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?

The Spirits And Entities In The Spirit World

By Shawn Pen

From the very beginning, the darkness (Ego) existed along with the virtuous light. Each person who is living today on this earth, lived as a spirit before going into the human cycle. Two sides evolved in the spirit world-the light on the right and the darkness on the left of the Divine Source.

Each spirit issued out of the mouth of the Divine Source-each person was granted a destiny; each person is allowed choice-that choice is interconnected with their destiny. Karmic laws bind each person according to individual personal behavior. Long time before humans were created, the spirit world was created first. Each person experienced their beginning, which their beginning is a formless spirit.

The Eloheem or the Divine-Craftsmen were not only of the spirits of the light, but, also the entities of the darkness. Hence, the first two chapters in Genesis-the term Eloheem are applied, even though they translate the word in a singular form. The darkness existed as an energy, from the beginning within this dimension, however, the light of love proved predominant before the demotion of Baal the accuser, the master of the darkness. Certain spirits, mostly of the first spirits that were created, were granted creative powers, along with the high-ranking lower entities. The Almighty Divine Creator granted the spirits with creative powers. The proper terminology that could be used is "Divine-Craftsmen".

The Prophets, Apostles, and Jesus, taught concerning the spirit world, the kingdom of the light, the judgment era, and the man of lawlessness. The creation of life is a subject that humans have been in the dark ever since the creation of the wise man (Homo-sapiens), except for the few highly enlightened people who lived at a high level of consciousness.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

Further Understanding Of Abundance

By Geoffrey Rays

Complaining is a habit shared by humans. Think about a girl who hates her new shirt just because it doesn't look great in her body, the boy who would like to have another PSP although he already have 3 of them, or that parent who wish to push harder on their children although they know that their kids are already the top in their class.

Sometimes, the feeling of scarcity is all in the mind and sometimes, the feeling of as if we have everything can just be inside our mind as well. Once we learn to understand the means to make ourselves feel as if we have enough, this is the time when we can appreciate what we have even better.

Now, for you to be able to discern whether you are already sharing the attitude of complaining to the point that you forgot about those things that you have, read the warning signs below:

1. Constant Money Craving- What comes in mind once you think about money? Are you more concern on how much money you lack or how much you can actually manifest? Do you ever make it clear why you have to acquire money in the first place?

There are people who are so used to the habit of thinking about money; how much they have or how much they don't. This will allow someone to do things that they wouldn't actually do if only they allowed their conscience to decide.

What you can do is to just divert your thoughts into non-financial terms.

2. The "I hate the rich" Attitude- There are individuals who hate the wealthy simple because they are not. But let it be known that the feeling of jealousy will never help; rather this attitude is even risky. Why should you hate someone just because he or she is not like you?

The best that you can do is to simply be thankful that these people are present in your life so you will be able to have someone who you can emulate so you can be rich as well. Make them an inspiration instead of thinking that they are your competitors.

Most people either consciously or unconciously think of only two things 1) Working as hard as they can 2) Being grateful for what they have and what they have achieved.

In a nutshell, abundance is all in the mind. If you continue to look at yourself as if you are still in need of great cash, the tendency is that no matter how rich you are, people will still find you as if you don't have any. The best that you can do is to be grateful about the things that you have, regardless of how small they are. You should now understand the value of not basing your life on the amount of cash that you have in your bank account. Remember that you can be rich no matter if you don't share a big savings!

Remember that you can be rich even without money! Always be thankful about those people in your life who never judge you depending on the things that you have. Reflect on those times that your kids or anyone willingly shared a pizza with you simply because you don't have the money to buy a decent meal-this kind of things is very precious, more precious than money!

Recognizing Your Own Extra Sensory Perception

By Colin Firth

Do you think that it is possible that you have extra sensory perception? It is more than just a little possible considering that most of us have some degree of ESP. Extra sensory perception is the ability to determine various amounts of information in nontraditional ways. This is typically through the process of feeling. When you feel information, it comes to you in a way that is different from when you read or hear it.

Extra sensory perception is most commonly known as the card trick gift. This is because the movies have personified the telltale signs of ESP as the ability to tell an examiner whether there is a circle, a square, or a star on the card. Many gifted children were held in the twenties, thirties, and even as late as the eighties more or less against their will in an effort to get them to "read" the picture on the card without ever seeing it. It was considered the greatest test of ESP.

Children have historically been considered to be the most likely to be in touch with their extra sensory perception because they tend to trust what they feel. Children have historically been the subject of mental testing in order to determine whether true ESP as we have come to know it really exists.

Some of these children were tested for very long periods of time. While the testing started in the twenties, it continued all the way up until the eighties. While there are still many tests that are done today to explore the possibilities, these tests are now monitored and delivered with the best interests of the children (and adults) in mind.

Being able to sense the information without being able to get confirmation can be difficult for many people with heightened intuition to accept. If you have full blown extra sensory perception then you don't need the confirmation.

We all read body language and we all can sense and feel things. Also referred to as the sixth sense, extra sensory perception is much more common than we like to admit. Those who can develop their gifts or those who were born with a tremendously heightened awareness are those who are considered to gifted.

There are many different types and levels of ESP. You may be someone who feels information or you might be someone who recognizes information. You might just get the occasional nagging feeling or you might be someone who gets serious and intense feelings that can't be ignored.

If you have extra sensory perception chances are that you are already aware that you have it. Because there are enough nay sayers in the world you might occasionally doubt your own abilities. However, you know who you are, what's true about you, and what your reality is. It doesn't matter what others may or may not believe about your reality.

Certain Questions You Should Ask Yourself When Currently In Doubt Of A Relationship

By Jessica Green

There comes a point when you have to review your relationships and see where you stand. But on such occasions it so happens that you are not clear about what you want out of the relationship. If these were to be happening with you and concerns your girlfriend, then it calls for looking within and facing the truth for yourself.

You should stay put in the relationship only if you are happy at heart and this should be the only consideration to keep it going.

If you believe that the relationship needs another try and a chance from both of you to make it work, fine invest the effort and time. If not, it is better to separate and go on with life on your own.

Immediately after your break up, it is natural to be feeling sad and missing your girlfriend or wondering if you made a mistake. Do not worry; it takes a while to get over these things. You will soon feel happy when a new person enters your life and makes you feel good.

Sometimes it does happen that no matter what you do, you feel moody and bad. It could just be one of those days. Don't let that wear you down.

If living with your girlfriend is becoming another routine and you are just not being happy, it is time to face it for yourself that there is no future in this relationship. The best option is to end it amicably and get on with your life and be ready for the romance, which may be just around the corner.

Why do you need to keep your unhappiness to yourself? Why not sit down with your girlfriend and have a frank chat. May be it helps both of you make the required changes and get closer? She may not be aware of how you are feeling and hence not had the opportunity to work towards the relationship. May be you should give her a chance to try and improve things.

Even after a few chances and discussions if things are not improving in your relationship, then you girlfriend may not be making changes from within. If you are not happy, you may want to end this relationship and not suffer it for too long.

Manifesting Wealth And Prosperity Is Possible

By Nissal Karituna

Are you bogged down by money problems? Try manifesting wealth and prosperity with positive thinking. It is indeed possible.

There are many books, which advocate positive thinking in the world market these days. Different terms, actions to be taken and phrases can be used. However, they all boil down to the same thing. It is called positive thinking. By prosperity, there are some people who might simply connect it to money.

Although the phrasing of words and steps to be taken might vary but all these books mainly promote positive thinking. Why? Thoughts have vibrations of their own. This whole universe is thought to be functioning based on the power of energy.

It does not matter whether it is from a philosophical, scientific or even religious point of view. Albert Einstein and other famous scientists that this universe performs daily actions using energy have proved it. The famous theory of relativity by Albert Einstein, energy changing into matter and vice versa took the world by storm. Hence, this world cannot function without the force of energy.

When you think about something, your brain cells use certain energy. This energy is transmitted into the universe. Alternatively, you can call it as vibration. The universe receives the message and performs action based on that message. Therefore, if you think about something positive, the universe receives a positive message.

The universe starts to work based on your thoughts. That is the true meaning behind the words, power of thoughts. Of course, if you keep thinking that you have become a billionaire, it might be too far fetched. If you are undergoing some sort of financial crisis, then, be thankful for what you have.

It could be the roof over your head or any other. Your mind can accept this and work in a positive way. It is something true and believable. To follow some of the steps recommended by some positive thinking books might be difficult. For example, it is difficult to imagine yourself rich and happy when you are financially down.

By being thankful for what you have and thanking the universe for the abundance that you have received, you create positive energy. The universe receives this message and interprets it positively. So, it creates ways for you to receive more abundance or wealth. Do not expect to strike a billion dollars by practising positive thinking.

It does not work that way. Positive thinking helps to make your life better. You improve in financial terms or have more money to spend. Simply do not expect to fall from the sky. You still need to work hard for your money. Perhaps, if your stars were bright, then, you may strike the jackpot.

So, if you are feeling burdened by financial problems or any other related problem, start thinking positively in whatever you are doing. Be happy and positive.

How To Find Out If You Are A Reincarnation

By Julie Sommerville

Many people have the sneaking suspicion that they have lived before. This is known as reincarnation and is a major principle of several religions. It entails the soul leaving a body when the body dies. The soul then comes back, either immediately or at a later time in the body of a baby to live again. This can happen dozens of times, though there is no definite proof it can happen at all--except for people's gut feelings about it.

Flashbacks are the usual reason for people thinking this. Sometimes people can have memories that they cannot explain--know things they know they have not learned during this life. Some are very tied to certain periods of history, want to wear the clothes and listen to the music of that time. For some, it borders on obsession and they cannot explain it. These are all common symptoms.

If you think you are a reincarnation, visit some sites on the Internet. There is plenty of information, including tips on what to do about it. You can go to therapy with a psychologist who specializes in this subject. You may also want to look into hypnosis to unlock buried memories or meditate in order find things you may have lost over the years.

So what purpose could unlocking your memories serve? You should never want to ignore a chance to learn more about yourself. You could find that you have a great skill in an area you have never considered. This is because you achieved much with that skill in a past life, so your soul does not feel the need to push you to achieve it now. It can help you get over phobias, too, because you can finally know the real reason why you are afraid.

Life presents many obstacles and the only way to get around them is to know your strengths and weaknesses. By learning more about yourself, you could end up living a happier existence and find strength you never knew you had.

If you have complicated relationships in your life, reincarnation may be the answer to why people interact in certain ways. Often times people find that they are attracted to the same souls. Souls stick together through many lives. Your best friend in this life may feel so close to you because he was your brother in the last life. It can sort out many different dynamics.

There are many different theories about why the soul may do this. A common belief in Hindu sects is that the soul is imperfect and needs many live to gain perfection. After you have lived so many times, you will have learned all there is to know and have mastered every skill there is to master. Once your soul is perfect and you die for the last time, your soul can finally go to an after life, which itself is a place of perfection.

For this reason you should investigate more about your past. You can then figure out how many lives you have lived and what things you have learned during them. You can track your soul and see if this life might be your last one.

The Benefits Of Remote Viewing Training

By Allan Brooks

The psychic ability which pertains to the ability to view people, objects and places is know as remote viewing. This ability is not in the range of our five senses. Without the ability to remote reviewing you would not be able to view these things. Your psychic ability can be trained to view these things without your need to be within sight of it.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that remote viewing is the same as an out-of-body experience, because it isn't. Out-of-body (Astral travel) experiences are spiritual, not physical, when viewing a place or event. But anyone can successful take part in remote viewing training.

Considered a form of psychic dowsing, remote viewing is using your psychic powers to find anything you want to find. An individual who has taken remote viewing training and is looking to find something uses a form of ESP.

All humans have a form of latent psychic ability that was never developed fully when we were young. Considering that most of us only ever use around 10% of our brain's capacity, there's another 90% of dormant brainpower left untapped and untrained that we aren't quite sure what to do with.

Imagine the possibilities. You could reach out to your children and see that they are safe, even in public places. The peace of mind and the security that comes with the ability to remote viewing and all the benefits, priceless.

What makes remote viewing different to other forms of psychic abilities is that anyone can learn how to do it. Studies on many non-psychic people have shown that once these people had been taught to enter into a sufficient trance-like state, they were able to engage in remote viewing with high levels of accuracy.

You can try some of these techniques to remote viewing training on your own:

1. Get seated in a comfortable place, closing your eyes. Eliminate all distractions before beginning.

2. Relax. Breathing deeply through your nose. By pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth you will find it easier to breath. You will also find that the tendency to yawn will be curbed while practicing this phase.

3. A key factor, in your success, will be belief in your remote viewing. While you fall deeper into your state of relaxation, you need to believe in your capabilities of focusing on events, people or places you've not physically seen.

4. Your remote viewing training can begin with you choosing a simple target to show your mind that you are capable of achieving this kind of psychic seeking. Perhaps begin by viewing yourself from a place in front of you, as though you were looking back at your relaxed body as you sit there through a mirror. It can be a little difficult at first to allow your mind to view yourself from an opposite perspective, but be patient. When you do see yourself from the angle that others see you, you'll be in for a wonderful surprise.

5. Once the needed mental control has been mastered so that you can view yourself from a remote viewing, cast your remote viewing eye wider. Observe a familiar location. Perhaps a family member or parents home. This will suffice during the training of your mind. Notice things out of place. Small things. Things like a magazine on a table, dishes on the sink in the kitchen. This reinforces what you have seen and is important and will show you what the mind is capable of achieving.

It is possible to amend these remote viewing training exercises to include two people so that you'll have your feedback and results much more quickly. Instead of viewing places or people you want to see, have a friend sit in another room and repeat a simple movement, like a hand wave or pulling hair. Try to determine through your remote viewing exercises what action your friend is repeating and compare notes to get your results.

You may find that it is both quicker and easier to fall into a relaxed state once you have been spending time practicing your remote viewing training techniques. This is a similar state of relaxation to the trance-like state of relaxation reached under hypnosis. While still conscious of what is going on, the body relaxes enough to access the subconscious mind.

Our psychic abilities are much more easily accessible via the sub-conscious, so the more you practice your remote viewing training techniques, the better you'll become.

Can Anyone Learn Chakra Balancing?

By Idi Bejen

The seven chakras in a human body need to be opened and the energy flow balanced and aligned within itself as well as with the infinite energy source of the cosmos for the wholesome development of a human being.

A red lotus with four petals is the image of the base or root chakra of Muladhar. Located at the base of the spine, this chakra can be balanced by breathing in the red colour till the base of your spine and visualizing the red energy ball at that place. Constantly affirm yourself that you have safety and security in this world and your monetary matters are well taken care of. Everyday exercises that target the lower back region like those of squats or using gem stones like red garnet, smoky quartz, and black obsidian are helpful in balancing the energy of this chakra.

Learn chakra balancing for the Swadhisthana chakra by visualizing an orange lotus with six petals at the sacral region. Visualize energy flowing in a clockwise direction in the area above your belly button and mentally affirm the fact that things like creativity, emotions, sexuality are gifts which needs to be expressed. You can also perform everyday exercises like pelvic thrusts, circling or even gem stones like those of carnelian orange or calcite tiger's eye to balance this chakra.

Coming to the third chakra of Manipura, symbolized by a yellow lotus with ten petals, practice yoga which targets the area around the solar plexus. You can also use gems such as citrine topaz or golden calcite for balancing this energy. Visualize warm and bright sunshine yellow on top of the belly button moving to and fro in a clockwise direction and constantly affirm yourself that nobody or nothing else has power over you and you are the sole master of your own actions and boundaries.

Learn chakra balancing for the Heart chakra or the green lotus with 12 petals by breathing in the green colour to the center of your heart and visualizing the energy flow in a clockwise direction, back and forth. Regular little things like hugging yourself or activities like swimming, push up exercises will open and balance this chakra. One might also use gems such as rose quartz, kunzite, watermelon tourmaline and jade for the same purpose.

The Vishuddha Chakra of a blue lotus with 16 petals located at the base of one's throat requires one to breathe in the colour blue in his throat and visualize it moving in a clockwise direction. Activities like Singing or affirming yourself that you are able to communicate and express yourself clearly are important. Gems that can be used in this case are aquamarine, sodalite, etc.

Learn chakra balancing for the Ajna or the third eye chakra by advanced meditation concentrating on the indigo lotus with two petals between your eyebrows. Activities like remote viewing or lucid dreaming are possible by the opening up of this chakra and for that, constantly affirm yourself that your intuition is what guides you and not the ego. Use of gem stones like lapis, blue fluorite or clear quartz may also come to use in balancing this chakra.

The final chakra located at the crown of the head is the Sahasrara Chakra which is symbolized by a vivid violet lotus with a thousand petals reflecting the ultimate spiritual enlightenment of man. You can balance this chakra by advanced meditation and visualizing this symbol at the crown of your head. Prayer and devotion along with a feeling of gratitude towards the universe for everything that you've got and what you will be getting in the future will lead to the opening up of this chakra. Gems like amethyst, Oregon opal or clear quartz facilitate balancing of this energy.

A Little Bit About Past Life Reincarnation

By Alistair Macdonald

Many people thing that with the New Age religions that are coming out past life reincarnation is something new. This is nothing of the sorts. Just the opposite is true. This idea that you were once something else and are now this human form has been around for quite some time. It started with the idea of Buddha.

For some people, they were just taught to believe. Their religious convictions tell them that when they leave this world, their soul goes beyond this life and becomes something else. These religions are those who are Buddhist as well as some Hindus. Their ancestors have been practicing this for years to come.

In most cases, their societies believe that once a soul leaves this earth, it transforms into a new life. The person that you were before you left was once something else. They do not put measures as to what you were before this life either. For some they were a shrub while others were an animal.

Many people of these cultures find this to be a very good thing. It sort of brings them a peace of mind. Many of them feel that this is the chance at life. They find it to be sort of a new beginning of sorts. That is, they have been dealt this bad hand, but is given the chance to live a new life. How many of us have always said we have wanted that? We would like to try life over and in a different body? Many have admitted to thinking that.

For those who do believe, they take great comfort in knowing that this life is just the journey to another life. They look for ancestors everywhere they walk. The simplest tree could be a cousin who has passed. It's something like the Lion King. We all become something else.

The way they say that you know if you have this trait is that one feels it. They say that you can feel this inside yourself. They will tell you that most of the time you will know because you will have the ability to do something. They say that you might not have known you can do this before it will just jump out at you just like that. That's how you will know.

For those who do believe, they commonly find that those who meditate can often remember as to who they were in a previous life. This is just a tip for those who feel that they do believe in this concept, but who might not necessarily remember what it was they were or the previous life in which they lived. For some people, their religion will help with this, if not there are tutorials out there that cna help you with such a task of remembering.

That is why some practice meditation. This is to relax you and prepare you to tune solely into those gifts. While many think that this is something new which is being mentioned in tons of books and such, it's nothing new. They have been practicing this for years. Now, it is just your turn to see if you too believe in it.

Most Remembered Headstones

By Jennifer Wilkinson

There are quite a few recognized graves across the world, here's five of the most talked over memorial headstones.

The Marine Corps war memorial is located in Arlington, Virginia. It is dedicated in all the personnel of the US Marine Corps who died in the defence of their country. Sculpted from a photo taken by Joe Rosenthal at the battle of the Iwo Jima this memorial remembers the marines and sailors who raised the 2nd flag over Iwo Jima from which only 3 of the 6 men depicted here survived the battle.

Charlie Chaplin suffered a stroke and lapsed into a coma and finally died on Christmas day aged 88. A private burial took place at a cemetery nearby Chaplin's manor in Vevey, Switzerland. A few months after his burial his body and coffin were removed from the cemetery and held to ransom. The Coffin and body were discovered 3 months later buried in a cornfield and returned to the cemetery. Memorial statues have gone up all over the world to remember this great talent including the one in this photo in Vevey, Switzerland.

The Moai on Easter Island were built as memorials to worshipped ancestors. It was thought that the dead and the living had a linked existence with the dead providing everything the living needed (health, good crops, animals etc) and the living offering better resting places through offerings and memorials. A 15 number long Moai was excavated in the 1990's.

Christopher Columbus's voyages to the US rank among history's most import events and as a consequence the final resting place of such an important man is in great dispute with the Cathedral in Valladolid, Santo Domingo and the cathedral in Seville (left) all claiming to hold his remains.

Strawberry Fields in New York's central park is a 2.5 acre landscaped section dedicated in the memory of John Lennon. The focal point of the park is a reproduction of a famous mosaic from Italy with a single word in the middle "Imagine", the title of Lennon's most famous song.

It's safe to say there are two types of individuals in the world; negative ones or positive ones. People who are negative usually expect the worst out of their day while positive people are the exact opposite.

A great example of this is if you want a job that pays a lot more money. Just by using your mind powers it can become a reality. However, if you are defeated and negative in your think right from the beginning, the worst will usually surface. This is because you allow your mind to fill up with doubt. The problem is negative thoughts manifest into negative actions, which can play a major role in your day-to-day life. If you don't learn to alter your circumstances you will stay in this mode the rest of your life.

The perception of society is based upon how everyone views you as an individual. A prime example of this is if you go to work and the employer doesn't believe you have faith in your own abilities. When this happens they will either let you go or just keep you in a mediocre position.

Now on the other hand, you will have the right attitude if you know you know you are the best at what you do. Those powers-to-be will see your self-confidence and put more faith in your work. The mind powers you have within you can help produce a happier life in all aspects.

While positive thinking is the key, your mind powers can also form negative issues. Whether its depression, heartache, or a life full of tragedies, we attract circumstances in our lives just by the way we think.

Let's take another example of someone who wishes to lose weight. If the individual does not think that they can lose the pounds they want, everything they do will be motivated by that self-doubt. They'll look at a fast food hamburger and say, "well, I'm not going to be able to lose the weight anyway, so I might as well go ahead and indulge myself". Exercising to get the pounds off will be more difficult because of the individual's view of themselves. Ultimately, they will give up because they lack belief.

You can easily use your mind powers to change your life and have everything you've ever dreamed of. The only downside is that you have to couple the power of your mind with the physical action required to make things happen. When your mind starts to doubt that good things will happen, remind yourself of all the times that you came out on top. Think of all of the accomplishments you have achieved in your life thus far. Remember the attitude that got you there.

Everything in your life revolves around your mind powers. If your spouse comes home from work and you are already angry about something they did, it's going to spark a negative reaction in your partner and create an argument. Your outcome has already been determined by your mind powers. But, if you're positive and react to your spouse in a loving manner, then everything will go just fine.

Likewise, if you hate rainy days, and wake up to see that there is rain, it's probably going to be a depressing day. However, if you change your mind, your day will go by much smoother. It's all about developing new ways of thinking. We all have some habitual negative thinking patterns, and fortunately, the mind is an easy thing to change.

The Reason Why We Should Avoid Having Unpleasant Emotions

By Jillian Fox

What you eat as well as what you feel can affect your health. For example, if you ever felt so deeply hurt that you thought it was like somebody was twisting a knife in your wound. Then you felt your heart was being torn into pieces then you can probably guess what it feels like. Try to imagine what stress and bitterness can do to create trouble for the heart.

Negative emotions interfere with the sound state of the heart, and stress is one of them. They cause the blood clots to form in your veins and interrupt the smooth flow of blood in the heart.

Another cause of high blood pressure is negative emotions like fear, anger, and panic because all these will make the blood to boil so to speak. The person then begins to feel some serious headache, or become faint and very tired.

If you are wondering how one can get help, it is by coming to the realization that these negative feelings are causing havoc to your health; and that there is something that you can do about it. Learn how to overcome negativity in order to normalize the flow of blood in your body and the pumping of your heart.

You are in a position to change your destiny by just saying no to stressful and pessimistic demeanor because the truth is that in life you can never be totally free of problems.

Make a great effort to avoid any negative circumstances. It means you will simply have to avoid people who have a negative attitude, and just learn to say "no."

To counteract this negative feeling, just surround yourself with positive minded people. They say misery is out there looking for company but happiness can catch on; do look for people who are not pessimistic in life and who have a happy mien all the time. Hang out with go-getters who have positive mentality about life. Smile and others will smile back to you is a very apt saying.

Do not let the things of life worry you especially when you know there is nothing much you can do about them.

Understand Abundance Secrets To Enjoy Prosperity In Life

By Karen Cochran

People crave for abundance, even the rich are not content with what they have. In view of this, many books have been written in regards to the abundance secrets. None of them however are really successful in allowing a person to reach the state where every aspect of their life is "good".

Despite these books, ebooks, videos, or what you want to call them, people still complain about how much they are lacking with-"I want a new skirt", "I want to live in a warmer place", "I wish to travel outside the universe, "I want a new house" etc.

Instead of focusing yourself on the negative thing in life, you should make it a habit to stop complaining and think about those people who never seem to stop struggling for survival during their entire lives.

The abundance secrets are not any magic potion or hectic tasks that we should learn because they are already inside us. We will jus be able to reveal it by the time when we realize how to divert our thoughts on the things that we have rather than spending all our time in figuring out the things that we lack.

If we continue to allow our mind to focus only on our struggles and those unfair situations we are trapped in, it is easy for us to become discouraged and we then fail to see the beauty of life.

Open your eyes to the fact that there are many people who are able to overcome these obstacles and end up having a life which is filled with love, money, happiness, and joy. You can have this life as well.

The process of abundance will start as soon as you begin to shift your focus from the problems you have to the goodness of life that you actually take pleasure in. Every living person is capable of manifesting abundance in their life.

The time when you will enjoy everything that you could ever get from life will never come because the more you get something, the more will you crave for more. In view of this, true abundance is that time when you start counting the blessing so you can have it right now if you just keep your focus.

Some people would compare the abundance secrets as being like mature branches of a tree which should all be taken away in order to give way to something which is new and better. People who really understand it however see it more as the mature branches needing to be pruned in order to grow younger branches. Think of a grape vine that increases its produce each year with the help of intensive pruning. Without pruning, the ground will weaken and the crop will start to diminish.

So each time you are in a difficult situation, especially something that concerns your finances, do not be scared because you are at your pruning stage. You will be able to appreciate success much more by changing things gradually and focusing on the positive. Always have faith in your heart and trust your intuition and you will have a great life!

The Incredible Potential Of Your Mind Powers

By Geoff Love

By using your mind powers, you have the ability to have anything in life that you want. The mind is a free resource and it is unlimited, all you have to do is use it.

It's safe to say there are two types of individuals in the world; negative ones or positive ones. People who are negative usually expect the worst out of their day while positive people are the exact opposite.

A great example of this is if you want a job that pays a lot more money. Just by using your mind powers it can become a reality. However, if you are defeated and negative in your think right from the beginning, the worst will usually surface. This is because you allow your mind to fill up with doubt. The problem is negative thoughts manifest into negative actions, which can play a major role in your day-to-day life. If you don't learn to alter your circumstances you will stay in this mode the rest of your life.

Your perception is your reality and also the way everyone else views you. If the employer you want to work for sees that you don't have faith in your abilities, they're not going to chance it.

On a positive note, if you know you can do the job better than anyone else and have the right attitude, the place you want to work for will recognize that confidence and therefore put their faith in you and give you the position. Your mind powers have the natural capability to produce a happy life full of luck and abundance.

They also have the ability to produce a life full of tragedies, depression, and heartaches. People automatically attract certain circumstances into their lives by the way they think.

Let's take another example of someone who wishes to lose weight. If the individual does not think that they can lose the pounds they want, everything they do will be motivated by that self-doubt. They'll look at a fast food hamburger and say, "well, I'm not going to be able to lose the weight anyway, so I might as well go ahead and indulge myself". Exercising to get the pounds off will be more difficult because of the individual's view of themselves. Ultimately, they will give up because they lack belief.

The good news is you can easily shift your mind powers to provide determination, will power, and the fuel you need to be successful in any part of life. In order to make this happen you have to combine the power of your mind with the physical action necessary to make everything take place. Once the doubts begin to surface, it's crucial that you remove these with positive thoughts ASAP. So have the right attitude throughout reaching your goals and you will be successful.

In the end it's your mind powers that control everything in life. How many times have you or someone you know have an argument with a spouse after work. Most likely the initiator was already upset before they walked through the door. Maybe they had a bad day at the office or traffic was a disaster, but if you can learn to hone these temptations the evening will be more present.

I'm sure you've looked outside what day, saw it raining, and just thought to yourself; "Oh great, another fun day in the rain." Then when you went to work you felt as dreary as the weather and everyone could see it in your work. This is the mind powers playing tricks on you. See, we all have negative patterns that surface. Lucky for you it's an easy thing to change when you unleash the power of your mind.

What Does A Psychic Do?

By Daniel Pitter

There have been many different names and titles given to those with psychic powers over the years. Some of the more commonly known names included augur, fortune tellers, and prophets. Their psychic abilities have been termed things like second sight and clairvoyance. Yet, as names and titles change the actual roles of psychics in society and the nature of their powers does not seem to change.

People who are psychic believe that they can tap deep enough into the subconscious to be able to see things beyond what the natural eye sees. Some psychics claim to be able to speak with the dead (mediums). Others believe that tarot cards can be used to predict the future.

People who do not have these powers often go to psychic readings in order to learn something about their deeper mind and life in general. It is believed that psychics are able to see deep into our psyche to access information we do not even know exists in our own minds.

The reactions to a psychic reading or any display of psychic power vary from person to person. Some people embrace the new information they discover about themselves, while others shy away or become alarmed at what they learn. It is never known what may come out when the reading first begins.

The very first known psychic lived from 1766 to 1815. Dr. Franz Antoine Mesmer has come under some scrutiny in modern days, but in his lifetime he was known as a clairvoyant with the power to heal. Exactly how powerful he actually was will never be known.

Margaret, Kate, and Leah Fox were also prominent psychics in history. The Fox sisters claimed to be able to speak to the dead. People paid to watch them perform their antics, which included objects that seemed to move on their own and mysterious rapping noises. This was all part of the 1948, Hydesville psychic movement.

At the time all of this was going on, most people refused to believe in this type of power. Even Houdini came out stating this type of activity was being faked. There were even many churches in on the action, holding services to ward off demons and communicating with the dead.

A lot of skepticism about psychic powers comes from the fact that every human has some type of precognitive ability. We commonly refer to it as instincts, but many people relate it to the power of prophecy. There have been many instances of people calling a loved one just as something really bad was happening because they sensed something was wrong. You may have had your own experiences with knowing things, such as who is on the phone before you say hello.

Also, the term dj vu has been big throughout history but is now related to events where someone may see something in a dream that really comes true.

"Mantic Arts" is another term that refers to a type of historical psychic ability. This is the practice of reading signs and messages through stones, sticks, dice, tea leaves, shells, and other objects. In history, priests were noted to read messages through the patterns made by oil when poured into water. This practice was considered dangerous and was later banned with a penalty of persecution in the Christian world.

The roots of psychic readings go way back to the beginnings of time, where they were ever present in the ancient world. It was known that the King of Egypt kept psychics always on hand as a part of the royal court. They would be consulted for major decisions and of course, they could be imprisoned or killed for giving the wrong answers to the King's problems.

During the Salem witch trials, fortune tellers and anyone else who displayed any type of extraordinary powers were murdered under the Christian belief that they were doing the bidding of the devil.

Today Psychics are widely accepted as part of society. They are prominent in large cities, as well as in books, on the radio, on television and on the internet.

Of course, there is still a lot of doubt and skepticism surrounding this type of power. While it is no longer demonized, many people still do not believe psychic powers are real.

Though a very small minority of psychics may not be sincere, you should remember that there are charlatans in every profession. There is more than ample evidence to show that the majority of psychics are genuine.

In fact, science is now proving that every human being has some level of psychic power. These powers are of varying degree, but they can be developed if you are determined.

Understanding Psychic Power

By Mary Argant

I once knew a girl in school who could sometimes and quite accurately tell us things like whether a teacher would be absent that day or her own marks in a certain paper before the results. Though we held her in awe but never really thought much about her abilities except concluding the phenomenon as a exceptionally good gut feeling. Well, now when I come to think of it, my childhood friend was a psychic having a well developed psychic power of precognition.

Psychic power refers to the ability of perceiving information from one's surroundings which are otherwise hidden from the five sensory organs. Thus, a person can be termed a psychic if he/she has the special ability to see, hear, feel or know certain things which other people cannot. Commonly known as extra sensory perception, psychic powers are believed to be born with or developed after a tragic near death experience or a major event in a person's life which might have turned him towards a spiritual lane. Whatever might be its origin, it has a profound impact on the person's life being perceived as either a special gift or a curse.

Various types of psychic powers exist in the world. The most common being those of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition. While telepathy involves perceiving and knowing the thoughts of another person, clairvoyance refers to seeing things which are far away or are otherwise not available to you or anybody else. Precognition on the other hand is the psychic power of predicting future events.

In case of telepathy, the psychic is able to know what is going on in another person's mind or what he is feeling. This power varies from a level of mere knowing what he feels or wants to do, to an advanced level where the psychic can infuse his own thoughts into the his mind.

Clairvoyance comes from the word 'Clear Viewing', hence it is the psychic power by which the psychic can see persons or things which are hidden or are thousands of miles away. Also known as 'Remote Viewing' this power helps in only 'seeing' while that of the psychic powers of clairaudience and clairsentience are powers to 'hear' or 'know' under the same conditions.

Precognition on the other hand refers to the psychic power to foresee future events and predicting the same. Since human beings have an innate desire to know about his/her future, this psychic power is the most popular and psychics possessing this are in great demand.

Other rare but important types of psychic powers include psychokinesis, the power to move matter with the power of thought; levitation or the ability to get your body to ascend from the ground; aura reading, the power to perceive the energy fields emitting from another person; astral projection, involving leaving your own body and traveling to another place in spirit and lastly channeling, or the power to act as a medium to any outside intelligence or spirits.

If you are a psychic, chances are that you take yourself to be either gifted or cursed. Always remember that psychic powers are extremely rare and are special abilities that not many people are born with. Hence, consider it as a blessing and try to make it come useful for the betterment of others.

Living A Positive Outlook In Life

By Elizabeth Ricks

People like to look at life in two different ways, positively or negatively. The hard part is normally how one views life, and that is what matters. Many guys like talking about looking at life through rosy spectacles, to say that one is always positive about life.

One would say am the more optimistic person because I like seeing things positively and harboring great hope that they would turn out perfectly for me every time, and I like giving this same advice to everyone else.

This is because I like to tell everyone to be more positive and to just, "take things positively until proven otherwise." This works for me all the time and it has always been my mantra.

There is something called self-fulfilling prophecy, which means that if you keep busy seeing the dark side of life most of the times, it will surely invite bad luck into your life.

Whatever thoughts you preoccupy your mind with be they negative or positive ones; will attract the things into your life according to the trend of your thoughts. It is the reason it is highly recommended that you look at life positively.

Even though in life things do not always work out the way you would want them to, but that should not discourage you. It is because even your own reaction to things and your attitude either way will do a lot in dictating how life turns out for you.

A positive attitude and a strong will can definitely work better for you and make good things come your way. If you just believe in yourself and refuse to give up soon enough things will begin to change.

When you keep focusing on the right things and are positive about it all, that will be a major step in the right direction to success.

How To Develop The Necessary Traits To Become A Good Leader

By Micaela Jones

Leaders are leaders whether they like it or not. This can be an exhausting job whether you are the leader at work or at home or in your club or organization. It's hard work that wears away at you one day to the next.

Leadership compels you to be independent of many rules and regulations. You literally have to think outside the box in order to function. You have to be able to tackle situations as they come at you without the benefit of referring to a guide on the subject.

A leader has to be dynamic while also remaining calm even when the stresses of the moment threaten to break them like a stick. They have to be ideologically flexible while also being able to fall back on a set of beliefs to inform them of what to do when they don't have all the information of a given situation.

Situations can become quickly complicated and leaders have to be able to contend with these situations even as they change moment by moment. Leaders have to rise to meet these challenges even if they are afraid or don't have the courage to do so.

Leaders have to focus on the mission to make tough decisions when the situation calls on them to make tough decisions. They can't be swayed by politicians and cowards into making the decisions that might not be in the best interest of the group or organization.

Leaders have to be open minded while also being sincere in their beliefs. They have to be able to hear out an employee or partner when they come to them with an idea or a criticism. They have to listen, but they don't always have to act. They have to be able to defend their own convictions even when they might be unpopular or ill-informed.

Finally, it is always important for a leader to opinionated. Leaders have to be able to take a stand when the moment calls for it. That means they have to be opinionated and steadfast.

As a leader, you should be strong and decisive but also know when it will benefit you or the group to sway with the tides of opinion or better information. In this way you will be the best leader that you can be.

The Steps To Achieve True Happiness

By Ginnie Wilkins

You control your own happiness. While ridding yourself of all the negativity around may not be easy, especially if you are going through a rough time, it is important to understand that you are the only person that can directly control whether you are happy or sad. Understanding this is the first step to attaining true happiness.

Smiling is good for you. Not only does it make you look friendlier, it reduces stress and improves your immune system. Smiling just might save your life someday.

Walking is good for you. It burns fat and makes you healthier. It makes your brain work better and keeps your heart in good shape. Walking keeps you healthy, and a healthy person is a happy person.

Eat more green stuff. Fruits and vegetables help us stay healthy. There's a reason our parents told us to eat our vegetables when we were younger. Eating plant matter, while not being as satisfying as eating meat, will make you feel good and, in turn, increase your happiness.

Many people forsake books in favor of the television. At some point in history, people became convinced that book were for nerds or dedicated scholastic types; they decided that books weren't for them and the only thing that they could do to have fun was watch TV. Books are incredible sources of knowledge, information, and entertainment. They don't require electricity, so you don't have to plug it up. That last fact by itself can end up saving you a lot of money, and that's always good.

Try hanging out with friends. Socializing can make you feel really good; you may not have to be around people to enjoy yourself, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun.

Being around kids and senior citizens can have a great effect on you. Children help us remember what it was like to be a kid ourselves, and older people can impart wisdom that we can benefit from.

Being happy takes work, like anything else of value. Leading an active lifestyle and maintaining a positive attitude can go a long way. Live life like every day as your last and you will be sure to have a blast.

Doing Good Things Shouldn't Just Come From A Desire To Look Good To People

By Matthew Spring

When you make a resolve to be a good person, you should not do the good things just because you know there are eyes watching you. Do them even when no one is.

It does not require the backing of the masses and approval for you to be termed as a socially upright person. Contrary to that, you may have people following you and encouraging you to do bad things.

There is always some dictation by society about what people should do. Integrity allows one to judge and see beyond pleasing the crowds.

Good things done out of the blues are different from god things done out of integrity and instinct. When integrity is brought into the picture, people will have no difficulty in complying with a certain standard of ethics.

If you really appreciate the sense of integrity, you will effortlessly start working with it as your daily attitude. You will fearlessly walk through certain situations and change of scenarios.

There is no room for guilt and ill feeling when you do the right stuff. Why would you feel doubt or a sense of apprehension when you know you are on the right direction? What you feel afterwards is the key. You should do everything without any slight craving for some good deed in return.

Integrity will determine how well you blend with other people. That is the bet time to see how well integrity pays off. Generally, those who are known as people of good character will stand out as the most trusted to do the right things. By getting along with [people you are assured good friends.

If you were a person of great integrity, everyone would want to be associated with you. The fact that you project goodness and always shine a light of hope to people that come your way will make you a positive character. This will cause people to remember you always for your deeds, long after you are gone.

Survive 2012: To See The New Life Ahead

By Izabelle P. Daviau

If you have heard of the Apocalypse 2012, then you surely have acquired some ideas on how you need to prepare in order to survive 2012. It cannot be denied that not all of us everywhere in the world are already aware of the actual details of this prediction. Although there are a big chunk of the world's population who more or less have some ideas on what to expect, not too many are still equipped with the appropriate knowledge of how to prepare for survival.

This is because not too many of us have accepted the possibility of this prediction. As a matter of fact, there are still a big percentage of people all over the world that laugh these predictions off and think that it is sheer foolishness to believe in such mad predictions.

But then again, if you will research seriously about it, or perhaps simply read reviews online, you will find out that there have been predictions of famous prophets in the past, that have been disregarded, taken no notice of, shrugged shoulders off, and boom, they happened! One of which is the 911 tragedy that struck not only the country of America but the entire world, which has actually been forecasted by Nostradamus in his recently discovered book.

Should you be one of those who are still unconvinced about such predictions, perhaps you might consider as well thinking about the predictions that Nostradamus has made in the past, and back track to see which of his predictions actually took place. That way, you can more or less come up with a more reasonable and sound judgment about these speculations.

Or better yet, you may also join some survival groups to make preparations for the Doomsday much lighter and easier for you. If you prefer putting up your own survival community and leading the group, that would also be good. The most important thing is you have your eyes open for the possibilities of impending calamities and massive destructions which can mean the end of the world for all of us.

Make it a point that you equip yourself with the right knowledge in order to survive 2012. Otherwise, you might just be a bystander when it happens. You might just suddenly find yourself being blown by the great winds off to somewhere you never know and perish where it leads you. Things like these may really be pretty scary, that is why nothing beats being prepared for serious predictions such as these.

Effective Ways Of Dealing With A Break-Up

By Julie Wilson

Different people respond differently in dealing with a break-up. But there are some commonalities, and these common afflictions do have some cures that help heal a broken heart. The point of this exercise is to learn from others, instead of repeating the same mistakes.

Stop Fighting: Continuing to pour all the pain and anger of the breakup on hapless friends and relatives may make some people feel better. But after some time, it is just a plea for attention and pity. Worst part of it is that it keeps alive all the hurt and prevents people from moving ahead with a new life sans the ex.

Get a Life: The most important thing that can be done to get past the heartbreak and anguish is to fill the void. Find ways to keep busy - mentally and physically. This can mean a whole lot of different things for different people.

It's not easy to fill this hole, but it is necessary to avoid thinking about the breakup every waking hour. For starters, sitting on the couch watching tv or living in an alcohol induced daze doesn't help. It is essential to find something to be passionate about - something that not just work or a chore, but also a pleasure.

Women who spend all their time at home might want to consider getting a job that provides direction and a sense of purpose. Men who never had any time for friends or fun might want to make good use of this opportunity to reduce a golf handicap or start enjoying the evening out. One very good way to forget all about the breakup and start enjoying life is to travel.

Get a Makeover: There's no such thing as a bad time for a makeover. But the timing and significance is especially good right after a breakup. It's like the old look represents everything associated with the ex, and the new one means a fresh start. As a bonus, the new look will also prove helpful when its time to get hold of someone new.

Start Going Out: Everything discussed above deals mostly with self-improvement, but at some point it becomes necessary to broaden the horizons. This means getting up off the couch and giving up eating takeouts alone. Start meeting friends, and go to parties and events to meet new people. This doesn't necessarily have to lead to dates right away, but dealing with a break-up in this way will surely help in getting past the heartbreak quickly.

How To Know Where To Go To Survive 2012

By Darryl . Maura

Because of the several catastrophes that forecasted to occur in two years, many people become confused where to go to survive 2012.

If you are still unsure about the approaching Armageddon, you will have to catch up and be up to date about what will take place so that you can gear up your own way. This is not a joke, there is no hype and if you are caught unaware, there will be no chances of getting through it. In fact, several people are bound to breathe their last breath because they do not comprehend what is going to come about to Earth and they also do not know the scale of its effects.

These are not long-standing effects like what we have experienced in global warming, but will be a swift change that may ensue overnight, for the most part on December 21, 2012. Should you have already seen the film 2012, it will give you an idea.

The film has so much truth in it as it is based on the Mayan calendar that existed 3000 years before Christ was born. You will probably have several questions regarding Armageddon, such as where will be the most secure place to build homes, is it necessary to leave the country, will you be protected in the woods or do you need to hide up in the mountains. However, before these questions will be answered, you should first know what is going to happen and why. These are just some books about 2012 that can answer all your questions.

Books like 2012 Contact are elaborately written so that all you need to know will be given and the facts are written in a direct manner. You will also discover what is true and what is false so you will not be too carried away and prepare the wrong way, which might lead you to bring the wrong things.

Psychological arrangments should also be carried out so that you will be able to endure the catastrophe as well as living within your means when the said Day of Reckoning is all over. Exerting efforts not to go crazy during this time will be the true test and 2012 books can furnish you with the proper frame of mind and psychological shield that you need to resist this test.

The Art Of Manifesting

By Rossana Reagan

Before we can discuss its merits we need to know what manifesting essentially means. It is a way of creating what you want through the power of your own mind and at a time in life that you want it to happen.

Manifesting can really help you achieve what you want out of life and bring you great happiness and satisfaction. It may seem a hard thing to achieve but it is not. Only ourselves and our untrained minds are holding us back when it comes to wanting to manifest something.

Good things don't come to those who wait albeit patient is a virtue but it's not the whole picture. Manifesting the things in life that are important to you or vital in your life involves you evoking your own deep subconscious powers of the mind which may have been previously locked to you.

Manifesting things comes from experience quiet easy. Do you see successful businessmen or famous actors tell people that they did nothing but sit back and wait for fame and fortune. A lot of hard work; time; belief in oneself; never giving up and always being prepared. All this eventually got the person what they wanted.

Manifesting does not come easy to everyone but with a little practice and perseverance it can come to anyone who wants something bad enough.

What we say out loud to ourselves can help drive and inspire any thoughts or images we have locked deep inside our minds eventually manifesting in a tangible desire. The bigger or more complex the desire the longer and more committed you have to be in repeating to yourself over and over again about how much you need and will get this desire achieved. By drumming in this repeatedly you will begin to believe it more and grow in confidence and eventually manifesting it yourself.

You may not know it but you probably are already manifesting things in your life have done so in life. For example have you ever felt nervous over an exam or driving test and said to yourself I can do it? If you set out to pass an exam and believe you can do and feel confident that manifests itself on to you. Many times have you not believed in yourself and failed an exam just because you didn't believe in yourself?

When will you know that manifesting works? As soon as you start concentrating on something really pacific that you want and need. You must be focused on the task and tell yourself that you can do it, you're not going to give up and you belief in your own ability. After all if everyone else can do it then why can't I? Remember one small step at a time and you could be on your way to a better life!
