Enhancing Positive Thinking with Card Decks

I love card decks. I'm developing quite a collection of them. I've got some of them in a little bag under my desk. When I'm fishing around for positive thoughts, I look through the decks. These cards are all 3.5" x 5". I was shopping at Aaron Bros. not too long ago and spotted acrylic display "frames" just the right size for these cards. I have a couple of them that stand on my desk and a couple more with magnetic backs that I have posted on my refrigerator. When I find a card with a thought that I want to work with and incorporate, I put it in one of these displays so that I can see it regularly in my environment. Doing this helps remind me to focus my thoughts in positive ways.

Here's a list of the ones in the bag:

Ask and It Is Given Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham). I did not take to these cards right away; but now that I am studying Abraham writings in a classroom setting, I have developed more of an appreciation for them. I have two stand-up frames on my desk, and both have cards from this deck in them. There's a statement on one side and an explanation of it on the other, which is the case with all of these decks of cards. You can find out more about the Abraham classes here at Mastering the Law of Attraction.

10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace Cards by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. These cards list one of the ten secrets at the top of the card and a thought related to that secret on the bottom. The back side explains it further.

Healing Cards by Carolyn Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso. I gave a deck of these to my daughter while she was recovering from leukemia. She loved them, too. They made her wonder, "Did my thoughts create the leukemia?" I told her it was possible. I then said, "The good news is that you can choose again."

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards by T. Harv Eker. These cards are based on the book and seminar. If you get a chance to go to the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar, I highly recommend it. I've got one of the cards posted on the refrigerator.

Success Cards by Deepak Chopra. I had one of these cards on my desk for a while, too. The back of the box says, "Creating money has to do with developing a 'wealth consciousness,' the ability to know that whatever you need is available to you."

Wisdom for Healing Cards by Carolyn Myss. This is a very beautiful deck, too. The "Eat Healthful Foods" card is on my refrigerator.

and my latest addition, The Law of Attraction Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham). I'm really enjoying this deck. The cards haven't made it into the displays yet, but I'm sure they will soon.

Surgery Free Gastric Bands

Here's an interesting article that came down the wire: Now We Have Surgery Free Gastric Band’s. It's an interesting idea, but I kind of wonder about the "reality check" problem. If the client goes around telling people that he had surgery, wouldn't someone call him on it?

Site Feature: HONESTe Online

If you've browsed my site, you've probably wondered about that HONESTe Online seal in the Your Assurances box. It's sort of like a Better Business Bureau for online businesses. The image is clickable. The service publishes individual "consumer information pages" for its members' websites. They have a feedback center there as well.

The service has provided an excellent guide to safe buying online: Be Safe Online! - Revenge of the Online Shopper. I highly recommend it. It has great tips on how to protect your credit. For instance, it tells about a great strategy for using an ATM card for making online purchases that can prevent fraud from ever occurring in the first place. It tells about safe password usage, phishing, and spyware.

John Cerbone - The Trance-Master

I joined HypnoThoughts.com yesterday. It’s a great resource for hypnotherapists. This morning, I was reading the latest blog entries and came upon an entry from John Cerbone - The Trance-Master. He wrote about how he developed his The Cerbone Butterfly Induction, also know as the Butterfly Fingers Induction.

He has a website at John Cerbone, Hypnotist - Cerbone Hypnosis Institute - Clinical Hypnosis, Stage Entertainment and a MySpace blog where you can read more about the inductions. You can see him at work here:

Welcome to Reflections!

Welcome to Mind Horizon’s new blog, Reflections. In this blog, I will be writing about hypnosis and hypnotherapy as well as topics in areas where hypnotherapy can be applied such as weight reduction, smoking cessation, self-esteem, and prosperity. I will be reporting on books and passing along articles. I will also write about products and features on the Mind Horizon website.

Right now, the biggest news (besides the new blog) is that I have moved my site from mindverve.net to mindhorizon.com. People couldn’t hear “Mind Verve” clearly when I said it, and I’d have to spell it for them. Mind Horizon should be a much better business name and URL.
