

Gravatar image Kimberly says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

It seems like a good concept, but I'm disappointed to find that most of your 'articles' are just links to sales proposals, infomercials, etc. I have entered my email address in a number of your links and get solicited for buying some program. There is not a lot of concrete information you offer.

Gravatar image Shosh says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Your website is awesome. It has everything I could wish for. I would like to hear more interviews with Gerald O'donnel, Arjuna, and any other person that can contribute. I would also like to see more about spirituality, medtations, healing and anything else you can think of.

Thank you very much for the great website. God bless you. You are doing a wonderful work.

Gravatar image Libby says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Your material and site is always timely and extremely relevant for me. I would like more of what you have been providing.
Thanks, great job.

Gravatar image Nicole says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Definitely meditation... I would say constructively, that certain programs be made available only when their proprietors have been thoroughly researched. People like Bill Bartmann and O'Donnell have pretty spotty if not checkered histories where their credibility is concerned, so I'd be more careful with who you promote.

Other than that, I love what you do and wish you all the success in the world. Your business model is inspired and well executed in general. I have learned a lot from what you offer. Thanks-

Gravatar image Susan says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Hi,

Your website is an inspiration. The articles, and the audio and video interviews and clips are often motivating and informative.

I have not come across Ekhart Tolle in your series of clips. I read his book The Power of Now and was impressed with what he shared in it. More of Adarsh Adagh would be great.

Currently, I am in a pivotal stage of my life when I have taken the major step of quitting lucrative jobs before getting another one in line, and instead am in pursuit of that passion that I can call my career. It is a challenging period, when the emotional and spiritual drive has to be constantly and continuously kept in charge within me while I try to laugh off the logical arguments of discouragement that hammer my conscious mind. Reading your articles on how to keep going on with our dreams is my motivation. I live in that visualisation and affirmation. Thank you.

Meditation helps in mastering the power of our subconscious spirit and access to the universal energy. Yet it is easier spoken and explained about than demonstrated. Guidance on the simple 'what' and 'how' really one meditates would be facilitating.

Thank you again, Finerminds.

Gravatar image Deborah says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I write to you because I really apreciate your work and who you decided to be for this community.But sometimes the spirit of rightfulness and knowing better than others can be separating and not inspiring.There was this interview that some teacher wanted to check some principle with Vishen ,and he say no ,because it was a too a"open" stage.There was no freedom there.I think you have to check if everything that is said in this site is going to be beautiful true explanations about how we have to think and practice,but with no touch with life.I would expect to have more human experience on exactly the same themes that you speak about.Nothing more inspiring than being present to a real life or a real soul awakening.With great respect,Deby

Gravatar image may says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I have tried various methods of meditation, growth etc by various teachers, most of whom are promoted on your website.(Silva, Goldman, O'donnell, Schwartz). The results have been very discouraging not to say non existent. I would appreciate more practical guidance on how to meditate, remote view and the like. If you look at Gerald's forum "grill flame" you will see that hardly anybody has achieved anything by following his course. Thank you, May

Gravatar image Birgitta says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I agree with Lindsay - everything is good the way it is, and you intuitively seem to know which direction to take it. I am so satisified with Finer minds, I have cancelled my newsmail-subscription to many other spiritual- and coaching guides, so that I can focus more on the interesting content of your newsmails. Thank you for offering so many insightful interviews and newsletters. Many blessings to you.

Gravatar image Ian says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Actually, Vishen, I'd like to hear someone else doing the interviews. Your guests are wonderful, the topics are very interesting, but I find your paraphrasing (often incorrectly), interrupting and preaching condescending and annoying. We're not idiots, you know; and when a scientist explains something, you don't have to regurgitate it for us...with your alterations included.
It is nice to have topics offered as you do, and I enjoy being able to select from several. Thank you.

Gravatar image Zena says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I think some content should be aiming at students specifically, helping them acheive academic goals through the use of spiritual and Law of Attraction principles.

thankyouuu =]

Gravatar image Vishen Lakhiani says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks for the awesome feedback. Ian, thanks for being blunt :-) Yes we do have 3 other interviewers coming along as we grow. You'll start to see speciality interviewers in the fields of healing, parenting and wealth mindset this year. Stay Tuned!

Gravatar image Magda says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I'd like to see more on body and healing, different energy healing methods and interviews, audios with regards to that.

Thank you

Gravatar image Russell says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

OK Vishen, here it is. I've become convinced that nothing is going to work untill I find some serious healing. Deep, mental and emotional healing. Physical healing would be ok too but the doctors tell me there is only so much you can do with a broken back.
In one year I was hit with the death of my son, my wife being imprisoned in connection with his death,my daughter being taken by Childrens services, Divorce and breaking my back. I've never been able to bounce back from that year.
Yes, healing would be a great topic.

Gravatar image Paul Coughlin says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Hi Vishen,

Congratulations on the growth and success. Nice to see you soliciting feedback.

I'd like to see more practical steps. Practical applications - that make a difference - especially based on users own experiences.

Guess that comes under goals and results..

- keep up the great work.

Paul.

Gravatar image Jeanne says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I really like everything that you have done so far. A nice mix of everything.
I would like some information about overcoming past bad experiences. healing scared emotions.
Also how to know what really is best for yourself. The right direction when making decisions.

Gravatar image Alex says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I have to agree with Kimberly most of the time the site just sends you off to sales pitches. I would like to see in depth studies of the subjects teaching the basics of the discipline for that month. Then if we are interested to go further then we could be given a link to that particular discipline. I really would like to see more on medation and visualization

Gravatar image Tarja says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Thank You

You are doing a very good job and I like it all :)

Gravatar image alan says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Hello, The mind truly is a great thing. (Think and Grow Rich). I would like to see if indicators arise out of using the laws of attraction etc manifestation. If we recognize small indicators it encourages us to persist.

Gravatar image Christine Hoeflich says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

May,

Meditation is really only the first step in the process of reconnecting to your higher self and gaining trust in that connection/relationship. If you don't learn to distinguish your inner guidance from mental and societal conditionings and then actually follow through with that guidance consistently, you will never learn to trust that guidance and ultimately, yourself.

Your higher self know the bigger picture to life. Your higher self knows and sees things your conscious mind doesn't. That's why when you follow through on your higher self's guidance promptly and consistently, you then PLACE YOURSELF in the synchronicities and favorable events that will forward your growth and life. This is all important.

You begin with taking little steps, and each favorable result will strengthen your trust. But meditation is only the first step to this process.
I hope this helps.

Gravatar image Jeffrey says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I am having fun with the site and I am happy. I like the spiritual side and so more on meditation, spirtual healing, and practical tools for the 21st century are always welcome.

Love and relationships are also a big hit with me, I have made some mistakes and I need more tips on not how to repeat them.

I personally really like the .mp3's that I can download. The more stuff I can put in my ears when I am in the gym the better.

Keep up the good work, I am entertained, but caveat emptor for sure.

Gravatar image Vicki says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I would like to see Mike Reiner's videos featured again. And when you stop featuring a person, I would like you to tell us how to find that person's work again.
It annoys me when you feature great info and then suddenly the source is gone. No clue as to how to find his videos again or any of his new ones. I contacted you guys to find out how to find Mike's work again and all I got was a useless answer. Makes me think there was a falling out and hard feelings.
SO - when you feature ANYONE and then stop, make it easy for your readings to find the person you once thought was worth featuring. Thanks!

Gravatar image sonia says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Hello, I really like the mp3 because I can grow spiritually... and practice my English, imagine! I always knew I could read... but listening to someone, like in the phone, has been for me a little self-boost. (I've lived all my life in Argentina, never travelled too far).
I like meditation and visualization, setting goals... and healing. Wealth... it is also good beause I'm too prejudiced against having money...

Gravatar image casperlory says 5 months, 2 weeks ago

How about doing a series on the "Science of" books by Wallace
D. Wattles.

Caroline Myss would be a great addition to the "FinerMinds"
family. Her book: Sacred Contracts is just fabulous and would
be highly beneficial to the entire FinerMinds community.

Gravatar image javier says 5 months, 1 week ago

My interests are more on spiritual growth & meditation and visualitation exercices.

Thanks

Gravatar image stella says 5 months, 1 week ago

First of all i would like to congratulate You! You have the most amazing and educating information and interviews. I love Your passion and Your ability to share that passion and information with the audience.
What i would like of more is more health/wellness and longevity improvements info please.

Recently You had Brian Wong mentioning a 90 years old doctor who is a picture of health and fitness (he uses him as his role model) could U please have an interview with that doctor and others alike and share it with the world please.
Regards and best wishes
stella

Gravatar image stella says 5 months, 1 week ago

Forgot to add,
That comment from Ian (somebody) is so wrong, sure he can have his opinion but the rest of the audience love Your interviews style and your questions and underlining certain things of importance. If that Ian does not like Your style he does not have to listen, he has a choice! He says he is not idiot but he behaves like one! How can he criticise Your caring and Your effort to deliver all the important stuff to Your audience. Please do not change anything because of one persons whims and selfishness. Vishen, You are amazing and i love what You do.

Gravatar image jordan says 5 months, 1 week ago

I would love to see more on binaural beats and the advancing technologies that assist in growing mentally. I would also like to see different ways and techniques other people have used to overcome opportunities that may have seemed out of reach. Help with writing mantras or what the best approaches are when you are trying to reprogram your mind

Gravatar image ines says 5 months, 1 week ago

You’re doing a great job, keep up the great work.
I would like to have more creative visualization and meditation exercise, and more of parenting advise (kids in adolescence are hard to understand)

Gravatar image Jane says 5 months, 1 week ago

I would like to see more on meditation and visualization. I like what your are publishing and can usually find a connection just by reading your article. As far as the product promotions go........... I have a good job and have bought several of the products promoted by you website and others. Even though I do have a good job and like the idea of buying it all, I know in reality that it is not possible to balance all my other financial responsibilities if I were to purchase everything that comes across the internet regardless of how wonderful it sounds. On top of that, I have a hard time finding the time to read, listen to and watch everything that I have gotten and even if I had the time I find it better to graspe a concept and put it into practice before I move onto something else. I understand your need to market the products and I appreciate the exposure I get to the various programs. At the same time, it is my responsibility to myself to pick and choose what is right for me at any given time based on what my needs are and what I can afford. Keep up the good work!

Gravatar image Laurie says 5 months, 1 week ago

Wealth, entrepreneurship, goal-setting, and motivation will always be hot topics in my life and I can hardly get enough. Burt Goldman is a treasure -- more Burt would be wonderful. MEMEs is fascinating and worth checking into. Thanks for all you do at FinerMinds. Each of you are truly blessed.

Gravatar image Laurie says 5 months, 1 week ago

... and, how to stop the sub-conscious sabotage.

Gravatar image Lisa Hallman says 5 months, 1 week ago

I like to see more on entrepreneurship and wealth, along with more focused articles on LOA. Like LOA and weight loss, or LOA and business.

Gravatar image Tim Wright says 5 months, 1 week ago

I'd like to read and learn more on the meaning of dreams and how to remember and interpret them. Other than that, I like the mixed content just as it is.

Thanks

Gravatar image kwabena says 5 months, 1 week ago

Hi,

Kindly give me more exercise on body & healing as well as meditation & visualization.

I need bodily healing.I also want to see myself rich,prospering,blessed and in a wonderfull relationship.

Please show me how to visualize these blessings into my life.

Gravatar image Edie Kay says 5 months, 1 week ago

I LOVE what you are already doing with this website and the content is so helpful.

What I miss (or maybe can't find anymore) is the videos. Last month, there were several featured videos (one by Tony Robbins, one by another individual on children and education, and others as well).

I was looking forward to a new set of videos and either they are no longer there, or have moved to a different spot on the website. Since this is only my second month, I just may need help navigating my way around~

Incredible work you do~
Thank you~

Hello Vishen,
Congrats for the growth you are achieving at Finer Minds. Its said in the philosophy ' the more you give, more you get back'. Thanks for the knowledge and information you have shared with me. I'm inclined towards meditation and visualisation exercises.
The interviews on Remote viewing, and Arjun's interview was very informative.
well, all- in- all the blend of different topics make an interesting reading. Kep it up.
Shankar

Gravatar image natasha sawlani says 5 months, 1 week ago

Dear Vishen, i would agree partially with kimberly's comments and totally with alex.
After we have signed up we get so many links that we dont necessary want to get into. Your introduction to any topic should be a little more lenghty so when one is buying the course one is quite sure what one is getting . I also think the subject column should clearly state what the topic is about.
if you are teaching meditation then you should complete it and not leave us hanging. eg.Going Within. it was excellent but how do i go into the next level. Your newsletters are very informative and you are doing a great job. Keep it up. As we are all into personal development, all your topics are excellent but please dont "touch and go".
Natasha

Gravatar image Karen says 5 months ago

1. Would you like more on body and healing? - Yes. There are so many myths and falsehoods, we need more information.

2. Do you want more articles on parenting? Always good for some, but not my topic at this time.

3. Would you like to see more on spiritual growth? Absolutely!

4. Or would you rather read about wealth, entrepreneurship, goal-setting, and motivation? Unless it is new info, not really.

5. How about love and relationships? Another good topic for nearly all of us.

6.Would you like more on meditation and visualization exercises? Absolutely, if you have new angles to bring to us.

New readers need access to past issues, and steady/long-time readers need new information and new ideas to chew on.

So, keep on keepin' on :)

Gravatar image Nightwriter says 5 months ago

I am brand new to Finer Minds, having just discovered it. The Law of Attraction and articles like that are what interest me the most. Thank you.

Gravatar image richard says 4 months, 4 weeks ago

you know what i would like to see, more on spiritual growth, you guys are so close to the brink of the most real thing in the world, the reality of all that is good, and i must say, at the risk of sounding like a Christian Fanatic, you could speak more about the joy that is found in Christ, because so far a lot of what you guys have discovered is stuff that God in his eternal glory put out their to lead the world to him.

God bless

Gravatar image Child says 4 months, 4 weeks ago

i must agree with Richard, you guys are close

Gravatar image Pat says 4 months, 2 weeks ago

I agree that most of your topics are too short and send us to the commercial sites to buy something. I understand that people need to earn a living, so I'm not too upset about it. But some of the links seem to lead to a myriad of sites all designed to get you to purchase something.
I'm very scientific, so I really need to get VERY BASIC HELP with the meditation/visualization. I got into this to try to heal myself of an annoying problem, but so far, nothing I've bought seems to lead me to that. And, like Jane, I'm usually so busy that by the time I try the meditation "tapes", I end up fallilng asleep instead of concentrating on the process.
I do like the variety of the offerings. Just wish it was easier to get some results. [sigh]
