Hi Everyone, this is the first “personal” blog post I’m writing.
I’ve been pretty busy traveling and meeting lots of fascinating people in the field of personal growth during these last two months, and I thought it would be nice to share some of my stories with you. Rather than limit this blog to articles, we decided to “open up” and also share personal pics and stories about our travels and our encounters in the personal development movement.
In this first post, I’m going to take you behind the scenes at an event that happened recently in Napa Valley, where some 60 authors and speakers came together to share best practices. The group is called SANG (the “Speakers and Authors Networking Group”) and I was invited to present on the power of using social media to allow authors to better connect with their audience.
The presentation was done to 60 people, but that group was pretty much a “who’s who” in the field of personal growth. The room contained more best-selling authors than you could count. Jack Canfield, Joel Comm, Chris Attwood, Cynthia Kersey and many many more.
What an amazing trip, in addition to catching up with so many old friends, I got to meet and hang out with some of the most talented businessmen, authors, marketers and entrepreneurs in the world.
Here are some pics of this wonderful event. And below the pics I’ve embedded a short video of the event.
Enjoy
That’s me at Napa with Manny Goldman of SelfGrowth.com in the middle and on the right, Jack Canfield, the New York Times best-selling author of The Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books.
In this one, I’m with Christina Comaford-Lynch. Christine wrote a great book called “Rules for Renegades” about entrepreneurship and personal fulfillment.
Below, I’m with the best-selling author of Unstoppable, Cynthia Kersey. Cynthia is a really fun person to be with. Her book “Unstoppable” is one of my personal favourites.
Last, but not least, this is me with Bill Bartmann, who went from homeless to billionaire. I kid you not. His mind is a treasure chest of knowledge about entrepreneurship and wealth creation.
Here is Cynthia Kersey again with personal development music maker, Paul Hoffman of SuccessSongs.com
A group of attendees having a good time.
And finally, that’s me enjoying some good California wine after all the fun and presentations.

This is fantastic! I would have liked to be there; I live on the other side of the mountain from where you all were (looks like Peju), minutes basically to get there. I’d love to attend if you are ever back in this area. Yes, see you on Facebook. –Kat
Very nice, thanks for sharing all this information and your Blog with us all.
Thank you for sharing this information. I enjoy reading many of your attendees and look forward to tracking down the books of some which are new to me.
But if you are interested in a unique and professional way to reach a warm consumer audience, I invite you to check out MyBFFNetwork.com. It is a business/social network that I created, especially suited for authors and speakers. We have a marketing system where business owner friends introduce each other to the people they know.
Vishen, your information has been so helpful to me, I’d be happy to arrange for you an invitation into the network.

So I am more than grateful.

Thanx,

Hi Vishen
I see you were with Jack Canfield recently. I have been trying to reach him for some time. We met at The Soul In Education Conference in Liverpool a few years back and shared about writing, evolution etc etc and am wondering, hoping you might have an address I could reach him personally on, or forward a personal mail to him.
If possible would much appreciate it,
in gratitude Guy Barringto at guybeijaflor@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks to you Vishen.I try to read all of your very informitive e mail.As my finacial situation starts to improve, I want to study remote viewing as well as the Silva program. Both are top priorities.

Dearest Vishen,
I’ve been hungry to evolve.
I normally am under such a tight time crunch that I signup for news letters but keep putting the opening and reading of them on the back burner.
I must have been spiritually led, or sensed to begin reading your emails recently.
As soon as I began I was filled with a kindred recognition from a deep inner resonance, of all that you are sharing ringing very true.
Many years ago I lived and studied with a powerful teacher in India for 16 years. I had amazing meditation experiences of tremendous love, and of the “One Mind,” Unified field, or what is also termed Akashick Records. I occasionally
left my body, Astral Traveled and saw the future,
but didn’t know how to keep growing while being uncomfortable with these experiences. I hadn’t developed in a balanced way and was underdeveloped, and unprepared for these incredible gifts.
I now after leaving that world behind me many years ago have stiffened and atrophied in my spiritual and intuitive posture trying to acclimate and survive within the parameters of worldly daily struggles to survive.
What you are sharing feels universally digestible. I hope it will help me to bridge the painful gap I experience in my daily contact with mundane life that has felt like trying to live with and to love sand paper.
I am very grateful to have found you.
Its rare to find an authentic messenger who offers
to pass along truths without distorting their content, intention and presence.
Acknowledging You With Love, Blessings and Great Gratitude,
Marsha
thanks for sharing this wonderful block with us, and again thanks for letting us know who you really are. thank you VISHEN!
Hi Vishen, I actually thought as much it was you doing the interview.(you have this malaysian accent…which a name as Michael Jura, couldnt have.)But great, you are a success, WE (the sindhi,s ) are all rooting for you.Loved the interviews , all of them . PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK…
Blessings and kind regards,
Nita
Dear Vishen
You know I have enjoyed all the remote viewing information and all of your e-mails. I will be ordering some of the dvd’s soon. Thanks for being such a nice person. Mary
Hi Vishen! I’m just curious…were you serious about putting something on the internet and expecting it not to get out?? Also, thank you for the valuable information you give to us. It is a very generous thing for you to do!
Vishen, i’ve been fooled so many times by so many people in the short time i’ve been alive on earth(40yrs). Your philosophies and your associates combined almost seem like another land of ‘make-believe’. It’s my inner defensive mechanism telling me it’s too good to be reality.
I’ve been following Art Bell’s broadcasts and have been truly intrigued with Remote Viewing since i first heard about it. I really hope i will be able relax enough to trust you and learn from you and others about Remote Viewing; an ability that we can all develop within ourselves if we our fortunate enough to get the coordinated unselfish guidance from a truly gifted leader. You know what i’m trying to say????
