[1] Quotation of the Month: Another great quotation:
Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way. -- Eileen Caddy
[2] The word of the month is “replenish,” as in replenish your spirit, with self-hypnosis. I’m listening to another audiobook and meditation is recommended. Well, self-hypnosis done on a daily basis is just as advantageous as daily meditation. And I think it will help you achieve concete goals faster. Meditation is great and I use both self-hypnosis and meditation often. But with meditation I quiet the mind, and with self-hypnosis I modify my behavior or beliefs with positive suggestions. So meditation is more subtle and more spiritual, perhaps. Self-hypnosis is more practical. I guess that's why I use both. I can see the advantages of both and choose which one will be more helpful for me today. And some days I do both. Neither one has to take longer than 20 minutes. It just depends on your schedule.
[3] Book Review. I am listening to You-- Growing Younger! By Dr. Roisen and Dr. Oz.
In this audiobook, Drs. Roisen and Oz confront the issues of aging with wit and humor. There is much good news. According to the studies they have seen, some twin studies in particular, genes play only 25% in diseases and aging. They believe that the correct care of your body will indeed slow or even stop aging.

[4] Interview of the Month. I am still looking for some used computer equipment in order to complete my audio-studio or a hired computer geek. Please stay tuned... interviews will be available soon.
[5] April Article:
The Hypnotic Fountain of Youth
Ponce de Leon tried to find it here in Florida 500 years ago. What did he find? A bunch of angry natives who threw spears at him. Ponce De Leon had actually come over to the Americas with Christopher Columbus on Columbus’ second visit. Now, Columbus had actually landed on the islands between North and South America, and on South America itself, but not North America. In fact, De Leon did not know he had found an enormous continent when he stumbled upon the North American continent. He thought the Florida peninsula was just another island, in the “West Indies.” Although Columbus had originally thought he found the back door to India, they had figured out it wasn’t India, but maybe some islands off of it’s eastern coast.
Legends about a Fountain of Youth had long been espoused and some suspect the Native Americans of mentioning it to Europeans in order to get more European goods.
Explorers were eager to come to the “New World,” since Christopher Columbus was awarded governance and dominion over the lands he “discovered.” Ponce was also given governance over the islands he discovered (including Puerto Rico), but when he came to the mainland, he met with resistance. The South American natives and Cuban natives had been more friendly to Europeans.
After Queen Isabella died, King Ferdinand sponsored De Leon’s explorations, in hopes of finding the “fountain of youth.”
They never found it. And, in fact, De Leon died at age 47, from an infection from a wound inflicted by a Florida native’s arrow. He fled to Cuba and died there.
No one has found this legendary fountain (yet).
[6] The next meeting of the Tampa Bay Chapter of NGH will take place on April 14, at 7 pm, in Tarpon Springs. Mark Beck will be sharing his secrets about the Rapid and Instant Induction. He will demonstrate his technique and then we can each practice on one another.
Wishing you enlightenment, encouragement and empowerment!
