welcome!Paraliminal, as derived from the Greek para (beyond) and liminal (threshold), means “beyond the threshold of conscious awareness.”

Stimulate your mind with a Paraliminal recording to quickly improve your life and maximize your potential. More than a million Paraliminals are already in use by people all around the world.

Listen with stereo headphones to receive a unique, multilevel communication for each hemisphere of the brain–all without subliminal messages. You’ll hear a variety of messages coming into each ear in a soothing, effective, and pleasurable way.

As you listen, choose which message to attend, or float down the middle between the voices. From time to time your attention will switch, causing you to perceive the recording differently with each listening. BUT, your nonconscious mind receives and processes the entire message each time, which is part of the effectiveness and beauty of Paraliminal technology.

On a very deep level you will be learning strategies to help you respond differently in the world so that you get the results you want. That’s the source of the name of our company, Learning Strategies Corporation.

More information on how Paraliminals work can be found at www.LearningStrategies.com/Paraliminal.

tips and insights• Create quiet time to focus inwardly. Choose an environment relatively

free from distractions. Sit comfortably or recline. You will receive minimal benefit if you merely play a Paraliminal in the background; do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

• On some Paraliminal recordings you will be asked questions to help you focus on the benefit you desire. Pause the recording as needed.

• If interrupted, simply open your eyes, deal with the matter, and then continue.• If you fall asleep while listening, you will still gain benefit providing you

clearly state your purpose for the session at the beginning.• To listen to more than one Paraliminal, take a 20-minute break between.• Paraliminals are catalysts for change. They facilitate access to strengths

already within you. When you succeed, it’s your success–not the recordings. • Most changes are integrated within three days. Continued listening can

reinforce continued development. When not getting the results you want, consider changing 1) the time of day you listen, 2) whether you are sitting or reclining, 3) the room, or 4) the furniture you sit or recline on (listening on a sofa might not generate results if you usually use the sofa for napping).

• If you practice Spring Forest Qigong, say the password, I am in the universe, the universe is in my body, the universe and I are one, and go into the emptiness at the beginning of your listening session. Finish with the Ending Exercise as you would at the end of a Sitting Meditation. (To learn more, visit www.LearningStrategies.com/Qigong.)

paraliminal sleep learningTo enjoy the benefits of sleep learning, set your audio player to repeat the Paraliminal sleep learning track (Track 3). Adjust the volume so that you can tune out the sound as you sleep. Waking is an indication that your mind had completed the process, so turn off the player at that time. Use the Paraliminal sleep learning feature as often as you would like.

holosync audio technologyHolosync audio tones, which you might hear as a hum, have been embedded in the recording to increase your ability to benefit and learn from this Paraliminal session.

Centerpointe Research Institute’s Holosync audio technology, when listened to with stereo headphones, creates the electrical brain wave patterns of many desirable states. These states include deep meditation, increased creativity, focus and concentration, and accelerated learning ability. Using Holosync creates new neural pathways between the left and right brain hemispheres, balancing the brain, enhancing mental/emotional health, improving mental functioning and self-awareness, and healing unresolved emotional problems.

For more information on how you can use Holosync to accelerate mental, emotional, and spiritual growth, and to receive a free Holosync demo CD and a free Special Report, visit http://www.Centerpointe.com.

Janet LuhrsJanet Luhrs has lived in two worlds. First as a crazy, busy, new lawyer, married and with two kids, a nonstop schedule, and a big mortgage, and then as a woman who stopped, took a breath, exhaled, and created a more calm, centered, pleasurable life. Eventually she gave up her law career, simplified her life, and began teaching others how to get off the treadmill, too. Janet started her newsletter, Simple Living, which quickly caught the attention of the media. She has written the best-selling book, The Simple Living Guide, called “the bible of the simplicity movement,” and Simple Loving, which tracks the connection between simplicity and loving relationships.

SimPLicityUncomplicate your life for more freedom and joy

PURPOSE Release pressure, clutter, and overcommitment in your life so that you can be more on purpose and enjoy natural effortlessness.

before listening to this sessionSimplicity is about exhaling. Exhaling from the relentless pressures of modern-day living; exhaling from too much clutter, too many commitments, too much debt, too much everything. It’s about creating a life of ease, enjoyment, and a feeling that there is time for what matters.

Before listening to this session, consider the following:

• Think of one area of your life where you feel overly burdened or pressured. This could be a commitment you didn’t want to make but agreed to anyway, clutter you have not addressed in the space where you live or work, or an uncomfortable relationship you need to address.

• If you could discover a way to unburden this area of your life and live with greater simplicity, freedom, and joy, would you choose to do so? When you are ready to explore the possibilities of your desired outcome, you can begin.

You can now listen to your session. Read the rest at your leisure.

BEnefits• Rediscover the easy, simple pleasures of life.• Access tranquility and peace.• Learn to react to life from your strengths, not your weaknesses.• Harness the potential of your body and mind to accomplish any goal

while remaining inwardly calm and composed.• Eliminate stress, complications, and overcommitment by becoming more

mindful of the choices you make.• Pare down to the essentials of life to enjoy greater freedom, love,

and passion.• Reorder your desires in a fresh, intentional way that aligns with

your values.• Create greater intimacy in your relationships.• Deliberately choose what you want to bring into your home and

daily life.• Create more time to pursue your passions and hobbies.• Restore vibrancy to your body by following its natural rhythms.• Listen to your inner voice, engaging in only those activities that align

things differently.

tEcHNiQUE OVERViEWIn this Paraliminal session you enter a new space within where the wholeness and richness of life is expressed in a language of simplicity, a language that begins with mindful attention to your own inner self.

Here you explore what is truly important to you. As a self-coach, you learn how to manifest the highest expression of those values in your everyday thoughts and actions.

In this listening session you are drawn into a visualization exercise where you set out on a purposeful journey, intentionally focusing on the riches and wonders of nature. You marvel at the simplicity of the natural world as it sustains and nurtures itself, gathering only what it needs, true to its own special nature.

When you return home to the wealth of your own possessions, you see only those things that remain essential to you, letting go of the rest.

This session frees up positive space within. Here you discover your inner intelligence effortlessly guiding you to manifest your passions in the simple choices you make daily. The things you consciously choose to keep remind you to live well and fully in the present moment.

10

BESt WAyS tO USE • Listen when you need to make time for yourself. It is an investment in

your own ongoing sense of well-being.• Listen when you feel disconnected from the ones you love. Your deep

expression of gratitude for the people who grace your life will lead to greater joy and fulfillment.

• Listen when you seek guidance or greater clarity. This Paraliminal session helps you go within to see a future where your intentions and values lead to a life filled with purpose and vitality.

• Listen when you feel overwhelmed by clutter or material goods, or when you sense a need to create more space in your life or build a bigger home for your belongings.

• Listen when external commitments and demands rob you of time to connect to your spiritual self. This session helps you open yourself to greater spiritual truths.

• Listen when you want to achieve greater health and well-being. This session supports a natural approach to eating and exercise.

POSSiBiLitiES FOR GOiNG BEyONDTo achieve simplicity in your life requires one thing: become fully present in the moment. This means consciously understanding why you are doing what you are doing at any given time and deliberately designing your life to align with your highest values and ideals. The noted American author Henry David Thoreau described it best in his classic book, On Walden Pond:

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck all the marrow of life…

You need not venture to the woods, take a vow of poverty, or forsake all worldly goods to savor the essence of life. You simply deliberately choose how to live. Instead of passively moving through life only reacting to what comes your way, you proactively manifest your dreams and desires through the day-to-day choices you make.

One way to do that is to slow down enough to ask–and answer–important questions along the way. Is this job right for me? Do I really need a new car? What will I need to give up to travel abroad? Do I need a bigger house?

Reflecting on your questions and reviewing your options allows you space to align your desires with your highest values and to really discern what is right for you. You learn what you are willing to give up and what you want to keep. You may sacrifice an organized home to spend more time with your children, or forego a vacation to complete a project ahead of schedule.

When you live your life deliberately, you draw from inside your most passionate self. You learn what drains your vitality, and you gather the strength and energy necessary to move forward with your choices.

iNSiDE SEcREtSMany people rush through life at breakneck speed. They cram all sorts of activities, events, and tasks into every minute of their day, filling every spare moment, fearful they might miss out on something…anything.

No one person can have absolutely everything. Unless you recognize that, you may find yourself endlessly spinning your wheels, wanting it all but feeling that you are never getting quite enough.

In addition, you may find you are missing out on what you set out to accomplish, achieve, or experience. In your rush to get more or get it faster, you can lose touch with the moment, no longer fully alive and awake in the present.

“It is not enough if you are busy,” wrote Henry David Thoreau. “The question is, What are you busy about?”

Suddenly realizing you have arrived at your destination without recalling the ten miles you drove your car to get there is an all-too-common occurrence. So is sorting the mail while talking to a spouse or child and missing out on their need for your full attention.

12

13

Mindful awareness is necessary to achieve a life of simplicity. Life is full of trade-offs. But when you pay attention to what is essential in your life and notice and honor the values important to you, life becomes more meaningful and rich. The universe generously affirms you, and your intention grows. Reaching an ever more mindful state, you become the true connoisseur, living the life you were born to live.

If you are familiar with Diamond Feng Shui, remember to face the appropriate “Best Direction” when listening to this Paraliminal.
