Her documentation of records has been used as examples in psychiatric hospital settings.

Mildred Bradley, Public Relation Officer, is our main contact with the public. Staying in touch with her ten grandsons and having frequent contact with US travelers through her employment provides a public pulse that is important to the fulfilling of our organization's purposes.

Affairs of the Mind is tax exempt. The corporation is designed to charitably promote the synergetic and also educational processes of all aspects of the mind.in the areas of health, preventive health, mental health, spirituality, and personal growth. The current expansion of this site, which is now in process, targets public mental health and STD prevention in the articles on addiction and STD prevention. The education that is being provided through this site and the additional products produced will offer a charitable means of not only achieving goals for which one has striven, but, as STI is so easily unknowingly contacted, a source of education regarding safe sex and STD prevention .

Our subconscious is an aspect of the mind frequently ignored; yet, within this unconscious mind is a source of wisdom and insight which far surpasses that available in our usual state of consciousness. This same frame of mind is also the limiting factor that prevents many from reaching their goals.   Seventy-five percent of our mind's activity occurs at an unconscious level; it is said that ten to fifteen percent occurs at a conscious level.  Despite this, most rely totally on our conscious mind to arrive at answers and decisions. We believe the utilization of the subconscious is an important consideration in managing our lives and connecting with our Higher Source.

Our products now offer a means of achieving goals for which one has striven.  After listening to these products, you will notice how much more relaxed you will feel.  Your mind will have more positive and creative thoughts. You will feel more confident and committed to reaching your desired goals.

We offer two types of audio products to the public, personalized and prerecorded, on CD disc and cassette tapes.  The music in this site and also included in our products is provided by Rusty Crutcher or Naturescape or Keiko Matsui. Each rendition provides thirty to forty-five minutes of a peaceful retreat into the subconscious through the recording of background music, posthypnotic, and hypnotic guided imagery suggestions.  None of the suggestions should be construed to be medical advice.  The products are shipped by Priority Mail or UPS with delivery confirmation.  Each recording is edited before shipping.
