Things To Know Before Searching For Life Insurance Quotes

By Rodney Daniel Bolton

If you want to make sure you family is financially secure after you die, a life insurance policy is a good idea. It can be a confusing process, but it does not have to be. If you do a little homework in advance, you will know what you need when you look for life insurance quotes.

You will need to know what kind of life insurance is best for you, and how much you want to be covered for. On the market today, the most widely sold types of polices are term life and whole life insurance.

The whole life policy will cover you throughout your life. These policies are the ones that have been on the market the longest and many people still have a whole life policy.

Whole life insurance covers you in the event of your death, but there is also an investment component, which is designed to accumulate value for you. That is why you will pay more at the beginning of a whole life policy, because part of the premium is being put aside as an investment for you. After money has accumulated, if you wish, you will be able to borrow money against the policy.

Term life insurance is for a specific amount of time that you choose. As long as you make the premium payment, you will be covered during the term of the policy. Unlike whole life insurance, term life insurance does not accumulate a cash value. Once the term is over, you receive no money and you are no longer covered.

For people who do not have a big income, or many assets, a whole life policy might be best. That way they can rest assured that their family and estate will be taken care of. For people who earn a good living and have plenty of money and assets, a term life policy can protect them for the length of time they feel it is necessary.

After these decisions have been made, you will be ready to search for life insurance quotes. This is the easy part. The Internet offers a large number of life insurance companies and brokerages for you to find the comparisons you are looking for.

The Defiant Rain Drop

By Jay Kubassek

It was a heavy and wet morning when the trees let out quiet sighs, aching from the fresh weight of the evening's frost. A man sat in his study watching exhausted leaves tremble and fall, spilling light with each pirouette. It was a morning not unlike any other for this man. He rose at seven, as was his custom. Washed his face with cool water and prepared for the morning's conversation and walk with Mr. Wellington.

Mr. Wellington had been his morning companion for many years now, and preferred a rather specific route to initiate his business. The man had found Wellington in a shoebox behind an Arby's one late night. Grease had accumulated below the pups nose giving him a rather distinguished looking moustache of oil. The man figured a proper name was only appropriate for an animal of such noble birth.

Ten o'clock came quickly, and the ticking drip of the frost could be heard spilling onto the tin shed in his garden. A manila folder sat on his desk. A lifetime of thought, discipline, sacrifice, and struggle condensed into 42 pages. As he pulled onto the interstate a solitary drop of water clung to his window. Despite his speed the drop remained steady at his flank.

This brought pause to the man, and he looked back upon that solitary drop as he made his way towards the classroom.

There were many hands to shake, and all about him the man saw nothing but smiles followed by approving nods of recognition. It was as he had hoped. He tried with all that was him to be pleased, but he could think of nothing but the defiant drop. He felt it staring at him, or into him. He wondered would it be there when he returned.

As he made his way to the podium it became clear, and a wave of calm came over him that he hadn't felt in years. He smiled, closed the manila folder, and elegantly strode to the trash and dropped the folder in it.

His audience stood aghast, frightful and confused at what they had seen. The man bore even larger smile now as he made his way back to the podium.

His words were brief, but assured. They were received in utter silence for everyone now knew, without question, here was a man who's ideas were worthy of thought.

Friends, do not be afraid to be different. To think differently, to change your mind. What is that defiant water drop in your life? That hope, that dream, that stares back at you day and night? Begging for you to seize itself.

I leave you with this: "He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life." -R. Waldo Emerson

The Ambiance of Candles

By Jim Slate

Slate and Artsmith - The candle is a powerful symbolic feature in the human perspective. There is nothing more intimate and relaxing than the gentle flickering of a tiny flame. Its delicate dance upon wind and wick is enchanting, casting a spell upon the watcher who gazes lazily into the light.

When you watch a candles flame it almost seems alive. It moves of its own accord, devouring the wick to sustain its flame, so that it can continue to dance upon the gentlest of breezes. It is your own personal performer, an almost silent show played out before you.

The ambiance that is created by the presence of candles is ethereal. Illuminating less than regular fixtures, shadows are cast on the space, making everything seem a little less real. The world is hazy, and wavering. In such a space anything can happen. If you are alone, you may find yourself slipping into a phantasm. If you are with someone else, the dream may be shared. The possibilities are endless, and are dictated more by the will of your mind than by the realities of the world.

That is why candles are so romantic. They represent small, inefficient lights. Left in shadow we are less inhibited. Hidden behind a mask of darkness, it is easier for us to take a leap of faith, and easier someone else to accept your leap. Meanwhile, the flickering flame sets a rhythmic beat, a constant pulse of glow that acts as the backdrop to any situation.

Their romantic power is so overwhelming, that their mere presence can turn a mundane room into a passionate retreat. Try a few scattered around the bathroom, the bedroom, or even the living room. With the lights dimmed and the candles glowing, you can instantly set the mood, with little or no effort.

Candles are a powerful connection with a past set in darkness. They are the light that has sustained us through a thousand generations. Gentle yet passionate, they embody an idea of simple beauty, whose purity is its greatest asset.

Why Manifesting Money Is A Very Real Idea!

By Simon Hearn

The idea of manifesting money for anything you want or need is often confusing to many people. After all, we've been brought up to believe that 'money doesn't grow on trees', or perhaps your parents instilled the belief that 'you have to work hard for money'.

These ingrained beliefs can lead many people to think that manifesting money is impossible.

You need to understand however that having abundance and manifesting money is more than just possible. You would truly be amazed at the things that your thoughts can accomplish for you if you just let them.

Take a look around you right now. The person you are today, your job, your home, your relationship, the amount of money in your bank account. All these things are a result of your own thought patterns.

Most people automatically become skeptical after hearing this. After all, how many times a day do you wish for more money, a different home, a nicer car or a better job? If thoughts had power to manifest money into your life, then these people should be millionaires, right?

Wishing for a thing to happen and manifesting money into your life are two completely different thought processes. Wishes are like day-dreams and everyone has little fantasies about being rich or having everything they desire. Manifesting abundance into your life is partially to do with the things you think about, but you also need to believe you're worthy of receiving the things you manifest into your life.

As an example, have you ever heard about people who win huge amounts of money on lotteries, only to be broke again a year later? Those people have successfully manifested massive amounts of money, but when they don't believe they're worthy of receiving it, they make unwise choices and end up losing everything they've gained.

So how do you manifest money into your life whenever you need it to arrive?

Reset Your Acceptance Levels - If you're living in an area you don't like, have a job you don't enjoy or have no money in your bank account, deep down there's a thought process inside you telling you that you don't deserve any better. In order to manifest money enough to have the things you want, you need to reset your acceptance levels.

Inner Speak - Learn to listen to your inner thoughts. When you notice any negative thoughts or cynical thoughts, make an effort to replace those with positive affirmations. Tell yourself often that you do deserve to have all the things you want. This might feel false the first few times because of long-ingrained habits, but your mind will eventually begin to realize that you do deserve to receive the things you want.

Understanding-While money might be your goal, it's important to know that you can't just it magically appear. You need to think about a few things first, one of the most important being why you actually want the money. If you don't know, it's not going to show up.

The Real Situation-By manifesting money, you should know that it won't just show up at your front door. You need to believe that you are worth it, and once you do, many different opportunities to gain that money you deserve..

Though you might have dreams, dreams are all they'll be unless you learn to manifest money The best part about it however, is that it's a lot easer than you think.

Your Subconscious Mind - The Reality Creator?

By Martin J Church

Have you ever wished to become a millionaire? Or, perhaps you wish to discover true love and happiness? Have you ever thought about looking into your subconscious mind for the answer? Yes, the human mind is a home to our greatest treasures and those that discover the ability to harness the power of the mind will learn there is nothing they cannot achieve.

Though some have dismissed those that believe in mind power as being gullible or easily manipulated, scientific study continues to show that what we think and believe can then become our reality.

Scientists have also noted that what we believe to be reality is really nothing more than a mere manifestation of your subconscious mind. It will go without reason that those that venture into their own minds so they can control to shape their realities.

In order to discover the success that you are in need of, you have to reshape how you think. That means you need to revamp negative thoughts, emotions, and feelings to replace them with a positive belief in yourself. Even those nightly dreams and imagination you employ to reflect more positively on yourself in order to get what you absolutely desire.

The most basic rationale behind mind power is that we are the ones to shape our realities through a common cause and effect relationship. Those that believe in the power of suggestion and channel it to your subconscious mind, you can tell it exactly what you want. From this, you will achieve your success as opposed to just drifting in and out of your current situation.

For mind power to work, you have to focus on nourishing your subconscious mind. Daily positive affirmations are one of the easiest ways to quickly bring about change in your thinking.

The employment of affirmations can help. This involves making very basic, simple statements in your mind throughout the day. This is done to eliminate a number of negative thoughts and sorrowful feelings. This will greatly aid in increasing your confidence and allow you to learn to trust the power of your mental thought process. Affirmations can center on any issue you are dealing with and it will give you the encouragement to lose weight, eliminate an addiction, or chanting that you will find true love.

Don't just think about it though; visualize your dreams actually coming true!

Once you close your eyes and look inwards towards the results that you desire. You need to imagine yourself losing weight or amassing the money needed to purchase a new home. Yes, you can allow your imagination to go a little wild. You can feel those sensations and accomplish your goals as if they were really happening.

One way you can you bring these visualizations to life can boost such ventures is through creativity. You can write down your feelings as a means of accomplishing the goal or keeping a scrapbook of positive photos can allow you to set the stage for moving such beliefs from the mind to the real world.

By changing the way you see reality and shaping your subconscious mind, you can also unlock supernatural talents. Psychics who can see into the future or past, people with telekinesis and those with other supernatural abilities are not born with a talent you don't have. They have just learned how to use their full potential and unlock the talents buried within the subconscious mind.

Through the positive power of the mind, it is possible to become the director of your own life instead of being a passive player. The subconscious mind can even deliver the secret to living a very healthy life. Many of our physical ailments can actually start in the brain. Brainwave synchronization or audios that tune into the specific frequencies of the brain can aid in improving self-esteem and the potential to think positively.

Power Of The Mind - What Can It Really Do?

By Janice Stokes

Not all people realize that mind power can actually help bring positive changes to one's life. You may not realize it but you are actually using it in your everyday life. The power of the mind influences all aspects of your life. While it commands you body to function, it may also command positive energies to bring positive changes in your life.

Whenever you dream and desire for things in your life, if you wanted it so bad, it just seem to magically happen. As you go to bed and fall asleep hoping for things like salary increase or recovery from a disease to happen, you often find yourself waking up with that thought in your mind actually happening in your life. This is a classic example of your subconscious mind power at work.

In fact the more scientists research quantum physics it seems that our whole reality is in fact merely a product of our own mind. That our mind power is in fact reality.

Eastern religions have demonstrated the power of meditation and mind power for centuries. With their definition of reality, real things were believed to exist because we have imagined it.

It seems rather ironic that in this so called 'enlightened' age of ours, our scientists are looking at historical scrolls and texts to find out the true nature of reality!

So if reality is a creation of our mind, then it seems logical to presume that we can change our reality by changing the way we think about things. We can change things into whatever we want with the power of the mind.

But how do we do this? The real first place to start is by mental conditioning. In order to unlock your power of the mind, it is important that you clear out unnecessary thoughts, and start fresh. One of these methods is by meditation, which while there are many different techniques, there are a few simple exercises that you can do yourself.

To effectively meditate, try sitting on a comfortable chair in a darkened room. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out to your mouth. You may experience light headedness but it is only your body's natural reaction to the increase in its system's oxygen supply.

Visualize yourself in front on a tranquil pond with pebbles in it. The pebbles symbolize your random thoughts and ideas, your every day confusions. Imagine getting those pebbles out of the pond. Once you are done, you are now ready to unlock the power of the mind. Clearing out the pond is clearing out your mind with random thoughts that constantly goes in and out of your mind. This way, you will be able to separate your random thoughts from your wishes and wants.

Wishes like world peace certainly takes bigger solutions, it takes more than one person's thoughts to make it happen. Hoping for things like to stop global warming and save the planet could be impossible as it is unreachable by one person alone. Personal goals and dreams such as dream jobs and happiness are the hopes and dreams that you can achieve as it is your mind that is to control your life's outcomes.

If you are having trouble with your relationship and you hope to talk it out with your partner, the power of the mind can facilitate healing from all the pain, which may resolve your conflict. While it cannot bring your partner to actually talk to you, it can help you become a better communicator and a better partner for your partner.

Now realize that some things may happen right away, but other things take time. Unlocking the power of the mind does take some time, and you must overcome mental programming that says you can't. This is a very simple thing that you can start with.

Remember that you still have to do your part. If you wish for better communication with your partner, you have to start talking to them about things that bother you, in a respectful manner. If you wish for that dream job, you still have to look through the classified ads and such.

Past Regression Therapy Will Free You From The Past

By Steve Porter

Do you ever wonder why you have certain strong dislikes, or why you might have strange aversions to things that other people find totally normal? Do you find yourself having powerful reactions to things that make no sense at all? Perhaps you could benefit from past life regression?

In some philosophies, it would be said that you are reacting naturally to experiences you have had, even if you have had them in a different lifetime! To further understand this phenomenon, past regression therapy can be a tool that is extremely enlightening.

There are many people all over the world who believe that the life you are living now is not your first one nor will it be your last one. Everyone has had at least one past life. There are two schools of thought with reincarnation... one is that we reincarnate until our souls are ready to move on to another level of enlightenment, or that reincarnation is a random occurrence.

Most people who believe in reincarnation do think that sometimes we retain memories or traces of our previous existences and bring them forward into our current life. This is where it is handy to use past regression therapy.

When you go in for past regression therapy, you will be under the supervision of a hypnotist trained in the technique. You will be placed into a mental state that brings your subconscious to the forefront so it is accessible. The hypnotist will ask some questions that will help bring related memories to the surface.

In this format, many people can recall facts and histories that they have never lived through. In some cases, they can recall things that they have done and things that have happened to them.

If you study psychotherapy, you know that everything you have done and experienced affects how you react to this day. Using past regression therapy, you can access similar information that explains why you do what you do, only this information is from another lifetime!

Sometimes past life experiences were traumatic or troubling. They left an indelible mark on the mind that has survived to the present day. At other times, you may simply have a vague echo of what happened.

Many people believe that you are generally reborn into lives with the people who are part of your family, and that these family units repeat over and over again. Both a particularly strong relationship with someone close or one that is very troubled for no visible reason can be explained in this way.

What can you get from looking at past regression therapy? In the first place, it is always interesting and useful to know about the things that make us the people that we are. The more we know about ourselves, the better we get at navigating the world. Similarly, it has also been known to help people who have unexplained phobias or recurring issues in their lives, and it can help them put those issues to bed once and for all!

If past regression therapy piques your interest, there are many hypnotists who can help you explore. You can take a look at many online resources that can help you learn more about it. Take the time to understand reincarnation and what may make it important to you.

What Are The Benefits Of Past Life Hypnosis?

By James McCubbing

If you are an individual that wants to know more about things related to the soul and spirit, you will see that past life hypnosis may be something you want to consider.

Various religions and philosophies in this world believe that the lives that we are living right now are not the only lives that we will have. In fact, there is even a belief that we have all had a past life or lives and we will continue to do so.

Some individuals who have tried past life regression have had visions of the lives that they have lived before, while others believe that they recall entire parts of their past lives.

One belief that many people have is that the memories of these past lives are locked within us, and that they can have a lot to tell us about the people we are and the needs that we have in this life.

There are philosophies that state that we should not be able to recall our previous lives and if you do, it is a sign that there are problems that need to be addressed. Think about how you feel about either of these philosophies.

Do you wonder why you have thoughts that are not yours, or do you ever remember incidents that have never happened to you? This might be your imagination working overtime, nonetheless, there are things that feel rather real and are not easy to dismiss.

This can be where past life hypnosis comes in. Through the help of an accredited past life hypnotist, you will go into a deeply suggestible state where you will be more open to your subconscious and the things that it is trying to tell you.

Things that were half buried can quickly come to life and you will also find that you can recall things more clearly and with a better degree of completion. You might be able to recall the theme of a past life, or even its particulars, depending on how clearly you "remember" certain facts. Some people find that they even recognize people from past lives who are are present in their current lives.

You may ask, why would someone want to go through past life hypnosis? For some individuals, past life hypnosis is a thing of curiosity. They want to know if they are imagining the events that their brain shows them, or if is just their imagination.

For other people, there are lessons that their past lives are trying to remind them. Whether it is to be more compassionate, to live life to the fullest or to respect the people around them, there are lessons that are being hinted at, and the more clearly they can be heard, the better!

If you are curious and want to know more about a past life, or you wanting to discover the lessons that you need reminding of, then make the effort to think about how past life hypnosis can be of help to you!

Chakra Meditation - Chakra Sound Secrets Revealed!

By Nisal Karuiyaratna

In Sanskrit, chakra means a spinning wheel or vortex. There is another meaning to chakra, which indicates the seven chakras of the human body that relate to the seven gland systems of the body. These chakras are centers of spinning energy with the first one on the base of the spine and the seventh one at the crown.

As the chakra is a center of spinning energy and something that moves, it causes vibrations. These vibrations cause sound and this is the reason why there is vibration in different parts of the body through chakra sounds of varying frequencies.

There are not only seven independent chakra sounds for the seven chakras but also seven colors associated with the different chakras. These colors also vibrate at different frequencies where both the chakra sound and color helps in the restoration of balance in the chakras. This in turn helps in the restoring of health.

Sound healing using chakra sounds is easy to do; all that is needed is you and your voice to make you feel clearer, better and calmer within minutes. All chakra sounds should be soft and gentle, for no longer than five minutes each.

1. The first chakra sound is UH, the deepest sound possible. This chakra sound has to be done with eyes closed and with attention on the spine base chakra, the base chakra. When chanting the chakra sound, you have to be aware of the sound resonance found in the chakra location and not from the throat. This chakra sound is associated with the color red and has to be chanted for one or two minutes, and not longer than five minutes.

2. The next chakra sound has to come from the second chakra found three inches below the naval. You have to chant OOO while complimenting the chakra sound with orange. You have to chant with eyes closed to experience the balancing of the chakra with other chakras for one or two minutes.

3. OH is the third chakra sound that has to come from the navel chakra located in the navel area. Yellow is the complimenting color and the chakra sound should start softly and gently, but with a higher tone than the last sound.

4. The heart chakra is found in the middle of the chest, and its chakra sound is AH. This is the sound that is emitted when in love, and this is why the heart chakra is usually related to love. This chakra sound can be complimented with the color green and should be started with a gentle and soft sound, that is however of a higher pitch than the last chakra sound.

5. The chakra sound for the throat chakra is EYE which has blue as its complimenting color. Like other chakra sounds, this chakra sound too has to be of a higher pitch than previous sounds

6. The chakra sound for the third eye found in the forehead between and slightly higher than the two eyes is AYE. The color that goes with this chakra sound is indigo. The chakra sound has to start with a soft and gentle tone, but with a higher pitch than the last sounds.

7. The crown chakra, found at the top of the head, demands the highest sound you can make. This chakra sound is EEE and is complemented with purple and starts by making the highest EEE sound possible. Like other chakra sounds, this chakra sound also starts soft and gentle.

All the chakra sounds have to be said with eyes closed and attention focused on the respective chakras. With the focus on the chakra, the chakra sound starts projecting from the chakra and with the resonance of the sound chakras, you find each chakra balancing and aligning with the other chakras.

You will feel light headed after this exercise with chakra sounds. This is why it is better to meditate or relax after this session. This way you will be able to reap the actual benefits chakra sounds offer you.

Secrets Of Happiness And Law Of Attraction

By Simon Ward

Happiness and law of attraction are strongly connected. If you haven't ever heard of the law of attraction, then that's okay, because it is very easy to understand. It's actually very similar to the concept of positive thinking. It revolves around you possessing positive thoughts in order to attract wealth and happiness into your life.

The Law of Attraction isn't new and in fact has been around for a long, long time because it really works. Happy thoughts and the positive effects of the Law of Attraction are interconnected to each other. Think of this for a minute; do you know someone who seems to have everything, is laid back and always happy? These types of people allow things to come into their lives that make them happy and wealthy, and they don't block possibilities for these things with negative energy or thoughts.

Your thoughts are comprised of energy, which, by the way, is also what you're made of. Your positive thoughts mean that you, too, are comprised of positive energy. When you are full of positive energy it is easy for abundance to come into your life.

Happy thoughts and law of attraction are what it is all about. The way the whole process can work to your advantage is by reassuring yourself that you are great, wonderful, beautiful, confident, wealthy, etc. Do this all day long, even when you do not feel like it. People often use positive affirmations to help them with life's everyday issues.

So for example, you might say, 'I am confident and beautiful,' 'I love people and they love me,' 'My choices are unlimited, and opportunities abound everywhere,' and so on. Choose a few affirmations that encapsulate what you want to be, and say them throughout the day, every day.

You should especially use the affirmation and law of attraction tactics when you don't feel like it. Make it a point to say something positive each and every time you become frustrated, discouraged, angry, and sad. You need to flush out all of your previous negative beliefs and ways of thinking if you want to live a fulfilling life.

In fact, your mind is your only to limitation to having the life you want. Do you think you can't live a life that's happy and abundant? Why not? Other people have certainly done it. Dwelling on the negative is only going to get you more negative, so don't do that.

The key is to go with the flow. At any given moment, you must be completely convinced that there is positive energy flowing into your life in some way or another.

Once you begin to see that the Law of Attraction and happiness are interconnected, you'll see that things will begin to right themselves in your life.

If you're feeling sad or depressed, that negativity will drive happiness away from you. And, if you dwell on it, you may end up wallowing in it by watching a depressing movie, hanging out with negative friends, and so on. If you stay in this state long enough, you're going to build your life around negative circumstances without even realizing you're doing so.

However, it works the other way, too. Your life can become more positive and happy if you use positive affirmations and focus on the Law of Attraction's positive benefits. Above all, don't give up. Continue to see yourself as someone who is happy and fulfilled, and you'll see your life begin to change for the better -- in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if good things suddenly begin to pour in!

Working With Your Unconscious Mind

By Darren Miller

Research has shown that we only use an average of 10% of the full capacity of our mind power. This means the remaining 90% of your full potential remains untapped. Can you even imagine what you'd be capable of if you could access even a small portion of that remaining potential?

What is meant by power of mind? For a long time, scientists have known that there are people who can access these different parts of the unconscious mind and have a variety of abilities, perceptions and strengths. These abilities can include extrasensory and psychic abilities as well.

However, just because these people have displayed these abilities doesn't mean that they're special or different from everybody else. In fact, everyone can access their unconscious minds and develop their own gifts and powers, similarly.

Unfortunately, the majority of people possess these skills in a latent form. They remain locked in the unused ninety percent, but they are present behind those barriers.

How do you unlock your full potential, then? You need to free those latent skills and abilities, and you need to tap into that unused 90% of your unconscious. In fact, you may just find you can manifest what you desire most in life, and you could also unleash powers like remote viewing, telepathy, precognition, telekinesis, levitation and other 'super sensory' skills most people don't tap into.

How do you access your unconscious mind so that you can begin to explore and unleash these and other abilities?

Affirmations are one great way to do this. Affirmations simply tap into your unconscious mind, which is so very, very powerful. Every choice you make, everything you do, comes from a thought that originally manifested in your unconscious mind. It is processed and then moved into your conscious mind, where you can then act on the information in question.

Affirmations work because you can repeat these positive messages or phrases to yourself several times a day, and as you do this, your unconscious mind eventually picks up on what's being said and makes it useful to that unconscious part of your mind that's usually not part of your conscious attention. Your unconscious mind and the affirmation itself work together to make your conscious thoughts and your thought process in general more positive, more in tune with what you want, and more focused as well.

So for a moment, let's take a look at what you say to yourself. Do you say, for example, 'I can't afford it,' or 'I'll always be fat,' or, 'I don't deserve to be happy'? You can take what you say to yourself and change it to something positive so that ultimately, your unconscious mind will pick up on it and begin to make it happen in a positive way.

Visualization: Many people mistake visualization for simple day dreaming. There is a significant difference between the two and the biggest difference has to do with what you tell your unconscious mind you really want as opposed to what you already know is just a daydream.

Practice picturing yourself with the things you want in your life. You could change your entire life, your relationships, your level of abundance simply by visualizing yourself already enjoying the things you want to manifest. Once again your unconscious mind will take up the image and strive to create steps to make them happen for you.

Hypnosis: Hypnosis is perhaps the easiest way to access your unconscious mind. People all over the world have reported very positive results from using hypnosis for losing weight, quitting smoking, increasing self-esteem, attracting success or anything else you want.

You can do self-hypnosis as an easy way to develop your own mind powers, as you have time. Listen to recordings by trained hypnotherapists that will reinforce those affirmations you've worked to transfer to your unconscious mind.

Clairvoyants And Their Paranormal Gifts

By David Thorne

People who believe in and embrace the paranormal are often fascinated by clairvoyants. These are people who see and feel things other people do not-such as flashes of visions or sensations. They are a fascinating phenomena.

Confused? Think of it like this, most of us, only have knowledge or our present circumstances. Clairvoyants however, have the ability to see events occurring in the future and though the ability is rarer, some clairvoyants have the ability to see into the past. The term is also used to describe individuals who can see present day events that are happening at a distance and can known information about a place or object without being told.

Many clairvoyants are able to see these events in their dreams and can often use this information to help people make important life decisions. Giving people aid with deciding who to marry, finding out how many children they will have and even solving crimes for the police.

Most natural clairvoyants discover their gifts early in life. They may instinctively seem to "know" things-like who is at the door or when someone is about to call. Others discover their gifts later on. And still others, intrigued by the phenomena, seek to develop clairvoyant abilities consciously.

Friends and family are often astonished at their ability to predict events that while happen within their circle and provide warnings before catastrophe happens. In fact, in earlier times natural clairvoyants were the subject of hatred, misunderstanding and jealousy. As times have changed and people have realized that the power of clairvoyants could be useful to society, the gift has been embraced and many "regular" people have sought to develop their own clairvoyant powers.

Naturally, this makes you wonder if you can become a clairvoyant even if you've never had a clairvoyant experience before. Surprisingly, yes! While natural clairvoyants seem to stumble into their gift, most people have some clairvoyant powers they just haven't discovered yet. But there are things you can do to help become more enlightened.

You can start with meditation. To meditate, you consciously clear your mind of specific thoughts and open yourself up to receiving. Your mind can wander about naturally and experience new things. You may see shapes and colors or hear sounds or experience thoughts you never have before. You can simply experience what comes. But stay attuned to it, as well, because you may get a glimpse into something from the future. Likewise, after you meditate, you may experience similar glimpses in your dreams. Since developing clairvoyant gifts is considered a natural process in tune with our surroundings, many clairvoyants enjoy meditating outdoors. This may help you, as well.

Analyzing your dreams and meditating are two ways to unlock latent clairvoyant gifts. Another ancient means of doing so is called scrying. Basically this involves staring at a reflective or clear surface-perhaps a crystal ball, a mirror, or a dish of water-to try to see into the future. It is generally practiced in a dark room with minimal illumination-such as candlelight-and involves focusing on your own facial reflection and allowing your mind to wonder freely. You may see visions as you ponder questions that have been bothering you and your subconscious seeks to resolve these issues.

Palm reading is another technique that will work to develop paranormal abilities. A palm reading book and examining your own hand are enough to get started. Clairvoyants often use the palm to reveal events that have already happened in someone's life. Use the dominant hand and focus on the four major lines: the heart line, the head line, the life line and the fate line. Understanding these lines will reveal much about your character and can sometimes often glimpses into how your future will unwind.

Reading of tarot cards is another paranormal type ability clairvoyants may utilize. If you want to see whether you are gifted in this area, you can purchase a pack of tarot cards and study the meanings of the various cards yourself. Give your friends a few free readings to see if you are skilled in this process and have the ability to interpret the messages of the cards.

Before experimenting with any of these techniques, you may wish to cleanse your aura. Using a crystal, you can free your mind from negative energy and open yourself up to what you will experience. Some believe the only reason we cannot see what clairvoyants can see is because we allow ourselves to be blocked with doubt and negativity.

View Anything You Want By Understanding Remote Viewing Secrets

By Jilly McCann

Whether you realize it or not, everyone including you has a unique ability for remote viewing. Many individuals already know how to use this ability, while others do not. There are some unique remote viewing secrets that can aid you in developing your various abilities in this lifetime.

When you know how to use your natural remote viewing abilities you should learn how to use a little time each day for meditation. You can make the best of your abilities during meditation. You will need to find a quite space in your home where you can relax, breathe and focus.

To help you in becoming a remote viewer, if possible, have another person sit in an opposite room. If not, call a very close friend or relate who you know very well and tell them to make a few hand gestures over the next half hour or so. Tell them to continue to make the same one every couple of minutes.

The remote viewing secrets I am sharing with you are very valuable and a true test of your already-existing skill because what you will be doing is focusing on that particular person to guess what gestures they made during the time you were meditating on them. The closer you are to this person, the easier it will be.

While you meditate you will relax and tap into your subconscious mind. You will need to relax and let go. When you experience any unwanted thoughts, simply acknowledge them and then let them go. You can release them with your tension. You may wish to include the sounds of soft music such as soft classical music, acoustic guitar or even the sounds of nature. Anything that helps you get into the mood of meditation.

Continue to breathe and relax, and think about what gestures your friend or family member is making. All you have to do is focus, and trust that it will come to you. Picture what they look like and their possible surroundings. Call them once you are finished and tell them what gestures they made.

The most important part of these remote viewing secrets is that you get rid of all distraction. Unplug the phone, turn off the television, and put away all other visual and noisy distractions. You will be doing this with your eyes closed, but you also need to have a feeling of inner peace without turmoil.

It can be very distracting trying to meditate in a messy home. Clear away all the clutter from the area where you meditate, make it a clean and organized area. Use calm and soothing colors for decorating purposes and then light some incense and or candles to help you relax. You need to be able to relax and enjoy your mediation experience.

Some individuals think they simply have to stop and then begin meditation, however this is not so. When you are new to this, you need to get into the habit of tapping into your subconscious mind. Starting out is always the hardest part. However, when you want to develop your natural powers you should use these remote viewing secrets while giving it your best shot.

Once you get used to putting these remote viewing secrets and techniques to use, you may not have to try as hard anymore because everything will come naturally. You will have already done everything you needed in order to open the door to your subconscious and make it a part of your everyday life.

Heal Yourself With Past Therapy

By Charles Merry

Whether you are someone who is occasionally troubled by memories that do not seem to be your own, or you find that you are simply curious about knowing more about how you work as a person, you will find that past therapy is something that you need to look into.

The theory of past lives is that we have lived complete lives before we have lived this one. There are many religions and philosophies that back this up, and that will expand it further.

There are some people who think the lives we have in the past lived have nothing to do with our present lives and are completely unrelated. While many other people feel they are definitely linked. Then there are those who feel we can learn lessons from both our past lives and our present life. With past life regression therapy we will seek to make these lessons clearer.

If you are looking into past life regression therapy, then you should search out a hypnotist to help you. Hypnotist are available who can help you. You can be put into a deep hypnotic state, where you will be able to learn about the time and life you once lived in.

The hypnotist will help you travel into your subconscious. There are some specialist who feel our subconscious never forgets anything that has happened to us in our past lives. You can travel through your past life experiences. Take the time to consider what it is that you want, how you will use this information and study your options. How will you be able to use this information, of your past experiences, to help you in the present.

A question may arise regarding the benefits of past life therapy and how it can help you. Firstly, past life therapy can help you to become more mentally peaceful within yourself. The one issue most common is guilt. And dealing with this guilt.

People may feel very angry because of things they have done wrong, or perceived to be wrong, in their past lives. A guilt or grief which has never been resolved. They may feel because these have not been resolved, they may have carried them to their present life.

Have you ever felt strange things that had no bearing on your life, and that you should not feel? A past life hypnotist might be able to tell you why that was.

Another thing that past life therapy can reveal to you is why you might react in certain ways. A fear of water, despite no contact with water, might have resulted from a death due to drowning in another life. A strong positive reaction to a specific person or to people who look a certain way might be something that is carried over from a very positive reaction that you had regarding someone specific in a past life.

While these patterns are strange, it can be helpful to understand why the happen and what the root might be. It can make decision making easier in the future and it can help you move forward in your own life with your present goals.

Take some time and consider what your options are going to be and make sure that you explore what past life therapy has to offer; it can be a key to a past you never knew you had!

Mental Health and Wellness - Things are NOT memories

By Lenore Miller

Things are not memories nor are they the people who owned them, gave them too you, or left them behind. If you have read my blog or you know me, you will also know that my eldest son Ryan died in 2007. We are coming up to the 2 year anniversary (28th August, 2009). As you can imagine, working through such a life changing event, it's really important to take care of your mental health and wellness.

So why am I in a position to be an authority on this subject? If you have read some of my blog posts or know of me, you will also know that my eldest son Ryan died in 2007. We are coming up to the 2 year anniversary (28th August, 2009). Have you ever lost someone you loved? I bet most of you have, if it was someone really close to you, you may have been faced with the task of sorting through their possessions - clothes, books, personal items, mementos, sporting trophies.......all kinds of things. We all have a different strategy for dealing with this situation, some dive in and get it sorted straight away either due to necessity (the house needs to be sold or handed back to the landlord) or because you just want to 'get it done' others like to preserve the room as it was and spend time sitting in there remembering, others just can't face it at all. There are lots of scenarios and combinations of reasons and ideas around this. You just need to do what feels right for you. Above all it's one the times in your life when you truly need to take care of your personal mental health and wellbeing and that of your family.

In the months after Ryan's death the sight of his room and his things certainly bought me to tears, it was hard to believe one of my gorgeous boys no longer walked this earth, no longer here for me to hug and tell him I love him 'lots and lots and more and more and lots and lots' (a tradition from when the boys were little and asked 'how much to do you love me Mummy?'); he was no longer here slamming doors (he was noisy as he went about his business) and lighting up rooms, bringing smiles to people's faces and laughing with that wonderful contagious laugh. He chatted incessantly, till I would ask him for the edited version of a story and he was passionate about the things that were important to him. He thought his younger brother Bryce was fabulous, they were best mates. He loved a family or social occasion; he was an all round nice guy - loved by all who had the pleasure of spending time with him.

At that time I was experiencing all kinds of emotions, sometimes I was sad beyond words, others I was angry or felt guilty (after all I was a Mum I should have been able to make this right) I had times of total disbelief and others of inconsolable grief and despair. All part of the process of dealing with the unthinkable. I was so lucky to have a good grounding in mental health and wellness, given my past training plus a wonderful support network, yet some days were just plan hard. Over time I had the odd better moment, then maybe a day when I didn't cry, eventually I had more good days than sad days, and finally life took on a new normal. I had chosen to live my life. In fact my son had set a fabulous example he had lived a life of joy and enthusiasm.

In fact my son had set a fabulous example he had lived a life of joy and enthusiasm.

A few months after Ryan's death I had decided to sort through his clothes, however others who were very close to Ryan were not ready for that and I packed them back into the wardrobe again. Time went by and for a long while it just felt too hard. However in recent months the room started to feel 'heavy' for me and I knew I needed to make a move. Funny how not doing it was preserving my mental health and wellness at one point and then later not doing it was having a different impact! I floated the idea with Bryce (my younger son) who offered to help and we spent a day together in Ryan's room sorting through everything, school books, photos, clothes, soccer and cricket trophies, paperwork, things from his 3 months traveling the world. We created piles of things we thought would be special to others, kept some things we just couldn't throw or give away yet and everything else was bundled up and taken to the local charity shop - I was feeling so much lighter. Thank goodness Bryce is not a hoarder either! We moved the future into the shed, including the desk my parents gave me on my 8th birthday (it was way past time to let that one go) and it is all being collected by a charity for re -gifting or resale.

So why am I telling you all of this - because it struck me that we often 'hang on' to things in our life as a representation of a memory or person. We won't part with things we no longer have use for because Great Aunt Dorothy gave that to us, or it belonged to a grandparent or parent. We equate the thing with a memory, the person or feeling, however things are NOT the memory they may provoke the memory when we hold or look at them. If we let go of all the things we no longer have a use for we do not let go of the memory, that memory stays with us forever and can be recalled whenever we like. I believe this also has a very positive impact on our individual mental health and wellness and of course the flow on effect to those around us.

The room now feels lighter, there is a different bed in there with a different quilt, and it is uncluttered and has a whole new feel. I am planning to put something new on the wall and maybe even paint it a fresh new colour. Ryan's room is now a spare room or guest room in our home.

So why am I telling you all of this - because it struck me that we often 'hang on' to things in our life as a representation of a memory or person. We won't part with things we no longer have use for because Great Aunt Dorothy gave that too us, or it belonged to a grandparent or parent. We equate the thing with a memory, the person or feeling, however things are NOT the memory they may provoke the memory when we hold or look at them. If we let go off all the things we no longer have a use for we do not let go of the memory, that memory stays with us forever and can be recalled whenever we like. So let's be real about this, if I kept everything that Ryan ever owned how would that help me? A room of clutter that was not useful to anyone and held me and my family stuck in the sadness of our loss. In letting go of the 'things' I feel lighter and freer and have gifted everything that was useful to others and kept the things Bryce or I were not yet ready to let go of, I have no doubt over time that collection will also diminish. I have wonderful memories of my gorgeous boys; both of them, of the joy of being their Mum and watching them grow into wonderful young men, making their way in the world having some interesting learning experience, what a gift. As a Mum I don't need anything to remember every moment of my time with them.

So what are you holding onto in your life that could be used by someone else, what baggage are you holding onto either physically or emotionally. I believe part of living an outrageously healthy life is finding appropriate ways to deal with life's challenges. Let's face it not every moment of our lives is filled with sweetness and light, it's a life of contrast. We have a fabulous opportunity while on this earth to share of ourselves with the world in all our magnificence. So this is my gift to you today 'Things are not memories nor are they the people who owned them, gave them too you, or left them behind!' Give yourself the gift of letting go of any baggage either physical or emotional, allow yourself to experience the joys of mental health and wellness everyday, and live your best, most outrageously healthy life.

Astral Projection Techniques Explored

By David Simmeon

There are numerous astral projection techniques that individuals can use to assist them with astral project. Due to the fact of people being individuals, what is successful for one may not be for another. Several people have trouble with some of the methods though, and not due to the method, it is because they can't relax.

Complete and total relaxation is essential to making any astral projection techniques successful. Part of the reason for the inability to relax is fear. This is very common with those that are just starting to relearn how to astral project. This fear comes from false beliefs that a person could die or be harmed because of the astral projection. In an effort to help squash those fears the Canterbury Institute, who is known for their occult studies, conducted a research study.

The study was performed on two thousand individuals, all of these people were involved in doing astral projection. The institute discovered was that no person was harmed following astral projection techniques. What is more interesting is that they did follow up on the people for the last 3 years. Not one have had any problems.

Now that any concerns or fears should be gone, let's examine several different types of astral projection techniques, which are quite simple and have worked for several people. The 1st one is called the Monroe Technique. There are 7 primary steps to this particular astral projection technique.

* You must relax your body and your mind. There are numerous relaxation techniques that you can use. A simple one is just deep breathing, slowly and calmly. Deep inhales and deep exhales. Relaxing all the muscles in the body one at a time by tensing them and then releasing them, starting at the toes and working your way up the body.

* Go into what is called the hynagogic state. This is where your body and mind are almost asleep. You don't desire to go to sleep. Use the gazing method to accomplish this. As you lie in bed focus on an object and remain staring until when your eyes close that you still can picture the object.

* Once you see the object with your eyes closed you are going to need to deepen the state you are in. The best way to do this is to look around (keeping your eyes closed) and see what you can see. It is possible that you may see different light patterns, you may notice that the room is cloaked in a purple light. Don't pay to much attention to it, once you stop seeing the light you will know that you have entered a deeper state. You are so completely relaxed at this point that you will no longer be aware of your physical body. This is important according to the Monroe technique of astral projection.

* According to Monroe, this step is the most vital. You will need to enter the state of Vibration. Many people that have been practicing astral projection techniques for awhile note that they feel these vibrations early on in the projection. It is believed by them that this is the feeling you experience when the astral body begins to leave the physical body. Do not be alarmed, just feel the vibrations.

* Control the vibration state. To accomplish this concentrate on the vibrations and succeed in getting them to move through the body. You do this using your mind, your desire is for your whole body to have the vibrations, like waves rolling over you. It will take practice for you to encourage these waves to start as you want. Once you can do this step you are ready to exit your body.

* The key component to astral projection and astral travel is to have control, that your mind is the one in power. To help strengthen this control Monroe recommends at this point you practice a "partial separation." Keeping your mind focused on the idea of leaving the physical body, first let a hand or a foot go of the astral body. Stretch them to an object that is near you, such as the wall, the floor or another familiar object, then push your hand or foot through that object. Once you do that, return your foot or hand back to the physical body, slow down the vibrations and end the session. Stay laying down until your body has returned to a fully awake state.

* With this step you will finally leave your body. Follow steps one through six. This time your whole body will be used, not just a foot. Move completely into your astral body. A simple adjustment to step six is required. This time you are focusing on releasing the astral body instead of one appendage. Focus on releasing the astral body Thinking how light it feels. As weightless as a cloud, you can float like a feather in a light breeze. Now the astral body should move out and away from the physical body, you feel as though you are floating, or even flying.

There are more ways you can attempt this, as in the Gazing Method, the Anchor Technique, and the Rope Technique. Try out some different methods to discover which one will be best for you. An astral projection technique exists for everyone.

You will see though that not all people are able to do astral project right off the bat using the techniques listed and a lot of practice is required for some of these.

However, a shortcut is available. Because of recent developments in the field of technology, there are many audio tools which can help you. New special sound frequencies known as Binaural beats, can synchronize the brains two hemispheres allowing an instant state of meditation, when needed for astral projection.

You can also get into the totally relaxed state needed by listening to quality astral projection techniques hypnosis recordings. These reinforce to the subconscious mind that it is okay for your astral body to leave your physical body.

Astral projection is a real life changing happening for everyone that attempts it and by utilizing these techniques anyone who wants to can experience it.

Astral Projection - The Silver Cord To Another World

By Benjamin Parry

Astral projection is something that you already have some awareness of. No doubt you've heard the phrase used in conversation, in a movie or TV program or seen it in a book or magazine. What you might not know is that you can astral project; anyone can, in fact. Youve already done so, though you might not remember it.

In order to determine if you have had an astral projection experience or to begin learning to astral project it is important to understand what astral projection is. Simply put astral projection is when your spirit body leaves your physical body. This is something that happens naturally at night when you are asleep, but it is possible for you to do it consciously and control the journey of your spirit body.

Many children actually astral project without being aware of what they are doing. It happens usually when the body is relaxed or even when they are asleep. Time and distance do not mean anything when talking about astral projection. The astral body can travel without these considerations.

For those that may not be aware of the various bodies other than the physical. Astral projection is done with the astral body. It is often referred to as the ethereal body because of both its duplication of the physical body and its lack of substance. It is in essence an invisible body. The in turn leads to the question of how is the astral body attached to the physical body. The answer is it is attached with what is often referred to as the silver cord.

This cord keeps your two beings connected from the moment you're born until your last breath. As long as you live, your astral body will always come back to your physical form after its travels.

Are you trying to figure out where you go to when you do this astral projection? Well the astral body travels to what is called the astral plane, which turns out is the invisible duplicate of the Earth. This astral plane rapidly vibrates more than the physical Earth does and these particular vibrations go all the way to the Earth's core. There is another belief though that another dimension or alternate reality is the meaning of astral plane. One thing most agree about on this subject though is the fact that the astral plane is composed of several layers.

After learning this information, it is only natural to start to wonder if there are any dangers to astral project. The answer is not as simple as a straightforward yes or no. While astral projection is something that everyone is capable of doing and that the astral body is attached to the physical body by a tie that can only be broken by death there is still a need to remain conscience of what is going on while astral projecting and be in a state to maintain that frame of mind.

Let me caution you here, if your mind is in a dark place or not right then it becomes dangerous to astral project. If you are taking drugs or drinking alcohol it is not wise to astral project because you could wind up in some bad places. The lower levels of the astral plane contain the places that are bad.

It is vital that you understand where you desire going and exactly what you are participating in. You need to strive on doing astral projection using your conscious mind. Stay in total control as far as what task that the astral body is performing. Your thoughts and thinking processes are what keeps you in this kind of control.

There are a number of ways to get prepared to do astral projection prior to starting it. Several professionals can be found to assist you in learning various techniques so that you get to the point where you have better control so that you have a gratifying experience, but on this note people usually rather be in their own house while doing astral projection.

The internet has a wealth of information on astral projection and there are a number of books, which describe a number of techniques that can be used in order to prepare the mind and body for astral projection. There are even recordings that use hypnosis to assist in astral projection. There is an advantage to these types of recordings. You can have them play on repeat giving people who may find it difficult to prepare the time necessary to reach the appropriate state of mind; this extra time might not be available if professional sessions are used.

In the field of sound technology there have been many improvements in the area of binaural beats. With this you listen to different sounds in each of your ears. This quickly gets you into the meditative state that is crucial for you to reach to do astral projection with the right results.

If you are unable to astral project at first, do not be concerned. It is something that requires practice to be able to do. It is important to remember that this is not actually an acquired skill but something that is already known to each person. They simply need to remember how to astral project and then to practice in order to obtain a level of proficiency.

If you are still unsure, that astral projection is something that is known to everyone consider these things. Have you ever felt like you were falling, even though you were standing or laying still, how about dreaming about flying. Often times this is the result of astral projection. The falling feeling usually comes when the two bodies rejoin each other and the sensation of flight comes from actually moving through the astral plane. It is a real ability that everyone has, everyone can use and all it needs is a bit of fine-tuning in order to be able to do it at will.

Five Foundations Of A Christian Worldview

By Walter Lindgren

Faithful Christians typically share five traditions that generate a worldview that shapes the nature of their beliefs. This worldview may also contain characteristics that other people perceive as factors which, in fact, define a person as a Christian. The following is not intended to be a creed or the final word on the matter, but a reliable guide on Christian beliefs.

The first aspect of such a worldview is belief in one God, monotheism, and an over-riding love of the deity who is specifically responsible for all creation. With this as the foundation of a Christian worldview, for example, an individual's opinion of concepts that do not acknowledge God or that do not recognize the source of creation will lead to a lack of acceptance for those ideas.

The following factor in a Christian worldview is acceptance of Jesus as the son of God and the only salvation for humans, in the sense that Jesus is the means to everlasting life in heaven. In order to be a "Christian," the meaning of the term requires literal faith in Jesus as a personal savior. This affects a man or woman's worldview in multiple ways, primarily in the contexts of knowing that others who believe in Jesus are also saved, that those who refuse this belief are not part of the church community, and that there may be a need for instructing others about the Christian faith.

The third element of outlining a worldview for the Christian faith is a belief in the Holy Ghost (or Spirit) as the working presence of God's power, especially as demonstrated in the acts of the apostles. This leads to the need for good works, or positive actions, through the church and within the community. A Christian approach to living will develop active expressions of one's faith to affect other individuals.

The fourth component of such a worldview would be the notion of Christians as people of the book, biblios, the Bible. The Bible functions as a source of inspiration and specifically describes the point of view that each Christian should use to evaluate the events of their lives. The New Testament shows people how to believe, think, and act in order to be Christians which, in turn, forms one's worldview.

And the fifth element is the teaching that Christians are to show their "love" for other people in every avenue of their lives. From the basis of choosing to love one's neighbors, a Christian worldview accepts that all things will in the end demonstrate God's love for his faithful, that belief in Jesus is the way to everlasting life, and that Christians can express that love through their actions toward others.

An outlook on the world evolving from the aforementioned Christian principles may lead to the personal revelation that God will take care of all things in His time, and that belief in Jesus, faith in the communion of the church, and actions that express love toward others will result in a peaceful and joy-filled life, though not without common sufferings of the spirit and the body. And it is the sure blessing of salvation through Jesus that gives enduring meaning to the Christian worldview.

Can I Really Astral Project?

By David J Short

Everyone has the ability to astral project. There are those who astral project daily and those who rarely astral project, at least intentionally " the difference between the two is practice. Astral projection is a practice with a long history, just like meditation or yoga. There are many different names which astral projection is known as and there are many different ways to astral project.

The initial level of astral projection is lucid dreaming. This type of dreaming is dreaming consciously and is known as the first phase of astral projection. By telling yourself 'I am dreaming', the simplest form of projection can be achieved.

Saying this key phrase 'I am dreaming' over and over again, allows you to wake up in your dream and do anything you desire. This may take time to learn and can be difficult, so don't be discouraged.

It is believed that astral projection is very real and that most people have already projected even though they don't realize it. If you have ever woken up in the middle of the night and recalled a dream as if it was real, this is a form of astral projection.

Believing that you can project is the key to achieving it. This faith eliminates doubts and fears about astral projection and helps you to easily achieve projection.

Methods that help you to relax like meditating helps to promote projection. Meditation prepares the mind and body for astral projection and all it takes is practice and time through meditating properly.

If you are wondering where to begin when it comes to meditation, try sitting in a comfortable chair in a peaceful place. When you are relaxed, clear your mind, if stress or work pops into your head, push it out and focus on nothing. Focus on your breathing and make it deep and slow. Let your troubles leave your mind through your mouth as you breathe out. This will allow you to reach the relaxed state perfect for astral projection.

Reaching an alternate state of consciousness is the next step. Continue to work on breathing and now your primary goal is to remove stress and completely clear your mind. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. As breathing becomes slower and deepens, focus on your body and relaxing it.

Focus on separate areas of the body, beginning with your toes. Tense each part of the body and relax as you work your way up from your toes to your head. As you exhale, tell yourself, 'my arms are relaxing and I am relaxing.'

At this point, you will start to feel heavy almost as if energy is leaving your body. As you get to this point, and you are completely relaxed, you will know that it is time to move on to the next step of astral projection.

The next step, sleep. You have prepared your mind and body for s deep sleep, but remember to stay alert and relaxed. Come up with your own phrase such as 'I fly, I fly' there is no wrong motto, so find one that you are comfortable with.

Boredom tends to set in when the mind is not stimulated, so you may find yourself losing focus. If you find yourself doing this, stop the session or to help bring your mind back into focus, continue to repeat your phrase.

There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.

You can count on experiencing three main feelings that will let you know that you have reached astral projection, the first is the sensation that you are moving. The second is when you see lights and colors with closed eyes and the third, are voices you hear that either encourage you to keep going or to stop, this lets you know that you have achieved astral projection.

Explaining What A Lucid Dream Is

By David Lancaster

In simple terms, if one has a dream and they're actually aware of the fact that they're dreaming, then that is known as a lucid dream. In the context of dreaming, 'lucid' means being aware or conscious. The lucidity of a dream however can vary dramatically depending on the dream itself and how much influence you have in controlling the dream.

Without a doubt, the most remarkable aspect of lucid dreaming is that one is able to actually identify the fact that you're having a dream. Having the ability to control the direction of a dream is simply astounding to say the least, particularly because there are virtually no limits.

Can you even begin to imagine what it must be like, considering that everything which happens in a lucid dream looks, sounds, and even feels just as you would expect it to in reality. Of course the difference between a lucid dream and reality is that in a lucid dream one cannot die or become injured, irrespective of what you decide to get up to. To a great extent, by mastering the art of lucid dreaming, you're taking control of your own private world of virtual reality.

It simply cannot be denied that lucid dreaming is a skill which can only be described as being fantastic. It's hardly surprising really that so many people are now longing to master the art of lucid dreaming. Interestingly enough, most people will have the occasional lucid dream but just imagine if you could experience one whenever you want.

A lucid dream can in many ways be compared to a gateway to the most fantastic experiences, where one is able to meet and mix with your favorite celebrities, or mingle with wild and exotic animals, or even travel to distant galaxies.That's right, you can explore all your fantasy world's or you can visit your lost loved ones.

Unfortunately, experiencing regular lucid dreams where you have the ability to control them has until recently been a fairly complicated process. In fact, many people had no option but to spend months undergoing instruction and learning how to condition themselves. Even then, while many people did manage to experience lucid dreams, even if only for brief moments, others never succeeded at all.

Can one find simple ways which make it possible to experience a lucid dream?

Interestingly enough, there are many people who believe certain foods such as orange juice, cheese, milk, and mustard, have the ability to help induce a lucid dream, providing they are consumed immediately before you lie down to sleep.

Over and above those foods which have just been mentioned, many people claim that foods such as popcorn, pickles, fish and ice cream can also help those wanting to experience a lucid dream. While these foods may not be as effective as those mentioned above, it is believed they do help with regards to dream recall. Of course, from a health point of view these foods may not be ideal, considering that most of them contain a lot of fat, sugar, and salt.

Can technology help people to experience lucid dreaming?

In the not too distant past this would have been virtually impossible, although modern technology is now able to assist one with regards to lucidity. Interestingly enough, there are now certain devices which have the ability to recognize REM (rapid eye movement) and when they do, they respond with a blinking red diode in order to stimulate and induce a lucid dream. By integrating the red beam of light with the dream, a person is reminded of the fact that they're having a dream and as such, they can then try to control it.

In addition to these new the innovative devices, recent developments in some technology have also done much in the line of opening the doors to the world of lucid dreams. Just recently scientists have gone ahead and developed a process known as binaural beats; a process which involves playing sound at different frequencies into each ear.

Essentially, this intriguing new process aims to synchronize the two hemispheres in the brain and the amazing thing is; results are almost instantaneous in that rapid eye movement occurs almost immediately when one starts listening to these binaural beats. The state of sleep where REM takes place is of course the state of sleep required for lucid dreaming.

Of course, what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another, but you can be rest assured that if you're interested in learning how to master the art of lucid dreaming, then this is by far the most reliable method available.

Healing Yourself With Past Life Regression Therapy

By David Cootes

When it comes to improving your life and working on yourself as an individual, life regression therapy is actually something that more and more people are starting to use. Past life regression therapy is not some new age technique that's designed to help you revert back to your old ways, but exactly the opposite.

Past life regression therapy is discovering a new way of looking at who you are by remembering who you were in a past life, and discovering how to use this knowledge to help yourself. You can do this through a variety of meditations, and the benefits of using past life regression therapy are without number.

Keeping a Past Life Regression Therapy Journal

One of the first methods you can use for life regression therapy is advanced journaling techniques. This involves much more than keeping a constant diary of what activities took place today or yesterday. On the contrary, the first step you should take when using journaling is the ability to be open and honest with yourself.

Begin your past life regression therapy journal by making a list of the events of the day and your thoughts and emotions that those events inspired. How did you resolve the issues that were raised by those events? But in order for this journal to work for you, you have to be open and honest with yourself about your true thoughts and emotions, as these are the clues that will help you discover your past life.

In addition, recording emotions and thoughts about your daily activities will also help you to decipher patterns about yourself. You can use these visible patterns to change your personality and attributes about yourself that you don't like.

Past Life Regression Therapy Meditations

This is one of the most difficult techniques that you'll probably be exposed to in life regression therapy. It involves a lot of discipline, the ability to trust yourself, and the ability to calm your inner feelings.

Many people begin meditation by using a music CD or DVD that has certain imagery, music, or sound recordings that help them get into a calm state of mind. Meditating correctly can take patience, strength of will and concentration, but once you learn how, you will find meditation becomes easy and restful.

When you are in a meditative state you will find yourself able to let your mind wander to what is truly important in your life, to relationships with family and friends and even work. When you are finished with your meditation, take a moment to write your thoughts, feelings, and discoveries in a journal.

Benefits of Past Life Regression Therapy

There are numerous benefits to getting involved with and starting life regression therapy. Looking back on your past and even your current self, you'll be able to understand yourself much better than before. It can help uncover hidden thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you didn't think you had. Your subconscious will be free and you'll be able to think more clearly than you had before.

In addition, life regression therapy can also help individuals resolve issues of importance in their life. Consider a relationship with a parent or sibling that needs healed- using this process can unlock the secrets of the steps you need to take in order to make better decisions about what needs to be done.

All in all, a greater understanding of yourself and your ability to change is what you'll achieve through life regression therapy. By examining yourself through the years and making observations about your inner self, your attitudes, thoughts, and personality will improve for the better.

Clocks, Dolls, and Other Spy Cameras

By David Artstone

Slate and Artstone - That innocent looking wall clock staring at you from the wall might be more menacing than you think. Is it staring...or is it watching? And who is it telling?

Cameras are being placed everywhere, and nobody is telling us about them. They are being hidden in vases, teddy bears, televisions, and even innocuous wall clocks. Corporations are hiding them to protect their treasures, or to monitor our shopping habits. Governments are tracking our movements, and now, even private individuals are starting to watch us.

That's right; the power of surveillance is now in the hands of the average person on the street. With the prevalence of mini spy cams now being offered at very affordable prices, the ability to secretly watch us is now available to anyone with a couple of extra dollars to spend. And where are these responsible citizens placing their new spy toys?

Some people have innocent enough desires. The most common use of a spy cam is to monitor babysitters and housekeepers while you are at work. It is a basic enough desire. In a world short on trust, it is difficult to hand over your most prized possessions and even your children to random strangers claiming to be nannies.

But many clever people are thinking outside of the box, and are using these spy cameras to take explicit images of people in very private places.

Aside from merely monitoring the short skirts in the neighborhood on a windy day, some people are sneaking into bathrooms and dressing rooms and installing these mini devices in order to take explicit, and highly illegal photographs of those trusting enough to expose themselves.

So what is the answer? Tentative vigilance or outright paranoia? Whenever you are outside of the security of your home, be aware that you may be on camera. However, it may not really matter. If we are all on camera all of the time, then there is a certain equality in that.

Eventually we may discover some technology that will reveal hidden cameras and other transmission devices. Unfortunately, until that time, the wall clock sitting above the mantel may not be as unassuming as you think.
