Thank you for subscribing and welcome to this issue of Higher Activation ezine.

This newsletter is a chance for us to interact a little more in depth. The layout of the content in this publication will see minor adjustments over the next couple of months and I need your input.
=================================================

In the last newsletter I mentioned a mini-course on the begining stages of the Cybernetic Transposition process. Since then, the authors of the book How to Get Lots of Money for Anything - Fast have published the series themselves.

So rather than being redundant, I refer you once again to the web site How to Get Lots of Money for Anything - Fast and urge you to sign up for the lessons. This book, and the process it teaches, is highly recommended (see my review in a previous issue of this newsletter). It is revolutionary in its approach, yet deceptively simple.

====================================================== Higher Self Improvement Pursuits along with this Publication have always been intended for those with a basic grasp of self improvement and personal growth concepts. Those ready to take their pursuits to the next level.

Just to be safe, resources for the basics will be listed from time to time as I run across sources on the web. One such source can be found here: http://www.psitek.net/index2.html

Simon Templeton at PsiTek Ebooks has put together an impressive collection of ebooks you can download which will firm up your foundation in matters of self improvement, higher mental functioning and even metaphysical insight. (The "adept" is also always willing to review the basics from time to time.)

Take a look at the collection at Psi Tek.

Higher Self Improvement Pursuits

And now, on with the show.

Article: State Management

I used to revere meditative states and hold them off from the rest my mundane life so as not to "tarnish" the experience. After all, I took T.M. back in the '70's.

The portrait of the Maharishi hung over the studio as I was instructed to lay the obligatory fruit, fresh flower and handkerchief on what appeared to be an alter (along with my check for the full amount).

I was game. I had watched WSCI and the tapes of the man for a few years at that point. I revered the state which the practice induced.

Now, altered states are daily tools used for all manner of endeavor from Photo Reading to online marketing.

State management is a way of life for millions of people in pursuit of higher self improvement, bringing all that we are to everything we do.

A few nights ago there was a full lunar eclipse. Such occurrences used to be portents of evil and / or good, changing the state of all who witnessed it.

State management... one of the hallmarks of modern (and ancient) self improvement pursuits.

State management can reach extremes... even becoming transferable. You could achieve a state of balance to such a degree that you can lay hands on another (or even from a distance), and bring the others' system into balance too. Healing.

When we hold a vision of our most cherished desires, celebrating and reveling in its accomplishment, we tend to heal our system "at large", thus bringing that which is desired into being in our world.

Memories of experiences that hold energies similar to those we wish to manifest could also hold keys to power.

Visualization in conjunction with breath control helps you manage your internal states.

Not just belly breathing or mere "watching" our breathe, but a combination of the powers of visualization along with rhythmic breathing. (I'm reminded of the "Flower of Life" program pioneered by Drunvelo Melchezidek.) This will energize the entire system and sharpen the mental faculties, making state management easy and natural.

(An example of this sort of "meditation" can be found at the main site under... Breathing Exercise )

Positive mental attitude used to be the end all and be all of state management. We now posses more precise methods, going from energetic, enthusiastic PMA to calm and confident, relaxed alertness (used for most accelerated learning strategies).

Still, one that keeps their head when everyone around them is losing theirs is considered an anomaly... disinterested, distant. "You just don't care!".

Sometimes its the "old familiar" that we've adopted... sometimes to our detriment. Wallowing in that which kept us safe from ridicule or abuse in our early family life has become our habitual response, even after having been proven useless long before.

When an occurrence has others losing their heads around you, consider the situation as unfinished. It hasn't yet run its course. When the dust clears, the ultimate result could be something better than we started with.

(Perhaps this is an opportunity to inject the situation with an element of the heart's desire! Especially if the desire includes the highest and best for everyone concerned.)

Greed and selfishness. Immature emotional reactions have become our undoing. These can be overcome with a new outlook on the power of state management.

States of compassion have always been held in the highest regard, perhaps because this very desire for the highest and best for all concerned carries such power.

The refusal to withhold judgment on a situation (especially with our penchant of prematurely calling it "bad") could be what warrants compassion for those so quick to judge.

Simply witnessing for just a while longer would reveal the whole truth.

To maintain a state of sincere helpfulness toward others gets you further than greed and selfishness. It is a harnessing of the greatest degree of power.

Take your states in hand and live the life you choose.

Make Your Own HGH - While You Sleep!

Have you been spammed with HGH ads? Read all the promises about the "fountain of youth", better skin, better health, less body fat, and all the rest of it? Worried about the side effects and what taking HGH will do to your quest for true health and enlightenment? Worry no more. Here's a perfectly ecological, doable method to produce more of your own HGH which will do you a lot of good, no matter what.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has long been viewed as a remedy for aging and the diseases associated with the aging process. Research published in the AMA Journal of August 16, 2000 links sleep disorders to a lack of HGH.

In an article on research undertaken at the University of Chicago, headed by Professor Eve van Cauter, published in the August 16, 2000 AMA Journal, a link was found between the sleep disorders in 149 men aged between 16 and 83 and the lack of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in their blood.

This lack of HGH was found to be a possible cause of "middle age spread" in the test subjects, and they theorized that the lack of HGH in older persons was a reason for the typical build up of fat and the loss of muscle mass.

HGH is produced naturally in the body, particularly at night during deep or slow wave sleep, and this component of sleep in the men was found to decrease from 20% for men 25 years or younger when their HGH levels were highest, to 5% for those over 35. By the age of 45, the research found that the men had almost lost the ability to fall into a deep sleep once they had awakened during the night. It found that by 50 years, the amount of sleep had declined by 27% a decade. They also established that growth hormone secretion decreased by 75% over this period.

There was nothing to link the reduction in sleep to a lack of HGH - this research showed a counter link - that less HGH was produced by the body because of less deep sleep.

How Deep Is Your Sleep? Research shows that deep sleep is dependent on "the state of the person as they enter into the sleep period" - or in other words, how relaxed and safe someone is as they go to bed at night.

Unfortunately, people in the 1st World suffer from high to very high underlying stress levels at all times and this influences of course the systems of the body as it enters the sleep cycles.

To put it simply, the body cannot distinguish between feeling anxious because there are 12 mountain lions just outside the front door and an unpaid bill or fear of redundancy, being nervous about upcoming events or worried for a relative.

As a result, it will naturally go into emergency mode - the lighter states of sleep which allow for rest but the person remains very aware of outside influences, noises and movements and wakes up immediately when there is any disturbance, bright aware and ready for action.

This of course is a most useful safety device where mountain lions are concerned; however, it was never devised for constant use, a lifetime's worth of worry and anxiety about all manner of things which basically *never ceases at all*.

As worries and anxieties and underlying fears are not resolved but tend to increase, one piling on top of the next and new ones being added as the years go by, sleep disturbances increase and HGH levels decrease in turn, making it harder still to find balanced states of mind and body and a sense of security *within one's own self* which are the pre-requisites for deep sleep - and more HGH production.

Sleeping Without Fear Now, and although the title of the article concerns the topical HGH, there are of course all kinds of reasons beyond this why sleeping deeply is so important.

There are a great many reasons for sleep disturbances and if in doubt, of course medical opinions should be sought; clearly however, being unable to enter the deep, slow wave sleep states because of underlying anxiety, fear and stress is the most common problem, affecting a large part of the population in many different ways.

So how can we go to sleep without fear?

Ananga Sivyer, author of "The Art & Science of Emotional Freedom", says, "I am sure that many sleep disturbances have their root in childhood and child rearing. Simply put, children are not designed to be left on their own, unguarded, when they are young and vulnerable. Aready then, being unable to relax deeply and profoundly becomes the normal order of things and it just gets worse from there."

As this is primarily a direct physiological set of responses in reaction to perceived vulnerability from the environment, there are a number of techniques to help adults regain a sense of safety.

Mind Control & Meditation Techniques Although these can do little about existing "background anxiety", these kinds of techniques can at least relax the body enough so that medium deep sleep with some incidences of deep wave sleep can be achieved. In turn, if this is happening regularly, a "virtuous cycle" begins to develop whereby the slightly increased vitality and overall functioning of the body's system begin to alleviate some of the background anxiety in turn.

A simple and very useful example is to turn one's focus from the problems of the day to imagining a guardian of some kind being present who will protect the sleeper; this may be a person they might know and trust or a guardian angel, a spirit animal or any type of being or creature which will perform the "guarding service" for the sleeper so they may really go deep and leave their body indeed, vulnerable and unable to respond immediately to outside stimuli for a time whilst they are in deep wave sleep.

There are many useful articles on how to prepare and slowly remove oneself from the stresses and stressors of the day available; also many other meditation and mind control techniques to "calm the thoughts in the moment".

The core component is to remember that the sleeper will need to feel safe and protected - what exactly needs to be done to make this so is essentially idiosyncratic and different for different people.

The other avenue in order to achieve the healing deep wave sleep states is to begin to deal with the "background anxiety" - the main fears and worries that underly everything else.

A great many people are quite unaware of their own "background anxiety" and how high this actually is. This may be a good time to point out that everyone has this, and it is not a question of strenght of character, being a coward or even unusual in either men, children or women in the 1st World.

There is an excellent range of meridian based self help techniques available today which calm emotions and remove fears and anxiety by working with the human energy system rather than in the old fashioned psycho-analytical way; all of these are gentle and userfriendly and highly recommended (see Resources).

In Conclusion All the seemingly miraculous effects of artificial HGH treatments, from weightloss, better condition, more energy and a better functioning immune system can be had quite naturally when we put ourselves in a position where we can begin to produce natural amounts of our own HGH again.

For this, we need to sleep - not a lot, but deeply. And in order to sleep deeply, we need to target particularly anxiety, stress and fear, both at bedtime as well as our own individual every day "background anxiety" levels.

When we do this with the help of the many useful new mind and body techniques available, we will reap not only all the advertised HGH benefits, but we will do so naturally, in accordance with our own bodies and without fear of having to pay the price of the side effects later. In the contrary, we are setting up a virtuous cycle of healing and improvement in our physical and mental functions.

Understanding how important it is to acknowledge, find and treat our fears and anxieties WILL put a great many things to rights - and without complicated diets, additional supplements or unnatural exercise programmes.
