Reprogramming your Self is an App for daily use in order to step out of the circle of constantly repeating your past and consciously creating a new state of being – thus creating a new future, of course! We keep creating the future constantly and in every single second with our thoughts and feelings as well as with our beliefs and perceptions. With the morning meditation you will get yourself into a coherent state of alpha or theta brainwaves. In those states you will be far more susceptible for suggestions. Your brain will be recalibrated automatically when you do this meditation of open space and you can gear your new Self-consciously towards the new day. During your evening meditation you will get into the present moment and linger in the emptiness of quantum space. As the observer you allow the day to pass by as you become an awareness of possibilties. In that state you will create the next day, your future. Use the meditation for changing your perceptions and beliefs to move into a new state of being. You will do this by marrying a clear intention with a higher emotion. This App will provide you with a range of options in order to get focussed on a specific goal. We are able to influence any condition as well as our outside reality using our mind alone simply by changing our old beliefs and patterns and our perceptions of ourselves and our environment. This App contains: - Morning meditation - Evening meditation - Meditation for changing your convictions and beliefs about yourself - Capacity to write down your goals - Mapping your results daily - Evaluation and statistics - Background information for changing your beliefs and perceptions Note: The Meditations are the same as on the CD or MP3-Download "You are the Placebo #2".We have split the Meditations in the App for a easier daily use into Morning, Evening and Changing Beliefs-Meditation.
