Bill Burns’ Mirror Technique

I have learned this technique from psychic Bill Burns (and from Barbara Rose, who also learned it from Bill and explains it particularly well). It’s designed to increase a sense of self-appreciation and self-love, an essential ingredient to feeling good about oneself and to making life work well.

Here’s how it works:

Stand in front of the mirror and discuss with yourself what you did that day that pleased you. Then tell yourself what about those things pleased you and what about who you are made that possible.

I realize that this may feel awkward at first. Do it anyway.

I find it easier, and for me at least, more effective than Louise Hay’s technique of just telling yourself “I love you.”

You may want to take notes about the things you wish to discuss (see the feel-good list above) before you actually do the mirror exercise. But feel free to adlib as you come up with more things.

Here’s an example of how this might work:

I went for a walk in the park today. This pleases me because I’m taking care of myself and it made me feel good. It also helped me relax and it will contribute to keeping my body healthy and my emotions on the positive side. The quality in me that made this possible is the fact that I’m in touch with how I feel, I pay attention to it, and I take care of myself, as I must because this body is all I have, and I appreciate it and make an effort to treat it well.

Do this regularly every evening and you will notice a big shift in how you feel.

Bill Burns: My Favorite Personal Growth “Guru”

I don’t think I have talked much about Bill Burns on my blog. Maybe not at all. I did mention the “mirror technique,” one of the most powerful techniques he taught me, in my stress ebook though.

It’s time I started writing about him though… After all, it was Bill who really got me started on my personal growth journey.

So who is Bill Burns? Bill is a brilliant/absolutely amazing psychic in Los Angeles/North Hollywood.

I first met him many years ago, when I was a graduate student in Berkeley. And, well, my life has never been the same.

It was him who really introduced me to a lot of the personal growth and new thought ideas that I now live by. I didn’t realize it at the time — and I didn’t always understand everything he was telling me.

But now that I’m familiar with the Abraham-Hicks material, a lot of what he told me about way back makes total sense. I guess it was part of the growth process.

In the meantime, his teachings set a lot of things in motion, and had a profound influence on my personal growth.

At the time, I was really stuck, and one day, I decided to drive to church (where I hadn’t been in years) with the express intention of praying for some kind of enlightenment.

And what I got — on the car radio no less — was Bill Burns, doing a call-in psychic radio show, where he helped a few people figure out what they were really meant to do.

He was so down-to-earth and right on, I found myself glued to that radio, parked on the street in front of that church, listening to Bill. I was amazed. If I had had a cell phone back then, I would have called in right then.

Well, I called the radio station the next day, and they gave me Bill’s number in Los Angeles. And when he came back to the Bay Area, I went to his lecture.

And when he did a “spot reading” on me, he so nailed something about me that I told him during the break that I had to have a reading with him — even though I didn’t know how to pay for it.

I got the very last slot and he actually let me pay in installments because he knew I needed the information “now.” And that reading changed my life. As they say, when the student is ready…

More on that in another post.

Right now, I just want to mention what triggered this post right now…

I was listening to one of Bill Burns’ tapes in my car earlier today and it was another one of those tapes that I needed to hear right then. It was about “financial feast and famine” and how growth sometimes can create a bit of a mess in one’s life. Very reassuring. I’ll write more about that later too…

If you’re curious about Bill Burns though, you can check him out at http://www.billburns.org — this is NOT an affiliate link by the way (Last time I checked he didn’t have an affiliate program although I really think he should start one).

He’s got some great resources, including some excellent audios. To find them, just click on “Store” somewhere at the top of his website. Be sure to open it in a new window, because it’s kind of tricky to find your way back to the main site from the store.

I have a whole collection of his tapes, and they’re amazing (some more so than others but then, not all of them apply to me). Again, more details about that in another post.

Meanwhile, since it’s the 23rd of December, and actually Christmas eve in Europe and in New Zealand, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a GREAT Holiday season!
