			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to talk with you about a very sensitive matter: STD.</p>
<p>Yes, I know just looking at it&#8230;</p>
<p>STD</p>
<p>and seeing it and thinking<br />
about it causes some uncomfortable feelings.</p>
<p>And you know that NOT talking about something doesn&#8217;t make it go away&#8230;.in fact, it makes it worse.</p>
<p>Yes, denial makes things that are already bad, even worse.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a new STD that you need to know about.</p>
<p>Why? Because if you&#8217;re not informed and prepared, well, you&#8217;ll be left unprotected and the consequences can and will be severe.</p>
<p>Deadly, in fact.</p>
<p>Okay, so what is this new STD?</p>
<p>Stress Transmutation Device.</p>
<p>Not quite what you were expecting, was it?!!</p>
<p>I wanted to get your attention&#8230;.hopefully it worked.</p>
<p>Why? Because stress kills and destroys life, just like a STD (the other ones!).</p>
<p>Depending on whose research you read,<br />
between 70 and 90% of ALL illnesses are stress related.</p>
<p>According to the Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory, here are the Top Ten Stressful Life Events:<br />
1.    Spouse&#8217;s death<br />
2.    Divorce<br />
3.    Marriage separation<br />
4.    Jail term<br />
5.    Death of a close relative<br />
6.    Injury or illness<br />
7.    Marriage<br />
8.    Fired from job<br />
9.    Marriage reconciliation<br />
10.    Retirement</p>
<p>Probably no big surprises there, however it&#8217;s interesting that there a couple of positive events that are still considered highly stressful.</p>
<p>Yes&#8230;even positive events can be perceived as stressful.<br />
The bottom-line is that stress can destroy your health, well-being and relationships&#8230;I see it all the time in my practice.</p>
<p>Time for you to learn how to &#8220;Transmutate&#8221; your stress!</p>
<p>So where can you buy a Stress Transmutation Device?</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t&#8230;sorry!</p>
<p>Nope, can&#8217;t buy one anywhere.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s the good news: You don&#8217;t need to buy one&#8230;you already have one.</p>
<p>But before I tell you more about that,<br />
let&#8217;s look at the true source of stress.</p>
<p>All stress comes from one place and it has nothing, or at least, very little, to do with any external events or circumstances.</p>
<p>It all starts between your ears.<br />
Yes, your mind, as wonderful as it is, misfires at times.</p>
<p>It malfunctions.</p>
<p>It has dysfunctions and distortions.</p>
<p>It over-reacts.</p>
<p>The good news is that most of the time (99.99%) it works fine&#8230;really good&#8230;almost perfect.</p>
<p>However, the mind seems to have the most difficulty functioning optimally with stress, or I should say, with the perception of stress.</p>
<p>The mind sometimes perceives things, usually due to past conditioning, as if they are threats&#8230;<br />
like a pack of hungry wolves running straight towards you.</p>
<p>No&#8230;that was NOT a pack of hungry wolves, and your life is NOT in danger.</p>
<p>But your mind may have been reacting as if it was.<br />
That&#8217;s where the Stress Transmutation Device comes in.</p>
<p>It is also between your ears.</p>
<p>Yep&#8230;you already have a Stress Transmutation Device between your ears, just waiting for you to use it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the deal: Stress is 100% perception&#8230;<br />
if you perceive it as threatening, then it will be.</p>
<p>However, if you perceive it as benign and non-threatening, then it is.</p>
<p>The key is to catch it&#8230;sometimes easier said than done, I know.</p>
<p>Especially since 95% or more of that organ (your mind) between your ears is subconscious.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s a clue&#8230;actually two clues, to more effectively impact your subconscious deeper mind:<br />
First, always focus on what you DO want&#8230;<br />
NOT on what you don&#8217;t want.</p>
<p>Many, many people put most of their focus on what they don&#8217;t want or what they are fearful of, and they cause a tremendous amount of unnecessary stress for themselves. Plus, that&#8217;s what your subconscious will then focus on.</p>
<p>Second, remember that the subconscious mind loves imagery&#8230;<br />
feed yourself as many vivid, sensory based (use ALL the senses) images as possible&#8230;all the positive ones, of course!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still having challenges, then perhaps it&#8217;s time for a tune-up.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the deal, I want you to have Less Stress and More Success in your life&#8230;that&#8217;s the bottom-line.</p>
<p>Therefore I&#8217;m offering you a special single Stress-Busting session to get your Stress Transmutation Device tuned in and working with you and for you.</p>
<p>For a limited time, and only for those of you on my mailing list, I&#8217;m offering a 60 minute Stress-Busting session normally priced at $147 for only $97.<br />

<p>In fact, I&#8217;ll even allow you to invest in a few sessions if you&#8217;d like to give them as gifts to your friends, loved ones and/or co-workers.</p>
<p>These sessions can be in person at my office or over the phone.</p>
