Often, we spend days looking for that next big thing.
That next self-development course. That next personal improvement seminar. That next graphic-laden 'The Secret'-style DVD.
We spend so much time looking outside, that we don't look inside - into something that can truly change the way you feel RIGHT NOW.
. Your breathing patterns!
In today's video post, I'd like to chat briefly about "breathwork" - what it is, how it works - and how you can use it to enhance your mood, boost your immunity and rocket your mind power. Today.

After yesterday's blog post - 'Release Your Religion' - I received a large amount of negative feedback by e-mail. Most messages told me I was scheduled to burn in hell.
It seems that the title of this particular blog post aroused strong feelings in a subsection of readers - although most appeared not to have actually read the article.
To clarify: this wasn't an anti-religious blog post, but rather "religion" here was a euphemism for ANY limiting thoughts which may be holding us back.
It may include religion, certainly, but as the article clearly pointed out, that wasn't its core focus. A more succinct word for limiting beliefs escaped me while composing the post.

Thank you, enjoy - and I'll see you here again soon.
Enjoy limitless energy. Improve your relationships. Enjoy creative rushes. Rocket your IQ. Think faster and sharper.

Yes, those are the kind of benefits you can enjoy when you get your brainwaves into a state of peak performance - using a process known as "brainwave entrainment."
You get the kind of benefits a Zen monk experiences after decades of contemplative practice.
Yet you start receiving these benefits within weeks.
And, after all - who has a spare 70,000 hours to spend meditating these days?
BUT - How does the science behind brainwaves work?
And how can creating specialised recordings influence your brainwave patterns?
Today, I'd like to share a video from brainwave pioneer Michael Kelley - who helped to develop the Brain Evolution System.
He'll explain how this "brainwave entrainment" program works - and how over 150 years of brainwave research can benefit YOU.

How's your day going? Are you loving the work that you do?
There is nothing worse than getting caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day and just drifting along. You must not let this happen.
You need to dream and dream big, and then you will need to take ACTION. You need to go after your passions and do the work you were born to do otherwise you will end up looking back at your life and thinking, what if...
So dream on. Think big; take action, work hard, have patience and you will achieve your dreams!
Go out there and love the work that you do!
Here is a video of Gary Vaynerchuk of the Wine Library avidly telling us to do the work we are passionate about:
Some years ago, a Bosnian doctor friend of mine uttered a few words that had more of an impact than she could possibly imagine.
Ksenija said:
"The problem with the world these days... is that people are bored."
They've become too familiar with "good living" and "freedom." They've gotten all too used to fresh running water and central heating. They've become downright complacent with comfort.
Suddenly the things which really matter are whether you've put an extra inch on the waistline, or that little crack in the bathroom tile.
Today, I want to jolt you back to reality.
I want you to understand - really understand - that you are living in glorious times.
I want you to appreciate - really appreciate - that you are living a fantastic life in a fantastic society, no matter how much you may disagree.
This evening I watched The Pianist - and when you truly grasp the sort of Jewish persecution that went on during WWII, you suddenly realize the freedom you don't even realize you have right now.
The problem with the world these days... is that people are bored.
Are you bored? With life? With it's many comforts? With safety?
And if you are -
Then snap out of it and get back to appreciating what REALLY matters.
Life. Love. Family. Friends. People. Hope. Spirit.
These are the things which make our fleeting life worth living.

Today, I'd like to chat about that distinctly human quality...
Hope.
The idea that things can change. That it can get better, that the day will be brighter tomorrow, that people will smile again.
When life seems empty, hollow, lacking direction - and just plain pointless - hope is the one thing that pulls us through.
And the great thing about you and me - is that we have it.
Miles and miles of unlimited hope, all stored neatly inside ourselves.
Think about it.
Are you feeling sorry for yourself right now?
Are there things in your life you've resigned yourself to having lost... or having second best... ?
Is there something you know you should change?
We always have HOPE.
A belief - an intention - of change for the better.
A knowingness that we can always hope for a brighter today - and accept those things we simply can't change (and maybe even become stupidly obsessed about).
Scottish author Alexander Chalmers said "The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."
In the areas of your life that are hollow right now...
... How's your hope looking?
And here's a thought.
Why not pump up your hope? Make it big and bright and beautiful. Keep it high. Stop feeling sorry for yourself - and get out and change the world.
So, hope for better things - and then make them happen.
Then get ready for many, many happy endings!
Love - Karlos ;)
PS. Here's a great video to get you inspired today! I absolutely love this song. Keep fascinated! Reading this by e-mail? View the video online at www.karlblog.com. Whoo-oh, whooh-ohhh!
Today's post is just a reminder of that. And I'm going to do it by giving a little perspective.
A few weeks ago, I watched the movie Contact, starring Jodie Foster. It's based on the novel by late Carl Sagan. Although I don't necessarily share all of Carl's views, he was a great man... and no matter what he may think, he's somewhere out there :)
The introduction to the movie however included an amazing three minutes of tracking back. From a picture of earth and its various radio signals... out into deep, deep space.
It's staggering -- and it should make you realize that we aren't that big after all.
Our actions really aren't of any real significance.
This blog post is hardly likely to ever go down in history. And as far as the "BIG EVERYTHING" is concerned, Karl Moore is hardly likely to ever really mean anything.
All we're ever likely to be, or do, or anything... is what we be, or do, RIGHT NOW.
So what could YOU dare that is worthy today?
And why not JUST DO IT...
After all, it's really not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.
Lloyd Jones said: "If you have tried to do something and failed you are vastly better than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded."
So go on. Dare something worthy.
Now I'll leave you with my second favourite scene in the movie. The timewarps!

Take a moment to reflect ... are you happy and fulfilled?
Are you enjoying the time of your life?
If not, then what are you going to do about it?
There is no better time than NOW so seize the day!
Not only seize it, but own it too!
Henry David Thoreau said: 'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.'
So, make sure that you're focused on living your best time ever - NOW.
Let go of the sabotaging thoughts and feelings that are holding you back or telling you that you can't live your dream.
Realize that you're here to experience life and to enjoy it.
You are more than worthy of living your best time ever.
Consider the positive in your life and be grateful for everything that you have.
In fact, celebrate those simple but powerful gifts that you possess ... gifts such as love, kindness, forgiveness, compassion, vitality, freedom of spirit, joy and so on.
You really have so much to be grateful for.
Celebrate the uniqueness that is YOU!
When you focus on making this your best time ever, you really start to live life with meaning and truth.
So, make this the day that you change your life for the better.
Make this... One Fine Day.

"Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day.
"Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business.
"Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy.
"Guard your fragile life carefully.
"Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces."
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes - but in having new eyes."
Yes, everybody hurts.
Allow yourself to hurt just a little. Then rest, and remember that the sun will shine again tomorrow morning. Allowing you to look at the issue with new eyes. Hopeful eyes. Eyes of happiness.
And smile.
Because you are.
