Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

What Exactly Is Premonition?

By Katherine Allen


A bad future event which is about to take place is associated with premonition. Premonition refers to a state when one is able to predict future events which may not be necessarily pleasant.

Generally this kind of sensation occurs before accidents, deaths, disasters or other events which are emotionally charged. An event which is about to take place in the future and is an indication of something bad that is about to take place, something unpleasant is referred to as premonition.

Premonition sensation and precognition are known to be closely associated. There is hardly any clear-cut separation between them. However these two are different from each other. Some of the sensations linked with premonitions are connected with certain circumstances like gloominess, pain, physical restlessness where no possible justifications can be given. There can be no explanation of the feelings given with these conditions but yes we are sure that these feelings do occur. Precognition alternatively has more precision. Precognition is concerned with hallucination about an event or dreams whose probable future likelihood is there.

When premonitions occur in a state of our full awakeness, they are more predominant rather than those which take place in our dreams. This is so because in the dreams these are often disguised as symbols which often do not get noticed. On the other hand if these symbols often recur in dreams, one learns to be familiar with emotional tones or unique symbols.

Sometimes one gets early intuitive warnings by premonitions yet the registration of these in the conscious mind does not take place since they are very faint. However, the subconscious mind registers the intuitive warnings apparently. In a nutshell premonition is also defined as anticipation of an event with no any obvious motive.

Some individuals who get premonitions have a guilt factor associated with these and are sometimes too scared to talk about it. However if a premonition occurs then it should be discussed in the open in order to avoid any kind of adverse impact of that premonition. It's a gifted ability that one possesses.

Incase you happen to be the one in possession of this ability or know someone who is blessed with this condition, you may always suggest that person or for that matter you must speak about it openly with no glitches whatsoever. Imagine you have the power to stop an adversity to take place. So why not make use of this affectively instead of associating it with a negative feeling of guilt.

Viewing this condition as boon and bane is done by the two differing schools of thought on premonitions. The first school of thought views this as a boon and has a belief that the blessed person has the ability to avert an adverse situation and surroundings from a disastrous event or at the most the impact that could take place with this. The second school of thought viewing this as bane views this ability as an unpleasant thing to happen.

How To Convey Your Feelings Other Than Words

By Jack Timberlake


Sometimes, saying the words without even literally meaning them is not good. When he says he does care, he should mean the right actions for someone who truly cares. If he says he will come for you, he should no matter what time, what day or wherever you are when you most need him.

The though here is, words aren't just words to speak about or to give out whenever necessary. You have to deal with the right action if you're giving out the right words.

When he does says he care for you but he let you walk on your own during an overnight job because he can't fetch you with his lame reasons of unable to go on your location, then this is something you might need to assess first.

Or if he says I'll catch you when you fall, but leave you behind when you are in your downiest part of life, then he is someone unworthy of anything.

Saying that he truly feels the same way might be the opposite. Or saying that he truly cares might not be truly true. Or worst if he says he loves you more than anything might be just plainly a playful joke.

If that would be the case, then please do assess yourself and think if he is worthy enough for you. As mentioned, words are easy to build and say but it's hard to stand with. No one would ever want to be fooled around with pure words. You want the sincerity in it through actions.

It is not a matter of making promises out of words, or reassuring you out of words. It is something more an important. It is about showing the real thing and it is about being true to ones feelings.

In that way, words can be truly acceptable. But if the opposite still goes out, then maybe it's time to call the relationship a quit before going further and making it more harder for you to let go because you are completely hypnotized by the lame words.

Giving Support To A Depressed Friend

By Karen Hanley


Because of the high rate of depression in the country right now, you will most likely know someone experiencing clinical depression. When you are faced with a person who you believe is in this situation, do you know how to handle it?

It has become increasingly critical for everyone to understand how to deal with someone who is depressed. Who knows, the person who gets helped out may even be you.

There is no doubt that depression is a scary subject to talk about. Often we will shrug what the person said off, tell them to get over it, and then change the conversation completely. This is not the ideal solution, as it is only going to intensify his or her depression. Instead, you should open a discussion with the person, and ask what he or she feels and why.

When he starts sharing his emotions and feelings, offer your unsolicited advice. Sometimes, these people just need someone they could pour their heart out to and not someone who would lecture them on what they should do instead.

If you feel like your friend is on the brink of going suicidal or if he talks about suicide, do not ignore it. Try to keep him company until such time that you know he is feeling better.

If a person doesn't want to discuss what they're feeling, don't force them to. It will only aggravate the situation and put you in an uncomfortable position. Just be there for him or her while they go through this difficult time.

You might not guess it but by just simply being around this person, you could actually prevent them from killing themselves. Many folk who've had depression have said that the blackness has lifted when they have been around someone who is compassionate and cares. You should try this compassionate and caring individual.

Finally, remember that you're only one person. Having a depressed friend in need can certainly take a toll on you. You may want to consult a professional to help your friend, and get them back on the road to a happier, healthier lifestyle. Sometimes, all a person may need is a simple medication.

Why A Business Has To Introduce A Win-Win Situation For All Who Partake In It

By Douglas Higgins


It must be a win win situation for all that are involved in business. Furthermore, even the Bible lets us know that all men must walk away with equal profits.

I have been involved in deals worth of small as well as a big chunk of money. In each of those transactions, every person walked away with a reasonable amount of money bearing in mind of not only how much they put into the deal but also how much they got out of it. Frankly, this is the only way every person will feel the transaction was fair for everybody.

Business is not meant to be played by looking to get one over on someone. This portrays that you do not believe in creating win win situations in life and this will make you be discontented in life.

Despite the fact that I am young, I am still learning the game. I am also aware that it is essential to work with people who regard highly integrity as well as appreciate the win win concept.

You may want to reconsider working with people who do not have high integrity as they may pose a risk to your progress in the long term. As you commence the business, you may be earning some good money but with time things would probably take a different turn.

When we were kids, we were taught this win win concept in the form of sharing but as we grew up and became adults, we forgot about it. Time should be wisely invested in this concept by applying it in all parts of life, not just business.

Sharing as an adult is necessary when you are transacting as this creates a win win situations for everyone. Older men's advises have come to me in different words concerning this seeing that they have gone through many experiences in business as well as life.

If you hold on to this one principle that has stood the test of time, you will make good accomplishment not only in business but also in all the areas of your life.

Mind Manifestation - Create Whatever You Desire!

By Louise Dolan


You can manifest your dreams with the use of power of the subconscious mind. The structure of our mind is in layers and these structures combine together and influence the different features of mental world. There are familiar names given to the mind like the subconscious, conscious and unconscious minds.

Conscious mind is the weakest of as it does not posses a lot of influence over your life. Unconscious mind is the strongest which is the most powerful as well. A radical influence will be seen in your life with any sort of change taking place at this level.

Now let's move on to fulfillment of dream with the power of mind manifestation. To be able to fulfill your dreams our minds must be manifested towards that direction. Beginning from clarity of what is desired to working towards achieving those desires, all this can be achieved with the help of manifestation of our minds.

For mind manifestation you must follow your passions in life as these help to create a connection to the unconscious mind. When this connection takes place, the direction of your life and purpose of it moves under the Laws of Mind system without your knowledge. An important thing is here is to be clear of what is desired by you.

You need to be clear about your wishes and the goal set for yourself. If you keep striving to achieve something without any purpose, then this will only lead to a failure. When you set your goals it is essential to move towards one goal at a time. It is natural that you cannot achieve all those in one go. So you move in a progressive manner towards goal achievement.

Now that your goals are set and it is clear what you wish to achieve in life, every possible move in your life now should be towards achieving those goals. You must utilize every hour effectively. As this movement gets inculcated into a habit, every action thereafter should be consistent with it. This will eventually to get more organised in what you do, develop creativity and enhances goal achievement chances.

By ensuring that the above details are followed to perfection you will witness an improvement in your life. When you begin working towards mind manifestation a gradual change in your past behaviors and routine will be seen and with this change correspondingly there is a change in the mind layers affecting the mental reality. Eventually you will feel and see the change bringing an overall healthier change in your life.

To summarise and put it simply you must work towards manifesting your mind to achieve your goals, wishes and ambitions in life. Set a clear vision and move towards achieving those in a systematic and organised manner.

Anaxagoras of Clazomenae and a Metaphysics of Change

By David Von Walland


Most scholars contend that Anaxagoras of Clazomenae lived during the time period of 500 to 428 BCE. He was born in Ionia and later travelled to Athens, where he spent thirty years teaching and writing. Unfortunately, Anaxagoras suffered a similar fate to that of Socrates. On the charges of impiety, the Athenian government sentenced Anaxagoras to death. Fortunately, Anaxagoras decided to forego this penalty, dissimilar to Socrates, and he moved to Lampsacus, where he lived until his death. It seems as though Anaxagoras violated the religious beliefs of the Athenians; however, his ideas were directly consistent with the other Pre-Socratic natural philosophers that preceded him. In any event, he set himself apart from his tradition when he authored a very unique and innovative philosophy of first principles.

Unfortunately for us, we no longer have any existing works of Anaxagoras. Scholars, however, have been able to construct a general idea of his philosophy by studying secondary sources and the fragments we still have today. Anaxagoras particularly challenged the thought of Parmenides who preceded him, but some also claim he wished to discredit Parmenides' student, Empedocles, as well.

Parmenides, a brilliantly innovative thinker himself, denied that change and plurality were even possible. To him, we stand at a metaphysical fork, where we must choose being or nonbeing. Nonbeing was an impossibility, he thought, because if something ceased to exist it would be insensible and no longer be anything at all. Therefore, nonbeing was a ridiculous metaphysical account. Furthermore, for change to occur, something would first start as nonbeing and become being. This, again, is an impossibility because the conclusions is based on premises that are impossible (i.e., nonbeing). Therefore, Parmenides believed that being must be unified and immutable. Scholars would call this a metaphysical monism.

Anaxagoras agreed partly with Parmenides, namely on the fact that nonbeing is an impossibility. However, he wanted to provide a way in which plurality was still possible so that being was not static and unchanging. As a result, Anaxagoras claimed that all things contained everything, or all of reality, in themselves with varying consistency. For example, any particular thing may contain in itself all of the possible substances of which reality may be with greater and lesser proportions of substances. He described this as "a portion of everything in everything."

He backed this theory up by describing the diets of animals. Food, for instance, must be made up of hair, flesh, etc., because animals must get their hair from hair and their flesh from flesh. As a result, all food and all other beings must contain greater or less proportions of all the possible substances in the world, an infinite number. Thus, beings become differentiated because they have a higher amount of particular substances versus lower amounts of other substances. The higher portions give beings their distinctive essence(s).

Anaxagoras did content, however, that being originally was a unified substance. But how can a unified substance provide for difference and plurality? To explain this, Anaxagoras introduced the principle of the Nous, or the "Mind," that ordered, structured, and differentiated Being. The Mind differentiated Being by first "shaking" Being into a vortex of motion. Like the Ionians before him, he needed opposites to account for difference and plurality. As the Nous set Being into motion, Being then created the first pair of opposites, "air and ether." Anaxagoras called this "air and ether" by another phrase, "mixture and seeds." From mixture and seeds, or the initial opposites, all beings can come into existence. By mixture and seeds, Anaxagoras created the conditions for difference and, hence, beings.

As mixture and seeds differentiate Being, the Mind begins to order reality with an infinite possible number of beings. It is only through mixture and seeds that a plurality of being is possible while staying within the Pre-Socratic and Ionian traditions of unified Being. Although the Nous accounted for an efficient cause of Being and beings, or how Being became beings, his theories still lack any ultimate cause, or why Being became beings. Socrates, in fact, criticizes Anaxagoras for proposing such an innovative and full-of-potential metaphysics without providing any account of why.

Though some of Anaxagoras' theories lay in interpretive gray areas, he certainly introduced an original system of metaphysics and first principles that revived the possibility of change after Parmenides seemingly annihilated it. In any event, we should rightly remember Anaxagoras' philosophy for its influence and relevancy to later thinkers such as Gottfried Leibniz (the universe being contained in all things) and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (being versus becoming, being versus nonbeing).

Manifest A New Life Using The Cosmic Ordering Service

By Gina Daad


The thought of being able to order anything you want from the universe and actually getting it, is something more and more people are thinking about. Quite understandable really when one considers the sharp increase in the amount of publicity cosmic ordering has enjoyed recently.

Of course, with the media often running articles concerning celebrities who swear by it, more ordinary people are now wanting a slice of the cake as well. However, for many people, the question still remains, what are my chances of success?

In essence, if you really believe something will happen, it usually does. When you start doubting this, you are actually jeopardizing your own chances of success without even realizing it. So yes, in theory, cosmic ordering should in fact work for everyone.

The cosmic ordering service allows you to have anything you desire. This is of course something with which some people disagree, saying they have never had the desire to be ill or to become seriously injured for example and yes, they are absolutely right.

The problem is not the cosmic ordering service, but rather the way you channel your desires. Avoid saying things such as; I really don't want to get ill. This is a negative manner in which to seek your desires.

You should aim to seek desires from a more positive aspect so, instead of what you don't want, rather desire what you do want. For example, you could say, I'm so healthy it's of little wonder that I never get ill.

Perhaps you have failed here as well and if so, you're not alone. Many people who attempt this, tend to affirm how they are at present, instead of how they could be with a little help from the universe. When you make affirmations, think to the future and how perfect it can be, rather than dwell on the imperfect present moment.

As we embark on our journey through life, our beliefs are often influenced by other people as well as different experiences. When we first started out in this life, we believed in ourselves and that all things were possible and now, we need to believe like that once more.

In a perfect world, a child would grow up with support and knowledge that they deserve all that they want. Instead, children are taught that it's wrong to want a lot. It's bad to receive whatever you want unless you work hard and long hours, and then you also have to have a special reason that you deserve the reward.

Always saying that we should count our blessings is wrong. Why should we settle for practically nothing? After all, there's more than enough for everyone. In fact, there's so much, it could stretch to the edge of infinity.

If you believe there's not enough for you, beware, because this in itself is channelling negative desire. Don't desire what another has, as this could be interpreted as meaning you don't have enough, another negative channel. Instead, be happy for those who have plenty and simply remind yourself, there is enough for everyone.

Does positive thinking really make a difference? Yes, and to stress that point, lets not forget that scientific studies have proven the human brain creates waves of energy capable of moving a quark, the smallest physical particle known to man.

Changing the way we think and the way in which we have been schooled to believe, is by no means easy but it can be done. Admittedly, in order to tackle this immense task, you'll need all the tools you can find.

These tools, like self-hypnosis, binaural frequency waves and subliminal suggestion and affirmations, shoot past the logical portion of the mind into the belief portion, the subconscious. The help to clear away the old beliefs that stop you from using the cosmic ordering system to get everything that you want.

You can control your future but you need to believe it beyond all doubt. With the help of some of these tools, you'll be able to clear away those blockages and order anything you desire, from the cosmic ordering service.

Secret Law Of Attraction Puts Success Within Reach

By Leona Claives


The universe is full of forces and vibrations. Many of these have already been discovered by scientists. They are incredibly powerful forces that shape our physical lives for example gravity. There are however other forces which are responsible for creating reality. Now imagine how much you could achieve you were able to harness these natural forces for your own purposes. With the secret law of attraction, you can do just that.

Your mind is actually a very powerful tool for achieving your goals. Perhaps you were told to visualize the ball going into the basket when you were learning to shoot free throws.

You may have also heard the old adage: "If you dream it, you can achieve it." Both of these techniques are completely legitimate, but they only touch the surface of the much larger concept of the universal law of attraction.

This law allows you to attract what you want to and repel what you don't. It helps you to become a positive thinker and influence others with your upbeat thoughts.

To learn how to make the law of attraction work for you, you don't have to take any fancy classes or go on a Himalayan retreat. All you have to do is take time to train your mind to be open to the natural energy that the universe offers.

Within the universe like objects are often attracted to other like objects. So if you want to pull all kinds of positive energy toward yourself, you need to train your mind to become a positive magnet. This means that only good thoughts and emotions should be coming out of you. Retraining yourself to be a truly positive person takes some work. Most of us use cynicism as a shield against the hardships of daily life.

Conversely, if you are projecting positive vibrations, other positive energy flowing through the universe will be attracted to you as well. You can gather more and more positive energy.

Once good things start happening to you because of the law of attraction, it becomes a virtuous loop. You feel good about yourself, so more good things happen to you. This, in turn, boosts your self-esteem so that even more good things happen to you. All you need to do is take the first step of seeing yourself in a positive light and you can let the law of attraction start working for you today.

When Will The World End A Frightening Prospect

By Beverly Jimenez


There are a multitude of prophecies and predictions that were written describing when will the world end. However, there are many who have an uncanny way of syncing in how they describe not only how the world will end but, also when these events are predicted to occur.

The infamous year 2012 is right around the corner....a date commonly assigned to when the world will end, causing more and more people to become aware of this approaching date. The irony of how a five thousand year calendar, developed by a very intriguing mathematically advanced civilization. The Mayans, who were known for their mysterious abilities in evaluating the of stars and has developed a 5125 year calendar that is set to end on December 21, 2012. A date that the Mayan people predicted, over five thousand years ago, that the world will begin to re-set itself.

There is no book more famous than the Holy Bible, which devotes a whole section to end time prophecy known as The Book of Revelations. Many people find it hard to interpret the meaning behind what is said however, it's description of the end times is uncanny when relating to today's modern technology. It points out about a mushroom cloud that will darken a third of the world. Additionally, how it so closely describes today's jet planes...."They had breastplates like that of iron and the sound of their wings were like many chariots rushing into battle". Two thousand years ago predicting such machines is uncanny.

Who hasn't heard of the famous Nostradamus, who became infamous regarding the mystery behind his many predictions that came true decades after his books were published. One prediction in particular, described a solar event (known as the Winter Soltice) that will cause devastating results to the Earth causing a transformational event of such magnitude not seen since the days of Noah. You will also discover the irony of how even modern day astronomers are predicting a solar event that will have unknown consequences on the Earth.

However, if you study these predictions in further detail, you will discover that they don't necessarily describe the end of the world but, more like the end of the world as we know it. But, there are some promising possibilities in which there could be a chance for survival. It would be very prudent to take the time today to learn about how you may survive the events of tomorrow. Especially, when considering the level of regret later....if you're wrong about not worrying today.

What makes these predictions so very fascinating and frightening at the same time, is how they all appear to agree in timing to this transformational event. With the year 2012 quickly approaching, there are more and more people taking the time to do some investigative work to determine the validity of these prophecies. Additionally, as more commonalities surface within these ancient prophecies, they're finding that even today's events are beginning to provide support to what is expected to happen, You will discover the real truth behind....Swine Flu pandemics, signs of devastating natural disasters and the government cover-ups that are keeping this information from the public.

With there being so much in common with ancient prophecies and how modern day events are beginning to support these predictions, there is a heightened awareness as more people begin to uncover the uncanny truths behind what is being predicted. From the infamous Mayan 5125 year calendar, the Aztec Calendars, The I-Ching prophecies, Hopi Indian teachings down to the trusted Holy Bible, we simply cannot ignore the commonality regarding when will the world end.

Can we simply write these off as a mere coincidence or do we accept the inevitable possibilities that a transformational event is approaching and it's coming our way sooner than later. How do we ignore these ancient prophecies that describe so accurately today's times as when will the world end. Or, can we ignore how modern day events and even scientific predictions all sync to the same conclusion. Perhaps, we're given the unique opportunity to realize what is approaching and what can be done today to prepare for survival of tomorrow.

Understanding The Seven Chakras

By Paul Crawford


Chakra can also be translated as the wheel. It's a Sanskrit word. The Chakras permeate from a point on the physical body and are known as the centers of forces.

There are seven main chakras and other small chakras.

Muladhara- Base or Root Chakra; Swadhisthana - ovaries/prostate; Manipura- Solar Plexus Chakra which is at the navel area; Anahata - Heart Chakra located at the heart area; Vishuddha - Throat Chakra located at throat and neck area; Ajna - Brow or Third Eye Chakra;Sahasrara - Crown Chakra at the top of the head

The beginning of the chakra is at the base of the spine and they end at the top of the head. Chakras are fixed in the central spinal column.

Vibration of the chakras is at different speeds. The slowest speed is at the root or first chakra and the highest speed is at the crown or seventh chakra. Stimulation of each chakra is on its own. Following are the colors of the chakras: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, Violet.

Brightness and size of the chakras vary. This factor is dependent on stress, individual development, energy levels, physical condition, or disease.

The force of the chakras get slowed down due to - Either imbalance of the chakras or Blocked energies. There needs to be a proper and constant balance between health and the chakras for encouragement of sense of well being.

With our feelings getting blocked the natural flow of energy stops and our reaction to unpleasant experiences takes place. If this happens then the maturity and the development of chakras gets impacted. With our experiences getting blocked our chakras also get blocked and then the chakras get disfigured. At the time of normal functioning, each chakra opens and spins clockwise. The unique energies which are desired from the universe get metabolized with this.

First Chakra is the Root - is located at the spine base at the pubic bone in front and the tailbone in back. The root chakra is connected powerfully to our contact with the Mother Earth which provides us with the capability to be grounded into the earth plane.

Belly chakra or the second chakra is rooted into the spine and is situated just two inches below the navel. The center holds the necessary needs for self-worth, intuition, creativity and sexuality.

Third Chakra is the Solar Plexus is situated two inches underneath the breastbone in the center behind the stomach. This chakra is the center of: personal power;the place of ego; passions; impulses; anger and strength.

Fourth Chakra or the heart chakra is the center for compassion, spirituality and love.

Fifth Chakra or the throat chakra is the center to express sound, creativity and communication.

Sixth Chakra, the Third Eye: This chakra is the center for higher intuition, ability, the energies of spirit and light.

Seventh Chakra is referred to as the Crown is the center of dynamic thought and energy, spirituality and enlightenment.

Enhance Your Life With Chakra Healing

By Jai Dahalli


Understanding Chakra

A chakra relates to and broadcasts the energy of life force; it is a point of alignment in the body. Chakra comes from the Sanskrit word that describes a constantly spinning wheel or the sphere aural energy we each have. Hindu text tells us that there are many thousands of chakra points in each of our bodies. The most vital of these chakra points are those which run along the spinal column up to the crown of the head. These are the seven chakra points.

The seven chakras are the root, navel and solar plexus chakras, the heart, throat, and brow and crown chakras. The receiving and transmitting of energy from the surroundings, the individuals involved and other essential surrounding elements involves these chakra points. The mystical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, corporeal and psychological issues of an individual are influenced by the activity of the chakras.

There is a common thread that runs through the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, the explanation of modern psychology of human thought processes and consciousness, or the Hindus mystical perception of the external and internal experience of an individual. That is that the chakras are indeed distinct concerning their definitions or explanations.

No matter if we are sleeping or awake the chakras are continually in motion. Our actions, deeds, glandular processes, structure, appearance and any physical disorders are influenced by this constant activity. An imbalance develops and then makes it known in other areas of our life or body when one or more of these chakras malfunctions for various reasons.

There is a particular endocrine gland that associates with each of the seven main chakras. If there is an imbalance of the chakras functioning it does influence the physical and emotional body processes. This will be exposed as a disorder of some sort in the regulated patterns of behavior and or activities that relate to that particular endocrine gland.

Chakra Balance Maintenance We can safely assume by using the point above as a starting place that for the most part our chakras are related to any type of ailment, illness of disease we may encounter. Although, we may not recognize the appearance of an illness or imbalance there are still concerns or emotional issues that result from our youth that can and will hold bearing on our emotional, physical and spiritual senses.

Generally speaking, the repressed or elapsed emotional balance that comes from experiences of past trauma is one of the main causes of imbalance of the chakras. The cellular level of the body is influenced by the emotional toxins that are habitually buried inside the subconscious of anyone. This is the reason that we should deal with our emotional baggage as this will aid us in maintaining a good balance of the chakras which in turn influence the healing process of our physical being.

Chakra Healing is good for the Body. We directly influence our chakras when we take on such activities as aromatherapy, color therapy and Reiki healing by bringing balance to the chakras while using such items as gemstones, pendulums and crystals.

The performances of yoga breathing and physical exercises are beneficial to maintaining chakra balance within the body and it is something that many individuals enjoy participating in.

There is a wide variety of chakra healing methods, such as using CDs and audio guided visualization tapes to inspire techniques of relaxation and natural healing or focusing on an object, thought or awareness for a particular amount of time. These help by reducing stress and channeling relaxation and mind power.

Chakras work unaided to maintain our body although we cannot touch or see our chakras.

For there to be chakra balance the body must be nourished in order to enjoy optimal health. The seven major chakras benefit from specific foods that help to maintain balance.

The root chakra takes nourishment from spices, protein rich food and root vegetables. Foods such as nuts, seeds, sweet fruits, cinnamon and vanilla nourish the sacral chakra. The solar plexus chakra that enhances out sense of personal self love and self confidence is nourished by consuming dairy products, pasta, breads, spicy mints and cereals.

Green tea and green leafy vegetables nourish the heart chakra. Consuming a lot of water, fruit juices and tangy fruits such as peaches and apples nourish the throat chakra.

The enhancement of the sharpness of in our third eye sight and a deep sense of our psychical talents and gifts that associate with the brow or third eye chakra finds nourishment from the consumption of grape juice, wine, grapes and blueberries.

Detoxifying the body is beneficial to the crown chakra which is our emotional and spiritual center. This is done by the ritual inhalation of incense and herbs and by fasting.

We can influence our health when we influence or stimulate our chakras. Doing so inspires us to be more responsive in our lives as we become completely in tune with our general surrounding as well as all the other elements of the physical and metaphysical environment we live in.

Aries Love Match and Compatibility

By Jamie Astrologer


Aries & Aries The Ram is absorbed to do issues in bursts of enthusiasm, so a brace of Rams calm may move from a first date to the chantry or at atomic for the bedchamber in the beginning. The Ram is generally a baton along with a avant-garde who loves to arrive first, or be at the arch with the queue. Thus, both are activity to be aggressive to appearance off for their beginning observed love or authenticate your wares, blab their achievements and avowal about their dreams at atrocious speeds. The affair of a brace of Rams can achieve in your intriguing alliance dance, but can turn into a antagonism within no time flat. If they lock their horns and end in a activity to prove who's best, the fires of affair will beam and bake several fleeces. It is no great having agitated abroad with activity if each alive in a various direction. Both are absolute persons and do not like activity endemic by anyone. Neither can abide being bedeviled by any person else, so they achieve their very own decisions, and absolute their lives on their own.They account one another's autonomy.Sometimes, however, there's too much accent on appearance rather than on being abutting and adorning the relationship. Ego is generally a ascendant thing inside the relationship.Both are acute to criticism. Nearly accordingly they will attempt with every other, and in tiny doses this is invigorating. But it simply becomes nasty, and one of them is probably to get hurt. Time and work is required to create this accord work.Its not a bout produced in heaven.

Aries & Taurus When the mighty Ram meets gentle Bull. they seem to obtain significantly in common, beneficial determination, point-blank honesty and an appetite for life. However, clear differences will soon emerge. The Ram's determination initiates and gets issues done, but the Bull will take their own time to try and do things, stubbornly resisting any work to push the pace. Aries periodically becomes gripped with an thought and needs to take in an immediate action to act on it. Taurus prefers to fully perceive the whole thought and respond to situations with a more practical and cautious attitude. If Aries ever stumbles or fails, then Taurus usually do not miss an opportunity to remind them of their shortcomings. This is infuriating to Aries and really detrimental towards the relationship. Appreciation of each other's numerous approaches will aid the relation grow harmoniously. Each needs to be in a position to adapt each other's kind or habits. Inside the process, Taurus can assist provide the reliability and consistent dedication needed to aid bring Aries 's ideas and impulses to a fruitful completion. This is a tricky match which will eat learning and adjustment by both. Fire and Earth is often a hard combination,which,however, may perhaps work well together with their joint determination, each being courageous and practical. But, if the mix does not gel, then they will walk away from each other. A single ought to remember to put in a great deal of efforts to produce this relationship work. Its a difficult match.

Aries & Gemini Gemini absolutely stimulates, Aries. As the issues of fire and air interact really explosively. Mars-ruled Aries finds an in a position and adaptable companion in Mercury-ruled Gemini. The enthusiasm and reckless courage on the Ram will have strong appeal for the restless and curious Twins. Each are active and on the go, and are additional interested in the offer than during the past. As soon as one thing has outlived its usefulness, they're in a position to part with it and you go on to a thing new and have a low tolerance for boredom. The combination also share a weakness in common: the inability to stick with issues such as projects and relationships when they come to be dull or problematic. Neither needs a incredibly clingy, dependent type of partner, and with a single another there's a particular quantity of independence that each enjoy. Sometimes the Ram will come to be impatient in the twins willingness to discuss an idea, and not very obtaining towards heart on the matter. Aries becomes abrupt, impatient, and tactless at such times. Under the circumstances, Gemini need to realize that Aries simply doesn't have a taste for conversation, and need to not rely as well a lot on Aries for daily conversation. Handled positively, Gemini can supply many a variety of perspectives on Aries 's impulsive ideas. Gemini requirements range and stimulation. The Twins will likely be faithful as extended as the Ram do not insist on getting the sole focus. Aries and Gemini get on well. Together they may perhaps start to consume the relationship for granted. It's effortless for either of them to seek fresh fields, as both appreciate the challenge of what is new and different. One ought to slow down and enjoy what the other has in this kind of a versatile and willing partner.It could be a perfect match.

Aries & Cancer At first, the attraction is intense, among Mars-ruled Aries, a Fire Sign, and Moon-ruled Cancer, a Water Sign.But they may perhaps soon occur to realize the intensity is based on points they don't understand about a single another.The bedroom lure is strong, but the rough Ram may possibly soon bring about the Crab to withdraw, who would often demand sensitivity and romance. Aries will probably be devoted on the demands of family members and friends. Cancer, on the other hand, is quite devoted to family members needs and also the inner, emotional needs of others. Aries may, without realizing it, selfishly accept Cancer's nurturing and giving attitude, while contributing fairly little for the relationship on an emotional level. Aries 's require for autonomy and independence usually conflicts with requirements for closeness, intimacy, and mutual dependency. Aries appears selfish, impersonal, and indifferent to Cancer at times, and Cancer might feel too needy and emotionally sensitive compared to Aries. However, Aries can understand compassion from Cancer, and Cancer can discover to become more independent, but it's most likely to become a rough road at times with a lot adjustment needed on both sides.

This match demands mutual respect and clear boundaries. Without them, the relationship will fall apart.Its not a so perfect match.

Can God Be Proven Scientifically?

By Daniel Eli


Is there tangible scientific evidence or even "proof" for the existence of God? If so, what is it?

Daniel the reincarnated prophet in the 21st century does not want you to be a blind faith believer. Rather, look at the evidence, both personal by the author and scientifically available to us in the modern era, where it was promised in the Biblical book of Daniel 2,500 years ago that many would "run to and fro, and knowledge increased." (Daniel 12)

That day has arrived with the advent of the internet at the end of an age with the overwhelming amount of information included for free on millions of websites around the world.

Using the current narrow scope definition of the term "proof," there is not any empirical proof as some impossibly and unrealistically demand. The truth or untruth of this statement is not based upon evidence or lack of evidence, but by definition alone.

While "Intelligent Design" skeptics may claim there is no evidence of God, the actual scientific evidence for God's existence is overwhelming, scientifically answering the question, "does God exist?"

What is it about atheists that they would spend so much time, attention and energy refuting something that they don't believe even exists? Many atheists are merely bitter ex-religious types who have become disillusioned by the behavior of "bad acting Christians or Muslims" or point to the atrocities and deaths attributed to organized religions in past centuries, or look at the fallibility of ancient scriptures thereby discarding them all, essentially "throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

Not everyone accepts the "Holy Bible" or Quran as being sufficient "evidence" for the existence of a Creator God, and this is perfectly understandable. There is some evidence contained in the Bible, such as the 300 or so Messianic prophecies fulfilled by Jesus the Christ, at least according to the gospels as they were written, but there exists many cynical atheists who firmly state there is no empirical "proof" of God. They will state,

"The reason why there is no empirical evidence for God is because God is imaginary."

Scientific-minded atheists do not, for the most part, accept personal experiences, spiritual epiphanies, circumstantial or anecdotal evidence for God or the afterlife; for them, empirical laboratory "proof" is the only thing that matters. Are these hostile, closed-minded unbelieving atheists asking for too much? Oddly enough, this author used to be one of these non-believing agnostic/atheists. How spiritually ignorant of me!

Now, the mathematical and rational case discerned from modern science is that life could not have just been an "accident." Mathematical probabilities that vastly complex organs such as the brain, the eyes, the organs etc. are just formed by "random chance" is negligible and even laughable to even suggest.

An amazing array of scientists are bewildered by the extravagant design of the universe and admit a possibility or probability of an intelligent designer. Most famous physicists and cosmologists have all gone on record as recognizing the objective truth of the fine-tuning of life and the universe.

There are many compelling quotes from prominent scientists in the modern era, including Albert Einstein, who are in complete awe of the intricacy and complexity of the universe, compelling many of them to conclude there has to be a divine hand and intelligence behind all that was created. In the year 1994 after a new scientific discovery about the universe, 30 astrophysicists said,

"What we have found is evidence of the birth of the Universe. It's like looking at God."

Design and the "anthropic principle" in the natural world has been acknowledged since the beginning of recorded history. Divine design is the message of each of the several hundred creation accounts that form the basis of the world's religions.

The existence of a non-material conscious entity, or the soul-spirit, responsible for operating the material body has also been demonstrated scientifically. The observations on which this conclusion is based are numerous and quite complex.

There indeed was a Beginning as the universe is not static, nor has it "been around forever." There had to be a beginning, but the Biblical account of a 6-day creation is - much to the dismay of Creationist fundamentalists - NOT divine reality or literal truth. This is just using logic and rational common sense, with an open mind.

The modern scientific evidence suggests the entire universe was created into existence through an event about 13.7 billion years ago called the "Big Bang." The National Geographic magazine has reported some of this "proof" for the Big Bang.

Indeed the Big Bang may be very clear evidence - or even "proof" - of the existence of a supreme Creator. The scientific evidence suggests the universe is expanding and is not static, therefore there had to be a beginning.

There is no logical explanation for the creation and formation of the universe outside of acknowledging God in some form.

According to revelations of modern near-death experiences, there is in fact overwhelming scientific evidence for the existence of soul-spirit survival after death. These are people who have clinically died, seen the Other Side for themselves and returned to tell all about their visions of the afterlife and in many cases, God. This is not some vague "hallucination of a dying brain" where chemicals are released giving some imaginary, delusive vision. The pseudo skeptics try to explain away NDE's in this manner. The NDE is the closest thing we thus far have to "proof" of the afterlife.

In fact, some of these atheist-skeptics have had NDE's, with the effect of radically changing their perceptions about God and the afterlife. Many of these life changing atheist experiences can be found here.

This author has had a Near-Death Experience/OBE in 1991 which confirmed the afterlife for him. The clearest - or at least most powerful - evidence of the reality of the NDE is the fact that it radically changes so many people's lives afterwords, making them more spiritual, less worldly, with a whole new outlook on life and a loss of fear of death. How can some "hallucination" have such profound after effects for so many people?

There also happens to exist overwhelming scientific evidence for reincarnation of the human soul-spirit between lives on earth, as opposed to "resurrection of the body" at the end-of-the-world which the Holy Bible apparently teaches and Christians believe. Soul is spirit and is invisible to the naked eye of most humans.

One of the best evidences for reincarnation and soul existence comes from young children - only 2 or 3 years old and barely able to talk - who remember extensive details of past lives, including their former spouse, job, place of residence and manner of death in their prior incarnation. How could such a thing be possible without reincarnation?

There does in fact exist much more tangible evidence for the existence of a Creator, but I think you get the point.

Your Mind Power Is Incredible!

By Roger Connery


If you were asked that what is that one weapon which you need to face life and come out victorious, what would you have answered? Let me guess, your answer might have been any of those of money, fame, success or maybe a fit body. But the correct answer is your mind power. The power of the subconscious is something that is like a magic wand, having the capability to bring to you whatever you want in life. If you can unleash your mind power fully then the word 'miracle' would cease to exist.

Since we were children we have been told that the only way towards success is through backbreaking hard work. But did anybody ever tell us what power our own mind's contain? That if I can control it, I can achieve anything in life? That you only use 10% of your mind's potential?

Man is always attracted towards abundance. They seek abundance in every materialistic aspect of life, be it abundance in money, abundance in fame, so on and so forth. What you have learnt since childhood is the fact that you can only achieve this abundance by staying up nights, burning midnight oil and doing a backbreaking job. But the truth is that if you can unleash and utilize your mind power then the power of your faith and your energy will go on to manifest these abundance in your life. If you seek abundance then you should always think about the abundance that you already have in terms of the money you have, the job that you have, the functioning body that you have and be joyful and grateful for it.

The second bad habit that we have developed since childhood is to always worry regarding things that we don't have sufficiently. For example, money, fame, Jewellery, electronics, cars, houses, etc are some of the things we always crib about while the mere presence of a job, a house, a family and a fully functional body goes unnoticed.

Everything in universe in energy. Hence, if you focus all your energy in a particular thing that you want in your life, visualize its attainment strongly and go on affirming your own mind that the event will take place, you will see that your mind power, or rather your energy would affect the entire cosmos and result in the event or thing getting manifested in reality.

Moreover, since like attracts like, thinking of abundance will bring in more abundance. We are always distressed about what we don't have instead of being joyful with what we have. You should realize that your subconscious mind power or the power of your thoughts of distress will bring in more distress while if you feel joy and gratitude, it will be these emotions which shall get manifested in your life.

Hence, as a conclusion it might be said that if you focus all your energy on something that you want and have the power of faith that it will happen, and then nothing can stop it from getting manifested in reality. Your mind power is the sole source from which your destiny is created.

Are You Ignoring Your Subconscious Mind?

By Geoff Vincent


Let's face it; practically everyone in the world today is aware of the fact that they have a subconscious mind. In fact, when things go wrong in our lives, many people immediately place the blame on their subconscious mind. Unfortunately however, not many people seem to realize just how powerful the subconscious mind can be, and that it can be your best friend or your worst enemy, in that it is your subconscious mind which ultimately controls the way in which you live your life. Perhaps you are wondering what exactly is a subconscious mind, and why it's essential for people to pay close attention to what the subconscious mind is thinking?

Even though many professionals insist on arguing the point, the human race has by all accounts acknowledged the fact that the subconscious mind does indeed exist. Basically, the subconscious mind is like a mind within your mind. It is the part of you which controls and directs your actions and also your thoughts. It's that little voice in the back of your head that you always hear when you're faced with a difficult situation. The way in which a person's subconscious mind communicates with them differs from one person to the next, meaning that no two people have the same type of subconscious mind. Even if you have an identical twin and you were both raised in the same environment, under the same conditions, you will both have a different inner voice.

Contrary to what you may believe, you have also heard your subconscious mind speaking to you in the past. For example, if you've ever been on the verge of making a monumental decision and a voice inside your head managed to speak you out of it, then that was your inner mind talking. Obviously we all want our inner mind to talk us out of doing dangerous things but unfortunately it sometimes manages to convince us that we cannot do something even though we actually can. As such, your subconscious mind is basically what you think of yourself deep down, and if left unchecked, it can have disastrous consequences.

Of course, if those thoughts which come from deep within are negative, then there's not much chance that you will ever be able to enjoy the type of life you long for. On a more positive note; it is possible to change the way a subconscious mind thinks, and in so doing, you can successfully changed the way you live your life so that you can enjoy it to the fullest.

For example, many people firmly believe in the power of affirmations in order to change the way they think. These are essentially statements of a positive nature which one can repeat to oneself several times throughout the course of each day. The beauty of this is that there's no need to spend vast amounts of money, simply because you can do it all by yourself, at home or even at work. Just take a moment to think about what aspect of your life you'd like to change, and then start thinking about yourself.

If for example you want to lose weight, then instead of thinking of yourself as being overweight, you should be repeating to yourself a statement like, 'my weight is absolutely perfect'. The more you enforce this message upon yourself, the more effective it will be. Ideally, you should write it down on a piece of paper which you can keep in your pocket and you should place a copy of it in any area of your home where you spend a good amount of time. In fact, you could even have it has a screen saver on your computer. Providing you repeat this message enough times, your subconscious mind will eventually pick up on the idea that this is what it should be thinking.

In this example, you would soon start noticing that you're losing weight. On the other hand, if you had been using affirmations regarding becoming wealthy, you would soon see your bank balance increasing. The good news is that you can apply this technique to any aspect of your life. Sound too good to be true?

In case you're wondering if your subconscious mind really does have an impact on your life, let's look at the following scenario. You have an important meeting in the morning but unfortunately you forget to set your alarm. You wake up late and immediately begin panicking, and as a result, you soon start believing that the day is not going to go your way. To make matters worse, when you get into your car, you discover the battery is flat and that the car won't start. After getting someone to help you, you set off on your way but you end up getting caught in the traffic. Even when you do eventually make it to the meeting, everything seems to go wrong. By now you firmly believe that your day cannot get any worse than it's already is but the bad news is that it continues throughout the rest of the day.

Now, if you're like so many others, you'll simply put it all down to coincidence but the only problem is, there is no such thing as coincidence. Instead, everything happens for a reason. In fact, it's usually your subconscious mind which is the reason.

In recent times books such as 'The Secret' have tried extremely hard to explain this phenomena in scientific terms which is why it is now known as the 'Law of Attraction', which states that a person's subconscious mind not only responds and reacts to real life situations, but that it actually plays a part in creating such situations.

Even though this may sound rather crazy, the fact of the matter is that it is in agreement with quantum physics. In fact, it has even been proven at a subatomic level, in that matter is intrinsically linked to the mind of the observer. Interestingly enough, many ancient religions have been trying to tell us of this ever since man can remember.

Obviously, if we create our own reality with us subconscious mind, then we can buy all accounts choose what sort of reality we wish to experience. Using nothing more than affirmations, some of the wealthiest people in history have managed to accumulate vast amounts of money. This is because they continuously and consistently believed that they were becoming rich.

Mastering Astral Projection - Is It Possible?

By Bonita Symes


Mastering Astral Projection involves mastering the art of separating your conscious from your physical body and traveling from the latter towards another higher astral plane. Ancient religious practitioners were known to be experts in this and could transcend the physical boundaries of the universe by traveling to higher astral planes.

Many people are seen to give a lot of effort in mastering astral projection. This is due to the fact that the experience of leaving your own physical body and watch it from a distance is an experience of a lifetime. Moreover, your subtle state of consciousness, your aura or your astral existence transcends the physical universe and moves freely to a higher plane moving away from the body to wherever desired, observing the world at a distance. Hence, mastering astral projection is a very popular activity amidst the esoteric believers.

The first and foremost aspect of mastering astral projection requires mental affirmations. Remember that in order to attain anything you need to believe that you can, in the first place. Remove fears and apprehensions from your mind and constantly affirm or tell your subconscious that you can, and you will successfully project yourself astraly.Write down your beliefs if it helps and remember that faith can achieve almost anything in life.

Secondly, the most important thing that you need to start and build up on is meditation. Projecting your astral existence from your physical body requires a high level of concentration, visualization power, control on your subconscious mind and an ability to channel one's attention and energy all of which can only be developed with the help of meditation.

The third thing to note in mastering astral projection is the time in which you will induce it. Almost all astral projection that takes place is seen to be in relation with sleep, specifically REM and lucid dreaming stages. When you sleep you go through four stages with your sleep growing deeper in each one. After the fourth stage the cycle inverses till it reaches the REM mode which consists of Rapid eye Movement and intense brain activity. This is the time when people see a lot of dream and the perfect time in mastering astral projection.

Now that you are mentally ready for astral travel, lie down in a dimly lit or candle lit room preferably in light clothes. Remember that no electrical equipment should be switched on to distract you and abstain from having too much food, especially items like non-vegetarian or caffeine. Try to mimic the REM sleep mode, let your body rest, but keep your mind awake and focused. Start with meditating and being aware of yourself and the energy flowing in you. Channel this energy into a vision of you floating up from your body or you can even visualize a rope and yourself climbing up by it.

A crucial thing to remember in mastering astral projection is that if one has even the slightest of apprehensions regarding whether you'll be able to return to the body then you will not be able to leave in the first place. Moreover, after you actually leave your body and progress forward remember not to panic or be fearful while moving away more since then you will be suddenly sucked back or pulled back into your body once again.

Lastly, technological interventions like that of the binaural beats can be used in creating the mental state that is conducive to astral projection. Binaural Beats involve hearing two different sound vibrations through both ears which fuses into each other and synchronized in the brain so as to create the required mental state. Whatever technique is used, mastering astral projection is not particularly easy and needs high mind power. However, once achieved, it is an experience of a lifetime which forces open many a doors to your personality which you may not have known before.

Keys to a Successful Philosophy of Education Statement

By Chris Cottingham


Learn about the importance of using a philosophy of education statement for teaching positions. If you are a teacher looking for a new job, employers will want to see your philosophy of education statement, sometimes also called an education philosophy statement. It is an important part of your teaching portfolio and allows you to communicate your teaching style, objectives, and how your teaching concepts are applied in the classroom setting. The majority of teaching applicants are asked to articulate their teaching philosophy using a philosophy of education statement.

Many teaching applicants use their philosophy of education statement to distinguish themselves from their competition. The statement should cover various issues but needs to be very clear and concise since it should not be longer than two pages. It should have a straightforward and narrative style. Creative teachers sometimes use a poetic style while others might use a question and answer format.

The statement should include the following:

* Teaching perception. In this section, explain your teaching process, what teaching and education means to you, and how you are able to facilitate this process as a teacher. Factors such as student motivation, the learning process, challenging students academically, and supporting their ability to learn need to be addressed.

* Learning perception. In this section, clearly explain what learning means to you and the processes involved. You can draw comparisons to other educational philosophies or relate your view on how students learn based on your past experience as an educator.

* Teaching objectives. You need to explain your teaching objectives for your students and present the types of skills or abilities you expect your students to obtain. You also need to explain the concept and rationale behind these objectives and how you will keep adjusting them to meet the ever-changing needs of your students.

* Plan of execution. The most important section of your statement is explaining the various ways in which you will implement your philosophy to help your students achieve their educational goals.

When writing your philosophy of education statement, use the present tense and active voice, which are easiest to read and understand. Include specific examples of your philosophy of teaching so that your readers can visualize how you will interact with students even if they have not visited an actual class that you have taught. Your philosophy of education should be well thought out. Make sure that you are writing about your personal experiences and beliefs. If you just submit a standardized statement, it will be noticed by the reader and fail to make much of an impact.

How To Be A Master Of Astral Projecting

By Peter Escobar


The term astral projecting refers to the projection of a person's inner self, or in other words his spirit, astral body, soul, aura, or whatever term you refer it with, from that of his physical body to traverse a path towards higher ethereal realms.

Astral projecting thus is a travel like no other. It is a journey of a life time that lets you transcend the boundaries of the physical universe and gives you the chance to observe yourself and the world from a higher plane of existence. It is a spiritual journey which forever changes one's perspective towards, life, death, reality, relationship and his own true potential.

The history of astral projecting can be traced back to the ancient times and across all ancient civilization, religions and cultures. It was believed in and practiced by spiritual travelers from Egypt to China and finds mention in the ancient Hindu Upanishads to the comparatively modern bible.

If we start from Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations of the world, astral projecting can be seen to be a concept formed around their belief in 'ka' or the immortal soul within man. They believed 'ka' to be an energy body, the immortal and omnipotent soul inside the boundaries of the physical body which had the ability to be free and to travel outside it. The proof lies in the fact that the ancient Egyptians preserved their bodies after death so that they can travel to the next world along the 'ka'.

If one studies ancient scripts of a spiritually advanced religion of Hinduism, it can be seen to contain numerous writings about how astral projecting can be attained and the experiences thereof. A religion with its core belief lying in the immortality and omnipotence of the soul, it is all about how one can gain control over his subconscious mind through meditation so as to be able to do whatever and travel wherever his mind desires in separation to the earthly physical body.

In ancient Chinese philosophies, astral projecting finds place within all the alchemic practices thereof. Essentially it involves breathing techniques for drawing in energy in a small pearl which is thereafter circulated to form the required energy body for astral traveling from that of the physical body of the individual.

Coming to western parts of our world, it must be noted that astral projecting has its roots in classical philosophies, renaissance thoughts as well as modern theosophical beliefs where the term astral body is thought to be a link between the soul and the body of man while the astral plane is considered to be between heaven and Earth full of galaxies and stars.

Thus, whatever the belief and whatever the practice in different religions over different transitions of time, it can be seen that astral projecting has forever been in vogue. Believed in different concepts and achieved in separate practices, it is that journey of one's inner soul that can be attained by each and every human. The key to its lies in meditation, being aware of one's subconscious and gaining a certain amount of control over it in order to project it outside for this one in a life time experience.

Abundance Prosperity - It Really Can Be Yours

By Aleisha Ode


On hearing the words 'abundance' and 'prosperity' what actually comes to the mind? It brings to our mind large supply of money and things like huge mansions, imported cars, gems and ornaments and of course new-age gadgets. Other than these it also refers to handsome and pretty looks and everything one wants to get plentifully in life.

The words abundance and prosperity are inter-related in such a way that one is the cause of the other. While, abundance of desirable objects can make a person prosper, it can also be said that when a man prospers he gets his desirable things abundantly.

Now, how can one attain abundance prosperity in his life? Don't we all agree that the only objective of a person's life is to gain abundance prosperity? Isn't creating abundance prosperity of everything in his life the reason behind his studies, the career path that he chose and behind all the hard work and decisions that he has taken in his life? This way he moves towards the way to create abundance prosperity.

It's a known fact that the human mind is capable of immeasurable power. Our sub conscious mind is capable of achieving anything and everything in the world if we could control it and also direct powers to it. This logically leads to the question, can abundance prosperity be achieved by our mind that we so much desire? We can get the answer in the two modern theories of "Law of Attraction" and "Cosmic Ordering".

Law of Attraction is a new age concept which states that if a person focuses on a specific object of desire for abundant prosperity and truly believes it to be coming his way, then the power of his positive thoughts will attract the object of desire from the universe and cause it to manifest in his real life. Simply put, it means that thoughts create destinies and whatever you think about and truly believe in, is what will happen in real life.

For instance, if a person badly desires to head an organization someday, which he thinks would be abundance prosperity, then as per the above stated law, he must really believe it in the heart of hearts that he would achieve the object of his yearning and the day when he would become the head of that organization is not far away.

Visualizing yourself in that top most powerful position and focusing all your energies on this vision will charge it up and your energies will attract this event from the infinite energy of the cosmos into manifesting in real life.

The philosophy of cosmic ordering on the other hand believes that the object of your desire has already happened. That is, it states that since you are a part of the infinite cosmos, if you imagine yourself to be the head of your organization let all your emotions like happiness, excitement, sense of achievement, etc and energy flow freely, then these will tune in to the infinite energies of the cosmos and order the object of the imagination to take place in real life. Thus, the power of your own subconscious mind in each of these two cases will create your own destiny towards abundance prosperity.

Apple To Utilize The "Fun Theory"

By Lee Clark


We have often heard about the saying, "Learn to like your work, and you will never have to work again." Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? If you just adore what you are doing, then exactly what seems to be a boring career could become play, by just making it more fun. The problem is, several jobs and the things that all of us do in real life just isn't entertaining so some simple thoughts setting wouldn't have the desired effect. But now, Volkswagen is utilizing a philosophy as outdated as time and taking it to an entirely new stage. And it looks like other companies tend to be catching on.

It's called the "fun theory" plus some experiments have been done to verify this business philosophy, so easy, that even a 5 yr old can relate with. And it's so down to earth; it's very incredible that it has not been fully utilized, not up to now. The idea is to make monotonous tasks, activities or even products fun and it will change people's attitude toward it.

One experiment done was to install digital cello sounds at the stairs of the sub-way besides an escalator. When someone steps on the flight associated with stairs, they can hear piano notes, and almost immediately people got interested. Before the particular experiment, there were approximately 10% - 12% of commuters selecting the escalator though only one day of the test, practically more than half of commuters wished to walk on the piano stairs. It means that when we put enjoyable into something, people's attitudes are changed for the better.

In the electronic digital and communication industry, there is hardly time for fun and jokes. Each company competing for the top area, executive making daily selections that could cost a company huge amounts of money, but product designers make it a point to put 'fun' in their products and also gadget. Ever wondered why RIM called their new pc tablet the Blackberry PlayBook? See, now you are receiving the idea, don't you?

And Apple and other sectors related to Apple are going to follow this route of fun. Some people obtain iPhone insurance because it will cover their particular smartphone from theft, reduction and even accidental damages, plus they know it's beneficial. But would putting some form of fun directly into getting some thing already essential such as insurance for iPhone increase people's attention and sales even further?

Apple is likely to join the 'fun theory' mania as well, no doubt. So don't be blown away the next gen of Apple products, iPhone insurance, iPhone case, iPhone apps and themes etc. will have a hint of making you feel you are a child once again.

Gemini Scorpio Compatibility

By Garry Chelsa


I'm a Gemini woman with a Scorpio man too... concept I'd share some insight and repay karma, as I have observed _ reading immensely helpful to understanding & growing my thus far 8mo. relationship. Let me tell you, it has been a crazy, intense, dramatic, turbulent roller coaster ride with all of the extreme highs and extreme lows!!

First thing, he is genuinely interested in you / relationship, if you've been spending that much time together and enjoying eachother's company, especially if you have already recognized every other / had a history (high school). Scorpio's just require plenty of time to digest and analyze their emotions and situations, "need a lot of space" as quite a few sites allude to, specially after these kinds of a critical move / action inside newly budding relationship. He is possibly more than thinking and more than analyzing each emotion, action, interaction, reactions, etc. from the entire situation, and since Scorp's are so emotionally deep, sometimes it takes them a whilst to rationalize and make sense of their emotions... thus the space and must disconnect at times. Don't take in it being a sign of rejection / abandonment, this really is just their nature to pull away, most men are like that but particularly more so for Scorp males. Just leave them be, and most often then not, they'll be back.

Also TRUST is of ascendant accent to Scorpio's, and he will not accessible up and allotment his accurate thoughts / affections until he trusts you (and alike afterwards he does, he still would be quiet / backstairs / mysterious! Conceivably he feels so acutely / thinks so abundant into everything, that he's at a absent for words, or cannot accurate all he feels into words, abounding times -- that's what I think!). Additionally be forewarned that Scorpio's are abominable for "TESTING" their mates -- some alarm it apperception games, some alarm it ever alert / apprehensive / arresting / actual austere guys... whatever it is, it happens, they do it whether or not they realize. They are additionally MOODY, cynical, decumbent to depression, and angry... accusation it on Pluto and Mars. I anticipate Scorps are admiring to Gems b/c we're ablaze & happy, and they're aphotic & sad... and actuality in the aphotic best of the time sucks (as you can adjure to with your bearings with him at the moment!). They additionally charge to feel powerful, and in CONTROL of situations and abnormally of his own emotions. They abhorrence to feel anemic in themselves or faculty weakness in others. His own affections are the greatest antecedent of their backbone but additionally their greatest weakness, so falling in adulation entails a little bit of accident control, and best will resent giving up some ascendancy (but additionally adulation it too, as they adulation to love, and acutely too... go figure). Also, beware of their stings! They can accept bitter remarks, aciculate tongues... abnormally if they feel angered in some way (they are VERY SENSITIVE!!! but adumbrate it beneath the guise of PRIDE and EGO!!!). Dealing with a Scorpio man, you will advance a thicker skin, a added wry faculty of humor, as able-bodied as the backbone of a saint!!! Alike if/when you get accomplished this accepted impasse... accumulate in mind, appear the ones they accept animosity for, they like to aggravate (ie. aces on / accomplish fun of) you to appearance their "playful/happy"... if annihilation else, you will absolutely abound stronger as an individual!!!

My consume on your case is that he could be falling for you, and is afraid of feeling vulnerable, b/c he does not know your intentions. Especially, don't desire to lose a friendship in your fling if that is your factor (could be what he's thinking; maybe he thinks you will be only interested in casual relationships and not anything more). He's almost certainly not one of the most expressive guy either, but being a Gemini, it is possible to wonderfully communicate your sincerity / intentions / SERIOUSNESS to make him consider safer for him to open up -- again, gaining his trust is key. B/c you guys were drinking / under the influence, perhaps he's unsure whether or not you intend it to go further. My guidance would be to text him a 'happy' msg and ask to meet up for coffee / no pressure / both of you guys comfortable public place, be pleased to see him, give him a warm friendly hug... then tell him that you incredibly significance your friendship, had a great time the other night (can add in wistfully / playfully, 'wish to experience it even though sober! b/c it would be far more meaningful, an experience i want to have with you'), and would like to see if your friendship can now grow into a relationship. In case you look into his eyes, you can see the simple fact and sense his emotions. If you don't meet up, you'll be able to text him some thing similar, towards the effect of 'Just desire to say I value your friendship. What happened another night was particular to me, even though it could were a lot more particular if I/we were sober. I don't believe in casual sex/relationships, and consider in honesty and sincerity. Getting to know you a little bit far more now, I am interested in seeing if we can develop a meaningful relationship. However, I would realize should you don't consider the same'. Ideally, you guys is going to be in individual when you have a talk similar to this, but if not, just text him something like that, and then just leave it at that. He ought to occur around in a day or few following digesting and analyzing your words. Funny factor with these guys is, even if it appears like they are ignoring you, they'll nevertheless listen... just not respond right away. And be forewarned... the mating dance with Scorp males is slooooooooooooooowwww... I like to envision a scorpion that is certainly immobile until he feels safe enough / sure there is no prey to attack their yummy innards!

Also, verify out astrologycompatibilityreport.com. There are lots of good insight into these hard Scorpio men!!! Good luck! Please update on any developments!
