The importance of relaxation

No matter what it happening right now in your life, it is very important that you learn how to RELAX. Relaxation will help you EASE any situation and GOOD THINGS always happen when you are in a RELAXED STATE OF MIND. No matter HOW HIGH THE PRESSURE you feel, there is ALWAYS a way to break up with it, even if you are sitting at your desk at work, feeling overwhelmed by numerous tasks. If you are at home or in a place where you are free to come and go, I d advice you to HAVE A BREAK-RIGHT NOW: just by allowing yourself to have a break, you are LOWERING the pressure quite instantly. Notice all the tensions in your body...breathe in deeply, take all the tensions with you and LET THEM GO when you breathe out. Repeat this exercise until you feel DEEPLY RELAXED. Just acknowledging stress and tension zones can help you get rid of them. Ok. you might be sitting at work and the boss is expecting you to deliver all the work until 5 pm. You are feeling overwhelmed as the tasks are numerous and arduuous. Now just stop for one minute. Just enter into the breathing process: it is important that you empty your head now and just let a fresh breeze of air into your body...breathe in deeply, breathe out deeply...empty all forms of stress by concentrating on your breathing. Once you feel better, go back to your tasks...doesn t it feel MUCH BETTER? I bet you ll be working more EFFICIENTLY NOW! Each time, you are noticing tensions, start breathing...you will notice AN INSTANT RELIEF. At home I d advice you to do more relaxation exercises. When you come back from work, ALLOW YOURSELF at least 10 minutes where you can RELAX. There are different ways to relax. Meditation, hypnotherapy, visualization, positive thinking work, funny movies work well for me...you will find more relaxation tips in my self-help book, Unwrap Your Present.

Know yourself before you start helping others

"Nosce te ipsum", know yourself is one of the most important proverbs of Ancient times. In ancient Rome, people understood the burning necessity for someone to get a better self-knowledge. This precious advice was applied to doctors in particular. To cure others, you must be able to cure yourself at first. From a teacher s point of view, I d like to state that you will be unable to teach any subject if you don t master your subject AT FIRST. This implies that you become an avid student and first and then that you ll do some reflection about the best way to transmit your knowledge. As well as the blind man from Jesus parabole will not be able to guide another blind man, you must AWAKEN first before you will bring light into a community. In order to know yourself better, you must clearly be willing to wander through your mind and analyze yourself. Be conscious of your strengths, but also of your weaknesses. I d advice you to LIST them in two columns. Then, DECIDE to work on your strengths and improve your weaknesses. Another step is also to learn to love yourself. HIGHLIGHT your KNOW HOWs, your strengths and DEVELOP MORE CONFIDENCE. Master your emotions in a WAY THAT SERVES YOU. Use positive emotions for instance to create room for more joy with your entourage. Work on BEING CALM AND RELAXED. TALK LESS AND LISTEN MORE. Always put yourself into the skin of a learner of the school of life. Be humble: you can learn from anybody,even the simple minded and the tramp. Back in 1996, I was going through a very challenging situation. Sitting on a bank outside, I was feeling depressed. A young man, who happened to be homeless and a hard drugs user, addressed to me. He first introduced himself and then asked me: " You look depressed...why are you feeling bad today?" I replied: " because it is Summer time and I am unable to travel! He then disappeared for ten minutes. When he came back, he had a big smile on his face. He gave me a travel guide with the most beautiful destinations... He looked at me and told me: " You can now close your eyes and travel with your mind" Believe it or not, my bad mood disappeared instantly. I did this before I went to bed and felt ínstantly much better. Of course, it didn t solve my problem immediately, but it helped me cope with a difficult situation. Also know WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY and DO MORE OF IT: I know, for instance, that writing makes me truly happy. Being in Paris at a terrace, savoring an expresso also makes me feel incredibly good. Being with amazing friends and sharing thoughts raises my vibes too...it might be very different things for you, but be aware of them and make sure you are doing them even more! Once you will have understood your inside world better, you will be able to give some precious advices to other people. Explore yourself and let your light shine! Unwrap your present is a self-help book that will help you on your way. It is available at Amazon, Hayden Kian Publishing, Smaswords and Lulu. Com. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling

Kill fear and let calm set in

Did you notice that most of our negative habits are conditioned by FEAR? We all have, over the time, developed a type of habits, mostly through childhood conditioning, that don t serve us at all. A lot of them are due to deep rooted subconscious fears. Anger too, is a disguised form of discomfort due to fear. What is fear? Fear can be defined as FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Once that you start realizing that fear is an illusion, often created by your mind, through repetitive negative thoughts, you also realize that there are ways to overcome and even annihilate your fears. So how do I overcome fears, especially the deep-rooted ones, the ones that provoke self-sabotage, for instance? There are several methods that really work efficiently for me, so I would like to share them with all of you, in order to help you reach a better QUALITY OF LIFE, no matter your circumstances. The first step is paying attention to your internal tension and fear. By realizing that your problems are caused by fear and anxiousness, you will be able to ACT UPON them. Simply by making a FIRM DECISION to get rid of your fears, you are on the RIGHT PATH. The second step is to develop MORE CONFIDENCE. I d advice you to have a look at Paul Mc Kennas Instant Confidence book, in which the NLP expert reveals you some proven techniques that actually WORK. The third step is essential. You will kill fears by CALMING YOUR MIND and realizing there is nothing to fear about. Your world is actually SAFE. So how do you calm your mind? -By using breathing techniques, you will slow down your emotions and be more IN CONTROL of body and mind...five minutes of breathing in and out will help your mind and body to relax completely. -by listening to brainwaves and binaural beats in a relaxed state, you will improve calm and support your creative abilities - I started using hypnosis for mind reprogramming a year ago. Of course, I d strongly advice you to use mp3s or CDs made by professional hypnotherapists like Paul Mc Kenna or Kevin Laye. Hypnotherapy is very efficient because in a state of trance you are ALLOWING positive suggestions made to your subconscious mind. - meditation and visualization are also very efficient. I do use them as daily exercises. -chilling and having fun: watching a Laurel and Hardy movie, for instance, can help you relax better. -be conscious of your capabilities will help develop more confidence. The more confident you are, the less there is to fear. Now take a look inside: you are SAFE. Fear has no reason to remain in your life! Relax and let calm set it. As you start developing these techniques, you will create a more beautiful environment all around you. Go for it! More techniques are revealed in Unwrap Your Present. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling

Do not wish your days and months away, rather develop the will to be there here and now

Did it happen to you to be so much excited by a future event, that you wished to accelerate time and totally wished the remaining days away? It probably happened to you. It has happened to me and the final result was disappointment! While I do consider it to be highly positive for any of us to project ourselves in a happy expectation of the future, I also think that it can be quite dangerous when this future obliterates your present. No matter what is happening right now in your life, no matter if you like it or dislike it, it is ESSENTIAL for you TO BE HERE AND NOW. A few years ago, I remember myself being looking forward to a future move with such an intensity that I really wished myself away, a few months in advance. There was no place for the present any more and I was talking about this future so much that my entourage was even getting tired of it. In the end, when I reached the so much expected moment, things didn t turn out the way I expected them and I had to deal with loads of difficulties. But the three preceding months had vanished and i had no benefit of them at ALL. Looking back at the time I had invested in looking for my "better" future made me bitter for a while. Do you get my point? There is always a PERFECT TIMING in the Universe. You notice it when you grow plants in your garden or when you water them in your apartment. Wanting to accelerate things before time is like forcing the Universe for PREMATURE CREATION: it often leads to accidents and disappoitment. I know patience is a virtue we all need to let grow like a beautiful flower, so beautiful surprises will unfold on time. Be here-now. Be present. The present is really worth living, and even if there are details you dislike in the now, take time to FOCUS ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of your life. Enjoy each moment, for it is a precious gift. The more you will be focused on each single second, the faster time will fly. Time only seems long to the ones who are bored or who spend their whole time complaining. ALLOW your PRESENT TO BE GREAT AND YOUR FUTURE WILL EVEN BE GREATER! I gathered more tips in my self-help book, Unwrap Your Present. Like all of you, I am a learner. Life is my school. I got good and bad marks and I shared my experiences on the following blogs: Unwrap your Present Blogspot. Unwrap Your Present Webs. Check them out. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling

Tips to deliberate manifestation

We are all manifestors. We all do possess this wonderful ability to manifest things, whether we realize it or not. The trouble is, most people are using their mind against them and usually manifest quite the contrary of what they wanted. If you are determined to manifest something precise in your life, beware that anxiousness, fearful projections, nervousness and doubt are the main killers of the vision you just created. It is impossible to manifest something you are holding in your mind if you are letting the thieves of doubt, fear, and anger rob your vision. Try to accelerate and slow down at the same time: STATUS QUO is the result! So today I would like to help you manifest more positive things in your life. How do I manifest things I really want? The first step is ALWAYS to CLEARLY know what you want. The best method is to use Michael Losiers clarity through contrast sheets. By eliminating what you don t want, you will become CLEAR about identifying your needs. The second, often neglected step is to CALM YOUR MIND...this step is often ignored by law of attraction gurus and spiritual teachers. Even if you have to spend half an hour on breathing exercises, before you visualize your goal, I d strongly advice you to do it! Breathe in and out until you feel totally calm and relaxed. Notice that Dr Murphy, who was one of the subconscious mind s greatest specialists, always advices his readers to relax deeply before they enter into a visualization state. The third step is to LET GO...ALLOW THINGS to happen: HOW it will happen is none of your business. Go back to your daily routine and seriously, LET THE UNIVERSE TAKE CHARGE OF THIS! Be happy, cultivate your garden of happiness and you will see things manifest in front of your eyes. Finally ALWAYS, ALWAYS trust that the Universe will manifest AT THE RIGHT TIME! Happy manifestation! More tools can be found inUnwrap Your Present. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling

From granddad to grandson

Tony Klingsdale was lying on his death bed. He had become an old man and at 85, his life was an example of success to many people in his entourage. He was admired for the great entrepreneur he had been and for the flourishing companies he owned. Now that he had reached this point of no return where he perfectly knew he had only a few hours, maybe less to live, if he considered the huge pain he was feeling inside of his body that had been eaten up by constant sickness over the last few months, Tony knew he couldn’t actually cheat himself: he had his whole life in front of himself. A whole life had vanished like a dream, in an instant, before he even realized it. He was about to leave and to go back to what believers called “home”. But he felt he wasn’t ready to leave. He felt frustrated. “It is over, he said to himself, quite bitter, and I have missed out everything!” He had flashbacks of a few happy childhood memories, eating cherries with grandma and fishing near the lake with grandpa, back in the days…the painful memories were also emerging one after the other like cutting knives…he remembered the grudge he held against his brother who never paid his debts to him, his anger against a former girlfriend who became pregnant and then had an abortion of his child without even telling him. He remembered how he found out and how he slapped Melany. He remembered his envies, his frustrations, his days of stress and imbalance. He remembered that he never managed to be satisfied. Either he was regretting that the past didn’t turn out the way he wanted to-either he was projecting himself into a future that never happened…” Oh what have I done of my life!”, he said,“ I missed the point”…He remembered the numerous hours he had spent being angry about a weather he obviously couldn’t change! Of course,he was a rich and respected man. He looked prosperous-from the outside. Family members were sitting next to his bed, making worried faces, knowing Tony was about to depart soon. Then Tony asked to be left alone. He just asked his grandson, Tim, to stay beneath him. Alone withTim, Tony felt too weak to speak. He showed Tim the little piece of paper and the pen that were lying on the desk. Tim understood that he should bring them to his granddad, which he did immediately. Tony wrote something on the piece of paper, then folded it and put it into Tim s hand. “Open it when I ll be gone” he said weakly…” boy, now please leave me alone…” Tony felt an immense relief and he was immersed into a deep, eternal sleep quite instantly. He had gone to another world. When Tim opened the piece of paper he read: “Unwrap Your Present, life is a gift.” Make the best of your life-discover UnwrapyourPresent, by Isabelle Esling.

YOU ARE THE WRITER OF YOUR STORY ( Unwrap Your Present book exerpt)

Dear readers, Today, I would like you to "unwrap your present" while reading this book exerpt of mine. Enjoy! YOU ARE THE WRITER OF YOUR STORY Imagine yourself into the shoes of a talented writer. A writer, is by definition an author, thus a creator. Now picture your life as a book. The book you are having in your hands is full of blank pages. Imagine you are having this immense power to create each day by filling each page with a story of your own. Write an interesting story for each day, put into your page as many details as you like. Use your imagination to invent a splendid day of your own, in which you are the main heroes. Now imagine you are receiving all you want: money, friends, good news, excellent health, joyful news are coming to you constantly. Every day is filled with magic. Your pen magically creates what suddenly becomes your reality. Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Wouldn’t you enjoy to be fully capable to create the reality you want every single day? Spiritually speaking, this huge power has been given to you. Just close your eyes for a few moments and imagine your ideal day, from the moment you are waking up to the moment you are going to sleep. Put as many details into your ideal days. Now take a piece of paper or open a WORD document on your computer and write your detailed ideal day. Feel it, live it, as if it was REAL while you are writing it. Read it. Feel all the emotions while going through each point of your wonderful day. Close your eyes once again. Imagine your ideal day coming true. How do you feel now? I bet this visualization exercise made you feel fantastic, fabulous. You probably felt as if you were new born! I’d advise you to repeat this exercise every day. Fake it, until it becomes your reality. Mental rehearsal is the key. How do I heal the past? We are not all equal in terms of our past stories. Some people’s pasts are filled with good memories, while other people’s stories are full of hurtful events. - First of all, particularly if your past recalls some painful memories, acknowledge that your past is PAST. It is OVER. There is nothing you can change about it. What is done, is done.. Whether you believe it or not, it needed to happen exactly that way. You needed to be the person you used to be in this precise moment of your past. So be kind to yourself, forgive yourself once for all. Everything that has happened in your life was necessary to allow you to become the person you are now. - Ok, there are probably some episodes of your past you’d like to dismiss? Remember, you are now walking in the shoes of a writer-so just rewrite your past the way you’d like to see it. Erase the painful episodes, enlighten the beautiful and cheerful ones. Celebrate them! If you manage to focus on the positive episodes only, you have this incredible power to transform you own story into a fairy tale. It will help you feel good and keep a positive perspective. - Another way to make your past work at your greatest advantage is to look back at the good episodes, the single out each detail that you consider as a blessing, and develop appreciation as you are going through each episode. Now that you have been given the tool, you know how to modify your past and influence present and future. Think about all things you love, about your ultimate goal in life. Define precisely what you want. Relax and breathe deeply. Imagine that you now possess all the things you want. You are holding them in your hand. Feel it as the actual and factual truth. This is a wonderful tool to allowing things to magically appear in your life. Also, remember to take action when action is needed! Some people dream in terms of wishful thinking while they keep procrastinating when opportunities are knocking at the door. Now take a minute to think about your life. Describe all the positive sides of your current life. Use only good adjectives (magical, fantastic, fascinating, great, etc…) Use your affirmations in the present tense. “ My life is magical, fantastic, great” Celebrate what you just found out about your life! How do I create my future? A lot of people do worry about the future. Guess what? Their worries often come true, because they are based on sustained, constant thoughts. Worry adds to worry. The more you worry, the more worries you will get. Is that what you want? I think that you’d like a brilliant future, like most of us. So what can you do instead of worrying? The first thing is to do your best to appreciate your present circumstances. This is an important element that you need to take into consideration. Even if your present is not ideal, when you manage to get a sense of appreciation, you are allowing positive change to take place. Be content, think about listing your current blessings. Second, by thinking about your future into the present tense, as if it was already accomplished, you are allowing your ideal future to take place. Imagine yourself hitting the jackpot, visualize the whole scene, feel the elation, celebrate the victory of your achievement in advance! Do as if, fake it as much as needed until you reach some concrete results. Third, when you are acting in the direction of your dream, it will allow some change to take place. No matter how distant it might seem to you, take some small steps that will bring you closer to it. Now ask yourself: “What type of action can bring me closer to my dream?” “What is the first realistic step I could undertake RIGHT NOW? No matter how little this step is, write it down, then DO it. But do it now: not tomorrow, not next week. You have to act in the NOW to put things into MOTION. Tomorrow might be too late! Copyright© by Isabelle Esling
