Hi JackiMSeiWell,

Welcome to your first issue of The Soul Hacker Ezine. I’m Janet-Lee Halish, the founder of Gratitude Road and the Creator of The Soul Hacker Ezine. I’m so excited about using this ezine to communicate with you and help you along your journey. Each month, you will learn something new to help you grow, clear out the toxic waste in your spirit, mind & body, which will provide you with the a unique set of keys to help you unlock your resistance to love, light and happiness.

My passion is to help you realize more love, light and happiness in your life.

Working with thousands of people just like you, I have discovered that when the time is right, transformation is instantaneous. Healing must always include spirit, mind and body. What happens to most people is that they think their healing is complete when they address it on only one or two levels. The real key is to be sure the healing takes place on ALL levels.

The fact that this Ezine is called “The Soul Hacker” at first might elicit an uncomfortable response from you. When I first contemplated using it, I too was put off by it’s potential to conjure violent (CSI like) images and thoughts of a malicious computer expert, who breaks into systems and re-arranges it’s functionality, maybe even imbedding virus codes.

But as with all things there is a yin and yang.

According to the Hacker dictionary there are actually “hackers and crackers”. Unlike a cracker who is malicious, hackers are enthusiastic experts who can explore systems and stretch their capabilities, can get in and out of the operating system quickly and they enjoy the challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations and barriers, finding and repairing weaknesses so that the computer works more effectively. Coming from that definition “the Soul hacker is an appropriate title for this Ezine.

I am to your souls’ internal operating system – what a hacker is to a computer. All of my work is done under the guidance of spirit in light and love, with your permission and knowledge and together I help you to break through the barriers, resistance, limitations and viruses in your spirit, mind and body that sabotage and prevent you from creating the life that you want and deserve.

In Love and Light,


Janet-Lee Halish

Your 1st Gratitude Road Key:
3 Quick Tips to Creating Magic in Your Life
By Janet-Lee Halish

There is no beginning or end to any of us. Energetically we are all one. Energy cannot be created or destroyed – it just is. As a result, whatever one person does will affect everyone else forever. That’s a BIG BOLD statement, but it is truth. Once we each realize this fact and live by it, then we will see a lasting positive change for ourselves and humanity.

All wounds occur in our spiritual body. When we are not connected to Spirit/God/Universal Source (they’re all the same) then we are not fully able to connect to Self or Others.

The easiest way to connect to Spirit is to be in a state of Gratitude. Most people who practice Gratitude do so when things are going well. A critical key to unlocking resistance is to be grateful regardless of how things are going. To be grateful when money your is tight, you’ve just found out that you’re being laid off, your child has been diagnosed with an illness – those are the real tests of gratitude.

Here are 3 ways to develop conscious gratitude:

1. Daily Gratitude Practice – Two minutes each night before you fall asleep – think about each thing that occurred during your day. For example, you went to work, your child came home safely from school, your car had a flat tire, you had a late start out of the house, a friend called, you forgot a doctor appt, you made a great sale, you lost your car keys etc.

When each thought and image comes to mind, take a moment and think about being grateful. You will notice that it’s easy to feel gratitude for some of these events, while finding reason(s) to be grateful for a flat tire for example will challenge your ability to feel gratitude. Growth comes from being outside your comfort zone. It is important to take those challenges in your life and find gratitude.

What if your flat tire prevented you from getting a ticket on your way to work, or while you were waiting for the tire to be changed, you had a great conversation with another customer (a stranger) someone who because of you -had their day made. When you are fully in the moment and grateful your awareness broadens and opportunities are revealed.

2. Grounding Practice – Grounding is the practice of centering your spirit-mind-body so that you feel connected and peaceful. Many people use meditation as a grounding practice, while others ground into the earth. In Mediation the grounding is directed from the mind up or out to Spirit while Earth grounding is directed from the feet into the core of the Earth. Your body similar to a lightning rod has two ends and to be truly grounded you must ground at both ends so that you are not losing your energy. The best and easiest way that I’ve found to ground is:

  • Stand with your feet shoulder width apart
  • Focus on breathing – from the abdomen – in slow, steady breaths
  • Slightly bend knees
  • Drop your Sacrum (hip region-tucking your tailbone) toward the earth
  • As you exhale send your thoughts of love and gratitude out through your heart and up
  • On the inhale breath you will direct those same thoughts down through the Crown Chakra (top of the head). This circular motion will connect you up and out toward Spirit without causing you to lose your own energy. When you feel connected move on to the next step.
  • Direct your exhale and energy into Mother Earth. Feel as if your feet are growing roots which easily travel through the many layers and anchor at the core of the earth.
  • Once anchored to the earth, mentally trace that line of energy back up into your feet and into your body thereby maximizing your own energy potential.

The power of this exercise will improve with each session. Take your time; stay positive, it is an easy and graceful experience. If you find resistance, impatience or anything other than love and gratitude - STOP- and come back to it at another time. With practice, grounding can be accomplished in a few minutes.

3. Be an Observer in your Life – Take notice of those moments, people, places or things that cause you to feel any emotion that is not positive. The goal is to be in flow. When you are in flow, grateful and grounded you are always connected to God/Spirit/Universal Source. The act of awareness alone will bring about changes in your emotional responses to that which you are observing. Focus your attention to replicating positive emotions in your life.

Follow these simple tips and your Gratitude Practice will become more spontaneous. You will soon find that you are in gratitude, grounded, in flow and connected to Spirit 24/7. This is how to hack into your own soul and to create magic in your own life.

Here is an example of how using these tips can bring you wonderful experiences.

Today, because I was aware, grounded and grateful I was able to see the blessing that 2 beautiful yet lost chocolate labs made there way to my home. As there feet tangled in the computer cords on my desk- and equipment almost went flying through the air, and I am slobbered from head to toe I laughed and experienced pure joy; even though I had a deadline for this ezine.

So, for a few hours my dog needs were met and Choco and his sister were safe and had plenty of water and toys to play with. Since the passing of my dog Taylor, Spirit finds the most amazing ways for me to get “dog lovin’”. The last time this happened was a few months ago. While running errands, my car got a flat tire and my cell phone was at home (something that I never do), so instead of calling road repair, I drove to a nearby tire shop, one that I’ve never used. Instead of being upset – I counted the blessings in getting this flat tire. For example, I wasn’t on the highway driving 75mph and there was a tire store open at 6pm on a Saturday night. When I got to the tire store my reward was a customer and her beautiful Rottweiler. So for the next hour or so, I gave and received unconditional love.

Pay attention in your own life and see how being grateful, grounded and paying attention will bring you great rewards.

"Janet's Work Is Amazing!"

"In one session, she successfully helped me release a significant negative attachment to a specific person. I had been working on healing from this relationship for years and the work that I did with Janet got me lasting results. This person actually called me as Janet said she would, and when I saw her a couple of months later for the first time in four years, what a transformation!

We were both the same people, but we were no longer connected negatively, and after 15 years of estrangement, we both had a really positive experience. That positive experience continues to last and grow as we continue to communicate by phone. I can finally work on rebuilding my relationship with this person. Janet helped me do what I could not do by myself. I highly recommend her!"

One year later she’d implemented the chair massage internship program at the Lego Corporation Employee Wellness Program in Enfield, CT. Janet was also instrumental in the office re-design for the U.S. headquarters of a German software company based upon Feng Shui and energetic flow principles. The changes she implemented resulted in the location posting the highest quarterly profits in the history of the company for all divisions worldwide.

By 1998 she earned a diploma in Massage Therapy from the Connecticut Center of Massage Therapy and passed her National Boards. Since then, Janet has been trained in Usui Reiki, Bach Flower Essences, Christa Healing, Chakra Balancing, Somatic Movement Therapy, Cranial Therapy, Activated Isolated Stretching, Crystal Therapy, Qi-gong and Natural Health and Healing.
Janet-Lee has gone on to co-create a successful holistic healing practice and the first flotation center in her region in the Southwest. In the first year this company outgrew their physical space 3 times due to high demand for services. She has served on the steering committee of One in Spirit, a local holistic community of 100+ members, and has a thriving practice as an energy healer.
Today, Janet assists people to re-connect with Spirit and Self and helps them “unlock their resistance to love, light and happiness.”

How we are doing it each day here 4Rchildrensfutures

 

Hi, everyone, it's Sunday and I'm taking some time off later to get to do something I haven't had time to do in a long time.  I was actually going to take the whole day off and not send a blog out at all yet as it goes while checking email I got an update on one of the affiliates set up for number one daughter.

After listening to this person again it was inspiring enough to make me send out a short message about him plus to put #one's site address back up.  Haven't done that in a while with all the other promotions I've been doing for LadyJzTalkzone last month and most of this. 

Feeling finally like I'm gaining ground again plus using the microsoft Windows Live Writer that puts these blogs into 12 of the sites I have with one click of a button, has really saved some time, yet mostly just made it easier to do.  I'll be working on getting the other 8 working with this and I'll be so happy.

So to get to the purpose I am inviting you all to stop by at TTidd-ENTER-prize
and the page that opens is for Michael Rasmussen who is one of the guys I really enjoy listening to.  He has a whole set of free videos you can listen to when you become an affiliate with him.  I'm looking forward to promoting more of his work though the online business.  If you are looking for some free advice, some great free inspiration, along with other things he has to help you jump start a list and e-business, check him out now!

Listen to some relaxing music then get some free from Mindzoom

 

Hi Everyone, just a quick one today and here's wishing everyone a great weekend.  lj

Get some free relaxing music and listen to some sessions for free! Free is good Click Here!   They have one ten minute one called relaxing dream that is great.  Just download it to your computer and take a break with it.  I love putting a few of these together and using them other times.  Sometimes at night when I'm not ready for sleep, yet it's time to do that.  Rather then lie awake with all those thoughts that tend to run around, just putting something like this in the cd player I can just drift off. 

Just wanted to share this site with you and let you go and get some of their music along with articles they have there that are pretty informative.  I have been focusing on sites that are not only empowering for myself and others, these sites are a good review of many things that I have learned in my lifetime.  Never had a need to memorize the stuff yet it is good to have access to some of the important things they talk about.  I guess more so as I bend towards that 60th year I think more about where my mind and brain will be in the next five to ten years.

Here's a simple task that is said to increase your IQ.....I'm enjoying these and want to share them with you in between real work!

My link to sign up with their newsletter is http://timyurl.com/4genius2happen  pretty interesting stuff for me.  Scary how simple these are to do.  Yet I guess there is the key.  Doing them on a consistent basis

 

Hi there!
And welcome back to your Genius Intelligence!
To begin, i want to say that i am extremely glad to see that you are naturally open-minded and keen to increase your intelligence. However, i have to inform you that THE SECRET to achieving a genius level of IQ will not be found in this e-mail. The secret will only be discovered by PRACTISING and USING the real intelligence increasing methods that we teach.
So, as promised yesterday, I want to teach you a quick method to increase your IQ. This method is great because it works!
I want to start explaining this technique by asking you a question that in turn reveals a great SECRET about increasing
your intelligence.


The question is:
What do you think is the typical human concentration span?
10 minutes?
20 minutes?
40 minutes?
2 hours?
The answer will literally gob smack you. The answer is actually
...........
...........
...........
7 seconds!!!
7 seconds??!?!? i hear you say! Yep, you read that right!
*******
Our average CONCENTRATION span is actually only about 7 seconds! (range is between 4-11 secs since it depends on your intelligence level)
*******
Prove this to yourself right now so you know I'm telling the truth. Try the following exercise:

1. Look at a fine and distinct quality of an object (for example: the color, the edge, the shape)

2. place your concentration on the object

3. As you look at the object NOTICE how your CONCENTRATION on that quality wavers to another quality of the object, within SECONDS.
You see, you might be able to focus your attention on a task for 40 or 50 minutes+, but you cannot focus your concentration on a particular quality for more than a few seconds!!!
Your concentration ability is the most fundamental "tool" which you have for all intellectual endeavors.
And here lies a secret to increasing your intelligence.
Since your concentration span is so tiny, if you can find a technique to INCREASE your concentration span, BY EVEN A SECOND, it will lead to a HUGE increase in concentration ability overall.

And the technique to do this is what I'm going to teach you
right now. Use this because it works!


TECHNIQUE: Pseudo Telekinesis (AVERAGE IQ GAIN= 5-15 POINTS)
1. Obtain a coin and place it in front of you.
2. Make sure you are in a comfortable sitting place and in a location in which you will not be disturbed.
3. Look at the coin from a distance of 30 to 40cm away and concentrate your full attention on the look of the coin. Try and concentrate on its shape more than its particular features. Do not touch the coin.
4. Place your attention on the side-edge of the coin and try and force all your mental attention and thoughts to be concentrated on that edge. By attention, i am NOT talking about making images or words in your mind. You simply want to force all of your concentration and mental energy on the
edge of the coin. As if you were forcing all your thoughts onto the edge of the coin.
5. You should imagine that the mental attention, concentration and your thoughts which you are exerting is acting as a force to make the coin move. Mentally push with your concentration towards the edge of the coin as hard as possible. If the coin moves, replace it with a non-metallic object as your emphasis here is not real telekinesis.
6. You must maintain as much as possible, your concentration on the shape of the coin by looking directly at it, but also by attempting to force your mental attention and thoughts onto its edge.
7. If you are performing the technique correctly, you will become unaware of your surroundings. If you become distracted (which you will at first), turn your attention back to the coin and doggedly attempt to maintain it.
8. You can repeat for any object of your choice, but a small metal object is desirable since this allows your focus and brainwave patterns to become more precise.
Other Effects of This Technique

1. Increased listening ability
2. Increased mathematical ability
3. Ability to sustain more complex arguments
4. Increased ability to extract relevant information from
sources
5. Increased ease of memorization
You should easily get an extra 5-15 IQ points on your existing IQ score over time. I recommend that you practise for 6 days out of 7, and for 30 minutes at a time.
I can tell you, the effect on your concentration will be MASSIVE. I hope you enjoy this technique.
If you haven't already, please have a look at the Articles Database for additional IQ increasing tips.

If you missed it, the link is here: www.geniusintelligence.com/articles.htm

That's it for today!
Next time i want to talk about a few more secrets about increasing intelligence, which virtually nobody knows.
Til then.....

Do you think that intelligence can be increased?

 

This was a very interesting article/letter and I wanted to share this with you. I liked what he says and you can sign up for a newsletter from him after you read about him on his site.  Quite a good story and really makes a lot of sense to me.  Enjoy this.   Jacki         http://tinyurl.com/4genius2happen

 

Most people believe that intelligence cannot be increased. They say that intelligence is genetic or that education is the key, or that you'll never be smart etc etc. But the truth is, intelligence will always be increased if you know how. In fact, did you know that simple techniques can increase your IQ to over 180?  I will explain this to you right now.

What I'm about to say might seem obvious but it isn't so please pay attention, and this will reveal HUGE secret on how to increase your IQ and intelligence

I'm going to ask you a totally 100% strange question which I bet you definitely 99% you will NOT get the right answer. This will reveal a massive secret about reaching the 180 IQ.

The question is:

" When you think, do you MAKE the thoughts you're thinking?"

...........

...........

Confused? Weird question huh? Let me ask you again then............

Do you MAKE the thoughts you think?

............

...........

Aha. The answer is actually NO.

You never MAKE the thoughts YOU think

Instead, you actually RECEIVE the thoughts!

Who would have guessed! You see my student, you are actually RECEIVING your thoughts from your SUBCONSCIOUS mind which is the seat of your intelligence.

The thoughts you have come from the subconscious and are received by your conscious mind which is the process of how you get the thoughts.

And there, believe it or not, ACTUALLY, lies the secret to the 180 IQ. The Secret Is This: By accelerating the process of how thoughts are received, you can have more thoughts and ideas. therefore, your intelligence will increase and you will have ACCESS to the hidden treasures of the GENIUS within the subconscious mind!

Damn I feel smart. Did you get it? Or do you need to increase your IQ so that you do get it? :)

So we we want to be using specific means to make sure this happens. One more thing, acceleration of thoughts is fundamental. However, so to is expansion

You see, to accelerate the process of your thoughts will give you a 180 IQ but also expanding the source of where your thoughts are received will give you a greater thought reservoir from which to think. So not only will your thoughts come thick and fast, but you will have GREATER BRAIN POWER because you have more resources when it comes to thinking!

And all of this means a direct increase in

1. reasoning ability

2. problem solving ability

3. mathematical ability

4. listening ability

5. memory ability

6. creativity

And so on. And so forth.

So would you like to be a genius? You know, your wasting your time reading this article and not ACTING to become a genius. Surely you want to ACT to get what you WANT, don't you? See, I once felt proud of myself for KNOWING what created GENIUS levels of intelligence but an idiot at the same time for not knowing how to PRACTICE to get that intelligence. My advice is to SEEK and you will find. If I give you it all on a plate, you simply wouldn't see its value.

Updating my SFI pages @ http://duffyscloset.com/sfi.htm and wanted to share them with you all.

There is so much going on at Carsens Services and SFI mg that I can’t even begin to name them all.  Their new online service store for affiliates is big now.  I almost liked it small where I could match the advertisement  within my jump pages yet alas no more.  It’s now part of TripleClicks and worth checking out. 

My first ad here if it comes across right is the Maxmall page which is still my best thing going.  If you like to shop online at main stores like Walmart, Sears and the likes of stores like that, then the only thing better is getting a percentage of that back each month.  Read on and let me know what you think.  Jacki

To start shopping, just click a mall category... or browse by store name

then come   check out me EyeEarn part of my business where I get money back each month just for having a banner on my car.  I do my own flyers now with me on instead of their person.  Just a bit more personal.  You can see that on my eye earn page at Duffys Closet. 

To check out the new store and all the stuff you can sign up for a free and stay a free associate as long as you want while you check it all out. 

http://www.tripleclicks.com/yes  and put
code no 10120099  into the slot so I get credit. 

See you inside.  Jacki

What’s on your list of New Year Resolutions

 

We could really go on about this one.  I have spent the last year doing so much of hunting and gathering of internet products, information, programs, guidance, phone-seminars, webinars, conference calls, I think you all get that picture.  I haven’t spent to much I think compared to some of the stories I’ve heard and read.  I’ve spent enough and even have a couple things I really don’t need yet the bulk of things I’ve gotten will be well worth their price now and down the road.

I was reading one article today about making that New Year Resolution list that really was the best one I’ve read so far.  It was about two people who have known each other a while.  One looked up to the other as a mentor and advisor.  The one who thought lesser of himself asked the wiser man what he does for his new year resolution and promises for the coming year.  The wiser man told his friend to go home and write two new year resolution list.  One with the things you WANT to do in the next year and the second of things you CAN do in the coming year.

The man went home and started on the list of wants first.  It seemed quite the task at first but after an hour he had produced a whole page of things that he wanted to accomplish in his life to be the person he always wanted to become.  He then set task to the list of things that he could perhaps do without having to change much of his life as it is right now.  A much smaller list and much more doable for sure.

The next day when he met up with his wiser friend they sat down and he proudly pulled out the two papers he had finished.  “Ay, Yes, I see you have your new years resolutions completed already” said the man.  “Ok, show me first the things that you COULD do this year” 

The man set his second list into the hand of this man and to his alarm watched in disbelief as without so much as a glance at the paper, he tore it into little pieces and dropped them into the garbage can next to them.  This man then said, “now, please, let me see the list of the things you WANT to do this year” as he stretched out both hands to receive it. 

The man carefully, while containing the stirring of anger inside at the total disregard for the work he had done, handed the first list over to the turned up hands of his mentor, who without so much as a glance down crumbled the list, as he had with the other, then dropped it into the garbage.

The man could no longer contain his anger and was about to express this when this mentor began to speak.  “Now that you have all these things that were cluttering up your thoughts out of the way you can do the one thing that will bring you the most in a years time.” 

He paused a moment then said “Love”

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
