How to Avoid Student Debt

The UK government have been called "loan sharks", as the repayable amount of student debt just keeps rising.  The government have changed the way the interest is charged on student loans, and will freeze the repayment threshold from 2027.  

 

Those who are paying off their loans are already finding the amount of the debt keeps going up and up and up.  

 

However, there is a solution if you are about to start uni.  Keep reading to find out more.  

 

Martin Lewis, on his Money Saving Expert website, has said that, since the threshold for repaying student loan debt will be frozen, the people being hardest hit by this freeze will be those whose income is just above the threshold, as well as everyone above them.  

 

So those people will just keep paying and paying and paying, regardless of the fact that some of them are already paying off their debt.     

 

However, I seriously wonder whether he even cares.  For more on this, see:  What Martin Lewis Doesn't Want You to Know.  I realise he's a busy man, but I am offering a solution.  

 

My ebook, Shaking the Money Tree, currently sells at just $5, which is less than £5.  And if you are about to start uni, it can save you thouands.  It is relevant to both the UK and the U.S.  

 

The information in the ebook is current to the best of my knowledge.  However, when the new version comes out, it will be priced considerably higher.  So grab Shaking the Money Tree at this price while you can!

Review of Quantum Hypnosis Scripts


Your mind is incredibly powerful.  You can make serious changes in your life by using the power of your mind.  
 
Someone recently recommended Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) to me, to help me to heal and resolve childhood trauma.

I experienced trauma and abuse on a daily basis as a child and as a young person. Inevitably, this has left me with long-term issues in pretty much every area of my life. I have been keen to explore, understand and heal the sources of my difficulties. So I eagerly grabbed this book as a possible support to my ongoing healing process.

Quantum Hypnosis Scripts contains scripts to address different problematic areas of life – for example, weight loss, stopping smoking, enjoying exercising, taking exams, connecting with past lives – to name but a few. They seem very similar to my own healing meditations.
 
This book is meant to be useful for self-hypnosis as well as professional application.  
 
In addition to the scripts, the book also contains two “inductions” to help to get into a deep state of relaxation. However, the scripts begin in a different place from where the inductions end.
 
Guided visualizations can be very powerful, highly effective methods for bringing about positive change. However, I wanted to learn more specifically about “quantum” healing and QHHT.  
 
So I looked it up. Here’s what I found on Google.

What is it?
  • A unique form of hypnosis:

     
    It's a guided process to enter an expanded state of awareness, often called a hypnotic trance, rather than a typical hypnosis for relaxation or entertainment. 
The core of the practice is connecting with the "Higher Self" or "Subconscious," which is seen as an all-wise part of oneself holding deep wisdom and insight into all of life's experiences. 
  •  Client-led exploration:  
The practitioner facilitates a safe, supportive environment, but the client's Higher Self decides what experiences are relevant, rather than the therapist.  
 
How does it work?

  1. Deep Relaxation:
The process begins by guiding the individual into a deeply relaxed, meditative state, similar to entering sleep or a deep daydream.  
  1. Subconscious Access:
In this relaxed state, the conscious mind quiets, and the client can access memories, insights, and wisdom stored in the subconscious. 
  1. Communication with the Higher Self:
The practitioner asks questions on behalf of the client to their Higher Self.  
  1. Healing and Insight:
The Higher Self provides answers and information to clear blockages, heal past traumas, and offer insights into relationships, fears, and life purpose.  
  1. Physical Healing: A "body scan" may be performed by the Higher Self to identify and heal physical issues by addressing their underlying energetic or emotional causes. 
What are the benefits?
  • Deeper self-awareness: Gaining profound understanding of oneself and one's motivations.  
  • Emotional resolution: Healing past traumas and emotional blockages. 
     
    Spiritual growth:  Connecting with the deeper wisdom of the universe and one's life path. 
  • Physical healing: Addressing the roots of physical ailments through energy and consciousness. 
     
    Overcoming fears: Gaining insight into the origin of fears and phobias, leading to their resolution. 

Again, my own guided visualizations are very similar to those in the book., which contains many hypnosis scripts. Unfortunately, these scripts are not listed individually in the table of contents, so you will need to page through the book to find the one(s) you require.  

I am not a hypnotist, but my guided visualizations help people to bring about positive change in themselves and their lives. I still don’t understand why the scripts in this book are called “quantum”. However, if you already have some experience of using guided visualization, you may find this book useful.

Speak to Yourself This Way and Attract All You Desire - Joe Dispenza Motivation Speech

 
 
 
Another BRILLIANT video from Joe Dispenza.  It is BRILLIANT, but it's also REALLY, REALLY LONG.  I've summarised some of the highlights:  
 
By doing this, you are reating new neural pathways.

 

Rewire your brain. Break free from those old patterns. 

 

Resistance is your old identity dying and your new identity being born.

 

You’re not just changing your thoughts, you are changing the structure of your brain. Becoming a different person at the cellular level. This is quantum transformation.

 

Every new thought creates ripples in the quantum field.

 

Your DNA is expressing itself differently. You are vibrating at a different frequency.

 

You are changing the field of possibilities for everyone around you. 

 

These are three affirmations:  

 

• Today, I step into my new reality.

• Today, my thoughts create my new future. 

• Today, I become the person I know I can be.

 

Feel these words in every cell of your body. Let them vibrate through your being. Let them shake loose everything that no longer serves you.

 

The universe is waiting for you to make this decision. The quantum field is ready for your new energy signature.

 

The brain creates success templates. 

 
I know what it's like to feel resistance.  To be "too tired" or "too busy".  I've seen resistance in many of my students "I don't believe the affirmations" or "affirmations don't work".  

You must persist.  We experience resistance because we are addicted to the chemicals produced by the old thoughts.  
 
When we create new thoughts, we will resist at first, but when we persist, the body starts to create new chemicals produced by those new thoughts.  
 
It only takes three days to start to rewire your brain.  Speak to Yourself Like This for 3 Days.

What Is Life Like Inside an ICE Detention Center?

I have been readiing disturbing reports about life inside ICE detention centers.  

 

Terrible things are happening, but you can make a difference.  Scroll down for more.  

 

ICE agents swoop in and detain people without warning. Those detained are shackled and repeatedly moved from one facility to another without explanation, sometimes being moved across state lines on multiple occasions.  


Their belongings are taken from them. They are denied food for their specialist diets. They have inadequate water supplied to them. They are denied their prescription meds.  There are gaps in mdntal health care and suicide prevention.   Some are separated from their children. They are denied space in which to pray.


They are often living in filthy conditions, in freezing cold cells with open toilets. They live under constant fluorescent lights 24 hours a day. Some are not given soap or toothbrushes. Some have no mattresses or bedding. Some women are denied sanitary products. 

 

Detainees report physical humiliation and violence.  

 

Nobody discusses the detainees’ cases with them or explains anything to them. They are required to wear uniforms as if in prison.


They do not have criminal records.


And these facilities are run for profit.


This doctoral student shares her experience of being detained in an ICE prison

 

How we can all support immigrants

 

This woman from New Zealand was detained with her six-year-old

 

This Canadian woman was detained

 

A judge condemned what he called “inhumane and horrifying conditions”.


ICE documents reveal plan to double immigrant detention space this year 

 

We must speak out against injustice and inequality.  

 

We must speak up for justice.  We must speak up for peace.  We must speak up for human dignity.  We must speak up for justice.  We must speak up for kindness.  

Please, please add your voice.  Please share your thoughts and feelings with The Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence 2025The deadline is the 15th of September.  We look forward to hearing from you!
