This is where brainwave entrainment comes into play. When utilizing brainwave entrainment, the meditative state is easily achieved utilizing either sound or even light or both combined. Only need to listen to sounds and in well under 6 minutes you have the meditative state. Also, dependent upon what sort of sound is developed, it will lessen the mind chatter that is experienced throughout meditation that sometimes takes you out of the desired state. For quick benefits of meditation, try brainwave entrainment.

I once had the pleasure of meeting author and healer Deborah King and reading her book “Truth Heals”, where the preceding quote caught my eye. I’ve been pondering that quote because it goes to the root of so many of our frustrations and tribulations. My own story makes a great example.

My roots are humble. I grew up in a poor family and was the kid who dressed funny in school. How times change! Today I own a home, a collector’s motorcycle, an arcade game, and other neat toys. Speaking of toys, my seven year old son already has more toys that I ever had. I’m a success!

Not so fast.

When I was six, I really wanted a toy microscope. My mother agreed to buy it but later withdrew the offer because we needed food. Man was I angry over that broken promise! I kept hounding (I was six, remember) and she kept insisting that she couldn’t afford it. I gave up… and that’s when I got the microscope. Was I happy? No! I was guilty because my parents were going hungry to buy that toy.

No way was I ever going to feel that kind of guilt again. I went on a decades-long spending spree, buying myself all the toys I’d wanted but never gotten. Eventually, I forgot all about the microscope.

My mother was stunned when I shared this story. Turns out she did want to buy it but groceries took priority. Then she got a little bonus in her paycheck and immediately bought the microscope. My six year old brain interpreted that simple act of love as betrayal. Result? A good part of my life revolved around coping with fear of scarcity and denying my guilt for the better part of three decades. A huge weight lifted from my shoulders the moment I understood what I’d been doing and why and was replaced by the weight of realizing that I am now paying principal plus interest for my 30-year bender, all over a simple childhood misunderstanding.

I spent a good portion of my finite life energy attempting to right a wrong that never existed in the first place. On and on the pattern went, buying things to both overwrite the guilt of previous purchases and prove that I could have my cake and eat it too.

My question to you today is simple: What is your ultimate purpose in this life and is your home-based business serving that purpose? If you are serving your home-based business, then you are in the wrong business. I will go so far as to venture the guess that a good deal of any chronic problems or difficulty you may be facing could stem from some fundamental disconnect between what you’re doing and what you’re on this planet to do. In other words, your troubles may exist because of a gap between who you are and who you’re supposed to be. All that glitters is not gold. Spraying gold paint on lead is nothing more than an illusion that adds neither value nor substance.

Your home-based business must serve you; you must not serve your home-based business. My coaching clients and my downline know this is my mantra. I question everything because little is ever as it seems. Your home-based business aside, you are on this planet to fulfill a mission… and you don’t have forever.

I am not accusing you of living a lie or walking the wrong path in life. That said, it’s a good idea to check in with yourself form time to time to make sure you’re on the right path for the right reasons. This is very important because we live in a society that encourages us to hide our “dirty laundry” and avoid dealing with what was by always seeking the latest and greatest. By contrast, an aboriginal tribe gathers around its sick to let them share whatever truths that person has bottled up within them. They know what we’ve forgotten and what Deborah reminds us: truth can and will set you free.

If your home-based business is serving your mission in this life, then you are already wealthy no matter how small your bank account it. If not, then you are dirt poor no matter how big your bank account is.

Go to bed one hour earlier than normal. If your days are anything like mine used to be, then the last waking hour is pretty much a waste because you’re already shutting down for the night. Quit fighting your tiredness and get to sleep. In the morning, wake up one hour earlier than normal. You’ll probably have more energy, meaning that your day is already off to a great start.

Begin your day by sitting in quiet contemplation or meditation for 20 minutes. Use this half-waking time to let your mind free associate as you ponder the day ahead. What do you need to do today? What challenges or obstacles lie before you? How can you be even more effective than you already are in marketing, management, communications, etc? What obstacles could get in your way today and how can you avoid them? How can you achieve better balance between your home-based business and the rest of your life? Who can you contact about your home-based business opportunity and who do you need to follow up with? How can you derive joy from the day to come?

Next, get your blood moving with 20 minutes of exercise. This simple step will cause your body to burn up to twice as many calories per day as you would without exercising. Increasing your body’s metabolism will fill you with energy and eliminate any sluggishness. You’ll improve your health and fitness while motivating yourself to succeed. Never overexert yourself and always seek professional medical advice if you have or develop any health problems, especially if you haven’t exercised in a while.

Last but in no way least, spend 20 minutes reading something uplifting, that will lift your mood and buoy your spirits.

Use the Hour of Power at least four days as week and see if you can work your way up to all seven days. The people I know who use this technique report feeling happier and more energetic and productive with less stress.

This method is particularly effective for anyone who is working towards a major business or personal goal or who is leaving their comfort zone for any reason. Remember that your mind and body are trying to maintain the status quo and will do everything they can to revert you to your old habits. Taking the time to center and energize yourself each morning will go a long way to keeping you on track.

The Hour of Power has an additional benefit: It gently forces you to examine your day and your life in general. Dr. Wayne Dyer asks if we are living ten thousand days or if we are living the same day ten thousand times. This question takes on new significance and urgency when one considers just how fragile life is and how none of us knows when our time will come. I got a reminder one evening when my wife and I found our dog Shidoni lying dead on our laundry room floor. Shidoni had been alive and well that morning, and all signs pointed to a sudden passing with no warning whatsoever.

The end can come at any moment for any one of us. How will you use your remaining time on this planet to grow your home-based business and personal abundance and build a lasting legacy? The short answer is that you can do all of this and more by living your life consciously- and the Hour of Power can be a powerful tool to do just that.
