How high is your MIND POWER ?

The Zen master Hakuin used to tell his students about an old woman who owned a tea shop in the village. She was skilled in the tea ceremony, Hakuin said, and her understanding of Zen was superb. Many students wondered about this and went to the village themselves to check her out. Whenever the old woman saw them coming, she could tell immediately whether they had come to experience the tea, or to probe her grasp of Zen. Those wanting tea she served graciously. For the others wanting to learn about her Zen knowledge, she hid until they approached her door and then attacked them with a fire poker. Only one out of ten managed to escape her beating.

There is a great truth hidden behind this simple zen story-" Those who refuse to use the power of their unconscious minds, end up spending their lives escaping the eyes of their superiors!" How to move ahead in the corporate rat race? One of the main motivating factors to achieving personal and career growth is MIND POWER. Modern day life is full of pressures and stress is one of the main reasons why many in the corporate rat race don't use even 7% of their hidden potential. A recent survey conducted among Indian managers revealed interesting results! Almost 99% of managers surveyed, were not even aware that they were using only 7% of the total capacity of the brain. Thus, the first step in stress management is to become aware that you have to unleash the hidden power of your unconscious mind for faster professional and personal growth. The first step in improving MIND POWER is to become aware of the infinite hard disk capacity and processing power of our supercomputer (brain) effectively managing it by employing ZeNLP MIND POWER techniques like Context-Reflex Meditation, Dynamic Meditation, Chakra Meditation, Yoga, Clapping Meditation, Sound Vibration and Shiatsu.

But the first step to Meditation begins with Awareness! Are you aware that you are having UNLIMITED POWER? Getting your Mind Power levels diagnosed is as easy as filling up the enclosed mind power robe and emailing to us at fenomenon@usa.net

Q17: (Staple your present business card to this questionnaire.)
How many of the thousands of readers will read this questionnaire, take time off to fill these 17 simple questions and mail/email the same to us for analysis. This question is answered in the Zen story which follows:-

One day a child goes to his mother and asks her, "Ma, who is that old man sitting on the mountain? " Mother answers, "Don't call him an old man, for he is Lord Buddha, who knows the answer to every question in this universe." "Really, he knows answers to all questions?" asks the child. "Yes my dear" replies the mother. The child goes to the mountain where Buddha is meditating, catches a butterfly in from the garden, and cupping the butterfly gently in his hands, he aproaches Buddha. Keeping his hand behind his back, he asks Buddha? " Is the thing in my hand alive or dead?" The child thinks that if Buddha answers that the thing is alive, he will crush the butterfly in his hand and show the dead butterfly proving Buddha wrong. And if Buddha answers that the thing is dead, he will open his gently cupped hand, allowing the butterfly to fly away showing that the butterfly was alive and again proving Buddha wrong. Thus Buddha did not know the answer to all questions. " Is the thing in my hand alive or dead?" repeats the eager child. The Buddha opens his eyes, nods his head and replies, "My dear son, the answer lies in your hands!"
