What People are Saying about The American Monk MindBox
"Burt's teachings are always there for me whenever I seem to need it most."
"About twenty-three years ago my husband and I were going through difficult divorces and dealing with uncontrollable stress. Your [teachings] really got us through a lot. We will be celebrating our twentieth anniversary next month, and have a blended family who not only are glad we married each other, but love to be with us and each other.
I just wanted you to know that when you teach someone the power of their mind, that information is not only invaluable, but never lost - even with the passage of time - I access your teachings often. Thank you for getting me through a difficult time."
"Positive Energy for Building another Future for Myself"
"I am a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, from New Orleans, and since that life-altering event, I have been reaching out for every possible tool and benefit that I can attain, in my attempt to rebuild my life and career. I am a multi-disciplinary performance artist, and teacher of various arts education programs of my own creation, formerly in the Orleans Parish Public Schools System.
As most of my work was interrupted by the destruction and closure of the schools and many of the performance venues where I had formerly presented my creation, I had to direct my creativity towards the considerable effort of recreating my artistic life.
I am still in that process, and have used many of the visualization, meditation and emotional management techniques you have created, as a way of helping myself on the path. Along with my yoga and tai chi practice, I have managed to transform most of the rage and frustrations I had felt in the early stages into positive energy for building another future for myself."
"The Very Important Part of Me is Back."
"Some twelve year ago I had the opportunity to read one book on Silva Method (I don't remember names of the authors). I was still studying at the time and book was borrowed from a friend's friend, so I had it for a week... I remember reading it in a hurry, feeling totally impressed and then continuing with the pressing problems of the 'real' life - so whatever came out of this reading, it didn't last...
I have finished my studies and become M.D. (which is accomplishment by itself), but I have always had this artistic urge - I also have been illustrator and draftsman and I have somehow managed to keep those two sides of my life reasonably together...
Then some six years ago Doctor started to take over Mister Hyde ;o)... somehow I lost the urge to create, got lost in immediate needs... I felt that very important part of me is missing... even more, I couldn't make myself draw - somehow I felt blocked and powerless... And although everything else worked fine for me, I felt this need to express myself artistically, and that part of me was blocked...
I read the online course and started meditating daily... mostly using afirmations... and unbealivibly I started drawing again... I am little bit afraid to say this aloud - I feel that very important part of me is back - you can see my drawings at www.ristesekuloski.blogspot.com
I am aware that this testimonial sounds a bit trivial - I didn't heal myself from any disease, I didn't make ton of money... but believe me, by removing mental block that was stopping me from being creative, I feel that I have done something equally important!
Thank you, Burt! You have done something great for me!"
"My Favorite Exercise is the Daisy Pond - A Sensual and Psychological Oasis!"
"Consistent use of the kit - in listening to and thinking about the lectures, and in participating in the meditations - has been of benefit in many aspects of my life. One of the greatest is the results that come from committing to, and sticking with, "the practice." We tend to think of "habits" as mindless, bad things - but the habit of practicing with the Field Kit is the opposite - mindful, and very, very good!
Without a doubt, my favorite exercise is the Daisy Pond. I am a small business owner; my days are typically hectic and taking a few minutes in the middle of the day to swim and float in that magical place changes my perception of - literally - everything. It is a sensual and psychological oasis!
My ability to focus is stronger. My intuition is higher, my interactions with the people around me are more mindful. What I love about this program is how well it integrates with other practices in my life, such as the study of quantum mechanics and working with Jungian archetypes...the program is, in some respects, a synthesis of all of those other paths."
"Easy-to-Implement and Instantly Effective."
"The Goldman method is the most practical, yet mysterious program for effectively using your mind for personal success. It's my job to study tools and strategies for personal-growth, and Burt Goldman is #1 in the field of Self-Help.
I'm the educational director for SpeedLearning Institute, an international licensor of accelerated learning techniques to colleges and corporations. My background is law, and I was the business partner of Evelyn Wood, creator of speed reading; we graduated 2 million, including the White House staff of four U.S. Presidents. We recommend the purchase of the Goldman Method materials to our graduate-students and executives because they are easy-to-implement, and instantly effective.
"The Magic of Desire, Belief and Expectation", lucidly explains how to run your life instead of life running you. It helps you reduce stress so you can fulfill your potential. It does not create geniuses, but allows you to release your hardwired gifts and talents. His baby-easy approach to meditation caused me to stop twice-a-day to go to my Alpha level for 20 minutes. It permits you to access your own healing powers. Since I started his Alpha Level meditation my arthritis has come under control and is a minor inconvenience."
"Helped with healing and financial matters."
"I am positive that your methods have helped me to get to a point that I am now convinced that the manifestation of the leaving my body of an otherwise very bad blood disorder is imminent. I now know why it came...it was amazing that in the middle of the night when I got up to use the bathroom, and then laid back in the bed, I had a strong knowing why it came.
It is a truth that loss of hope dries the bones. This knowing told me that years ago (which is true), I had lost all hope. When the biopsy was done on my hip to diagnose what was causing the symptoms, the blood disease myeloid metaplasia was discovered...one of the symptoms is that the bone marrow appears to be drier than normal bone marrow. When this knowing came to me, I meditated on it...having never agreed that "I had the disease", but rather acknowledging that "it attacked me", and I thanked it for coming...and advised it that it should leave now. I am convinced beyond all human knowledge that the manifestation of that total healing is soon.
Thank you for assisting me with some of the wisdom from your course. Also, I am an attorney, and prior to your method, I was constantly apprehensive about financial matters, but since your course, I am doing well and have no apprehension. I have placed a high value on my services, and people are paying without a fuss."
"Your Course is very Comprehensive."
"Your course is a very comprehensive one and each time I read the material, I get new insights and each time it expands my understanding of how the mind works. I was actually looking for a book on meditation, and was searching on Amazon.com when I saw your website link there. So thats how I came to know about your course. I had bought a few books on meditation, but yours was the most useful.
After listening to the meditation on the free e course, I decided to order the full course, which I did. The part that I found really useful is "the technique of polarisation" switching your viewpoint to love and the five rules to happiness. This has been immensely useful for me and I keep using these techniques everyday for something or the other. I dont even have to go to alpha level in order to use them. In fact these techniques alone can be expanded so much, that it is worthy of a book by itself.
Recently I thought this technique to my sister, since she is a very short tempered person. She told me that she is now using this technique to get over her problem. Thank you so much Mr Goldman. "
Gave me Tremendous Power and Energy"
It is great! My life is changing! You helped me to convert my miserable life into happy days! No, I did not win a lottery. It is much better: I found you...! My life got so busy and interesting I have not to much time to exercise! I cannot imagine how many good things I can do with my life!
It can get only better and better every day! Your method gave me a tremendous power and endless source of energy to do my work and help others!"
"I use your Method for Acheiving Goals."
"I did your free on-line course and then purchased your course of CDs, which you sent me together with your book. I am a fan of yours and I have referred other to your free on-line course, some of whom have thanked me.
I am 86 years of age, enjoying excellent health, widowed two years ago, and lead a very active life in my (Catholic) Church Parish and in Toastmasters (World wide Public Speaking Club network emanating from the USA). I use your method for achieving goals. At present I am about to appear on Saturday 21st October in a Public Speaking Contest, and I am "programming" to win."
"I now know how to handle a difficult relationship...set goals...[and] change my attitude when the day gets rough."
"I'm a schoolteacher who travels over an hour each day to school. I'm always listening to my CD collection for company. And then I found Burt Goldman's CDs. I play them every day and have for months. The lecture tracks only of course, I am driving you know. I'm on the twelfth playing now, or maybe the thirteenth or fourteenth, but I stopped counting. I have changed. I now know how to handle a difficult relationship, how to set goals, how to use more of my mind, how to change my attitude when the day gets rough; how to live. Thanks a million. And I love the advice I get in my e-mails, keep it up."
"The feelings I get when "at level" are so profoundly peaceful and calming."
"I found your site by surfing - and have been practicing going to level since. The feelings I get when "at level" are so profoundly peaceful and calming ...and the subsequent inspiration I receive in all areas of my life continues to astound me. I just want to thank you for being a great tour guide to a higher life."
"More Positive and Composed"
"I have a hectic, fast paced job. The Golden Image is great. I am able to carry over this relaxed feeling into my work day, which is very helpful. (I enjoy) being guided by Burt to my alpha level on the CDs, which I listen to often. The changes have been subtle, but gratifying. I'm more relaxed, more focused on my goals (and) less critical of others. I've mostly banished guilt as a useless emotion. I worry less. In general, I'm more positive and composed, thanks to Burt."
"Simple, Straightforward Solutions to Help You"
"If you have ever wished for an instruction on how to live your life, this is it. Burt Goldman has given the world simple, straightforward solutions to help you solve almost any problem that could be encountered. Read the bonus book, listen to the CDs, and your life will change for the better."
"Center Stage turned out great!"
"I had an important long phone interview early this morning and listened to Center Stage first. I was told the interview went very well. After that, I was pretty well drained, but put together a letter for the interviewer and emailed it today. Oh, did I mention that I went to level before I could really get into the letter?? It turned out great. Thank you for putting some much into this and keeping it going."
"They give me Hope and Inspiration..."
"First of all thank you for your generous gift of your news letters....I always save them in a folder and when I have the time I will dive into the folder to just get a hit of inspiration. Your emails are like a friend that checks up on me and says how are you doing? Are you meditating regularly? Are you remembering to be in contact with the divine? They give me hope and inspiration that I can create the world I want.
"The Good Life is Reachable"
"Throw away your self help tapes, tear up your self help books, forget about motivation seminars, don't bother with advice for the lovelorn, give up on conquering procrastination, get over trying to figure out how to succeed. You won't need any of that, just listen to Burt Goldman's course and the good life is reachable. I know. It worked for me."
"Effective Techniques for Improving the
Quality of Your Life"
"Burt converts his profound understanding of metaphysics and how the mind works into simple, effective techniques for improving the quality of your life."
"Absolutely love them"
"I bought your course over a year ago, and I have been receiving your emails even before that time. Although the online course has much of the same materials as the CDs I bought, I love the reminders! Please continue to send these to me for as long as you continue to send them out! I absolutely love them, and they seem to hit the appropriate target each time they arrive."
"You Changed My Life"
"In a nutshell, you've changed my life. I'm only 16 and yet through your meditation programme and stress relief methods, I am now able to look upon my daily negatives in a new and positive light. Boring aspects of my life such as college and general blues are now eradicated and are now replaced with a desire to motivate myself to thrive in life and attain my dreams.. so thank you for making this teenager value life!"
"Useful and Effective"
"I am from India and have learned the meditation techniques taught by Paramhansa Yogananda. I find your lessons very useful and effective and the techniques that you have been teaching have helped me a lot in relieveing stress and making life more smooth."
"Your course is extremely comprehensive, laid out in an easy step by step system."
I found your course to be the most explicit and easy to understand. Your course is extremely comprehensive, laid out in an easy step by step system. I have been searching for the answers for so long now that I've forgotten what the questions were! My entire philosophy on life is exactly as you teach, I too am a healer and teach this way of looking at life but for some time now it would appear that I have lost my way and had hoped for the answers in your system. So Burt, it is up to me, I know your course and the information is brilliant but I have yet to find the right key to open my own mind to it.
Helped Me Make it Through Heart Surgery
Last month I had an emergency heart problem, which involved an angiogram last week. I meditated, and knew I would need a powerful mantra to concentrate on, so I could get through all the procedures that terrified me. I tried several phrases, and then out of the blue I heard "everyday, in everyway, I'm getting better and better", in my head. I knew that could work - after all I still hold my tongue to the roof of my mouth to get a parking place and its never failed me. I said the whole phrase many times everyday, but when I needed something easier to repeat in the operating room, I said "better and better and better and better" over and over, and now, everything is BETTER!
"Living Life to it's Fullest Potential"
Being a newbie and sceptic to any type of alternatiive thinking... one word - wow! It's funny how we trod through life getting caught-up in the details of everyday living and do not realize what power is all around us. I feel like a horse whose blinders have been lifted for the first time! There's a whole other world, and reality out there that I didn't even know existed! What else can I say - if I were not employing your methods, I'd still be living out only half my life and potential!!
"my grandson enjoys them."
I am retired but have my grandson living with me. Your program has been a blessing. I read all of the lessons I get from you, and along with that, share them with my grandson and use them as valuable lessons to be learned about life. He enjoys reading them, and they have helped him in school as well as life. He has begun to be much more rational in his thought processes.
"Marvellous Pieces of Advice"
Dear Mr Goldman, I wish to convey to you my deep appreciation for the marvellous pieces of advice tendered to me through your immumerable notes which have been very thought provoking and professionally inspiring. Let me hasten to add that I have applied many of your lessons and they do work and work well.I wish more and more people could have access to your pioneering work for the benefit of their enterprises as indeed to them personally.
"They have been very beneficial to me."
I took a Silva Mind Control class in Chicago back around 1970. I had practically forgotten most of what I had learnt until I chanced upon your free online classes. They have been very beneficial to me. You got me to lower my state of consciousness and visualize again. Thank you for reminding me to get my life back on track. I print out every lesson you send me. The ones I need the most I constantly refer to. Every morning and night I use your 3 to 1 method and see myself on my theater screen enjoying my hearts desire. I know it works because I have done it before.
"I am enjoying the process of discovering how powerful I can be."
I have about spent the past year reprogramming my mind to get whatever I want and I am still doing the excercises, and I have accomplished several of them already. It has not been easy, since my mind was full of negative patterns, and sometimes they still pop up. But now I can observe what is going on in my mind, and I can cancel the bad thought and put the one I want. I have been sucessful in doing this. I generate a much much better income and am in the process of increasing this amount. I am enjoying the process of discovering how powerful I can be. Keep sending me the Goldman tips - I use them and pass them to friends.
"Law of Attraction."
This material came to me by the law of attraction, or let's say by coincidence. I remember one day when I needed to improve my communication in my relationships. Voila, next morning, I received an e-mail about the philosophical principle behind communication. And whatever I needed, came to me. The benefit of the Goldman Method is that you prove it by yourself and from there, you can take another perspective towards life. I can suggest also that there's no need to strive when practicing the material, it is better to explore it.
"I feel like a Different Person."
I have seen differences since studying the info you sent me. My health is improving on a daily basis. I "had" suffered with fibromyalgia for 28 years. Don't get me wrong, there are days it tries to get hold of me again, but that is only when I get a little slack and don't focus. I also can say that problems don't get me down as bad as they used to. I see them as learning experiences now. I feel like a different person. I am a work in progress, we all are. This is a lifestyle not a quick fix, but changes do start happening rather soon after beginning. I suggest it to anyone in need of change or a new beginning.
"A Real Treasure"
I am really glad that I bought your course Mr. Goldman. This is a course that one can never be finished with. One has to go back again and again. There are so many things one can learn and apply. I find the CD's very useful. I can easily find the material I need to listen to. I have read your book and again, I have to keep on refering to it because it is a real treasure. May God Bless you for all that you are doing to help us better ourselves.
"One of a Kind!"
Burt has a way of explaining very profound concepts in very simple language. The meditation exercises that come with every lesson ensure that I'm not just hearing about it. I'm actually doing it. One-of-a-kind.
"...It actually works."
I have reading all the materials that you have been sending me and I must say "It actually works". I have tuned my thinking to such positive directions. I even took an IQ test and I have discovered that I am an Intuitive Thinker. (Not only) did that help improve my esteem, I even got a promotion out of changing my attitude towards my job. How it works, I don't know but I am sure it had something towards reading and applying some of these principles in my daily life.
"It was a Stroke of Genius..."
The main benefit I've received is the ability to gain alpha level quickly and easily and "imaginize" easily. The 3-2-1 Method is as efficient as it gets! Also, just hearing Burt's voice when I start my alpha sessions, even if it's only in my mind, really gets me in alpha mode mood! There is nothing from anybody anywhere that is cooler than The Daisy Pond. It was a stroke of genius that will define Burt Goldman for my mother and me...The information he gives is excellent, and I've had many lightbulb moments.
Just for the record, Burt Goldman is really great. After all I've said, I really believe in him. I just sense that the key is there. I'm glad I have the course. I know I have help when I need it.
Helped My Grandson Too
I was listening to the section on Anger -- Bully and Bunny, when my 13 year old grandson came in. Despite his young years, his ears went up, and he listened intently. I know it helped him understand how to deal with school bullies.
I have a greater understanding of other people, along with myself, regarding what motivates us all. And I am encouraged again and again to remember: I can do! Another section I like "best" is Sparkling up the Kitchen, a very useful technique I can apply in many ways.
"...you wouldn't believe it: I got what I wanted with only minor discussions."
I couldn't resist telling you how coincidence lead to a succes this morning. I was scheduled for a meeting which made me very nervous. I'd rather not take part due to some quite dominant people. One hour before I was checking my emails and found (your Mind Tip) which explained how to get out of other peoples dominance and be dominant yourself by enhancing the male side of your personality.
I imagined a train rushing away from me and you wouldn't believe it: I got what I wanted with only minor discussions. The meeting was over in 5 minutes. I am so astonished and very grateful.
"Helps me to Relax..."
It helps me to relax when things get stressful. At work all I have to do is take a deep breath and tell myself to relax. At home I do the same thing when things get stressful with my children or I read some of the tips and follow that. I love the mind tips. They are informative and helpful and I will be applying them in getting my business going. We can never be fully stress-free but we definitely do not need to be over-stressed and with your mind tips and your free online course it helps me to over come the stress and have a more perspective on life and see that I can accomplish anything.
"a harmonious blend of modern neurology, human psychology and sprituality."
I have found the contents of your Mind Tip lessons very interesting and of practical significance. They are a harmonious blend of modern neurology, human psychology and sprituality. Although I'm retired and not facing the stress and strains of a working life, your writings have left a positive influence on me.
"I have enjoyed all of your CD's."
I have enjoyed all of your CD's. I have particualarly benefitted from the Self Healing. I have often used this when I felt myself getting sick and have avoided the illness altoghter. I have also used Correcting Past Programing, as I come from a fairly dysfunctional / alcoholic family.
One thing I have been able to "test" as to its effectiveness is your phrase on sensing yourself improving everyday, in one area of your life. I picked my job as a test. I am an Emergency Medical Dispatcher. Our calls are marked and evaluated every month. I am suppose to score a 95 % on my calls every month. I regularly think of work during that segment of the CD and the last four months I have been the highest rated dispatcher. We all occassionly get there but it is rare for anyone to get repeated scores like that for long. I also won other awards at work as well in the last six months. Thanks for a great product.
"easy to understand with down-to-earth logic"
I feel your course is perfect just the way you have written it. It covers so many topics and each one is quite interesting and motivational, yet easy to understand with down-to-earth logic. It doesn't get any better than that! Each lesson had something of value to learn about. Your ideas were well presented and thought-provoking.
"I'm becoming more enlightened."
I have thoroughly enjoyed your series and feel that everytime I receive and read a new lesson that I'm becoming more enlightened. I feel that your lessons have helped me be a more positive person and the material you cover in each lesson are issues that everyone can relate to. Please don't change a thing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Your generosity and contributions to everyone everywhere is very much appreciated.
"it works!"
My problem has always been the issue of "not good enough", so the positive thoughts that I was able to access were great. To get maximum benefit, it is important to practice regularly - but for sure it works!
"meditation took the pain away..."
I have followed your instruction and I must say I am happy with the meditation. The first time I did it my back was hurting as I suffer from chronic pain. At the end of the meditation the pain was gone of course not for good but it was a nice relief.
"so easy to follow..."
I have enjoyed every one of your very informative and easy to read exercises. Your audios were so easy to follow. I have been going through a lot of stress and for a long time and with practice of the exercises on the 2 audios sent by you, I hope to have a life filled with peace and good health. I do know that a lot is in my hands. But I thank you over and over for all the direction that comes from you.
"A Manual of Reality!"
"The tapes were like a manual of reality. Everything that I could possibly be involved with from birth to death was dealt with on one or the other of the tapes. None of the other sets I purchased elsewhere explained exactly what to do - they weren't real - the Goldman Fieldkit tapes gave precise instructions on how to deal with reality."
