*** Can Beliefs Keep You From Becoming Wealthy?
A few months ago I asked people on our mailing list which beliefs they thought were keeping them from becoming wealthy. The top five were: · You have to work hard to make money.rn· I’m not deserving.rn· I’ll never have enough money. /There is never enough money.rn· Money is a struggle.rn· Life is difficult. If you have any doubt about the impact of beliefs on your ability to earn and retain money, ask yourself this question: Imagine someone having these five beliefs. Then ask yourself: Do you think such a person is likely to be wealthy?

***Get Rid of the Belief, “I can’t …”
A few years ago while in the midst of a corporate consulting assignment I realized that there was one crippling belief that was rampant in every organizatio I had ever worked in. And this belief was not only the most common belief in organizations, it was, in my opinion, the biggest single barrier that most organizations have. What is this belief?

***Get Rid Of Negative “Senses” And “Expectations”
The Lefkoe Stimulus Process (LStP) is the most important process other than the Lefkoe Belief Process that we use to help people get rid of unwanted behavior and emotional problems. This process de-conditions common events that have been conditioned to cause fear and other negative emotions.

***How Our Language Determines Our Reality
In another post on this site I explained how we live in a dualistic universe in which for any “thing” or concept to exist, we must distinguish between it and a not-that-thing or concept. Our most important tool for making distinctions and creating our reality is language. As Edward Sapir, a noted anthropologist, has said:

***Are Your Beliefs Permanently Gone? Four Tests To Know For Sure
The Lefkoe Institute has had a big marketing problem since its inception 24 years ago. People don’t believe we can do what we promise to do. Our unique distinction is that we can help people quickly and permanently eliminate all the relevant beliefs that cause virtually any behavioral or emotional problem in their lives. But most people have the belief: Change is difficult, takes a long time, and requires a lot of reinforcement.

***Eating/Weight Problems: The Source and Solution
Most of the behavioral or emotional problems we want to get rid of are relatively simple to deal with. We procrastinate. We worry all the time about what people think of us. We lack confidence. Using The Lefkoe Method you can find and eliminate the beliefs and conditionings that cause these problems. As a result, the problems will disappear. Unfortunately overeating and weighing too much are not as simple.

*** The Only Scientifically-Proven Method of Eliminating the Fear of Public Speaking Permanently
In May 2006 the journal Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy published a research study that proves there is a way to permanently eliminate the fear of public speaking. This research paper described how 36 people who had a fear of public speaking were divided into two groups to test the effectiveness of a fear elimination procedure called The Lefkoe Method. One group was exposed to The Lefkoe Method. The other group went to Toastmasters meetings. After a few hours of exposure to The Lefkoe Method the first group spoke in public and each member of that group reported that th

***What do you want a lot of that will hurt you when you get it?
What do you desperately desire, that the more you get, the harder it will be to achieve your goals in life? Answers. Let me explain. It seems that nothing would make most of us happier than getting the answer to our questions, such as how to improve our relationships, how to make more money, and how to get anything else we want in life. But answers are a type of belief. They are a solution to a problem, the way to do or get something.

***What Happens When a Belief is Eliminated?
Because people are not used to permanently eliminating beliefs (processes that are guaranteed to totally and permanently eliminate long-standing beliefs are rare), people aren’t sure what to expect when a belief really is eradicated. Actually, there can be a wide variety of responses. We have had people tell us that they felt their life was transformed, like an oppressive weight had been lifted from their shoulders. They were clear their life would never be the same. Other people aren’t even sure the belief is gone. “I’m not sure” is their reaction.
