aware, you can also recognize when someone is attempting to influence you unduly and discredit it. You take charge of your life with more and more certainty and surety.

Q: Can I use this to deal the problems around me and my family, at work and
what I see in the world?

Q: How do I know if I’m doing it right?
A: Start with the audio “Gentle Guided Relaxation.” Simply close your eyes and let
time pass until the instruction at the end say to be “wide awake.” There are a few
guidelines on the website like sitting in a comfy chair, keep your ankles/legs uncrossed so you don’t cut off blood flow or lying in a different position on the bed than the one you use for sleeping. In general, your mind and body know exactly what to do with relaxation and will naturally take you to a light, medium or deep level. You can learn to direct it and use it for your own purposes if you take the Spectra Dynamics class on the website.

Q: I can relax with marijuana. How is this different?
The side effects of using your mind are all positive, energy enhancing and empowering. We are all biochemically individuated. Marijuana and alcohol “cool”
the mental endless scroll of self-talk while sugar and caffeine stimulate you mentally and physically. The main test is: How is your life working? Are you excited about life? Do you feel enthusiastic and engaged? Are you looking forward to accomplishing something? Are you curious? I invite you to use some of the audios and notice what happens!

Q: I’ve been out of school a long time and have to take a test to get a license.
Can this help me?
A: Yes! Working with your subconscious makes everything easier. You can use the audios in the LEARN Program in any order. You could start with Recall if you want to sharpen your memory. If it’s hard to stick with studying you might use Concentration or Absorption. If you find the material confusing, start with Discernment. Using Goal can keep you focused on a bigger picture of why you doing all this work, seeing yourself as successful and what that means to you.
