The Buzzing of the Bees

The Secret strategy of Buzzing of The Bees

We trained a NYC attorney in Tripling (3x) his Speed Reading and Doubling his long-term memory. That was not what he emailed us about. One of the side-issues in the 12 hours of sessions includes a strategy called The Buzzing of The Bees. This is a simple strategy that most students and executives totally ignore. It was created by a French Psychologist called Emile` Coue` (pronounced Quay) in 1922.

So What

Please pay attention and see if you can mentally visualize this powerful procedure.

But what is it for?

Buzzing of The Bees activates accelerated healing and according to some advocates, produces almost miraculous results. Wait: disclaimer – we are not physicians and this is not scientific stuff. Most normal folks go to a medical doctor or hospital when their body fails them.

We recommend exactly that, but maybe there is a place for knowledge about Coue’s secret strategy.

What Happened

Danny the lawyer was skiing in the evening with his group at Vail. Suddenly he was buried in a six-foot pit – his right leg mangled, in searing pain, and only semi-conscious. He was not afraid because he knew the area was crowded with his friends, and sooner-or-later his crew would come searching for him. It was not to be that easy.

He tried to extricate himself, but the throbbing pain in his right leg argued back. Danny’s three-pound coconut joined in the ski-party with a massive migraine headache. He knew he was in trouble when he could not think of anyone to sue for damages for this negligence action. “Someone must pay for my pain and suffering,” he thought.

He never wore his watch when skiing, so it felt like a year had passed since his fall. He could hear no surrounding noise, and not a human came searching for the buried lawyer. Danny could only hear his pounding heart, as his fears invented new dangers for his present predicament.

Oh yeah, to add to his misery he was feeling frostbite in his both hands and feet. “I think I am going to cash-in my chips,” entered his mind multiple times.

Magic

He said in the email, “Out of no place, an idea crossed my mind. I actually heard Dr. Coue’s mantra,
‘Every day, in every way, I am feeling better and better.” It was like a song that just kept repeating itself endlessly. The weird part was that I actually smiled and felt better as I got into the swing of paying attention to this Affirmation – for 60-minutes.

It was some kind of self-fulfilling prophesy – I was feeling better and better. It was weird and dangerous because I was down a hole with a probable broken leg, and as alone as a stone.”

In Speed Reading we explain the power of “Every-day-in every-way, I am feeling better and better.”
The secret was not paying attention to the meaning of the words, just let the mantra form an umbrella over your brain. It must seep into your Non-Conscious mind. How? Hum the words under your breath, and expect a positive change. You mind-body connection will calm down your agitated brain, and send you some ideas to help yourself. Or you could sue us for malpractice – if you live.

Buzzing of The Bees

This is a two-step strategy. One, you repeat very fast, in an almost Mickey Mouse voice, (while touching the injured area), “It is Going, Going, Gone.” This is separated in three- sections. The first - two are repeated – “It is going-going-gone (rapidly for about 40 seconds). The final and third section ends with, “And, It-is-so!”

What is Optic Chiasma

You use physical reversal to involve your right or left brain. If you are healing your right-leg, use your left-hand to trigger your right-hemisphere. The right brain controls your left-side, and vice-versa. You very quickly reach your tipping-point – your Critical-Mass. If you do Buzzing-of-the-Bees twice, sixty-second each, a total of two-minutes – strange things occur. You must emotionalize what you want to occur, right? Do not repeat it like an accountant running numbers. Easy when you’re dying.

One more thing: you must create a mental image (mental movie/picture) of the healing and repair you desire. Use 1, but 1-4 is better.

See: 1. Shrinking and Shriveling of an enlarged area, uniting a broken bone or damaged tissue. Example: visualize an enlarged prostate gland et al shrinking and shriveling.
See: 2. Dissolving a bleeding or pimply growth, or eliminating a painful area. Example: facial growth.
See: 3. Pac-man Like: Chewing it up, and spitting it out. Example: killing all Cancerous-Tumorous-Toxic cells.
See: 4. Hammering the nuclei and cell bodies. Example: see: Cancerous-Tumorous-Toxic cells being smashed to death by your mallet. (visualize your 3-pound mallet totally destroying all the negative growth cells).

Back to Danny The Lawyer in The Snow-Bank

“Well, I said to myself, I have nothing to lose, so I began doing the Buzzing of the Bees to my right-leg, tapping with my left-hand. I visualized my foot healed, and did not stop to think how stupid and unscientific it really was. I had nothing but time, so I did it for maybe 15-30 minutes. Later I went back to Coue’s mantra – Every Day in Every Way, I am Feeling Better and Better, for another 15-30 minutes. I say, If you got the time – I got Coue’s affirmation.

“I am not going to try and describe what happened next because the men in the white coats institutionalize you for such ideas. Let’s just say I felt better and saw an improvement in my condition.
Oh yeah, I had never tried these crazy strategies since learning them in Speed Reading classes. Desperate times require desperate measures, right?

The next thing I knew I was sweating like a pig and moving around the pit in spite of the pain. Get this:
I started crawling upward, one inch at a time. If you are expecting a miracle and the ski parole coming to save my ass, forget about it.

You remember the Bingo-Song you teach to reduce stress – “There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name.” Each chorus you clap or shout to replace a letter in the name B-I-N-G-O. It helped distract my mind from pain, fear and anxiety when I tired of “Every-Day” and “Buzzing of the Bees.”

I am coming to the point. I began to feel better and made slow progress as I attempted to creep out of the snow-trap. I dragged by broken body inch by inch, but move I did. It took maybe two-three-hours.

More “Every-Day-in-every-way”, sing-song, more “Buzzing of the Bees” about my right leg and migraine headache. I went back to the “Bingo” song too, and you know what? It all worked to calm my racing heart and broken body. May that’s it.

I don’t know how I did it, but I ended up out of the snow-trap. My partners would have me certified for reciting this stuff in writing. I do not remember how or when, but I started crawling down the slope. Some ski-cop found me. I was bent over the ski ramp. The Ski Patrol guy said they had been on a search for my fundament for over four-hours.

That’s it. It really happened like that, and you have my permission to use my words. No normal person would believe a word of it anyway. Thank you SpeedLearning.org - I will always believe Coue’s mental strategies saved my injured fundament. Best of Luck, Danny Esq.”

Endwords:

This is the gist of it. Did it really work because of Emile Coue’s strategies – you decide. As for me, if
I were in a hopeless situation, and I wanted to trigger my mind-body-connection… I suggest no one rely on any of the aforementioned ideas, but then I also suggest not falling into a ski-trap.

By the way we have about 25 free, no strings attached speed reading reports. If you want one, find us and request one.

Did You know You Are An Expert in at Least Three-Skills?

Do You Know You Are an Expert in at Least Three-Skills?

Wait – how do you define “expert”, and what exactly is required to be considered an expert in a field?

I hate glittering generalities and require specific information to learn something new.
There are three (3) ways to qualify to be an expert in most professions and areas of talent.

The Ten Thousand Hour Rule

The creator of this rule is K. Anders Erisson, professor at Florida State University. He first saw it played out in Berlin, Germany at the German Academy of Music. He concluded it was nurture more than nature, and not natural genius or innate talent, but hard work. Regardless of talent, it took deliberate practice (daily) to master any skill. Competence, proficiency and knowledge require practice.

Ten Thousand Hours is the equivalent of three-hours daily for ten (10) years. More hours daily reduces the number of years, right? Take your pick – ten-years or ten-thousand hours is the minimum to acquire expertise in a field of knowledge or skill.

Dr. David Shanks

Professor Shanks picked up on this theory while at University College, London from Erisson in 1990.
He saw the merit in disposing of the argument you have to be born a star. He was more comfortable with the practical application of effort and diligence to attain expertise. He liked the idea that it is not
Innate (inborn) talent that ultimately decides who is an expert.

Stephen J. Dubner & Steven Levitt

In 2006, these two published “Freakonomics –the hidden side of everything” It is now a standard that is an annually best-seller. Professor Dubner is an internationally recognized economist, teaching at University of Chicago since 1997. Levitt is a super-star journalist in NYC and a major contributor to the on-going website on Freakonomics. They gave lasting fame to K. Anders Erisson by popularizing his Ten-Thousand Hour Rule.

So What

There are three-ways to gain a reputation as an expert – putting in 10,000 hours, ten-years, and one more. If the expert has absorbed 30,000 chunks of knowledge in his field, he wins the title. What is chunking?

Chunking is a psychological term – meaning organizing items (ideas) into manageable units. Example:
Which is easier to remember – 5165551212 or 516-555-1212? That’s chunking. This is an example of a long-term memory strategy. What are you really doing? Answer: recoding information into short-term memory. Get this: you have only 43 seconds to take short-term and turning it into long-term memory.

How?

Three-ways: repetition – association or artificial use of a digital recording device to remember the new information. If you waste time, your new short-term memory disappears and you lose it. What’s her
name again? For Smart-Alecs: check out an article called The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, by George A. Miller, 1956. Explains short-term human memory. Remember – you have about 43 seconds to save it to the Hippocampus or your Amygdala chews it up.

You Said We Have Expertise in Three-Skills

Glad you reminded me. One is Eating – at least ten-years or ten-thousand hours. Second is Sleeping, we are all experts in that talent. Third is reading. Most of us have piled up the ten-years or ten-thousand hours because we started at age five or six and read daily.

There are Three Ways to Win Comprehension in Reading

One: Phonics – the sounding of each letter in a word. It is so-o slow, and is used 62% of the time by college graduates.
Two: Holistic Word Recognition – that means we comprehend words by remember their shape. Repetition imprints the shape in our long-term memory. We use it 16% of the time college graduates read text material.
Three: Whole Language – we comprehend words and gain meaning by seeing the CONTEXT of the word as it is used in a sentence. This strategy is used 22% of the time by college graduates.

We use all three of the aforementioned simultaneously, not just pick and choose one.

How fast do College Graduates Read?

The average lawyer, doctor and college graduate reads easy material at approximately 210 words per minute, with a comprehension of only sixty (60%) percent. That is about 100 words per minute in reality. What about tough, text material? Cut it in half. Face it, we are s-l-o-w, slow readers, which explains Information-Overload, and the low U.S. student rates in Science and Math.

When you read that slowly, with Porous-Comprehension, you get easily frustrated, and want to quit.
The high school and college drop-out rate because of lousy reading skills is a minimum of 35-40%. Sad.
There is a solution – it is called Speed Reading, a series of learning strategies for kids and adults.

Zoning-Out

More than 50% of students and executives zone-out after reading more than five-minutes. Some of us can go up to 20-minutes before falling mental asleep while reading. Your eyes take in the words, but your prefrontal-cortex is not paying attention to meaning and comprehension.

For cool folks: Goggle: Broca’s Area and Wernicke’s Area for semantics - the meaning of what you are reading. Reading not just perusing sentences down a page, you must be able to get the ideas that the writer is submitting in the book, article or report. Attention is everything and add to that recalling the gist of new knowledge. Less than that is Zoning-out.

Endwords

The good news is that you can become an expert in a specialized area of knowledge without being a genius to start with. Find an area of knowledge or even a hobby that turns you on, and put in the time.
See ya,

What New Scientific Research Adds to Your Health And Longevity

How New Scientific Research Adds to Your Health And Longevity
If you are like me about wild medical claims, you are a skeptic and contrarian and believe
almost no authority or expert without proof. Sure there are breakthroughs, but the drug companies are the last one to believe. But then again there are exceptions to even the best rules.

But what about stuff that sounds like good old common sense? Al Einstein said, “Common sense is just conventional wisdom with the prejudices we learned up to age 18.” So who do you believe?

The Journal of Applied Psychology, March 1, 2011

This article by lead author, Professor Ed Diener, University of Illinois, reviews one-hundred and sixty (160) separate scientific studies about the effect of happiness on our health and longevity. Wait, are the scientists implying just being generally delighted with your life is a great strategy?

It appears that positive, happy folks absolutely have less diseases and live longer than
pessimistic people. Again, they straight-out have a longer lifespan.

Example: one study followed 5,000 students at the University of Illinois for more than forty-years.
They were annually tested for their attitudes, moods and states of mind. The students were classified as Positive, Negative or Moderate minded.

Get this: those who tested as stressed-out, depressed, and pessimistic about their lives, tended to get more diseases, and die younger than their peers. Makes sense, but it is more because it has evidence to back up these claims.

Tested What

People evaluate their lives based on personal relationships and their career. If you are dissatisfied with your life-partner, cannot handle your finances, and hate going to work every morning, it is very easy to be depressed and pessimistic. Nothing happens in a vacuum, and your unhappiness
(stress and distress) has major consequences for your life and health.

Subjective Well-Being

The scientists concluded with this cliché sounding comment: “Feeling positive about your life, not
stressed-out, not depressed, contributes to both longevity and better health among healthy populations.”

In a long-term study of 678 Nuns from the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Dr. David Snowdon concluded: “those who wrote positive autobiographies in their 20s, tended to outlive those who wrote more negative life stories (accounts) of their present and future lives.”
More: those who used their brains daily to read, learn, teach, and play mental games, lived the longest and most satisfactory lives. Life-style accounts for health, longevity, and avoidance of Alzheimer’s, and other diseases of the mind and body.

If you suffer daily bouts of anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities, and pessimism, you can expect to have a higher rate of disease and a shorter lifespan.

Animal Studies

Stress is not just a human experience. When you place too many animals in the same space (cages), poor health and even death follows. Stressed animals are more susceptible to heart disease, have weaker immune systems, and tend to die earlier than those with more space to roam.

Stress

The term stress was coined by Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye, in 1936 at McGill University in
Montreal. He was the first scientist to see stress as biological. He described stress as affecting cognition (thinking and learning), emotions, and our physical and behavioral patterns. He said stress (distress) was involved in poor judgment, excessive worry, moodiness, and produces aches and pains.

Cortisol

Stress produces a hormone called cortisol. It is produced by the adrenal gland, increases blood sugar suppresses the immune system, and decreases bone formation. Professor Selye discovered that there
Is a positive form of stress he called EUSTRESS. It produces a low level of excitement that permits us to be creative and do our best work. It is DISTRESS that is the negative force in our lives.

A positive mood overcomes stress and reduces the production of cortisol.

Endwords

The researchers evaluated the 160 studies on health and longevity and commented, there is clear and compelling evidence, happy folks (less stress than unhappy people) tend to live longer and experience
better health.

So What

It is your job to be aware of excessive stress in your life and change your behaviors. Who cares more
whether you live a healthy, long life than you? You may want to stop rationalizing about your personal relationships and career. If you make difficult choices to reduce and eliminate distress in your life, you change the odds in your favor to avoid diseases and increase longevity.

What is The Law of Expectation?

What is the Law of Expectation, And Who Cares?

Now you are an intelligent person, wise in the ways of the world. If you do some quick internet research on the Law of Expectation, what will you find? Answer: Google has to remove this drivel. These articles contain facts a first-grader would not believe.
Example: “Whatever you believe and expect to happen, with confidence, are most likely to occur.” Life is a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’, you get what you expect. So expect all positive stuff and you will receive it.” What else?
“Change your expectations, and you change what happens to you.” Huh? Up to now, there has been no science documentation to justify the Law of Expectation. All the articles say, “Believe it because I say so”, and no evidence is offered. I call that drivel. On top of that, all the writers on Expectation refer you to the Law of Attraction. I don’t believe that one either.

Hold It

Researchers from Britain and Germany wrote an important article on the Law of Expectation published in the Science Translational Journal on 2.17.11. They used brain imaging (fMRI) to show “expectations can cancel out the benefits of Pain Killing drugs.”

Who cares? Two drug makers: Abbot and GlaxoSmithKline. Why?

If patients can destroy the power of the drugs they take by their Expectations, the clinical trials must be changed to overcome this problem. Why? The U.S. Food And Drug Administration can reject their
application to offer the drug for sale in the U.S. Each drug must pass tests to prove it is more effective
than a mere sugar-pill. No scientific proof, no Approval.

Read-And-Remember

Fact: Patients who do NOT believe in the effectiveness of the drug proscribed by their physician,
can reduce or even cancel out the power (force) of the pill or injection. They may distrust the doctor who offers the solution to their pain, or the hospital treating them. Maybe they hate drugs in general, or the treating nurse in particular, and their brain (scans) show exactly how they are doing it.

But So What

Today, there is absolute valid scientific evidence to prove that our feelings and past experience, can influence, persuade and convince our mind-body-connection to cause positive or negative results, just by the power of our brain to expect good or bad conclusions.

We will work harder and longer to get what we want, if we expect the results to be what we choose.
The Law of Expectation changes the odds in our favor to win because our brain motivates us to do whatever it takes to reach our goal.

If Expectation works with powerful pain-killing drugs – then if we are PRIMED to win in problem-solving, selling, or creating original software, the mind-body-connection is also a powerful tool for success in school and your career.

Drugs

Consider this: our brain can enhance (double) the effectiveness of drugs or make it appear the most powerful drugs with proven biological effect, fail to register any effect in our body. Our brain can override the reality of the analgesic effect, and show the drug is not working at all.

According to the lead author, Irene Tracy of Oxford University, “The brain imaging is telling us that patients really are switching on-and-off parts of their brains – through the mechanism of Expectation.”

When the patient has doubts about the doctor’s strategy and choice of treatment, for any reason at all, justified or not, their own brain rejects the pill, injection or bodily insertion as toxic.

Viewing the brain scans, the researchers discovered that the brain’s pain networks responded in different degrees based on the patient’s (volunteer) amount of EXPECTATION of a successful treatment.

What Is Important About this Scientific Break-Through?

“We should control for the effect of people’s Expectations on the results of any clinical trial.”
Drugs in any form may be unconsciously manipulated and rejected by patients (volunteers) through their feelings (emotions) and past experience with drugs, doctors or hospitals.
Valuable, powerful drugs may be rejected, while lousy, ineffective medicines may indicate they are the latest Silver-Bullet (Penicillin) breakthrough. How? The Power of Expectation.
Your Career
How do we apply the principle of Expectation to students at school, and advancing your career by winning promotions and raises?
Three areas of your brain are involved:
1. If you create mental imagery in your primary visual cortex of your expectation of promotions and raises, by making mental-movies, and repetitiously running them, they active your brain to motivate you strongly.
2. You emotionalize the desire and expectation of promotions and raises by excitation of your Limbic (emotions) system. The wilder and crazier you get about your positive expectations (repetition is
Mandatory), the greater the Expectation effect.

Jumping-up-and-down or throwing your arms in the air are nice. Applause works too. Emotionalize your expectation.



3. Affirmations are statements that can cue your mind to be on the
look-out for ways to succeed in obtaining promotions and raises.

Putting you affirmation in the form of a question is very effective to trigger your brain. “Why is my winning Promotions and Raises in my career, so easy and effective? Or, Why am I enjoying my thriving career with new promotions and raises?

Repeat either one of these affirmations prior to falling asleep – twenty-five (25) times. Do another 25x upon awakening while brushing your teeth, or while lying in bed.

During these times of the day, we can access and convince our Non-Conscious mind, Right-Hemisphere, and Emotions to create positive strategies to win promotions and raises. Do it persistently. Yes, really.
