I watched Wayne Dyer on the PBS station talking about his new book, Excuses Begone!: How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits. This 3 hour presentation was a perfect way to begin my new year. Manyu Baby Boomers have excuses for not achieving their goals based on age. Are you using any of these excuses for not creating a better life:

• It will take too long - At my age, I don’t have time!
• It will be too late to change now
• I’ve always been this way
• It’s too risky to try at may age

Louise Hay wrote her first inspirational book at age 61. Wayne Dyer himself is in his late 60’s and still speaking, writing and motivating people. What is too old anyway? As for being too late - do you plan to die tomorrow? If you don’t, then it’s never too late to live a better life for whatever years you have left?

I think seniors especially need to read Excuses Begone. You may have spent your entire life making excuses for not achieving what you want in life and by now, after multiple failures in life, you believe it’s not possible to change now and live a better life.

What do you want to achieve in the new year? Do you have a medical issue you want to heal? Do you want to retire? Do you want to volunteer more and work less? Would you like to lose weight, write a book, have a more loving relationship with your family? All these things are possible if you get rid of the excuses that have been holding you back.

In his book, Wayne Dyer goes over the 18 most common excuses, sent to him by his readers, people like you. He goes over each one and helps you look at the excuse, and your thoughts about it, in an entirely new way. Using this new perspective, Dyer offers a plan for you to over come the excuses and achieve whatever goals you may have.

One of Wayne Dyer’s books, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, literally changed my life, helping me to be happier and have more loving relationships in my life. That was the first of his books that I read and since then, I’ve read all the others. They’ve helped me to set out a plan for my life and achieve what I think is important for my happiness.

The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Make your first step reading Excuses Begone and you can then lay out a blueprint for the rest of your journey to the life you’d really like to live. At our age, we don’t have a single day to waste on excuses!

Do you suffer from chronic pain or a serious illness or disease? I wanted to give an update on my experience with self healing using the Silva Method and other self-healing resources.

The Silva Method recordings really help you to understand fully the importance of taking care of your emotional health because of the direct effect it has, not only on your health, but on every aspect of your life.

Even signing up for the free Silva newsletter supplies you with many of the exercises and audios, including their famous Centering Exercise, which totally relaxes you and puts you into the alpha state quickly. The alpha state is where deep relaxation and healing takes place, where we can make suggestions to our very cells begin the healing process.

The Silva audios contain exercises and talks by Laura Silva which guide you toward self-healing but you can also use these exercises and information to solve any problem in your life, learn more quickly and easily, relax and get closer to your spiritual side and more. They are very relaxing too. I’ve been using a couple of them when I am falling asleep at night and I’ve never slept so well for so long a stretch before. Usually, I sleep really soundly for about 3-4 nights out of the week and the others are spent waking up frequently throughout the night.

I think what I like the most about the Silva Method for Self healing, however, is that the Silva approach to clearing is extremely accessible for anyone - and it really works to create profound emotional shifts. If you have studied the law of attraction, you know that creating a more joyous emotional expe4rience in life dictates our overall vibration, and thus what we can attract.

But if you’re a person dealing with health issues of any kind, you’ve got to at least explore this program. As I mentioned - and as you may know - this method has created powerful change in millions of people for many many years. The Silva website contains case studies which will boggle your mind in terms of the illnesses and conditions that have totally disappeared after people have used this approach to healing.

My personal story, in a nutshell, is this. I consider myself extremely healthy. I exercise several days a week, I do yoga, my diet is excellent. However, about 2 years ago, I began having a tingling sensation throughout my body, even into my mouth and face. Back then a neurologist could find no physical evidence of what was causing it. I’ve tried acupuncture - which helped while I was undergoing the treatments, chiropractics - which helped the tingling in my arms but not my legs, and just plain ignoring it - which didn’t work very well.

Louise Hay says we create illness and disease in our bodies for a reason, something in our lives we must pay attention to. The Law of Attraction books also says that we create illness and disease in our bodies through our negative thought patterns. Not that we ever think “I want to get cancer” but that a lifetime of negative, critical, unloving thoughts, take a toll on our very cells, creating dis-ease. If we don’t change our thoughts and create a more loving atmosphere for ourselves, our health deteriorates.

But, using programs like the Silva Method for Self-healing, we can learn to create good health and change our thoughts, taking control of our life and our thoughts.

I still listen to Louise Hay’s audio book Self-Healing too. She offers a 35 minute meditation for self-healing that is wonderful.

After I listen to any of these self-healing meditations, my tingling is less and I can truly feel the healing taking place. If you are suffering from any type of chronic pain, I couldn’t recommend either Louise Hay’s Self Healing or the Silva Method highly enough. Using these meditations, you can free yourself of chronic pain.

Everyone should take time out for themselves, to restore, to heal, to create peace and tranquility in their lives. Doing these things is not only self-healing but connects you to what’s really important in life. Do yourself a huge favor and at least sign up for the free newsletters and audios. There is so much great information there on self-healing and relaxation techniques that can help you no matter what the current state of your health might be.
