There’s nothing quite like a weekend with John DeMartini to shake up your perception of the world! As I’ve said in the past that your perception shapes the world and this was one of the core ‘knowings’ that John has.
One of the biggest things that I personally took away from the weekend was that I now appreciate more than ever those people who’ve hurt me, pissed me off or challenged me because it’s through them that I’ve grown the most! I used to often tread on egg shells trying to protect peoples but in many ways that is probably one of the most detrimental things I can do, not only to myself but to others too!
Another I thing I learned well was to not to subhordinate to or think of myself above anyone. As soon as you do you negate yourself or negate them instead of that owning all the traits you see. Whether you percieve them to be negtive or positive, you have those traits, take ownership of them as you also have them and be grateful for them because whether you realise it or not they have served you. Ask yourself where they have served you and feel gratitude; say ‘thank you’!
Hi All,
John DeMartini is back in London and I’m fortunate enough to be attending the Breakthrough Experience this weekend. He is also giving his inspiring talks on Tuesday 24th and Thursday 26th of June and there are still tickets available and because you found out through here you can get the special rate ticket of just £20. Click here to book your ticket!
I believe there are also still tickets available for John DeMartini’s Breakthrough Experience weekend for which you can get tickets from here. He is also running a speed reading course on Friday 27th of June and you can get tickets for that here
For those that have not heard of him, JDM was also featured on ‘The Secret’ and has written somewhere in the region of 250 books and has himself read over 29000 texts on philosophy, science, spirituality and theology.
If you’ve never heard John speak then I can assure you his is by far one of the most inspiring speakers I’ve had the pleasure of hearing. So take this opportunity now, get a ticket and make sure you get down there to hear this inspiring man speak!

Just last week I got asked to do a charity stand-up comedy gig at a bar called Ruby Blues in Leicester Sq which I’ll be doing that this evening. It hasn’t given me much time to prepare and I have yet to complete my new routine so I decided for now, as it was such short notice, that I’d stick with my older material.
This in itself is a new challenge as this time I will not be with the usual Humili-Asian crew. It’ll be my first gig as just me performing for an audience. I won’t lie, I’m incredibly nervous but I’m just going to go out there and have as much fun as I possibly can!! 
As Susan Jeffers would say, feel the fear and do it anyway!
Also, on Saturday I’ll be on stage hosting the Hanwell Carnival. This is the first time I’ve been asked to do it and I’m really excited about that. It’s open to anyone who wants to come along so if you want to come along and have fun you’re more than welcome to do so, the kids will love it and feel free to bring along friends and family too!
I saw the clip of the ‘Evolution of Dance’ with Judson Laipply on youtube a long while ago but I didn’t realise at the time that he was an inspirational speaker and does stand-up comedy just like I do. I found another clip of him being interviewed and also talking about the power of choice and I thought I would share it with you too.
And if you’ve never seen the full clip of the ‘Evolution of Dance’ then here it is; you’re in for a real treat!! 
Amit Sodha | 100 Days..., Growth and Self Development, Humour, Vision | 06 13th, 2008| No Comments »A lot of people have asked me why I’ve gotten into doing stand-up comedy and there are two main reasons that have driven me to give it a go:
1) Firstly comedy has the ability of taking any predjudices, insecurities, differences, etc and giving people a new perspective on them that makes them see the lighter side of it. Comedy the ability of showing the lighter side of any dark situation. Not only that it allows me to take the things I feel most fear over and make them funny. Because of that the fear evaporates quickly and effortlessly. I have had my fair share of animosity and self loathing and I knew that comedy would be one sure fire way of demolishing both of those.
2) I wanted to become a better public speaker as it’s something that has given me a lot of fear over the years and I knew that doing stand-up comedy would be one excellent way of essentially taking a crash course in public speaking. I happen to agree with people now when they that stand-up comedy is one of the most difficult thngs you can do. It really is!! It takes so much preparation and planning and ultimately you don’t know whether you’ll be funny or not but all you can go is go and give it your best! I will definitely say that it has helped my public speaking. I do have a long way to go but I’ve probably learned more it so far than most people do by doing 5 years of public speaking courses.
It’s scary but if it’s an idea you’ve toyed then my advice to you is go for it!
Essentially though it’s about feeling good and comedy is a great way of getting past things like anger, fear, and resentment! No one will expect you to become an expert at it but give it a go, just a 5 minute set and think about all the things you’ve feared in the past and how you can now see the lighter side of them!
The true identity crisis is one where people get so caught up in being identified with labels that they forget the bigger picture. Are you caught up with the labels of being: ‘British’, ‘Christian’, ‘Jew’, ‘Muslim’, ‘American’ etc?
More often than not it doesn’t represent a divide in values as most people believe it to be as globally people want the same thing but it just represents borders of laws and economics.
The truth is there is only one label that we all really need to identify with that that is the label of the spirit of humanity. Forget about putting so much importance on being a ‘Hindu’ or being ‘British’ and only focus on the label of humanity.
The greatest social challenge facing humanity is not one of economic divide but one of spiritual divide. The gap between those who want to help others and those that want to hurt others is increasing. The solution is simple; More acts of kindness and more compassion. Just as negativity can be contagious so can positivity too and it can spread faster too. Think of the person you admire the most, the person you find seems to ooze and aura of inner self certainty and mirror them in the things you do.
Amit Sodha | Amits Quotes, Creative, Daily, Empowerment, Growth and Self Development, Perception, Positive Thoughts, Proactivity, Tips, Wisdom | 06 4th, 2008| 2 Comments »I had a wonderful response from my last article and decided to get inspired to write a follow up. These tools are things that we naturally do anyway but these articles are a way of bringing them to your attention so that you can do them more consciously and use them at will.
So I decided to get into my inspired state and see what else would come to me. That brings me straight onto my first part of my 3 advanced accelerator tools.
i) Inspired State - Flash moments of inspiration occur for us all but how often can you dictate when and where that moment of inspiration occurs for you? You may not always be in that state 24/7 but what you can do is esbalish your mechanism for getting yourself into that state frequently and at your own behest. Think back to a time when you were in an inspired state where ideas came to you easily and naturally. Now find the key elements of the process and replicate them here and now. Once you find those key elements you are in a position to get into that state at crucial moments for your life.
ii) Flow - Flow is when you get into the stream of doing without conscious thought being present. Your conscious awareness can even be elsewhere while your subconscious becomes the main driver. Time also ceases to have it’s place when you’re in your flow state. Your flow state in many ways is similar to dreaming. No one taught you how to dream. It’s just something which is inherent within all of us. The same goes for flow state and is the most natural feeling during any task or activity to be in; when everything just flows seemlessly. Think back to a time when you had such a moment and spot the pattern that got you into your flow state. If you can’t think of one think back a time possibly when you were revising for exams and you were so focussed that when you look up at the clock 4 hours and passed as if it was just an hour or so.
iii) Internal Wisdom - Internal wisdom differs from inspired state in that when in the inspired state you may often get a flash of inspiration while in flow relating to any random subject whereas connecting with your internal wisdom you ask a direct question and get a clear direct answer. Whether you’ve experienced this personal phenomenon before not; I assure you, everyone has access to a limitless supply of internal wisdom. Mostly, like the inspired state, you will get the most succinct answers when you are very centered and focussed.
I’m sure while reading this you felt a sense of familiarity and resonance with each of these zones and now it’s up to you to develop each one consciously and use them at will unconsciously.
Amit Sodha | Creative, Empowerment, Growth and Self Development, Motivation, Perception, Proactivity, Self Esteem, Tips | 06 1st, 2008| 3 Comments »As with anything in life you will reach pinnacle or plateau points where you feel like you can go no further. So it begs the question of how some people get further than others. How do some people get to be the best? If they got to that point why can’t you? Yes, of course, you need things like determination, confidence and self esteem but what specifically is it that takes us from one level of expertise to an even higher level of expertise?
There are 3 key things that you need or powers which you need to develop in order to get off the flats and be back on the incline to your desired point. It’s essential to have a clear idea of where you would like to get to but know that, no matter where you are right now, there is no reason that you cannot accelerate at the same rate as a child does when s/he is introduced to something new.
To boost yourself you need to boost your M.I.C. You may have guessed I happen to like my Acronyms! So what does M.I.C stand for?
i) Memory
ii) Imagination
iii) Concentration
i) Memory - If you suffer from a bad memory then it’s crucial you learn different ways of utilising your memory. I used to think that I had a bad memory. I used to say to people that I had trouble remembering names and faces and yet my memory for numbers was excellent. Why? What was it that separated numbers from names and faces? I’ve got to be honest, to this day I’m still not even quite sure what it was but I knew that I didn’t want to suffer the embarrassment of forgetting peoples names and even faces any more. What I did realise is that I wasn’t making enough of an effort to remember peoples names and now I find that since I started making more of an effort to do so that I can now remember 95% of the names of the people I meet; it’s now only the rare occasion now that I forget. I’ll leave you to find your own method or technique for improving your memory but it is an essential skill.
Your memory is key when it comes to learning. Sounds like an obvious statement I know but what people don’t realise with learning is that in order to change something that has up until now been a habit, you need your memory to intervene and take over. Let’s take a look at an example. You’ve been playing tennis for a year and you’ve hit a plateau and so you decide to hire a coach. Your coach is going to teach you new techniques. You need to memorise those techniques and then apply then. If you don’t remember to apply the new techniques frequently enough your old habits will continue to reign supreme and your new learning’s won’t be able to cut in and take over. You can only do that if you remember to apply the new teachings from your coach. Does that make sense?
Another example is in dealing with people. Let’s say you learn a great NLP technique for communicating with people. Unless you remember to apply it at the appropriate times, that technique is useless to you. I remember that when I was at the Brahma Kumaris they often to this as being “Yukti Yukt” which translated means applying the right technique at the right time.
ii) Imagination - I’m a firm believer that unless we employ creativity in our daily routine we become stale and lose momentum with life overall. Life in fact begins to lose its meaning to us. Repetition is important for certain skills we need to develop. Let’s say you’re a basketball player, the more times you throw the ball the hoop the better you are going to get at it. If something is not working you need to find a new way of doing it or having a new outlook upon it. To illustrate, take your job for example, there are certain aspects that are going to have repetition but it may get very boring to you unless you bring variety to it. Sometimes you can’t change what you do but you can change the way you look at what you do.
Invention and innovation are crucial to personal improvement. I was recently commuting on the tube and I just wasn’t in the mood to read a book as I often do and I didn’t want to waste that valuable time either. So I decided to use that time to meditate and I was shocked by the results. I found it so easy to meditate and the results were also that I had many new ideas flow to me during that time. So it was a change of outlook and activity that enabled me to have a whole new experience of something I do regularly i.e. traveling on the tube. The key here is not to allow yourself to get bored. If you feel bored start the engine of your imagination and see what you can conjure up for that free time!
iii) Concentration - I’m a Piscean and we’re renowned for being dreamers and procrastinating; I am no exception! 
However what I realised what that when I did day-dream or drift off my concentration on my day-dream was exceptional! If people tried to distract me from my day-dream they’d have a tough time of it. So I realised it was not my concentration that lacked but rather what I was concentrating on. The final key here is learning to stay focus on something for extended periods of time despite any challenges you might face.
If we go back to the tennis example only this time you’re playing a grueling match which has been going on for hours. It’s neck and neck, both you and your partner are exhausted. The winner of the game will undoubtedly be the one that can maintain concentration or focus on the closing of the game and not let their focus wander onto how tired they are or even the thought of making mistakes on closing points.
It’s an easy skill to develop. I always thought that I didn’t have the ability to concentrate and yet I’ve been sat here for the last hour and a half straight through totally focused on this article. It’s easy to do once you get into the flow of what you’re doing by not letting those little thoughts that creep in take over.

The 3 core skills are a simple way of accelerating your personal growth and skipping past your plateau.
On Saturday I went to the Art of allowing workshop with Abraham Hicks. (Jerry and Esther were there too of course)
It was a very powerful workshop, full of so much useful information, and insights into various aspects of life, intentions, manifesting and of course the art of allowing.
I definitely learned a lot but I also feel like I’m getting to a point that because of the amount of books I read, tapes I listen to and the seminars I attend that I feel as if I’m almost not learning anything new. That’s not a bad thing in itself as it’s good to hear repeated information as the more times you hear it the more likely it is to sink in.
What this does tell me though is that it’s time begin the art of practising. In many ways I feel flooded with information. Actually, let me change that word flooded to overflowing instead, and now all that’s left is simply putting it into practise on a day to day, moment to moment basis.
With every interaction there is an opportunity to practise. With every new event there is an opportunity to practise. Often the trick is remembering to practise and not letting old habits take the wheel so to speak. That is the battle, it’s an art of war against my old habits with my new ways of thinking.
Learn to practise what you learn on a regular basis. See every moment as an opportunity to practise and therefore slowly but surely grow happy and better prepared to make the most of life.
The fusion of Business, Science, Spirituality and Politics has already begun. People are beginning to understand that there is actually no separation between them, they are all facets of the same universal system. I see more and more companies adopting the holistic approach when it comes to it’s values and the training of it’s people. There is a very fine line between all of these that is slowly fading away!

Do you want to make changes to the way you look? Are you fed up with being overweight and deep down inside worried about people really think about you? (Even though they may not be thinking anything but in your mind they are.) Are you fed up with getting to the top of the stairs and being exhausted? Are you tired of not feeling attractive to the opposite sex?
A while back I mentioned that I wanted to started posting a series based on weight loss, fitness training, exercise for overweight people who weren’t sure how to being the process of changing their physical state and for anyone else who wanted to begin a new chapter with their physical condition.
When I began my journey just over three years ago I was in terrible shape, and that is putting it mildly, however I know that there are people in much worse shape than I was. Starting a new regime is easy and sticking to it is only the beginning of the challenge. Initially the weight drop will be fast and easy but then that will slow and plateau. Then there will be motivation issues and other temptations to contend with.
Everyone once in a while feels the surge of energy to act and make changes but that doesn’t last long if preparations aren’t made to maintain the enthusiasm for undertaking a new personal project. There are ways to combat this and I’ll share more of those a little later on. Then there things that pop up out of the blue that will also hinder your progress such as injuries and they can at times be soul destroying as you’re making such good progress it is very often at those times that injuries occur, almost as a test to your resolve.
There are many methods of weight loss and I have friends who tried varied weight loss systems that involve eating bars and shakes for breakfast lunch and dinner. Some have had success and some have had temporary success and some have had no success because sticking to those programs involves enormous amounts of will power and resistance.
I’m going to be offering you my suggestions and principles that should hopefully make the slimming down fun, easy, and gradual. If you expect massive losses consistently you’re kidding yourself. This process can take months and sometimes even years however time will become irrelevant because you’ll be enjoying what you’re doing so it will become part of your overall lifestyle rather than just something you do for a few months and then eventually give up.
The keys here are variety, enjoyment sustainability and pleasure. If you incorporate these four keys slimming down does become a breeze; something that you don’t have to even think about and something that doesn’t make you feel guilty just because you happen to miss a day!
To begin with:
1) Most people would say start by creating a goal. I say forget that for now and just make a start. The more specific goal setting can come later but for now just make your goal to start exercising whilst having some fun!
2) Find something energetic that you ENJOY doing! It can be a sport, going to the gym, walking, swimming, running etc pretty much anything you like that you like! Start doing it on a regular basis!
3) However, here is something that is extremely important and it’s a mistake most people make when undertaking a new program like this. Many people exercise until they get tired and end up having that achy feeling for the next few days. When that happens they feel reluctant to continue exercising because they’ve anchored that feeling into their body. It doesn’t last but if that happens for the first few sessions it’s what beginners remember the most and it’s that feeling which then puts them off maintaining that program.
Here’s the key: Exercise to the point where you are enjoying the exercise and stop well before the point of feeling tired! Do this for the first few months! Yes, you heard me right, the first few months especially if right now you’re classed as being ‘overweight’. This has a few objectives: i) It Anchors the feeling of enjoying exercise. ii) It gives your body the time to get used to the exercise especially for your joints. iii) You won’t be put off the exercise because you won’t have the exhausted feeling that can come from vigorous exercise.
I can’t stress enough how important it is for you to find something you enjoy doing. Enjoyment is the best motivation tool there is. It doesn’t matter what else you try and use as leverage on yourself; whether that be money, becoming more desirable to the opposite sex, or just to look good, nothing will beat sheer enjoyment. Let me explain what I’m talking about. When it comes to exercise badminton is my passion. If my body could allow me to play more then I would probably play 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If I had the choice between a hot date and badminton, badminton would win hands down every time!
That brings me onto my final point. Plenty of people come up to me and tell me: “Amit, I need to lose weight for the summer so I’m going to join the gym!” At this point, I debate about whether to roll around on the floor laughing for the next 15 minutes or whether to explain to them direct. The former never goes down that well so let me go ahead and explain the latter.
As I mentioned earlier, the greatest motivational force is pure enjoyment. When you enjoy something you never have to even think about getting up to do it, you just, do it! Thinking that the fact that £50 is coming out of your bank account is going to be enough of a motivator to get you to go to the gym then you’re deluding yourself. Here’s the rub: Get into the habit of exercising now without a gym. If you can do that for 3 months, then fine, go ahead and join the gym and go use the variety of equipment and classes. Until that point though firmly establish your good habits first and then decide on longer term commitments later. If you absolutely feel the need to join the gym then ask them gym if they do a trial membership for a month or so before they tie you into long contracts which you later cannot get out of.
These are the first few steps to take. Make a start now and do what I said and you’ll find that you enjoy the process of exercising and losing weight rather than feeling like it is a chore of necessity.
Part two coming soon!
On Friday I had the great priviledge of meeting and playing a game with Rajiv Ouseph who is the number 1 badminton player in England.
He came along to meet some of the kids at our club which put a huge smile on their faces as they had their pictures taken with them and he even gave them his autograph….it put a huge smile on my face too!
This week he’s off to Malaysia for the Thomas Cup (Badmintons equivalent to the Tennis’s Davis Cup) so join me in wishing him and the rest of the team all the best in the tournament!
Hi All,
This is slightly adrift of my normal theme of posting but I thought why not combine something fun with also some friendly discussion and debate. DC will be appearing in the movie and so I wanted to find out what your thoughts were on the clip and it’s effect on the perceptions of eastern teachings.
I’ve always been a fan of Mike Myers and the clip made me giggle! Watch the clip and see what you think. Please also feel free to share your thoughts:
He does say he is a man of no one faith or religion, but there is some clear religious iconography and terminology used in different videos and sites related to the movie.
It’s bizarre as on my radio show I play a character called the love doctor…uncanny!
What I think may work as a strategy for anything and what does actually work is two very different things. So even if you think something might not work it may be worth giving it a try. Don’t be afraid to try different different approaches and strategies because If you never try you will never know!
Gary Renard will be speaking at event in London.

Amit Sodha | 100 Days..., God, Law of Attraction, Manifesting (LoA), Positive Thoughts, Relationships, Vision | 04 27th, 2008| No Comments »When I was collecting stories for my radio show a few weeks ago I came across this story of how Estelle came to meet Kanye West which eventually led to them forming a collaboration and creating the number one hit ‘American Boy’.
“Estelle has revealed that she first met her musical collaborator Kanye West at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘n’ Waffles.
The pair, who are currently number one in the UK charts with the single ‘American Boy’, bumped into each other at the Hollywood soul food eatery.
She told the Daily Telegraph: “I went to Roscoe’s Chicken and bumped into Kanye.
“I was like, ‘Lord, if you’re above, I need to meet Kanye, he needs to come outside.’ Ten seconds later he came out and I went ‘Thank you, Jesus!’”
(Taken from Digital Spy)
A powerful example of not only the power of asking but also the power of gratitude too.
