Who Am I?
Amazingly, I'm an average person who happens to have above average happiness levels. I have no reason to be this happy --- I'm not married, not rich, not highly educated, not young, not overly ambitious --- and yet I've found effective ways to practice feeling really good even when times are tough.
It has taken years of trial and error, too much time spent on the wrong focus, unhappiness and depression to develop the happiness skills I now have. I hope you take the time to read my blogs because many of these stories will be forthcoming as we go along. And I look forward to getting to know you through your interaction on the forum and your comments on the blogs posts, as well as what you say about yourself in your profile!
My intention is to share these happiness skills and techniques and at the same time assist in forming a community of people who wish to share their ideas and techniques in a way that honors and inspires everyone who drops by.
The Practice Happiness CD
After studying quantum theory for six years and pondering the possibilities, I was ready for the inspiration that created this CD. I had read many books, watched What the Bleep Do We Know many times, taught the principles of Law of Attraction in the Quantum-Touch workshops and seen The Secret when it came out. I had just finished reading "What To Say When You Talk To Yourself" by Shad Helmstetter when the idea for the CD came to me in a flash in November 2006.
My son, Stephen Sandknop, is a musician and had suffered from sever depression for many years but had been helped finally by undergoing Neurofeedback Therapy in late summer of 2006. We learned that the brain likes to be rewarded for paying attention and that this therapy uses a beep for the reward. We put Stephen's original music and a strong beat with my spoken statements that go beyond affirmations into the realm of the positive new language of manifesting, thus combining our skills and ideas into a winning tool for transformation.
The first track, Self-esteem and Motivation, was finished a mere week after conception and we were so thrilled with the results, the rest of the tracks almost formed themselves. The rough drafts were finished by the end of January 2007 and then it went into final production with Karie Hillery in California. Stephen and Karie did a wonderful job of polishing the tracks and getting them ready for the duplication process. We had our first run of CDs on May 11, 2007.
