[Invitation] Waking up is easy to do!

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:19:00 +0000

Wow, oh what a beautiful morning!

It was early, the sun was just coming up and I was outside practicing Qigong (energy rejuvenation exercises). The view overlooking the San Diego mountains from my friend John Assaraf’s home was stunningly gorgeous. I was doing my mind-body rejuvenation movements with my eyes closed and all of a sudden I hear this wild buzzing sound right in front of me. I opened my eyes to find that a little humming bird had flown right up in front of my face!

What an amazing moment... just me and the curious hummingbird, looking right at each other... and I’m thinking, really? REALLY?

The Universe was definitely singing out, loud and clear... GOOD MORNING!

It’s moments like this that really wake you up and help you appreciate the magic of life! For me that’s the beauty of this life... slipping into the moment and waking up, more and more every day, in every way.

Below I have an invitation for you... it's a way to wake up even more to the beauty of life.

There is an opportunity to learn this beautiful art form called Qigong, from a true master... as well as several other high level teachers. They will be revealing the latest cutting-edge breakthroughs around anti-aging, vitality building and conscious manifestation!

I think just learning the Qigong Secrets alone is worth your time because these gentle meditative movements help you SO much in this waking up and healing process. You simply focus on your breath in a particular way, with the coordination of the specific fluid motions, while you connect with the powrrful energy (chi) that is all around you and inside of you.

The practice puts you in an extremely calm and peaceful vibration... and once you are truly present to the moment there is an inner awakening that takes place. The potential for awakening is always there, patiently waiting for us to go within and re-discover it. And once we do, wow, such inner joy flows to the surface that all we want is to stay in connection with it.

Would you like to develop this ability? If so I have a very special opportunity for you. Yes there are DVDs you can learn from, but nothing beats the experience of learning from a true master of the art. A true master can give you the nuances that make all the difference... and being around their vibration helps activate that same powerful energy within you.

I know this to be true, from personal experience. You see it has been my great honor to meet one of these rare individuals (a master!), travel into the mountains to train with him and awaken even more. Now what I’m about to announce is very special, because it took me 7 years to get audience with this teacher. When I first tried to meet him I was turned away, because he had gone into seclusion. He lives up in the Smokey Mountains and very rarely teaches anymore. In fact I don’t think he has ever left his hermitage to teach at an event outside of his home town, at least not for 29 years!

Well guess what, yours truly has convinced this Qigong master to come down from the mountain and travel all the way to Austin, TX to host a transformation weekend! Additionally I'll have Law of Attraction expert Joe Vitale and other world-class teachers there to share their wisdom with you too. It’s really a VERY special opportunity, I can hardly believe that it’s actually going to happen!

This is a dream come true, to offer a such a powerful event with such amazing teachers. Joe Vitale is such a masterful teacher, and to get access to his wisdom is very “significant”. I will share more about Joe and why he accepted to teach at this event in my next post :)

Ok, all that being said, please consider this your personal invitation to attend one of the most powerful, transformative weekends ever. You are invited to join all of us on April 1-3 in Austin, TX. It’s a chance for you to learn from teachers who truly walk the talk. There is nothing like meeting them face-to-face, feeling their energy and the energy of the group, and learning their secrets to take home with you. Nothing!

This weekend event is called the Anti-Aging, Pro-Youthing Summit and the price for the experience is the lowest you will find anywhere. Three days of training (and it is training-not a convention with tons of vendors in the lobby selling you stuff) is normally $1500. I know because I have had to pay this much and more many times over. However, in order for as many people as possible to attend this extraordinary event, without any financial strain, I have asked the teachers for some big-time charity. Great news, they all want to share their secrets with you and I got the total weekend tuition down to only $297 for you!!

Please listen up though -- that deal is only for 100 people /or until March 31st. So if you are coming PLEASE be sure to sign up by March 31st or before these 100 discounted seats are gone. After that the price goes up.

Now to be fair to folks who don’t hear about this opportunity until after the Early Bird date, we have decided to not go over $597 for this event. That way this is still extremely affordable. But if you want to save $300 off the event right now then please hurry over to the Anti-Aging, Pro-Youthing Summit Website.

On the website you will learn more about the other teachers and the venue details. You’ll also learn more about the Qigong master I’m bringing in for you; you’ll be astounded by his accomplishments. Then just click on the Early Bird Registration link and get signed up.

Ok that’s all for now... please register quickly to get the discount and join us for an experience that will seriously change you life!

In-Joy,

Tristan Truscott
CEO, I-Grasshopper

P.S. If you’ve been looking for something that takes you to the next level of health, peacefulness and great joy, this is the place to be. I sincerely hope you can attend this weekend event. I don’t know what else to say except you’ll be blown away :)

Your Conscious Orders. Your Subconscious Delivers.

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 21:58:00 +0000

Let’s look at what happens in our brain when we visualize the future. There are two parts of our brain, the conscious and subconscious. The conscious part is the part that we are aware of, typically -- we think of it as the “me” that does the thinking. That’s because the conscious brain focuses on on thing at a time (whatever we think is most important at that moment) and constructs logical sequences: “If I do this, then this will happen, and then that.” The subconscious doesn’t think this way; it sees a complete picture of everything happening all at once.

Think of it this way. The subconscious mind is aware of the input from all of your senses at every moment. Every inch of your skin is sending it information right now but for the most part, your conscious mind only becomes aware of it if it is alerted that something needs its attention. That’s the whole purpose of pain in fact. That’s the subconscious mind’s way of getting the conscious mind’s attention to something that is a danger or is damaging the body. Because the subconscious mind can only do what has been done before. It needs the conscious mind to “think outside the box.” But in order for the conscious mind to do its job, it needs the subconscious mind to take care of everything else.

When most people think of intelligence, they think of the conscious brain functions. After all, it is the crown jewel of human development. Through its brilliant capacity for imagination, it can soar throughout the universe; through its astonishing faculties of logic, reason, and analysis, it can learn, invent, design, and grasp a staggering range of phenomena. However, it only represents only a tiny fraction of the whole brain’s function. The amount of information your conscious brain processes is about one-half of one-millionth of one percent of the amount your subconscious brain processes!

For all its brilliance, the conscious brain has a major weakness; follow-through. The conscious brain is great at imagining things and thinking them through, but it’s next to useless when it comes to actually getting things done.

The conscious mind is like the writer-director of a film. It can write a brilliant screenplay, but until you bring in set designers, costumers, carpenters, sound engineers, electricians, makeup people, composers and musicians, editors, and, of course, a full complement of actors to carry out the story, all you have is words on a page. And it’s your subconscious brain that carries out all the functions of every one of those hundreds and thousands of other roles.

So why is your conscious brain amazing at coming up with an idea but useless when it comes to actually carrying it out? Because it is easily distracted. The average person changes focus every six to ten seconds; the conscious brain has to struggle to remember more than three or four things at a time. On the other hand, the subconscious can remember billions of things in perfect sequence, not only for minutes at a time but for your entire lifetime. And, how often does it get distracted? Never. It is absolutely astounding there are some ten quadrillion different biochemical processes happening in your body every second—and your subconscious is keeping track of all of them.

So let me ask you, which part of your brain would you want to trust to deliver on your dreams: the part that has trouble staying focused and remembering a phone number, or the part than runs quadrillions of complex biochemical processes at the same time, twenty four hours a day, every day of your life?

This is why so many people don’t achieve the goals they set. Goal-setting is something your conscious brain can do. Goal-attaining is something only your subconscious can do.

Visualization Skills Worthy of an Oscar

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 23:01:00 +0000

In this video John Assaraf shares about how visualization is similar to Hollywood acting and answers the question, How Can I Feel Something That Isn’t True? At first an actor may feel disconnected to the character they are playing, their lines are written in a way that doesn’t feel fluid, and the character’s reactions to situations may feel inappropriate. BUT through repetition…through consistently practicing being “in character” they begin to feel the part; and their subconscious mind takes over and they become the part! The same is true with your visualization practice – your subconscious mind will take over and you will become what you visualize.

We hope you enjoyed the video.

Getting Kinda Deep there John!

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 15:19:00 +0000

Hello Grasshoppers!

We thought you might enjoy this little walk we took with John in sunny San Diego at the Torre Pines Natural Reserve. It was a gorgeous day with an impromptu moment caught on film -- it was shot while walking backwards on a dirt trail... sorry for the wobbles in advance :)

If you enjoy insights like this then you'll love our new Coaching Academy, where you get to take daily online 'transformational walks' with our coaches and students! We have 17 charter member spots left! Check it out: www.QuantumTransformationAcademy.com

Here’s what a few of our students are saying about their recent ‘transformational walks':

"WOW - with everything I have ever done I have never experienced the level of love and caring you, John and Sabrina shared on this call - my eyes are filled up - from every cell in my being - I thank you - I am confident that I am not alone in this gratitude. This is truly transformational, I already got more in use value than I paid in cash value - thank you!"
- Jan Payne

"I have been trying to refocus on what I would like for YEARS and have consistently been trying to do that with minimal results... I have gotten more results with QTC using all the tools and then a new tool of Brain Entrainment and have had more of a transformation in 30 days than in 10 years since I first started seeking more and pulling myself out of the darkness."
- Trish Craig

"I had an amazing transformation since starting the Quantum Transformation Course. What's amazing is that this is not my first attempt at creating change. For the last two years, I've been trying all sorts of things from Tony Robbins to energy healers and Reiki Masters. I met some incredible people who were very good teachers, but saw only very small and temporary changes in my life... I have made more in the last two weeks than I have made in any month since I started medical practice. Again, thank you so much! I loved the program and I am looking forward to being a part of the Academy.
- Charles Theivagt

"I want to thank you two for the wonderful coaching call. I found myself in tears of complete inner joy as the call went on. You two really care!! I am still in just awe over all of this and the week that I have had. I am so calm, patient and focused. My husband is ESTATIC with me. One of my employees even said something to me about how calm i am this week and how I am handling and dealing with some very stressful issues."
- Dustie Zager

"I've had some huge transformations. Down 10 lbs, for a total of 17 when I started on July 1. The AAV Ideal Weight track as been a huge help. Walking up to 10K training for the 1/2 marathon in Victoria. Now working on creating another $200,000+ to finish obtaining my chairman's award with RE/MAX. Did almost $300K in the 3 1/2 months this spring so this should be a cake walk. It is, a Good Life!"

Affirmations & Visualization Meet Neuroscience

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 18:25:00 +0000

Do you like neuroscience? Would you like to know more? If so meet Dr Jeffrey Fannin... world class brain researcher and board certified expert in neuro-therapy. Dr. Fannin is dedicated to the complex practice of mapping and analyzing the human brain for optimal health and performance. In a nutshell Dr. Fannin captures a picture of the client's brainwave patterns and assesses the electrical activity in each part of the brain. He then uses a process to identify individual weaknesses so people can train to improve them.

Dr. Fannin says, "Advances in technology and discoveries in brain science allows us to pinpoint individual thinking and behavior patterns. Using this information we can compare brain wave patterns to brain structure and train the brain to perform at its finest.”

Well we wanted to see how our Affirm-A-Visions™ would stack up under the scrutiny of such a world class scientist, so we asked Dr. Fannin to put the Affirm-A-Visions™ to the test. Here’s a sneak peak video with Dr. Fannin and John Assaraf testing the i-Grasshopper Affirm-A-Visions™.

Looks like more great feedback for the Affirm-A-Visions™!!

Dr. Fannin also writes: “I did some additional research on the Affirm-A-Vision from the data that we got at John's house. It shows some very favorable results. FYI, when my oldest daughter saw the video on your website, she bought one of the applications that has been very useful to her. She is completing her residencies as a nurse anesthetist in the operating room. She says she loves the application and it is helping her be more relaxed before she delivers anesthesia in the operating room. So there you have it! I will be glad to give you more information regarding the data if you like.” -- Dr. Jeffrey Fannin

Why are the Affirm-A-Visions™ SO Cutting Edge?

Each Affirm-A-Vision™ (AAV) contains perfectly written affirmations and beautiful visual cues of positive, success-based goals, all surrounded by special Brain Entrainment Technology. Within the AAV soundtracks there are two tones of different frequencies (one in each ear of your stereo headphones) that create a phenomenon in your brain allowing the affirmations and visuals to be absorbed much more efficiently. Because Brain Entrainment Technology stimulates different neurological pathways than does ordinary hearing, Affirm-A-Visions are able to gently guide your brain into a light meditative state; once in this receptive state the Affirm-A-Vision then rewires your brain with the new positive beliefs very quickly, so you gain numerous physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits... benefits that many people have been struggling for years to achieve!

Turning the Page to a Whole New Chapter

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:39:00 +0000

The way we perceive every event invokes a specific emotional response from us. That's why it's important to be diligent when it comes to "positive thinking". If you do affirmations and visualizations for a few minutes a day, but then spend the rest of the day responding negatively to what happens in your life, then the majority of your focus is going to be on the negative emotions and situations. When that happens, you are giving out mixed messages about what you want -- despite your determined and deliberate focus on what you want, you might continue to focus on what you don't want just because it's your habit. Through meditation and brain entrainment techniques, those old habits can be changed but until that change happens, there is a simple way to address this. Let's call it, "Being Open to Another Chapter."

Things often seem dire for the hero at the end of each chapter of a book, but then the next chapter brings new opportunities, situations and solutions that previously seemed hidden. The important lesson here is not to draw conclusions prematurely. When you "conclude" you literally "bring it to an end." It's only natural to want to do that. We all do it. It feels so satisfying to bring things to a close so you can stop thinking about them -- like checking them off your to-do list. However, the temptation is to think of those conclusions as CONCLUSIONS. Instead of just wrapping up a chapter until the rest of the story is revealed, the temptation is to think of it as the END. And then, of course, you have to judge whether it was "good" or "bad." But when you realize you're not done with the story, the pressure to label it good or bad is lessened.

This is illustrated in a famous Zen parable:

A farmer had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away.
Upon hearing the news, his neighbors exclaimed, "Such bad luck!"
The farmer replied,"Perhaps. Perhaps not."

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses.
"How wonderful!" the neighbors exclaimed.
The farmer replied,"Perhaps. Perhaps not."

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses.
He was thrown and broke his leg.
The neighbors again said, "Such horrible luck!"
The farmer replied,"Perhaps. Perhaps not."

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army.
Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by.
"How wonderful!" the neighbors exclaimed.
The farmer replied,"Perhaps. Perhaps not."

By not reacting to each of these situations that are out of his control, the farmer minimizes his emotional responses because he knows the tale is not done. By doing so, he stays open to the possibility that the best is yet to come.

No matter where you stop in the parable, there is the temptation to judge it positive or negative. But when you are open to another chapter, you see that the story is not complete. Then it's OK to NOT draw conclusions or have opinions about whether something is "good" or "bad." When you get the "knack" of this, you'll be amazed at how simple it is to maintain a positive mental attitude despite the circumstances. As a result of that simple shift in your focus, you'll feel better and find it easier to maintain a personal vibration that is more aligned with the life you WANT to be living.

Keep the YOU in Visualization

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:30:00 +0000

Everyone sees the world in a different way and an important element of Visualization is recognizing how you look at the world around you. When you visualize, you are projecting an inner vision as a real experience but the vision will only "ring true" for you if it matches the way that you actually experience the world around you. This will naturally be different for everyone.

Even on a fundamental level, the way we see the world is different from the way those around us see the world. Take something as simple and basic as color. This online test can tell you how sensitive you are to colors - the lower the score, the more sensitive you are. The way the people that score 1-10 see the world is obviously different than the way those scoring over 1000 see the world... and that's just when it comes to visible color! Imagine those that see slightly into the ultraviolet range or the infrared range. We really don't know what other people are seeing. Fortunately, for visualization the only thing we really have to know is how WE see things.

Most of the mechanics of how you look at the world will be naturally taken care of during your visualization. For instance, usually the way you see colors in your inner vision will reflect the visual color spectrum that you experience in your daily life. Sometimes you might imagine a glow around an object or imagine the colors brighter, but it would be a conscious choice if you want to highlight something as important. Otherwise, the brain will paint a mental picture that matches the pictures that you take each moment.

But some of the more 'experiential' elements of seeing may not translate to your visualization automatically. For instance, if you think "red", "shiny" or "sweet" when you look at an apple... that should be your visualized reaction as well. But some people see an apple and see a microcosm of the universe. Some people see an apple and think of someone that loves apples that they want to give the apple to. It all has to do with how your brain has learned to interpret "apple." So it's very important to know how YOU experience the world around you so that YOU and YOUR PERSPECTIVE are at the heart of your visualization.

Let's take a specific example. If you want to visualize a yacht, there are numerous mental images you can paint:

If you normally see surface details, notice all the visual and sensory details: the colors, the shine, the feel.
If you normally see things in relation to your relationships, notice who is on your yacht with you and how they interact and the part that your yacht plays in that relationship.
If you normally see how things are connected, notice where your yacht is anchored, what you are doing there, how you got there and where you are going next.
If you normally see concepts and "the big picture," notice how the yacht represents YOU and the role that it plays in your journey of self discovery.

The more "real" you can make your visualization, the more impact and power it will have.

You are your own best coach in this because the first thing you have to do is recognize how you see the world around you. By bringing those elements into your visualization they will become more alive and "real" for you.

So, right now, what do you see? What do you feel? What is real to you? And what is unique in the way you are experiencing it? It starts here.

Enjoy!

True Love? There's an App for that.

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:03:00 +0000

Two of them actually. One of them is designed to help you find (or attract) the love of your life, and the other for enhancing (or healing) your current relationship.

Traditionally, the symbol of the heart is used to represent love. That comes from ancient beliefs that the heart, being in the center of the body, is actually where your thoughts and feelings happen and where everything that goes on in your body is controlled. Today we recognize that the brain also plays an integral role in our emotional processes but who would want to give a Valentine's Day card with a brain on it? A heart is much more attractive!

But today, using our more advanced knowledge of the brain, we can combine the power of Affirmations, Visualizations and Meditation with the Law of Attraction to actually create your ideal relationship. There is no reason that you shouldn't be living the love of your dreams!

Our two Affirm-A-Visions™ that deal specifically with love are Attract and Soul Mate. Which one you use depends on where you find yourself at the moment:

	Attract Affirm-A-Vision™ You deserve a beautiful relationship with a beautiful partner. With our Attract AAV you can enhance your ability to attract the most incredible, abundant, loving and caring relationship you have ever dreamed of, right now. Once you generate the feelings you "will have" when you are with your perfect partner you will activate the Law of Attraction. Our Attract AAV will help you to set your mind and heart in the right vibration and send out the right energy to attract that "someone special" into your life.
	Soul Mate Affirm-A-Vision™ We all know how relationships can be the most incredible experience in life… OR the most challenging. With the help of this Soul Mate AAV you will be able to cultivate the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that are necessary for you to attain unequaled joy and happiness in every area of your current relationship. Use this AAV daily to deeply enhance your ability to have and enjoy the most incredible, abundant, loving and caring relationship you have ever dreamed of.

Whichever Affirm-A-Vision™ you choose, it's important to use it at least once a day -- but feel free to use it two to three times a day if you want to increase its effectiveness.

You might also be interested in our supplemental AAV soundtracks (MP3). The soundtracks are great at any time when your hands or eyes are engaged but your ears and mind are free to focus on what you want to attract or create. In an environment where it wouldn't be appropriate to do the full AAV (like to drown out a boring lecture), the soundtracks may be the best option. Simple slip on your headphones and use that time constructively to manifest your perfect life.

Interestingly, from the feedback we've been getting, the soundtracks seem to be especially effective when you are engaged in an activity related to what you want to create. For instance, if you are shopping for a present for your mate, slip on your headphones and listen to the soundtrack while you shop. Or if you are wanting to attract the perfect partner, pay attention to the places where YOU are looking around and finding YOURSELF attracted, because those are potential locations and times that using the more discrete soundtrack AAVs might be the perfect choice.

And remember, the power is all in you! These tools just help you tap into it. So experiment, play around, have fun because you'll know when you've stumbled upon something that will work for you. You will just KNOW it.

Changing Your Mind Can Change Everything

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:05:00 +0000

If your life seems to be going in the wrong direction, or if something seems impossible, you can often turn it around by simply changing the way you look at it. The tremendous effect that our beliefs and our perceptions can have on the world around us has been proven time and again in quantum physics, but let's look at some examples that illustrate it really well.

The first example is a classic puzzle called, "Where is the missing dollar?"

Three guests check into a hotel and decide to share a room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later, the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25 so he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to their room, the bellhop realizes that he can't divide $5 equally so, since the guests don't know the total of the revised bill, he decides to give each guest $1 back and keep $2 for himself.

Now that each guest has been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop kept $2. Since the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining dollar?

Notice that there is nothing incorrect in the facts presented by the riddle. Each step logically leads you to the next. And yet it leads to an impossible conclusion. There can't possibly be a missing dollar but our perception of the facts says that a dollar vanished because of the way the facts are framed. In fact, the first time most people hear this puzzle, they can't wrap their heads around it. But change the last paragraph and reframe the facts -- and the impossible becomes possible.

Now that each guest has been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The clerk kept $25 and the bellhop kept $2. That equals the $27 that the guests paid.

Maybe that example is too much like a word problem from math class to enjoy what's actually happening there. So let's look at another example -- a visual example. Look at this animated silhouette of a Spinning Dancer. Which way is she spinning? Counter-clockwise? Clockwise? Whichever way you see it, would it surprise you to know that many people see her spinning in the other direction?

Some people have presented this as a test to determine which hemisphere of your brain is dominant (right brain vs. left brain). This actually is not the case. Because there is a lack of visual clues for depth, your brain can perceive it in two different ways.

It's important to remember that neither is more "true" than the other despite how vehemently some observers protest that the way they see it is "right." It simply comes down to whether your brain thinks she is spinning on her left leg or her right leg.

If you are open to seeing her spin the other direction, you can try a couple of things:

Look slightly away from the picture so you can still see it but you are not looking directly at it. Now, if you think her arm and leg are moving counter-clockwise, try to see the movement in the other direction. It may help to slightly bounce your head in that direction as you try to imagine it. When you perceive a change in motion, keep that perspective and slowly move your eyes back to the image. Now you will see her spinning in the other direction, and it will be just as convincing as the way you used to see it. In fact, you may have to repeat that trick in order to see her spinning in the original way you saw her.
If that trick doesn't work for you, you may need an additional visual cue. In the following images, an "R" and an "L" are attached to her leg. If you think she is spinning on her left leg, focus on the image with the "R" and try to imagine that it is her right leg instead. Most people are able to change their perception when given this additional visual cue.

This visual example makes it very obvious that a small shift in perception and your pre-existing beliefs can completely turn something around -- literally. This is just an example of one small way that a simple change in perception can turn your life around. See it differently and it will BE different.

Which way does your world turn?

iPhone AAV, Video AAV or MP3 Affirmations?

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:57:00 +0000

Each of these products can help you make remarkable changes in your life... and each of them are best-fitted for certain situations. But don't worry... using more than one does not cause any conflict in the brain entrainment. In fact, many people are having success combining all three -- tailoring which one they use to where they find themselves throughout the day:

iPhone AAV - iPhone Affirm-A-Visions™ are ideal for those that like the convenience of mobile devices that you can take wherever you go. It also offers customizable options. Currently plays on all iPhone or iPod Touch devices.

Video AAV - Video Affirm-A-Visions™ are ideal for those that enjoy a larger visual experience. Those using laptop/notebook, netbook or tablet computers also enjoy the mobility to take your AAV wherever you take your computer. Currently plays on all Windows or MAC OSX personal computers including desktop, laptop/notebook, netbook or tablet computers. All you need to play the AAV on your computer is one of the many media players available. (Note: Our AAVs use the latest in compression technology so make sure to download the latest version of your media player. If you have any problems using your media player, you can download Quicktime for free.)

MP3 Affirmations - MP3 Affirmations are 30 minute audio soundtracks of our AAV apps and are ideal for those situations where your eyes or hands are engaged but your ears and brain are free. Also for those with more experience with visualization that might wish to make their own customized vision boards but use our MP3 to take advantage of our brain entrainment technology. Currently play on any personal listening device that allows you to play MP3 files.

The different versions of our apps were designed so that they could be easily integrated into your life and schedule. They make your own experience highly customizable so you can literally design your own self-transformation program.

Feedback we received from Gary Bartlett, who purchased several of our apps, shows how unique each person's transformation can be and he was kind enough to let us share his email with you:

I get out of bed and head straight to the gym where I do a half hour on the treadmill and a half hour of weights. I listen to the Ideal Weight MP3 while I'm on the treadmill and the Men's Vitality MP3 while I'm lifting weights. It's been working great for that. At the very least it keeps me focused on WHY I'm at the gym instead of thinking about all the things I have to do for the rest of the day.

First thing when I get to my office, I start the Millionaire AAV playing on my computer while I'm answering emails. I've also found that taking a few minutes before important business meetings to do the Success AAV, really sets me up for positive results. Sometimes I just have to grab my iPhone and head to the bathroom while everyone else is grabbing coffee. :)

Also, after work, I'll sit in the driveway for a few minutes and do the Soul Mate AAV. The effect that that's had on my relationship has been the most remarkable thing so far. Maybe it's just taking a few minutes to drop everything I was doing at work and focus on my wife and how lucky I am to have found her.

At the end of the day, I do the Meditation AAV and I've been getting a much better nights sleep.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. I know it's only been a few weeks, but I think I actually see a big difference already.

Congratulations, Gary! And best of luck in the future!

New Year's Resolutions That Work!

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:46:00 +0000

Statistics show that 50% of American adults make at least ONE New Year's resolution each year. However, 97% of them are not kept. In fact, 64% of them are broken within the first month. You're probably not surprised by that. But are you surprised to learn that it doesn't HAVE to be that way? If you understand how your brain functions you can use the way it works to HELP you change your life instead of trying to use brute force.

Trying to use will power and discipline to make a change in your life is absolutely the worst way to achieve any sort of lasting change because you are trying to use your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is responsible for only 2-4% of your day-to-day actions and perceptions.

At a subconscious level, you have established certain habits and beliefs that the subconscious mind uses as set points to keep you and your life in exactly the same place. It works exactly like the thermostat in your home that automatically picks up any change in room temperature and then makes corrections to bring everything back into your comfort zone. Your internal set points act like “cybernetic triggers” in your brain that detect any change from your current situation -- no matter what is -- and it overrides your will power and forces you to act or respond in the way that you always have. That's why you see the same results over and over... because they come from the same thought patterns and behavioral patterns.

These automatic triggers cause you to rationalize why you’re not sticking with your diet or new income plan and basically forces you to revert back to your habits and patterns. When broken into two words, the word “rationalize” really means “rational-lies”. Internal self-talk is just one tool of your subconscious to get your behavior or your life back in line with your mental image of what it should be. It's automatic. Its job is to keep you in your "comfort zone" -- even though it’s not what you actually want.

All of this means that once any image, habit or belief is ingrained in your subconscious brain you seek out and behave automatically with everything that resonates with that “internal image.” If you currently don’t like the results you are witnessing with your weight, job, income or relationships, you must break the old patterns and old conditioning that’s causing them.

Studies conducted by NASA have shown that it takes at least 30-60 days to re-train your brain's neural pathways. That's also the average time it takes to change a subconscious habit or belief. So, this year, why not resolve to change the one thing that you CAN change? Your own mental image of yourself and your life! Resolve that for the next 30-60 days you will re-train your brain and create a better mental image for your life -- one that is in line with who you WANT TO BE and THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE!

The quick and dirty way to get started is to use our Affirm-A-Visions™ . They were designed specifically for this type of brain entrainment -- maximizing your results while minimizing the effort required. This time next year, your life could be very, very different. So whatever method you choose to use, resolve today to let your life become everything it can be!

The i-Grasshopper Store opened for business this weekend. For an advanced peek at what is available before our official launch (which will coincide with the release of our iPhone apps), check it out here.

Which AAV is right for you?

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:00:00 +0000

You've decided that you want to take advantage of our Affirm-A-Visions™ to transform your life. But now you're having trouble deciding where to start? Don't worry. Like anything new, it can seem daunting at first. All the options and choices we offer are simply designed to make it easier for you to customize your experience... so you can start using the Affirm-A-Vision™ technology and seamlessly integrate it into your life. The only real question you need to ask yourself is where do you want to start? Which area of your life will be the first area that you focus on?

The Easy Method:

If you have several areas you want to work on, look over all of the Affirm-A-Visions™ we offer and see which one looks the most intriguing. As you look at each Affirm-A-Vision™, imagine that area of your life transformed and choose the one that makes you feel better when you're picturing it -- the one where you imagine yourself being the happiest after that area has been transformed. See how easy that was? That's where you start!

Work with that Affirm-A-Vision™ for 30 days, at least twice a day. (You can also get an audio version of that soundtrack and listen to it while you move around throughout your day if that appeals to you.) At the end of the 30 days, notice the changes in your life and the way you feel. Don't be surprised if the other areas of your life have improved while you've been working on this one. If you decide that you want to continue focusing on this area for another 30 days, feel free. But if you imagine that another area of your life is now tied to your greatest happiness, choose a different Affirm-A-Vision™ that addresses that area for your next 30 days.

The Foundation Method:

If you are living the life of your dreams except for ONE PARTICULAR area, then you might want to consider starting out differently. Having all of the difficulty in a singular area of your life might be an indication that you are fighting against some deeply-rooted beliefs in that area. In this case, it is usually helpful to start out by first using an Affirm-A-Vision™ for an area where you feel strong in your life. Use this Affirm-A-Vision™ while you become familiar with training your mind about the new way you want it to behave. Allow yourself to notice the positive, strong feelings you have after using this Affirm-A-Vision™. Most people that use this method, even if they did not anticipate this area could improve, begin to notice positive changes that they had not anticipated. That's normal. It's also common that as you focus on one area with an Affirm-A-Vision™, other areas of your life begin to improve as well even if you weren't focused on them.

Noticing these positive results allows you to be more open to the possibility of changes in an area where you might feel more stuck. After a few weeks, you can continue using your AAV to enhance your strong area, but start to work with an Affirm-A-Vision™ for the area where you don't feel as strong immediately after it. Maintain the feeling of positive well-being as you do the second Affirm-A-Vision™. Doubling up like this is a great way to get through mental blocks that you've built for yourself.

The Saturation Method:

There is a third option for you if you have a single area of your life that is a CRISIS situation. Go ahead and start out using THREE Affirm-A-Visions™. TWO that represent areas where you feel stronger in your life and then another one in the area that needs some attention. This option allows you the same partnering "trick" of the second option, but it lets you focus on the CRISIS area immediately and lets you piggy-back transformation in that area with the areas where you have less resistance. Use this method until you move out of the CRISIS situation and then throttle back to The Foundation Method.

Go ahead. That's all you need to start. Everything else that you might need, you can pick up along the way.

Enjoy it!!

How quickly does all of this work?

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:46:00 +0000

In an age of microwaves and the internet, the number one question that comes up is, "how quickly do self transformation tools work?" Fortunately, the answer is IMMEDIATELY! However, the question that is usually intended is actually, "how quickly will I see results?" And the answer to that depends on how "far from home" you have wandered. Remember the parable of The Prodigal Son?

A man had two sons. The younger demanded his share of the estate and set off for a distant land where he squandered his wealth in wild living. Soon, he had spent everything he had and found himself in the midst of a famine. Needing work, he takes work as a swineherd but finds that even the pigs eat better than he does. He comes to his senses and realizes he wants his life to be better and that even if his father disowns him, being one of his servants would still be better than the life he is living. He sets off for home and as soon as he is within sight of his father, his father runs to greet him with great joy, showering gifts on him and celebrating the return of his son who 'was lost and is found.'

The older brother's reaction at the end of the parable is the oft-repeated reaction of the young: "It's not fair!" The older brother felt that he was at home and a "good son" all those years and then his little brother returns home and is immediately showered with gifts, love and acceptance. One of the beautiful things about this parable is that unless you realize that abundance is infinite, and that someone else's abundance does not take away anything from you... then it is hard to understand how it can be "fair." But the point of the parable is that as soon as you take a step toward the life you want, it will take leaps and bounds to you. You just have to take that first step.

Abraham-Hicks spoke about it in this way:

When you begin to understand Law of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting.

What this means is that RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW is the perfect place and time to grab control and create your perfect life. And it begins to work IMMEDIATELY. But have patience because if you have wandered far, then you may need a little patience to find your way back. But honestly, it'll be quicker than you think. And when you begin to see results, it happens amazingly fast after that.

So don't settle for anything less than your ideal. And start today!

Meet Our Team: Tristan Truscott

noreply@blogger.com (Little Hopper) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:04:00 +0000

As a young man Tristan became involved in the Martial Arts where he began his study of the mind-body-spirit connection. After many years of dedicated training Tristan was granted the coveted level of Black Belt and went on to build a thriving Martial Arts academy with over 300 students.

In the year 2000 Tristan was forced to end his career, due to a crippling back injury. Even after 5 years of intense pain, $10,000 worth of alternative healing treatments, and an unsuccessful $90,000 surgery, Tristan was still unable to walk properly, let alone teach again.

In spite of the pain and disappointment, Tristan pushed onward, reading and studying everything he could about the power of the subconscious mind, visualization, affirmation, meditation, qigong healing and the law of attraction. One day, after years of research, trial and error and wonderful Ah-Ha moments, Tristan finally had his break-through. He discovered how to allow the flow of life force energy, combined with the power of his own mind, to reverse his condition and expedite his healing.

This exciting discovery, of how the mind-body-spirit connection worked, gave Tristan the ability to fully recover from the injury that had crippled him for so many years. In a desire to share this information with others, Tristan went on to create programs for healing the mind and strengthening the body, using ancient and contemporary mind-body-spirit exercises -- these programs have evolved into the Satori Method and his Life Mastery Coaching program.

Today Tristan loves helping people grow physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually; it is a joy for him to give back and share what he has learned though his life challenges. Since his healing Tristan has built a new martial arts and healing center with over 450 students, created the online Satori Method fitness studio and now serves as CEO for i-Grasshopper developing life enhancement applications with his partners John Assaraf and Sabrina Truscott.
