‘The End Of Fear’ a UK Publication, is Now an eBook Offering Permanent Cure for Agoraphobia, Phobias, Panics
Hamilton, New Zealand (PRWEB) June 5, 2009
Written by a one-time agoraphobe now counselor of phobias, panic-disorder, anxiety and agoraphobia for the past eight years, ‘The End of Fear’ once a U.K. soft-cover book, is now available as a download able e-book, self-help manual.
For those who suffer from phobias, secret fears, panics, anxiety or agoraphobia they have found the right place for their healing, the only publication promising permanent cure of Agoraphobia. It also explains and treats other phobias. Hypnosis is not used nor recommended. First titled ‘The Mystery of Agoraphobia’ the name was later changed to the current one.
Agoraphobia is a sad condition, still a mystery to medical science. To add to this confusion, this phobia (‘fear of open spaces’ known also as ‘panic-disorder’) is often mistaken for the closely related phobia, ‘claustrophobia’ ( fear of closed spaces). However they are not the same phobia.
To bring healing to victims, it is necessary to scientifically prove the true cause of all human abnormal and secret fear and provide their practical solution. This e-book self-help manual does this.
About the Author:
Weldon Pellew the father of eight children lives in New Zealand. His book is highly accomplished, informative, comforting and long overdue – providing real light on this most urgent and complex subject. For all victims of fear and anxiety and for practitioners alike, it is indispensable and of wide general interest and service in our age of fear and terrorism.

Ultimate Fighter Psychology Coaches Train the Brain for Victory
Ultimate Fighter Psychology Coaches Train the Brain for Victory
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) July 17, 2009
Internationally recognized mental game coaches Stephen Ladd and Bill Gladwell have launched their latest website http://www.RenegadeMindsetForFighters.com, the world’s premier resource for utilizing “alternative sports psychology tactics” to become more a dominant fighter in the ring or octagon.
“Any fighter will tell you that there is a huge mental component to combat sports – MMA, boxing, martial arts, wrestling etc. The ability to stay calm, focused and ‘in the zone’ is vital to consistently fighting to your potential,” says Ladd. “Our system is designed to clear negative emotional issues like fear and self-doubt, and even tackle physical issues like fatigue and pain.”
Renegade Mindset For Fighters ™ is a combat-sport-specific combination of three alternative sports psychology technologies – Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) ™, Energy Psychology and Hypnosis.
“This is definitely not traditional sports psychology”, admits Gladwell. “Many fighters we work with have had less than impressive results with the all the theories from PhDs and positive thinking mumbo jumbo from “The Secret’ proponents. We are coaches, not shrinks, and it’s our passion to teach fighters techniques that they can use immediately to become more dominant and victorious.”
And it seems to be working. Gladwell and Ladd’s program Renegade Mindset For Fighters , which includes a 75 page e-manual and 3 audio hypnosis sessions in download formant, has fighters utilizing the techniques in 14 countries. Michael Sohm of Germany, a competitive judo practitioner, enthusiastically endorses the system. “With Renegade Mindset for Fighters I was able to achieve calmness and confidence, and that gave me great game focus,” reports Sohm.
Even members of the sports medical community have taken notice. Eric Serrano MD, a consultant to world class combat athletes, says, “Renegade Mindset is the future of fight psychology. It may be a bit unusual, but so are the results. And my fighters are after results.”
The new website provides free instructional articles and videos, and a special report “How To Overcome Fear and Pre-Fight Anxiety” – Visit http://www.RenegadeMindsetForFighters.com

New, Revolutionary Course to Stop Smoking Discovered by Bilateral BK Amputee — Offers to Cure President Obama of Smoking
New, Revolutionary Course to Stop Smoking Discovered by Bilateral BK Amputee — Offers to Cure President Obama of Smoking
(PRWEB) September 24, 2009
Jim Creech, a bilateral BK amputee with congestive heart disease caused by smoking has created a new, revolutionary course designed to allow a smoker to stop smoking easily, permanently and without using substitutes.
He is so confident that his method works that he has written a letter to President Obama offering to cure him of smoking. He does do not hesitate to pull out all stops. He calls Mr. Obama stupid, a liar, and irresponsible when dealing with his own habit – smoking.
He is called The Stop Smoking King and herein tells Mr. Obama that he can and will cure him of smoking. Those that have stopped using this method say that “There is no doubt that this method is The Only Way to Stop Smoking Easily”. http://www.theonlywaytostopsmokingeasily.com/testimonials
He points out statistics to show that each year in the United States, approximately 443,000 persons die of a cigarette smoking-attributable illness, (According the Centers for Disease Control – 2004 – http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/tables/index.htm). This has resulted in 5.6 million years of potential life lost, $ 75 billion in direct medical costs, and $ 82 billion in lost productivity – Annually – each and every year.
The revolutionary product called “The Only Way To Stop Smoking Easily” is a new product introduced on the internet. It is considered The Only Way to Stop Smoking Easily.
He claims one should ignore what the government is saying that it is difficult to stop smoking – because it is not difficult at all.
Excerpts from Jim Creech”s Open Letter to Mr. Obama –
The entire letter can be viewed at http://www.thonlywaytostopsmokingeasily.com/lettertoobama
Dear Mr. Obama
“…and in politics, success is all that counts.’ On the other hand, the Republican Party is in tatters and really has no leader…but enough about politics…
…had I thought about my health rather than politics or other issues, I would not have lost my legs – nor would I now suffer from congestive heart disease. I smoked for over 35 miserable years. Had I stopped after the first cigarette, I would have avoided all of my health problems…
… – and the cigarette manufacturers know that as long as they control the game, they win.”
Cigarettes controlled him – he readily admits that. After smoking for over 35 years he knows all the reasons a person smokes and he proves that you too will stop as well – through experimentation.
More excerpts from the letter.
“…But, that was before I found the amazing Secret to Quitting Smoking…
…Mr. Obama – Statistics show that each year in the United States, approximately 443,000 persons die of a cigarette smoking-attributable illness…
…the fix to the costs of your health care plan is staring you right in the face.
…Let’s talk about this pandemic way before even thinking about the H1N1 Virus for God’s sake. Or the wars in Iraq and Afganistan
…Mr. President, it really is time for you to become a non-smoker. Not only for yourself, but for your family, for your country and for the rest of the world.
…Your daughters do not want to see you with no legs, or even worse, dead before your time. For such a brilliant man, you are as stupid as all the other smokers are…
…Success is all that counts with Stopping Smoking as well as with politics.
….having some difficulty in convincing Congress of your health care reform. Of course you are going to have some trouble — You smoke! You promote prevention, but you smoke.
My God! What is the biggest killer of the citizens in the United States? More than all of the wars combined since wars began…
…, the President of the United States, overlooks the primary problem by continuing to smoke. It would be a tremendous boost to your health care plan if you would quit before…
…Tell them and the world that you have quit — think about the political impact of that statement. And the impact on millions of smokers in the United States (approx. 46.2 million) and the rest of the world.
Mr. Creech goes on to say that the biggest Killer of the American people, by a long shot, is smoking.”
This new revolutionary product is available via the internet only. It will solve the smoking crisis throughout the world. It is The Only Way to Stop Smoking Easily.
He stopped – and so can you. Everyone in the world can stop smoking easily.
His approach is unique. It involves autosuggestion and self hypnosis interspersed with facts about stopping smoking – concentrating on the Whys that you smoke.
He says it will save your life. He even guarantees that you will stop smoking using this method.

Weight Problems Gone for Good When True Causes of Excess Weight Are Addressed
Weight Problems Gone for Good When True Causes of Excess Weight Are Addressed
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 25, 2009
Using an innovative approach in hypnosis and energy healing, weight loss can be permanent and a new healthy lifestyle can be adopted easily. Hypnotherapist and Holistic Healer, Avinoam Lerner, has created a four CD set of recordings based on his success with his clients. These recordings are found at his online portal, http://www.MindBody101.com.
It is well known that diets don’t work, and that most of weight loss is regained. Yet, the true reasons for excess weight have not been addressed. Today studies show that change must happen on a deep level using the power of the subconscious mind, but the tools to do so have remained largely elusive. Lerner’s hypnotherapy is designed to reach the deep level of the subconscious where change can happen. His approach not only installs positive and healthy habits, but also to resolve the emotional attachment to these habits, which often sabotage efforts to change. This unique method differentiates Lerner’s program from traditional hypnosis.
Using both hypnosis and energy healing, Lerner addressed the four roots of excess weight: Eating Habits, Emotional Eating, Body Image and Exercise Motivation. With these four parts in place, weight loss becomes not only easy, but automatic. The listener is instructed to spend 20-30 minutes daily listening to a recording for twenty-one days. A new lifestyle is adopted which is conducive to good health and vitality.
“I purchased ‘Overcoming Emotional Eating: Self-Hypnosis’ CD from MindBody101.com and the experience has been better than any diet I ever tried,” says Barbara Elcock of Kansas City. “After the initial 21 days of listening to the soothing voice of Avinoam Lerner and the positive messages he delivers, I have not only lost weight, but have noticed a big change in my eating habits. The CD helps you understand what triggers your mind to send you eating, and teaches you healthier ways to deal with those emotions, rather than “eating” them.”
In fact, Lerner’s clients have successfully reduced blood sugar, cholesterol and high blood pressure. “My blood pressure is lower every time I listen to one of [Avinoam Lerner's] CD’s. I measure it before and after – the difference is amazing!” says M. Malkin of Amherst, MA.
Talk about the great failure of diets has been escalating, even Oprah Winfrey has been addressing her own weight control issues publicly. But a solution exists and it does not involve strict diets and extreme exercise routines. Lerner understands what changes need to occur in the subconscious mind and is able to dissolve the natural resistance to change. The results is a healthy lifestyle for good.
Elcock experienced a whole life transformation. “When you change your mind, you change your life. This method is amazingly effective and will have a positive impact on all areas of your life!”

The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) Announces 2009 Winners; Celebrity Judges Award Grand Prize To UK Songwriter King Charles For His Song “Love Lust”
The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) Announces 2009 Winners; Celebrity Judges Award Grand Prize To UK Songwriter King Charles For His Song “Love Lust”
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 29, 2010
The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) is pleased to announce its 2009 winners. It is with great pleasure that ISC bestows its highest honor, the ISC Grand Prize, to King Charles of London, England for his song “Love Lust,” a brilliantly unique song that stretches the boundaries of contemporary rock with a sonic roller coaster ride of head-rushing, multi-layered instrumentation and vocals. This is the first time the US-based ISC has ever awarded its Grand Prize to a UK songwriter. The Grand Prize winner takes home $ 25,000 in cash (US) and over $ 20,000 in prizes, the largest Grand Prize of any songwriting competition.
Established in 2002, ISC honors amateur and professional songwriters around the world and awards more than $ 150,000 in cash and prizes in all. With judges ranging from Tom Waits, Steve Winwood, Jeff Beck, Robbie Williams, McCoy Tyner, Loretta Lynn, Jerry Lee Lewis, Robert Smith (The Cure) and many more (as well as seven record label Presidents), winning the ISC Grand Prize is an accomplishment that recognizes excellence in the craft of songwriting.
In its eighth year, ISC received almost 15,000 songs from amateur and professional songwriters from almost 100 countries worldwide, confirming ISC’s status as the leading global songwriting event. The New York Times called ISC, “the songwriting competition to take note of.”
For a complete list of 2009 ISC winners and to hear the winning songs, go to http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/winners.htm
The song “Love Lust” was a unanimous selection by the ISC judges. The song, entered into the Rock category, was praised by the ISC judges for its originality, ambitious and innovative arrangement, hooky melody, and poetic lyrics.
Candace Avery, the founder and director of ISC, states, “The song ‘Love Lust’ is one of the most inventive songs I’ve ever heard. It is rare that an artist comes along who is so creative, interesting, and most importantly, authentic. There is such a depth to his artistry that it seems as if the creativity just pours out of him. I am confident he has a hugely successful career ahead of him.”
King Charles only began making music seriously in 2005. Earlier as a boy, he learned the cello, sang in the school choir, and took up guitar, listening to Dylan who he says “made the world bigger for me.” After a year at University, he returned to London, without a degree, but with a new moniker, King Charles. He formed a band, Adventure Playground, and soon they were touring with artists such as Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale, and Mumford and Sons. The song, “Love Lust” is his latest single and demonstrates his keenly original artistry.

Science and Nonduality Conference Announces Program and Speaker Lineup
Science and Nonduality Conference Announces Program and Speaker Lineup
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2009
The first annual conference on Science and Nonduality to be held in San Rafael October 21-24, 2009 has announced details of its program and speaker lineup. The conference will bring together authorities in Western science and Eastern metaphysics to explore areas of mutual interest and inquiry around the topic of nonduality.
Nonduality comes from the Sanskrit word advaita, the understanding that a single reality underlies everything in the universe. Long believed by Eastern philosophers to be pure consciousness, underlying reality is also a primary goal of Western quantum physicists, cosmologists, philosophers and neuroscientists seeking to unravel the mystery of the conscious mind. Such a synthesis could have profound implications for understanding reality and existence.
Featured presenters will include:
Amit Goswami
Stuart Hameroff
Francis Lucille
Daniel Pinchbeck
Jeff Foster
Marilyn Schlitz
Henry Stapp
Stephen Wolinksy
Fred Alan Wolf
Topics include the quantum basis for reality, Buddhism, the neurological correlates of consciousness and healing, and whether the absolute nondual state only exists prior to the emergence of consciousness or the “I” (the conscious self).
Two days of workshops will precede the conference, including presentations by Peter Russell, Amit Goswami, Fred Alan Wolf, Daniel Pinchbeck, Stuart Hameroff and others.
In addition to formal presentations the conference will feature a nonduality-themed film series, art installations, a section to experience nondual reality through meditation, art, dance, hypnosis, and music, and various social events.
University of Arizona professor Stuart Hameroff says: “Connections between consciousness and reality have taken center stage due to similarities between Eastern spiritual practice and counter-intuitive scientific discoveries that challenge everyday views of the world. This conference will explore these connections.”
The event is organized by Neti Neti Media in association with the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS), the Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy Conference, and the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology (ITP). It will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Marin Convention Center, San Rafael, California Thursday October 22 through Sunday October 25, 2009. Pre-conference workshops will be held on October 21-22.
The official website http://www.scienceandnonduality.com contains information and program details. Attendees may register online, and discount rates are available for a limited period.
Neti Neti Media, LLC is an association of filmmakers, scientists, and philosophers committed to expanding human potential by bridging modern science and ancient traditions.

IAG Entertainment Launches Pop Virtual Act “J786″
IAG Entertainment Launches Pop Virtual Act “J786″
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2010
The future of Pop music has arrived courtesy of IAG Entertainment/Starbug Records with the launch of their International Pop Sensation J786. The Electronica-pop inspired singer-songwriter is steadily working on his debut album tentatively scheduled for a Summer 2010 release. With production from what seems like the year 2030 and Triple Grammy Award Winning engineer Joel Numa by his side, (Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Beyonce) J786 looks to dominate the music charts and dance floors with a new era of electronic music.
With artists such as Lady Gaga, Ke$ ha and Black Eyed Peas dominating the airwaves, it’s hard for a new Pop act to breakthrough and standout among the crowd. Where musicians feel the need to imitate to be relative, songs like, “Working Hard” and “I Wanna Be Free” show that J786 is in a league of his own. The smash hit, “I Like You” hypnotizes listeners with saw-buzzing synths, Indian riffs, heart pounding kicks and memorable lyrics.
“We’re taking Pop music back to its roots where it was refreshing and fun,” states J786. “I can say with sheer confidence that we are ahead of the curve and starting a trend with the style of music we’re bringing.”
“We are excited to bring J786 to an International audience,” says IAG Entertainment Co-Founder, Dilip. “He is reviving a lackluster genre with music that transcends the 21st Century. We are definitely going to shake things up a bit in the music industry.”
In addition to planning to take over the world by song, J786 plans on taking over humanitarian issues with his non-profit fund. 100% of J786′s proceeds will provide aid and relief for socio-economic issues and awareness through organizations such as the National Association of Free Clinics which has recently been endorsed by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. Growing up in a poverty stricken household, J786 witnessed his mother succumb to a fatal illness at an early age, due to lack of medical health insurance.
“I love music, but humanitarianism is my passion,” remarks J786. “If I can use music to give to those what was denied to my mother, then I will work day and night until it happens.”
The star plans to release singles, “I Like You” and “Working Hard” this month via iTunes and other online distribution networks. If his sound is any measurement of J786′s foregoing success, then the future is now.
We encourage you to follow J786 at: http://www.twitter.com/j_786 and http://www.iagentertainment.com where snippets from his upcoming album can be heard.
About J786
Far away in the distant future, a group of individuals have created a sound unlike anything the music industry has heard, until now. J786 is an American singer-songwriter that’s electrifying the world of Techno/Electronica with mesmerizing lyrics and futuristic style. From the innovative minds of IAG Entertainment/Starbug Records, the virtual solo Act has his sights set on dominating the dance floors of the universe.
