The Hello Hand is a symbol for The Hello Movement

Well, I’m at it again. I’m starting a movement. I watched a documentary last night that was actually shot in the 60s and it followed the lives of a few of the hippies. I must admit I learned a great deal. Like many of us, I was getting my information about who the hippies actually were, and what their message was, from opinions and media that exist today. The thing that stood out for me the most was the statement, “these people weren’t concerned with themselves”. There was a lot of love and a lot of giving going on during that period of time with the people who chose to associate as hippies. We have created a somewhat different viewpoint of who the hippies were, and what they were giving, even those of us who are sometimes considered hippies nowadays.

I started thinking about how we are all so separate now. This became very noticeable to me when my son was about 3 and began talking with anyone and everyone he could find. It is most uncomfortable for me when we go into a restaurant and he wants to talk to people who are eating quietly at their own ’separate’ table or booth. I always get the overwhelming feeling that we are bothering people, and to my surprise, most of the time people open up and have a conversation, beginning with him and moving to me.

I want to break free of this unspoken separateness that has been created. I’m speaking here only of love. The kind of love that we are missing as a society. Just love. Read my writeup below for a bit about what we are aiming for with The Hello Movement.

The Hello Movement began with an inspired thought about the 60s hippies and their loving spirits. This kind of free-spirited and unconditional love is sometimes far removed from the current path of our own human spirits today. We have been conditioned as a society to become separated, not only from our fellow humans, but also from ourselves. We are continually striving for that which we do not possess, rather than taking advantage of the personal gifts and material possessions that we do have, and using them to spread joy and peace throughout the world.

If everyone gives, there will be no reason to take. If we reconnect our human spirits to one another, we will feel less alone, less empty and less apt to spend every waking moment searching and striving for that which we do not have. What we are missing is love. A high-definition television and a new car stop very short of filling that void we are feeling, but yet we keep trying to fill it with these material things.

The human spirit wants to connect. We find this happening commonly when we encounter another person with whom we have something in common. If you bump into someone who drives the same vehicle, or someone wearing the same shirt, someone who’s from your hometown or any other similar connection, you feel the need to say hello. We all want to connect, and we all feel the void and disappointment of having lost the ability to comfortably do so at will.

This is where The Hello Movement comes in. A symbol of communication has been developed and we aim to spread this symbol all over the world. When you encounter another person who is wearing or otherwise displaying this symbol, you will feel comfortable enough to shout out a Hello. This will begin to reconnect us to the pure love that we are meant to experience.

As the author of this writeup, I can already hear some of you associating hippie love and free spirits with all things that are frowned upon in our current society. The one and only thing this movement is designed to encourage is love for your neighbor. The word ‘love’ has many connotations nowadays and has been redesigned and redefined to associate with many different things. Taken from Wikipedia, love is “a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.” This love is the kind of love we are promoting. A kind of love that many of us can’t remember even exists.

The Hello Movement symbol is that of a hand, symbolizing giving, reaching, holding and touching, in all senses of those words. The spiral in the middle of the hand symbolizes our growth and evolution as humans on this Earth. We are here to expand and create. This can rapidly move forward as we regroup together and form partnerships as people.

You are welcome to create your own clothing, stickers, art, etc. symbolizing that you choose to become a part of this movement. Clothing and other items will also be made available for those who would like to get involved. Wear your Hello Hand proudly and give a shout out to others who understand the importance of reconnecting our spirits.

I’ve already created a Facebook group, which you can join here: The Hello Movement on Facebook. I think it’s wonderful that we are able to connect on social networks like Facebook. I am now connected with people all over the world and people from my childhood who I never thought I’d see or hear from again. I want to amp this up a notch and connect on a physical level. I am planning to start wearing my Hello Hand just as soon as I get one created. If you see me, Say Hello!!

I’m also planning to create videos explaining the Hello Hand and how you can make one of your own. If you’re not in the creative spirit, you’ll be able to get Hello Movement gear by checking out the Zazzle Store: The Hello Movement on Zazzle. And in keeping with the hippie spirit, there will also be one of a kind, handmade, upcycled Hello Movement gifts and wearables on Etsy very soon.

Say Hello! Leave a comment! If you’re grumpy and you don’t want to join, that’s ok, too, but I think you’ll find, joining us will take the grumps away.

Please share The Hello Movement with your friends! The best way to do this is by getting or making your own Hello Hand and by sharing the Facebook group on your wall. Let’s create a world filled with love.

Well, it’s official! Through studying and learning how to make my own vision board, I’ve taken the option to become a certified vision board trainer. The last of 6 awesome classes was this afternoon, and as soon as I create my vision board video, of myself training the course, I’ll get my certification in the mail!

I’ve very excited about this. I’ve known about The Secret and vision boards for a few years now. When this opportunity popped up that allows me to share this information with others, and get paid for it, I couldn’t resist. I knew this was the perfect job for me.

Since I joined a couple months ago, they decided to hold their first certification class to teach us how to be official trainers. These vision board experiences are held in homes, schools and businesses that are interested in the law of attraction and want to know more about how vision boards can change the course of life! Not only do we as trainers teach you and your guests how to make your own vision board, but we also explain why there is so much power behind a vision board and how the neuroscience of the brain plays in.

This is an amazing concept, vision boards. And the company I’m working for is equally as amazing, offering so many opportunities to change a person’s life.  If you’d like to have a party in your home, please contact me. We would need to find out if there is a representative in your area, and if not, maybe that person could be you!! We are currently looking for just a couple more people to enroll in the next vision board certification, scheduled for December 6th, 2010. (If you’re reading this after that date, contact me and we’ll see if there’s another course coming up.)

I’ve got all the details of the classes, the parties, the opportunities and the training. We’ve also got some amazing products and a membership community that offers so much free training, it will make your head spin. And if you love John Assaraf, guess what?! Join the membership community and you’ll probably get to talk to him on the phone, as he’s the co-founder of this company!! I spoken to him personally and it was amazing and exciting and I can’t even explain to you how grateful I felt.

If this whole vision board business sounds like something you’d like to be involved in, please let me know. Don’t forget, there a free vision board training available for you to check out. You can learn to make your own vision board with a free video training. Once you’ve watched it, you may realize that you’ve been led to this and you could really begin generating some massive income into your life. And all by sharing something which you feel so passionate about.

Why Having A Vision Board is Critical For Your Success

Vision boards allow their creators to bring prosperity and success into their lives through a visualization technique that has worked for countless people all over the world. The concept behind a vision board can be found in a very wide range of different religions, and scientists have given this same concept merit in the way it works.

Success can be defined as receiving something you truly desire. Within yourself and with this desire you can, with the help of a vision board, bring it to life and make it happen. By creating a vision board you are able to see, at all times, exactly where you are going and how you are going to get there. By doing this you, are opening up the realm of possibilities and sending out a powerful positive message to yourself and others that you are going to be what you desire and that success will be yours.

Creating a vision board is actually very simple and can be done in a traditional way via paper and clippings, or in the modern way which uses computer software to create the board. A digital copy of this vision board can then be carried with you at all times, making the process much more successful as you are able to view it more often. Copies can be carried on your cell phone, PDA, IPod, used as your screen saver, etc.

Depending on your own personal comfort, you should choose the method that makes you feel most at ease. A traditional vision board is created by the user from a blank canvas. It is then covered in images, colors and even smells that represent your ideal goals, dreams or wishes. Making a vision board by hand can be very personal, which the user then feels a deep connection to, making the outcome even stronger. Most people start with a traditional vision board before moving onto a digital version. This way you are able to experience this exciting and powerful tool that is critical for your success first hand. You can then move on to a digital version when you are ready.

The powerful imagery that you create through a complex series of pictures allows you to positively reinforce the goal that you wish to succeed. Using positive thought to attract positive things is, and has been proven to be possible. In fact, most of the most successful people you could ever wish to meet can all tell you that a vision board is how they got to where they are. By informing your subconscious about your intensions and how devoted you are to them, your subconscious will then look for opportunities that it previously would have dismissed. These opportunities will be made known to you and you will find in no time that by using a vision board, doors will open for you in the most likely and unlikely of places. So to ensure that your future success becomes a reality use a vision board because they are critical to your success.

How To Close The Gap From Where You Are Right Now To Where You Want To Be Using The Vision Board

If you think about your current situation, then you may realize that there are some things in your life that you would like to improve.

Some people would like a better career, some would like financial security, and others would like children. You may want a whole range of different things. Everyone is individual and unique. Hopes and dreams may be similar to another person’s, but the details differ dramatically. Finding a way that allows you to close the gap from where you are right now to where you want to be, using the vision board, is a simple thing that anyone can achieve.

Vision boards are fantastic tools that can help change your life for the better. They allow you to keep your dreams and goals in mind so that you can move forward to bigger and better things. We can make a difference using this board, and making one is simple. There are two types of vision boards. The one you decide to choose and work with is entirely up to you.

A traditional vision board is constructed from clippings of pictures you may have found in magazines or printed from the internet. These pictures represent your dreams and goals. These pictures are then placed in a collage fashioned to a board. You can also add certain colors that take your eye, spray it with scents that invigorate you and include phrases that inspire you. Power words that you associate with your ultimate goal can also be used to empower you in your quest. When your vision board is finished and you are happy with what you have produced, it’s recommended to hang it in a place that you often look, whether that place is at home, at work or somewhere else. Wherever you spend the most time is the best place to hang your vision board. Constant visualization of the dreams and goals placed on this board will ensure you get what you want.

The other type of vision board is made by using a software program on your computer. There are many different types you can choose from, but each of them will help you to close the gap from where you are right now to where you want to be. The concept is the same as the traditional board, but it is all done electronically. With this method you can also add music or sounds that you find will help you to better visualize your goals. You can make copies to carry with you on your cell, PDA, IPOD and all of your computers, so that you are able to utilize any free time. Increasing the amount of time that you see your board and allow it to  empower you is of great benefit.

Now that you know about the different types of vision board you can choose which one you would like to make. You can, of course, choose both and use them at home and on your portable electronic devices to truly optimize your visualization time.

Are you just satisfied or empowered?

Let me start by saying if you are comfortable being “satisfied” this blog post is not for you…

Consider this: it is possible to be fulfilled in your career, have control over the amount of money you bring in each month, to love what you do and to make the world a better place while you are doing it. If you have always believed deep down that this is true, and you are motivated to do whatever it takes to create that in your life (yet until now did not know exactly how), then this article is for you.

With the direct sales industry experiencing explosive growth over the last two years, the need in the marketplace for more business opportunities and the necessity for people to learn skills to better their lives, better their circumstances and empower themselves, John Assaraf and Bonnie Bruderer saw a definite need, and more importantly, a definite opportunity in creating a different type of direct sales opportunity.

Now, just hearing the words “direct sales’ may have conjured a systemic response from within. Either you have had a terrific experience in the past and know the true benefits that direct sales offers, or perhaps you have a different opinion and like some, fear the lotions, potions and pills that may have been peddled to you from friends and family members. Direct sales can offer tremendous opportunities, such as more freedom, more financial rewards and the ability to create the lifestyle you truly desire and deserve. I am thrilled that there is a new opportunity and I jumped on board with both feet.

No matter how you’re feeling about direct sales, let me explain how V.I.S.S. is different, and how by joining V.I.S.S. you actually can experience what it means to be in business for yourself. John and Bonnie have spent tens of thousands of dollars on personal development for themselves, they’ve authored six books between them, and they have combined experience of three and a half decades in the personal development industry. They realized that they have knowledge, experience and access to training, support and information that can not be found anywhere else. They also realize that what people need most at this point is a business opportunity, thus V.I.S.S. was born. V.I.S.S. stands for Vision. Inspiration. Strategy & Support; all of which you will experience in each and every aspect of the company.

The opportunity centers around joining the team as a distributor and learning how to teach the Vision Board Experience (VBE) to others through tele-seminars and webinars, in-home settings and corporate settings. It is the perfect opportunity for empowered individuals that are looking to supplement what they are already doing or to add to a coaching or training practice, but also for those individuals who are simply looking to make a big impact in the world.

If this sounds like you and you are wondering how to get involved, I encourage you to join one of our business opportunity calls on Wednesday’s at 5 P.M. to learn more. Only join us if you are serious about making a big difference in the world and your life and business. We are looking only for those who are empowered! We are looking for the first 100 Visionaries to join us at the ground level and are quickly approaching that goal, just three weeks after launch.

Visit V.I.S.S. and register for the call today, if you know you are ready to finally experience a different type of business opportunity.

10 Tips to Make Sure The Items on Your Vision Board Come True

Vision boards are a fantastic way of using your inner power so that you can attract all of the things in your life that you have always wanted for yourself and for your family. Everyone, no matter at what stage in life they are, wants to change something about his or her life. A vision board is the perfect way of making it happen! There are some definitive ways of making sure that the items you have placed on your vision board come true. After sifting through hundreds of different ideas with this in mind, a rock solid and powerful top ten has been created. So if you want to make sure that what you want does come true then follow these tips.

1. Just for you – This is one of the most important things that people do not realize when they are making their own vision boards. Many people often use images that they think others would approve of or of things that society tells us are the right goals that we should be striving for. Make sure that you choose wisely what you want and that each picture, sound or word comes from within.

2. Listen to Music – Before and during the creation of your vision board it is a good idea to play a piece of music that makes your heart feel warm, it will allow you to put aside your “ego” as such and enable you to hear what your subconscious is trying to tell you. It also allows you to embed the images into your subconscious in a clearer way.

3. Belief – Making sure that you truly believe is also important as negative thoughts will make the process take longer. Understanding that things will not happen the very next day or even maybe at first is an important part, so that you do not get disheartened.

4. Use Affirmations- Using affirmations to work alongside your vision board will super charge it with extra power allowing you to bring your hopes and dreams into fruition more quickly and on a larger scale.

5. Surround Yourself – Surrounding yourself with reminders of your vision board and your goals is very important, as it allows you to keep your mind “topped up” with the sight, sounds and even in some cases, smells, of what you want to accomplish and bring to your life.

6. Add mood colors – Adding colors that represent your goals can help in a fast acting way. It is said that certain colors help us to feel a certain way. For example; blue is known to be a calming color, yellow, friendly and happy, and red is associated with excitement.

7. Make one at a time – Having too many vision boards can distract your mind from the goal you are trying to achieve. This can effectively splits your visions and the power to make them happen splits, too. By sticking to one specific board, you make sure that the full power is on it and not just a slice.

8. Meditate- Meditation is another fantastic way to help you while using a vision board. Imagining that you have this specific life, career etc., and seeing yourself do things, helps to push your mind into the image, sending out very strong signals.

9. Make things specific – Too many different ideas on your board can create a conflict, and you will find that you become stumped as you only find part of each one materializing. Keep your theme constant, this makes it powerful.

10. Forgive yourself – By forgiving yourself of any past problems that carry any guilt or pain you are able to eradicate the negative from your subconscious mind for good! This is a pivotal point because without it you will only be held back. So give yourself a break, relax and let the negative past wash away from your mind for good.

I stumbled across an odd little book published in 1998 called The Wizard of Ads: Turning Words into Magic and Dreamers into Millionaires. I found this book hidden away at my local public library. The cover is intriguing and the title even more so, so I grabbed it.

I was delighted once I began to read it. Not only does it cover some advertising techniques that are helpful to me for online business, but it also contains many inspirational quotes that will really leave a person thinking. My favorite has something to do with how lucky we all are.

The author, Roy H. Williams, goes on to explain that he asked a friend who knows statistics to calculate the odds of being born. His friend estimated the total number of fertile men and women, figured in genetic possibilities of each, plus many other considerations. His results were this:

The chance that you, meaning exactly you, would ever be born are 1 in 1.3 times ten to the twenty-ninth power.

Translated, this means there was a 1 in 130,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance that you would be the lucky one to be born. I find that to be incredibly amazing and awe-some. Those odds are certainly better than winning the lottery.

Maybe it gives you a new perspective on your life?

So if you’ve been following, you’ll already know that I just released the free ebook download version of Hugs and Popsicles a couple days ago. This is a book of children’s poems with full-color illustrations, and the title poem is about how hugs and popsicles can cure just about any ailments you may have. Just today I’ve been further enlightened by a free hugs movement that’s being spread all over the world!

Not only did I hear about this campaign, but someone I know actually got to experience some free love today while he was driving his cab. He was circling the downtown square in Springfield, Missouri, while waiting for his next Taxi call, and he spotted a large group of people with Free Hugs signs! He said he pulled over, jumped out and was swarmed by people wanting to give out free hugs. What an emotional experience, both for him and for me as he recounted the story.

I am simply thrilled to know that people are banding together to change the world with love. What an amazing concept! These are people who truly understand that giving away love doesn’t take anything from a person’s soul. In fact, quite the opposite. Giving love creates more love, which fills the world with warmth and happiness. THIS is where we’re headed.

So drop all your stress, all your woes and get real for a second. Watch this video clip and if it pulls a string in your heart, watch it again. Decide today that you’re going to do your part to spread the love, even if it’s just a simple smile at a passing stranger.

You can also see more about the Free Hugs movement by checking The Official Home of the Free Hugs Campaign website.
