It has been a very long time since I started to explore the self-help world and I have learned one very important thing about our creative power that like any other skill it also is honed with persistent efforts and practice.
Doesn’t matter if you are a personal development guru or a beginner, you use the same power and the universal laws to create your reality.
The difference between those who fail and the those who succeed depends on their ability to change themselves(inner beliefs) in a way that they become vibrationally aligned with their dreams.
Manifestation is all about changing the frequency of your vibrational state by altering your subconscious beliefs and the tool that helps you to do that most effectively and quickly is what you should choose. Continue reading
It has been a very long time since I started to learn about lucid dreaming, but I don’t know why, I have never been so curious about dream yoga before.
All I ever wanted to do was to enjoy my dream world as a virtual reality and also to explore the dream world to find solutions to some real life issues using lucid dreaming. Even though I heard about dream yoga many a times, I never took time to learn about it in detail.
Due to lack of knowledge I considered it as some practice similar to lucid dreaming where one might be meditating or doing some spiritual stuff inside dreams. Then I stumbled upon a few of Andrew Holecek’s works that really made me very curious about dream yoga and that’s when I realized that dream yoga is a lot different than lucid dreaming.

I stumbled upon this program recently that’s created by Marion Neubronner which she has prepared along with Alvin in order to help people to find their peace of mind while pursuing their life goals successfully. In this the amazing you review I will be providing my honest opinion on this product so that you could make a well thought buying decision.
First of all, I want to say “please don’t believe in the promotional videos of this product” because in that case you will feel like you have accidentally ordered some other product later on.
Yes, trust me, all I knew before getting the eBook was that I was about to learn something called the “brain gap” which is growing among people and this stuff works like smart drugs to fix that and allows people to use their mind’s true potential.
Alvin says that the author of this book, Marion Neubronner who is a Harvard trained psychologist met him at an event, she taught him and his team something so life changing that they had to make it available for common people as only a few successful people were having that knowledge.

In a post I published earlier on the importance and significance of the reality checks for lucid dreaming, I shared a realization I had about what differentiates our waking life from the dream world.
This new way of looking at my dreams made me more curious and with a little research, I found that dream yoga was the answer to my questions.
As a lucid dreaming beginner, I was obsessed with doing things in my dreams that are impossible in the real-life like flying, going to beautiful places, meeting people from my past, visiting my childhood house, etc.
However, with time, experience and knowledge gained from some very awesome lucid dreaming based products, I learned that lucid dreaming can also be used for various higher purposes like problem solving, personal development and even spiritual growth.
Talking about spiritual growth, I always thought that dream yoga is not much different from lucid dreaming, but I was wrong. Even though both involves conscious dreaming, they are two entirely different processes. Continue reading
Most people either do it incorrectly or they are less focused towards this particular method, but I believe that lucid dreaming reality checks are of utmost importance if you are willing to become a conscious dreamer.
Yeah it is true that you can do whatever you want in your dreams as a conscious dreamer and live what can be called a “virtual reality” when you are asleep with practice, but lucid dreaming is basically all about becoming aware in your dreams.
You may say “that is not everything, it is just the first step”, but I say it is everything!
Why?? – Because all you learn as an expert conscious dreamer, whether let it be “having long lucid dreams”, “lucid dreaming frequently”, “being in control of your dreams” etc., etc., it all boils down to the dream awareness. The more conscious you become, the better it gets.
With my interest in both spiritual practices and lucid dreaming, I understood something on a deeper level about what separates our dream world and waking life, and it just bubbled up recently due to a very interesting online course I joined and that’s what I am going to share here with you. Continue reading
I want to discuss some mind-boggling lucid dreaming experiences here with you that gave me a glimpse of the true nature of reality as I have known about it from various spiritual teachings.
One can come up with thousands of rational explanations for these dreams, but I really don’t want to discuss why I had these dreams because the messages they contained is what matters to me more than how I received them.
I have had many uncanny lucid dreams, if I will start talking about all of them, then someone might send me to the loony bin for sure, but here I am going to share the experiences that really taught me some profound life lessons. Continue reading
How your day gets shaped has a lot to do with how you begin it and that’s why in this post I will be talking about some morning habits of successful people that can help you to have a great day in a way that can enable you to move a step ahead towards your success every day.
We have always heard that the early morning hours must be used constructively because it is the most essential part of our whole day, but have you ever wondered why?
It is because when we wake up our mind gets refreshed as if we have pressed the reset button, this is why they say that we are born again every day as our energy is all new and we can choose a new path to make positive changes.
Sadly, most people lose that freshness soon because they allow the thoughts of yesterday to take over them and this makes their day similar to their recent past.
This is why I am going to bring to light a few techniques that will enable you to take control of your day by clearing the thought patterns you have been carrying around for a long time. Continue reading
I was reading about smart drugs recently and that’s when I came to know that people are using an Ayurvedic medicine named “Ashwagandha” that is also known as Indian Ginseng or Withania Somnifera, for the purpose of improving the cognitive functions of the brain.
That was really an astonishing thing to know for me since I have lived in the central region of India for a very long time, I knew about this particular herb, but I never knew that it can also be used for such purposes.
After reading about this Ayurvedic medicine in detail I am writing this post in order to help people know whether this herb really has such benefits as we have heard or if it is just a myth.
Ashwagandha has been considered as a very powerful medicine by the ancient Indian Ayurveda science.
It is a plant that has different medicinal benefits. Especially, its fruit and root is used to treat various diseases, whereas it also helps one to stay healthy in various ways.
In Sanskrit the word “Ashwa” means Horse and “Gandha” means odor, it is so named due to the smell of the plant root that resembles like of a horse’s smell.
The herb contains the required chemicals that can treat mind related issues and increase body’s immune power. Apart from this there are a plethora of reasons for which people use it and we are now going to take a look at its most popular usages.
This particular herb has gained immense popularity for tons of rumored medical benefits including its effectiveness in treating cancer and preventing the side effects of chemotherapy, I am going to share all its alleged benefits here about which I have investigated:-
1 – Mental Fitness
This herb is highly used to treat various mind related afflictions like anxiety, stress, depression and insomnia.
Many studies have shown that Indian Ginseng can be very helpful in treating depression, since it has mood stabilizing properties. That also makes it effective to reduce anxiety and stress.
This plant’s root extract is considered to be a good sleep aid. As it has calming effect on the mind, it surely can help people to sleep properly.
It is also said that this medicine can help people with ADHD, but there isn’t much information available yet to support this.
2 – Fertility
Probably, this is one main reason for which this herb has attracted a lot of people towards it. There have been many claims that Ashwagandha helps to improve sexual functions in both males and females.
I have also heard that it can improve the semen quality, but there are very less evidences to back up all the effectiveness of this plant on human fertility about which we hear a lot nowadays.
3 – Immune System
I remember how a Yogi promoted the use of this plant a few years ago in my country and people increasingly started using it believing that it will enhance their body’s immune system.
Researches have shown that Ashwagandha is helpful in fighting diseases, but it is still uncertain whether it can really boost one’s ability to resist disease causing microorganisms.
4 – Cancer
Recently, the internet searches for this herb have increased exponentially due to the rumor that it can help to treat cancer.
Ashwagandha has been found to be effective in treating and preventing cancer in laboratory experiments performed on animals; however it has not been yet proved that it will work similarly for humans as well.
5 – Cognitive Functions of Brain
As I said before, my curiosity about this medicine was developed by what I came to know while reading about the smart drugs that improves cognitive functions of the brain.
Tons of Ashwagandha based products are now available for people who are looking to improve their brain’s cognitive functions, but it really has not been yet proved to have any such qualities.
6 – Diabetes
Some research works have shown that this Ayurvedic medicine has blood sugar reducing properties, but that doesn’t imply it can improve insulin production.
7 – Arthritis
Among all these points this one is something for which Ashwagandha is considered to be most effective.
According to the experts, this herb has some great anti-inflammatory properties which make it a very good cure for arthritis.
These were few most well known reasons for which people use Indian Ginseng, now let’s take a look at the side effects.
There are very less known side effects of this herb (when taken by mouth), but it is best to consult your doctor before trying it. However, it is essential that you should always keep in mind a few possible unfavorable effects of Ashwagandha.
1 – Heavy and uncontrolled usage can result into various stomach related problems like diarrhea.
2 – Pregnant women should not take this herb and it could also create breastfeeding related problems.
3 – Diabetic patients may experience imbalanced body sugar levels, which can cause a lot of trouble when they are already using other medications.
4 – A lot of people have experienced thyroid related issues while using Indian Ginseng.
5 – You must avoid this if you have any bleeding issues.
6 – Avoid using while you are on sedatives.
7 – Stop using this herb if you have any upcoming surgery ahead.
Overall, from what I have known about this Ayurvedic herb, it is very good for two purpose i.e. to calm down the mind and for treating arthritis.
For all other purposes you will have to use it for yourself and see if it works for you or not. There are tons of products based on this available online like the “True Veda’s Organic Ashwagandha Vegetarian Capsules“.
I am not a doctor or health expert to advice you to try Ashwagandha, I have just written this post based on what I have learned about it, there could be possible side effects of this herb based on your body type, so please do consult your doctor before you try them.

If you want to have peace in all your worldly affairs, then you must have a balanced root chakra and that is why I will be discussing with you a root chakra healing meditation in this post using which you will be able to allow the proper flow of energy through this energy center.
When a person finds it difficult to fulfill his materialistic needs, it is one very obvious symptom of a blocked root chakra because this energy center is what connects our spiritual body with the external world.
Working on the other chakras before taking care of Muladhara is like building more storeys to a tower with a weak foundation, it may look good for a while but it won’t be able to stand for long.
I am saying this because I know how so many people try to stimulate their heart chakra and third eye chakra without even caring about the lower energy centers. For a while it may work well, but later it will backfire. Continue reading
I am writing this bulletproof coffee review based on my experience and by doing a short research on the subject since I was very curious to know more about this over-hyped buttered coffee that went viral a few years ago.
Considering the impact Dave Asprey’s biohacking coffee recipe has made on the internet and social media, I think I am arriving very late in the scenario, anyways it is a fresh thing for me and so is for many people who are yet to know about it after me and maybe through this post itself.
People have praised and criticized this particular secret to stay more energized while shedding pounds from Dave Asprey, so it has become very difficult to know whether this thing works or not.
That’s why I think I can help a few people to know the truth with this post, where I will be talking about it in full detail.
In simple words, it is the regular coffee prepared without adding sugar or milk, but using butter instead with a little MCT Oil (or coconut oil).
According to Dave, a large cup of this coffee in the morning helps you to stay more energized throughout the day, which allows you to perform better and be more productive in whatever work you do whereas it also kills the food cravings.
One of the prime reasons why people are attracted towards this coffee is due to its weight loss benefits, it is said that if you will drink this during breakfast you won’t feel hungry at all for the rest of your day! But that doesn’t mean you should avoid food.
There is a specific diet plan to be followed along with the intake of this buttered coffee for achieving its true benefits, which is all about skipping breakfast and giving about an 18 hour gap between your dinner and the next day lunch.
The weight loss mechanism that works here is the same one that has been used by many diet plans “ketosis” which means the body automatically kicks into the fat burning mode when it runs out of carbs.
Dave Asprey discovered this recipe in 2009 after drinking a yak butter tea in Nepal and since then this special coffee has been used by numerous people, including some well known sportspeople and celebrities, he claims that drinking this in the morning improves your cognitive functions.
Bulletproof coffee has been featured on many television shows and it is a very popular thing in the Silicon Valley.
People say that this coffee is delicious; I didn’t believe that initially, butter in coffee? How could that be a good taste? But it was! Without even adding sugar, the taste was good.
Unlike what I expected, I felt hungry later and skipping breakfast did not really felt like a good idea.
Honestly, for a few days the only thing that appeared good to me about this whole thing was the taste and on contrary to the purpose, I often felt sluggish during the day while doing this so called “biohacking”.
Slowly I realized why people are talking about it so much, I felt no real need to eat during my day and I was more alert than usual.
My work doesn’t require any physical effort, all I need is focus and it was helping me in some way with that.
However, even though I wasn’t eating much, I didn’t lose a pound!
A little extra energy during the day was not enough to motivate me to go into the kitchen every morning and make this coffee, so I finally stopped drinking it.
Dave Asprey has also received a lot of criticism from nutritionists and other people who believe that this is just a false publicity method he has used to make money.
On the other hand, I have also seen so many people attributing their increased energy levels and weight loss to this little morning secret.
Overall, I think this thing works well for some people and not others depending on their body types.
See, I do have a lot of weight to shed, but I don’t crave for high calorie food nor do I eat more than needed, so it didn’t work well for me to lose weight. It surely did made me feel more energetic, but I don’t have a tiresome schedule in order to use it for that purpose.
If you are among people who start feeling sluggish after the first half of their work hours, if you work at night or if you have the habit of emotional eating, then I think you must give it a try. After all, the coffee has developed a cult of its own, so there must be some truth to it right?
1 – Make 2 cups of black coffee in the regular way. (You can use bullet proof upgraded coffee for more benefits, says Dave Asprey).
2 – Put 2 spoons of grass fed unsalted butter in it with some MCT oil or coconut oil.
3 – Mix them in a blender, allowing it to be creamy as it should be. (Do not use a spoon or any other way to mix)
4 – Done, enjoy your bulletproof coffee.
If you find it hard to get all the required items then you can also order the upgraded bulletproof kit.
Here’s a video where Dave shows how to make it: –
