Here Is What Happened To Matisse…

Here is what happened to Matisse the first time he took up
brush to paint –

“When I started to paint, I felt transported into a kind of
paradise.”

He’s talking about flow. He’s talking about the right
brain. He’s talking about the Buddha brain. He’s talking
about conscious action. He’s talking about presence.

Art of any sort has the ability to put you into the
graceful state of flow. When you are in flow, you enjoy
what you’re doing. You lose self-consciousness. Your
sense of time changes. It disappears completely. It stops
dead in frozen, perfect moments. Or it flies.

If you’re in the Seattle area on Nov. 8th 2008, you can
join us for FLOW AND THE MAGIC OF MAKING ART. Go here for
details.

=> http://www.VitalArts.net/events/

And do sign up to be informed of future classes.

IF YOU’RE NOT going to be in Seattle, paint. Get books on
making art. Visit the libraries of the universe. Go to
art museums. Paint. Draw. Sketch. Doodle. Use your
right brain. You could start with the amazing book –
DRAWING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0874774195/williamwittmannvA/

Do watch this video about the right brain done by Jill
Bolte Taylor, a woman who had a brain breakdown and lost
her left brain, thereby making her completely right
brained. Fascinating. (Note: Oprah has some interviews
with her on-line as well.)

P.S. If you are not in the Seattle area on Nov. 8th, you
can learn about flow in my Life Giving Manual – THE MAGIC
FORMULA — How to Magically Attract the Life You Most Want.

immensely when you get it.

Announcing the Launch of The Wholesome Entrepreneur

When I was putting my affairs in order for my surgery last
winter (when doing major surgery there is always a chance,
however small, of not making it), I updated my wills and I
wrote like mad to finish The Wholesome Entrepreneur. I
wanted to leave it as a legacy for my daughters, both
entrepreneurs, and to the massage profession. I finished
it before I went under general anesthetic.

Obviously, as we all expected, I survived. And I have this
Life Giving Manual for you now.

I launch The Wholesome Entrepreneur, on October 2nd at 6:00
AM PDT.

The subtitle describes the book well –

One Dozen Life-Giving Secrets on How the Wise Entrepreneur
Sustains and Nourishes Body & Soul While Caring for a
Business

I’ve learned the hard way, curled up on the floor in a
fetal position that the self-employed don’t take care of
themselves very well. They need help. This manual shows
them easy steps and some more challenging ones that can
save their lives.

Crash and burn is not pretty. Despair sucks. You and I
want people who can thrive over decades of
entrepreneurship. You want them to be able to sustain this
life of freedom. Right?

I have helped many people to stay sane and thrive over my
thirty plus years as a therapist and mentor. It’s mythic,
even when people are making good money, they still need
help staying whole.

—///—

“Give me one day and I’ll show you how to have a rich,
rewarding, life connected to the Sacred while running a
business.”

When you get your copy of this amazing manual, The
Wholesome Entrepreneur — One Dozen Life-Giving Secrets on
How the Wise Entrepreneur Sustains and Nourishes Body &
Soul While Caring for a Business you’ll discover amazing
secrets like …

What the Zen master from the 6th C has to say that will
change your life. Just think about getting a powerful tip
like this.
• The ultimate perspective clearing device. And if you’re
reading this you know – Perspective Is Everything.

• How to gain inspiration to solve any problem in your
business… This one’s really cool!

• Where to find true joy in your business. Wouldn’t that be
useful?

• How to have unlimited energy for life.

• How to be in alignment with the Sacred and feel supported
in all you do.

• And much, much more …
HERE’S WHAT JOHN GALLAGHER SAYS –

“GREAT! It’s like you wrote it for me!

“I never would have become an entrepreneur without the
tools I learned from William years ago. It blows my mind
that ANYONE can learn these life saving tips in a manual.

“For those of you who WANT to be entrepreneurs, you will
learn how to remove the blocks from preventing you from
realizing your dreams. Hint: There is one secret in this
book that says “Just get to work!”

“William’s techniques take the whole human into account and
really work.

“For those who ARE entrepreneurs, you will learn what you
need to do to keep yourself sane, healthy and happy. There
is no way your business will ever be sustainable without
following Williams 12 Secrets.

“If you want to start your own business or already own one,
you’d be insane not to read The Wholesome Entrepreneur.”

What Are You Hungry For?

Sometimes, I find it hard to tell when I’m really hungry
for nutrients as opposed to being emotionally hungry.

I have been on a long journey to heal some early wounds
around eating. I am much recovered. Because I like to
explore my edges and live outside my comfort zone, I still
find it difficult. Obviously, living outside your comfort
zone, can trigger emotions.

I found this list from Mindless Eating comparing physical
hunger to emotional hunger, helped me, you might find it
useful, too.

Physical Hunger

Builds gradually
Strikes below the neck, e.g. growling stomach
Occurs several hours after a meal
Goes away when full
Eating leads to feeling of satisfaction
Emotional Hunger on the other Hand…

Develops suddenly
Above the neck e.g. a taste for ice cream
Unrelated to time
Persists despite fullness
Eating leads to guilt and shame

Obviously, Not True…

A reader wrote this about my Laser Focused report Amazingly
Content. (http://tinyurl.com/6ybefp )

Since this Ho’oponopono thing is so obviously not true,
I’m going to have to take advantage of your guarantee.
If it is true, then prove it by using it yourself to change

my mind about asking for this refund. See, it ain’t true!

Isn’t that sweet? I smiled and cheerfully refunded his
money. I didn’t try to change his mind. Amazingly enough,
I am content.

But the truth is, I understand what he’s saying.
Ho’oponopono, the method in the report, is obviously
untrue. How could it be otherwise? When I read Dr. Len’s
miraculous story, I thought, “Hmmm.”

I trusted Joe Vitale who told me about it. You can read
his famous email in the report.

Part of Joe’s story is that he didn’t believe it either.
He researched it at length. He had telephone conversations
with Dr. Len. Eventually, they met. Still it took Joe a
long time to get it.

Even though I trust Joe, I researched it, too. I think I
read everything that Joe wrote about it, and yet I was
still skeptical. Because I don’t understand it, I am still
skeptical. I do note that it works. I don’t let my
skepticism get in the way of receiving the benefits of
being in love with everyone and everything.
I Test Everything

Did you know I graduated in Engineering and Applied Physics
from Harvard? I like to test stuff.

You may know that before I tell you to try anything, I have
tested it first in my own life. Then I refine the tests in
the laboratory of my friends, family, and patients. If it
passes those tests, I tell you. It passed all those tests
and I wrote Amazingly Content for you.
(http://tinyurl.com/6ybefp )
Now, I travel around being in love with everything and
everyone. And I feel Amazingly Content.
(http://tinyurl.com/6ybefp )

And don’t let Suzanne Burroughs know that it’s not true,
it’s working too well for her. You can read what she said here

Which Is Sacred? (A 50-Word Mini Saga)

      Which is sacred – The fast-food box floating at the lake
      edge or the swallows zooming over the surface hunting?
      Practicing Taiji, my bliss in the present moment deepens
      while I dance with the darting swallows. The Styrofoam
      interrupts. How to find the sacred even there? Bobbing
      beautifully, dazzling light – Ah. (50 words.)

Can you hear the heavenly choir in the lawnmower? Can you
hear it sing in the leaf blower? (The big park lawn mower
was swooping around me as I practiced my morning Taiji as
it does each Monday morning.

Can you find the Sacred Present in litter floating in the
pristine lake?

After all, you spend more time with these things than in
the so-called Sacred places. Wouldn’t it be useful to
learn to find the Sacred anywhere any time?

You can. Just listen to the sounds of the lawnmower. Just
be with them. Without judging. Without resisting.

I often tighten up when I hear unpleasant sounds and
research shows noise pollution amongst the worst forms of
pollution regarding the effects on human and animal health.

When I just listen, relax the cringing, the Holy Angels
sing inside the lawn mower and even the leaf blower.

The Styrofoam? As I removed it from my lake, I was
mesmerized by the beauty of the light on it and the way the
wavelets caressed it and the way the Styrofoam played at
the very top surface of the water. My mind was quiet. I
was as peaceful and full of light as the most serene
meditation.

So, where is the sacred? Find some trash and be with it.

Blessings,

William

you in being present and making your decisions. The book

Decisions, and Create an Extraordinarily Rich Life.

Announcing Foolproof Relaxation

Today, I happily announce a Laser Focused Report – Foolproof Relaxation. Taa-ta!

It can show you How to Relax, Become Present, And Be At Ease Anytime and Anywhere You Want. No kidding!

How? Read these stories…

Yikes! Demons and Worries

Three AM and the demons of worry are here. Yikes! Toss and turn. Get up and pee. Get a drink of water. Back in bed, the fears wait for you. Still no sleep. Thoughts racing and repeating… What to do?

Obviously, you use the methods you learn from Foolproof Relaxation.

With Foolproof Relaxation, you will know what to do when you can’t get back to sleep after the 3:00 AM night demons wake you with their obsessive, compulsive mind looping worries.

In short order, you will be able to go back to peaceful sleep in most instances. Just picture how cool that is.

For the other instances, you’ll enjoy a pleasurable deep rest, then sleep. Simply, amazing.

Repeated research proves you will gain more rest from this method than sleep itself would produce. Cool.

How You Can Smooth Your Next Dental Visit

Using Foolproof Relaxation you will learn to be at ease in the dentist’s chair. I even have fun with it. Maybe you can, too.

Other Times you can benefit by using Foolproof Relaxation You can learn to be alert and at ease in dreadful meetings. Can you imagine the benefit of this?

At some point, you are likely to be in a hospital waiting room, attending a loved one. Using this method, you can remain present and calm your anxieties. When you do that, you will be of immense value to your loved ones – both the person hospitalized and the others who are waiting in fear.

Clearly, this is a grim reality, but take it from me, you’ll want this tool then.

For Adults Only – another powerful time for Foolproof Relaxation

My friend, Joseph, is dying of colon cancer. When he awakens with sensations in his gut, the demons mercilessly jump on him and fan his fears into infernos. The sensations may be nothing at all, or they may be the cancer working its ways. Joseph uses Foolproof Relaxation effectively to calm himself.

If it can work with some truly scary stuff, it will work wonders for you, too.

Oh, yes, it works with your garden-variety, everyday stress very well. Use it daily for ten minutes or more and watch what happens to the quality of your life.

You’ll be more peaceful, calm, playful, and smiling. Pretty cool, right?

Let’s move on…

How Do You Know If This Laser Focused Report Will Benefit You When You Get It?

Do you experience discomfort ever? Of course, you do.

Do you experience fear in the hospital? The dentist’s? The doctor’s? Being with your boss or manager?

Do you have trouble getting to sleep because of your obsessive, compulsive mind looping, thinking, or worrying?

Do you ever want to be more relaxed? More peaceful?

Do you wish you could be present in an instant? Have you been listening to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah and learning about presence? Have you read The Power of Now or The New Earth? This is a great way to be more present. Fast!

If you can say, “Yes” to any of these, then, obviously, Foolproof Rexaxation will serve you beautifully. Get Foolproof Relaxation. (Scroll to the bottom to get it now.)

What Does It Mean When I Say This Report Is Laser Focused And Deep As A Well?

I have focused on just one area and carefully avoided all the side roads I usually love to explore. You will find FOOLPROOF RELAXATION’S twelve plus pages to be direct, yet thorough enough that you will know easily how to use the material. You will be able to apply the insights to your daily life in quick order. You’ll get the happy results you want.

I mean you will know how to relax, become present, and be at ease anytime and anywhere you want.

Tolle Trick for Presence in the Office

Here’s another trick from Eckhart Tolle to get present when
the phone rings. It’s especially useful if you work in an
office setting.

Studies show that a ringing phone bugs people — too many
rings in the day creates a stressful hazard. Here’s the
antidote…

When your phone rings, don’t answer it. That is a radical
choice right there. I have used this effectively in the
past to create vast realms of freedom. Experiment with
this one.

But that’s not Tolle, that’s me. Here’s what he suggests:
Let it ring once, twice, or thrice while you listen to it
fully. Be present to the sound. Feel your body as you
listen. Notice your breath. Listened to with full
attention, without resistance, even a leaf blower becomes
sacred. A telephone is a piece of cake.

Now answer the phone.

Cool. Don’t be surprised if you’re laughing when you
answer it. Play with it you will be amazed at how fun this
becomes.

Blessings,

William

Instantly Alert and at Peace will serve you well if you

Magic with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle

I struggle with my own craziness all the time. When I’m
crazy, I am living inside of my mind listening to a
strident voice harangue over a tinny radio urging me to
blame my closest friends and my wife for my troubles.

If I take the time to get present — and I know lots of
ways to do that – I return to a connection with the Present
and Presence. I become sane. I am happy and serene.

Eckhart Tolle who penned the best seller The Power of Now
wrote a follow up book – A New Earth. He is teaming up
with Oprah to bring you live webcasts to talk about this
stuff. Watch them or download them as podcasts. Cost =
$0.0.

http://www.oprah.com/obc_classic/webevent_registration.html
I recommend you watch at least one to get a deeper feel for
who these folks are. Then you can podcast if you want.

You’ll have to register at Oprah’s and download a special
viewer before you can watch these. And there are ads. No
sweat, it’s easy.

It will be worth it, I promise.

Blessings,

William

Regain Your Sanity Instantly

Obviously, you’d like a technique that can restore you to
sanity and help you to regain your perspective instantly,
right?

I have a technique wherein you can instantly shift your
perception and become sane and grounded and whole. Well,
not quite true. There’s a catch. The shift happens
instantly, but you have to be in the right frame of mind to
flip the switch.

The good news is that if you practice this before you need
it, it becomes so fast for you that even when you’re nuts
you can go to your special spot and flip the switch to sane
grounded and whole.
Here’s How What Need

First, did you know that you can directly perceive the
curvature of the earth? You can. You need two things to
be able to do it, maybe three. First, you have to know
it’s possible.

Second, you need a big enough space that also quite flat.
Tian An Men square in Beijing at 440.000 square meters is
the largest square in the world. Tian An Men has the
reputation of being so big you can perceive the curvature
of the earth here. I haven’t been.

The best is the open sea, of course. Nothing blocks the
view. According to naval author, Patrick O’Brian, the
horizon is 3-5 miles away depending on how far off the
surface you are viewing from. Conveniently, that means my
Salish Sea, AKA Puget Sound, allows me to easily see the
curvature. But even Lake Washington is wide enough for me
to gain the perspective.

Third, you have to quiet your mind enough so that it can
perceive the curve. Most of us still live on the flat
earth.
Here’s What You Do

Find a big flat place. Do you live near the ocean? By a
lake? Can you find a huge space where you can see the
horizon? Go there. If you don’t have this, see what you
can do with your imagination.
Stand or sit looking out at your space. Gaze at the
horizon. Let your eyes go soft. Take in the space with
your peripheral vision. Stretch it to the edges. Now, let
yourself see the curve.

In order to perceive the curvature, you need to access a
different area of your brain than the chattering monkey
part of your mind. The shift happens accessing your
peripheral vision and by hanging in until you perceive the
curve.

Notice how you feel when you perceive the curve. What
things shift for you? Let me know; I’d love to hear.

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round…aaaaaahhhhhh

—Because by the Beatles.

How to Make Difficult Decisions

Here’s how you can use your body to make decisions. Hold the question in your mind. Recently, I was wrestling with what price to set for my private membership monthly subscription rate. In this example I ask, “Is $9.97 a good price?”

I then feel my body’s responses. I mostly feel my belly. You can experiment to find the place in your body that responds best. Just scan your whole body top to bottom. Close your eyes. It helps.

My body “smiles” with the price of $9.97.

Now I try the other side of the decision, the other choice. I ask, “What happens if I drop my price from $15? Should I keep it at $15? After all, it’s 50% more money.” My belly gets tight. I want to hold onto the $15. In other words, my fear comes up. I fear I won’t make enough money to keep the sight running.

Clearly, you and I don’t want to operate from fear. And a smiling body is a good thing. Obviously, I chose to lower the fee from $15 to $9.97 making it easier from my private members to continually enjoy benefits.

This is an excellent example of your body and soul working together, wouldn’t you agree?

For a more thorough approach, the mysterious Madam Ling lives for a day with one of the two choices she is weighing and notices her body. Then the next day she does the same with the other choice.

When the answer from your body is unclear, use this simple approach. Use the same method and sleep on it. In the morning ask the question and it will be clear. Your subconscious will have figured it out while you put your attention elsewhere.

Blessings,

William
