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?

Every Person Has An Prime Author Of Influence As With A Value System

By Neil Baulch


Part 8. All people have an ultimate source of authority, whether consciously or unconsciously, and the authority of the Christian Church is the Bible. There are many churches who will not accept this and they teach an easy and weak Christianity. There are churches who preach a form of Christianity but there is no life or genuine reality - Sunday Christians, as it says in 2 Timothy 3

2nd Tim. three:one to fifteen "But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times will come: For people will be lovers of self ,....lovers of pleasure instead of lovers of God, having a type of religion but denying its power. And from such people, you should steer clear of."

I often tell people I chat to, "Christianity is usually not what we've been told it is; forget the do's & don'ts and the traditions". Christianity is about something new and alive - when an individual lives their life with God as 'the Boss', it transforms them.

Lots of people say "Oh yes I'm a Christian" and as I observe their way of life I wonder upon what evidence they can really say this, as they do not live a thing like what Jesus told us to. Yet they said they're a devotee of Him, or this means that call themselves a Christian.

'A Christian' is one, who is one, and not just someone who tells us they are one. If I was to declare long and loud that I was an American, it means nothing, I am still Australian; yet this is what many do - declaring themselves to be a Christian when they are not at all, they have not done what was required to be one. If you do not agree to, and abide by, the rules of any club, you will not be accepted in. I mean, what is a Christian if we do not follow the Book - Bible, about what they are?

Romans 2:13 For it is not merely knowing what God requires of us that brings God's approval.

Those who obey God's requirements will be declared acceptable by God. You are not a 'Christian' until you actively do something, for instance a commitment or pledge to God that is permanent. Not just going to church on Sundays.

Life After Death: Do You Believe In It?

By Florence H Axford


Ever wondered what your life after death is? Do you often ask yourself exactly where would you be after your breath was already taken away from you? To go past the boundaries of life, to go beyond death itself is an enigma that one will never understand unless you, yourself, experience it.

Discussions About Life After Death

There are various theories concerning life after death. The holy book tells us that our soul and spirit goes back onto the hands of our creator while our physique turn back into earth. Yet another talks about reincarnation, in which our spirits will once again be born into this world under a different persona. But no matter what theory experts give us, no person could really give complete proof. For none of us has ever experienced it yet.

The subject concerning life after death had turn out to be fairly an interesting topic in the field of science and religion. And as we all know, both these bodies are in continuous turmoil with each other. The first believed in scientific facts that where countless experimented on; whereas the latter believed in the power of one mighty being - God. They've been on constant discussion if such a thing really does exist. Or if it's only some sort of imagination our creative minds have given us over many years. In search for answers of what lies beyond the borders of life and death.

Life After Death: Could It Be Even True?

Life and death are polar opposites. But I could also find them as twins. One comes into the world to give; the other was born to take. One is the beginning and the other is the ending. An endless cycle that each living organism whether big or small is actually a part of. Never breaking its cycled pattern.

Mankind are often afraid of things that we don't know of. The fear of the unknown is a common trait engraved in us. That is why, we learn how to adapt to certain factors that hold threat to our lives. We learned how to be creative; we learned how to be positive. That even after death, there's something good waiting for us.

Here Are Some Simple Steps In Making A Voodoo Doll

By Jade Davidson


The beginnings of voodoo as well as the existence of the voodoo dolls cannot be traced, but what is known is that it has been in existence for thousands of years already. The only historical facts that can be found about voodoo is that it has existed for thousands of years already. This has become duly modernized and mixed with other religions. Full understanding on why the voodoo doll is essential is best in becoming a good voodoo practitioner. In America and many other Western countries, voodoo flourished as the African slavery was practiced. The slaves supposedly used this practice to threaten their masters who were very superstitious. We all know that witches and any form of witchcraft always caused 'alarm' to many people hundreds of years ago. Eventually, many whites practiced voodoo and have mixed it with Catholicism. In America, Marie Laveau was the most feared voodoo practitioner. She was constantly sought by many white clients, there were even some who learned how to do voodoo from her. Her popularity and her practice gave birth to a new form of voodoo - the New Orleans Voodoo since it has been known in the 18th and 19th century to be the home of the most powerful voodoo priests.

To date, the New Orleans voodoo doll has become the simplest type of voodoo doll to create. Here are the directions on how to make a New Orleans style voodoo doll:

Have the following ready: -2 strong sticks, the other should be longer than the other - spanish moss, enough to cover the whole length and width to be made from the sticks - left over fabric, you should follow the meaning of the colors in voodoo like - blue (love), green (money), red (power), purple (psychic development and dreams, commanding presence), black (repelling negativity) -yarn (to represent the hair), string, hemp cord or waxed thread -2 beads, buttons, or black eyed peas that will become the eyes of your doll needle and thread in a color to match or contrast your fabric -glue

Steps in how to make a voodoo doll:

Make a cross shaped figure with the sticks. The shorter sticks will be the 'hands' Use a string to tie them. Make sure that they're securely tied. Get the Spanish moss and wrap it all around the cross stick. Then get the fabric strips and wrap those to the spanish moss. You can also have the option to add real hair with the spanish moss to make sure that you have secured a personal property of that person inside the doll. Make eyes by attaching the beads, buttons or the peas to the 'face', then you can personalize the voodoo doll by adding more personal belongings of the person to the voodoo doll. It is very important for you to have intense concentration while you are making the voodoo doll.

The Real Voodoo That Wasn't Highlighted By Hollywood

By Jade Davidson


Is voodoo the only religion or spiritual belief that makes images that can contain spirits? No. As we are aware, catholics make statues of saints that are considered as holy to their standards. The muslims also have certain images such as the crescent and certain holy pictures that are said to be blessed. The same is true for the buddhists, taoists, and hindu faiths. The problem is that voodoo has recieved a very ugly publicity, one that is distorted by movie makers.

Voodoo actually has two 'main dolls' that serve different purposes. The first is the ever famous voodoo doll, which is said to possibly bless or harm an individual. The second type of doll is the ju-ju doll, which is considered a guardian doll to ward off evil forces. Let's differentiate the two.

The voodoo dolls can be created from different materials. These materials are clay, wood, paper, root, wax, and cloth. The voodoo doll can serve two purposes - as lucky charms and fetishes, or as a representation of another person. This representation of the 3rd party can cause the person to be blessed, healed, and also to be cursed and harmed.

Now, let me introduce you to the ju-ju guardian doll. These are possessed by people who want to receive luck. This is a charm doll that can be used as an amulet. These are blessed (by you, or a voodoo doctor) and will keep you safe at all times. There are also different kinds of ju-ju guardian dolls. There are ju-ju guardian dolls that bring health, wealth, love, and power. There are 3 primary colors for these ju-ju guardian dolls - green represents faith, gold represents power, purple represents justice. These ju-ju guardian dolls are very good for people who want to enjoy success in the aspect aimed targeted.

The mysterious art and belief that comes with voodoo is an aspect that is not widely explored. This may be due to the fear that a person may feel while learning more about it. Many label it as a cursed person's path, and constantly avoid it. But voodoo is not always being practiced to harm people, therefore, we must accept whatever belief the other people choose for themselves.

An Essential Guide To Ancient North African Deity Clothing

By Gamal Rasheed


The pantheon of the Egyptians contained numerous deities, but Bastet was given the primary position. She was portrayed to have a cat-head, due to which Egyptians placed cats in a place of reverence. As decades passed by, her clothing underwent a constant change so that its portrayal also kept changing.

The initial picture of this god showed the formidable form of a lioness. But later, with the domestication of cats as the Egyptian people started liking them, this deity was rendered to show a cat-headed lady rather than the formidable lioness.

Bubastis, a temple of Bastet was built by the Egyptians. There were scores of idols within the temple showing this cat-headed goddess. An in depth observation of these idols has helped historians to discover the way the god was usually attired.

The majority of the statues depict her as a cat headed woman although there are some exceptions in which she is depicted as a leopard and in some older statues as a lion. The trademark statue had the head of a cat upon a body of a youthful woman.

The clothing of the deity was decorative with lots of stylish features added to make it intricate. A small purse carried by her adorned many of the sculpted images, whereas a few others portrayed her holding a musical instrument namely, the Sistrum in one of her arms whereas, she has a tender basket worn on the other arm.

Also part of her attire was a breastplate that formed the center of her attire. According to Egyptian mythology this deity had a love for music and dance. She was also regarded as having a generous nature while being very rich as well. Actually the basket that the statue of Bastet was wearing was meant to represent the bountiful harvest which the goddess was associated with.

The temple dedicated to the god had many living species of Egyptian cats in reverence of the goddess herself. Archeologists have been able to find thousands of mummified bodies of cats from the temple of Bubastis which was considered as being a burial ground for domesticated cats in Egypt.

A bronze sculpture clothed in the regular style was supposed to be empowered to bring luck, and so many Egyptians took possession of them. Many people offered these bronze sculptures within the temple. Therefore, many of them reaching to thousands have been found by archaeologists in the temple.

Cats attained a unique place amongst the Egyptians because of Bastet. There were special laws in place that protected cats. Any person who would intentionally harm a cat was to be punished and similarly they had elaborate burial rituals for when a domesticated cat died in a family.

Experience Yourself Near Death

By Elaine M Tiedemann


Being near death is not something that you should be scared of. In fact, if you start preparing your own self on what comes after life there is no need to fear death. Since death is something that is definitely a part of cycle. When 1 is born, another dies. And when one dies, another lives. It is a never ending cycle that distinguishes the beginning and end of everything.

Near Death Experiences: Hoax or Truth?

Many people confessed of experiencing this phenomenon widely known as Near Death Experience (NDE). All these individuals caught a peek at what dead people were supposed to see after their lives had ended. They saw the "light". They saw past the limits but were privileged enough to come back to their original bodies and live to tell their very own testimonies. No one knows if such thing exists. But analysts genuinely consider that certain humans possess the capability to see what lies beyond death.

Be Closer, Be Near Death

If you were to ask yourself, would you really believe that it exists? Would you think all these tales regarding death's boundaries or life's light? With some help with international or even local movie films which had carressed such subject, your belief could possibly be affected. Yes, you would believe on them for a short while. But it would eventually pass and be forgotten as if such a thing does not exist.

Ample studies were presented in order to explain Near Death Encounters. But none of them had been fully proved. More facts is necessary. Much more proofs of it need to be provided. Not only testimonies from the people but actual live manifestations that there lies a boundary beyond death. And what is inside that border is yet to be discovered.

Life and death are linked with one another. The two could also be explained with Newton's law of motion. "That in every single action, there is certainly an exact but opposite reaction." If 1 was bound to die today, another will take its place. When and where, we all don't know. That is the mystery of life and death. And each time we talk about this mystery, there's a lot of questions that are raise and adds to the unanswered thoughts concerning life and death.

Stressful Days? Learn How To Live Stress-Free

By Andy McDonald


One of the worst parts about stress is that it can arrive in many forms and show up at any time. Just when you think things are going well, you can enter into a bad situation and stress will piggyback right in on it. If you have problems with stress, these tips may be able to help you get rid of it.

In order to reduce stress in your life, avoid bottling up your feelings. Instead, say what is on your mind in a caring and respectful way so that people know how your are feeling. Keeping your feelings to yourself can often lead to resentment and anger, whereas open communication can help you find solutions to even the most complex problems and situations.

Simplify the things in your life. Start with your bedroom closet, and go from there. Eliminate the many things that you do not use. You will quickly see that many of the things around your house are just clutter and serve absolutely no purpose in your life. De-cluttering will lessen the stress in your life.

Try a tonic or other form of homeopathic medicine in order to reduce stress. Research shows that these types of medicine and natural substances go a long way in helping your stress level. Kava Kava and other herbal extracts also can help your stress level immensely. Try homeopathic medicine, and see what you think.

A great way to help you fight stress is to substitute walking for driving whenever you can. Everyone knows that driving can be a highly stressful activity. You can bypass all of that by simply walking to where you need to go instead. You'll feel much better and your stress will go down.

A great tip that can help you keep your stress levels down is to eliminate caffeine from your diet. Even though drinking coffee has become so popular these days, getting too much caffeine can have serious side effects. Cutting out caffeine will help you feel much less anxious.

Delegate! It's easy to become overwhelmed when we attempt to retain personal control of every aspect of our lives. The result can be stress. Break jobs up into small doable portions and spread them around amongst your subordinates and coworkers at work. There is only so much on person can do!

Take several deep breaths from your diaphragm. Research shows that deep breathing oxygenates your blood, which can help to relax you almost instantly. This is a great way to reduce, or sometimes even eliminate, the negative feels that stress causes. Try slow inhalations, through the nose, for optimum results.

To help yourself relax during a long day at work, be sure to leave the office for lunch. Even if you just step outside to eat your bagged lunch in the park, getting away from your office can do wonders to decrease your stress. A 15 to 20 minute break from your environment makes a long day a whole lot easier to cope with.

A great way to deal with your stress is to get regular exercise. Try jogging, biking or swimming three to five days a week for about thirty minutes. In response to exercise, your brain releases endorphins, which help lift your mood and reduce your stress. Not only will you feel better, but you will get in better shape.

Do not carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Doing this usually not only requires you to take on too much of your own stress but also has you taking on other people's stress as well. Adjust your way of thinking, your attitude, and allow yourself to relax and handle life the way it should be handled.

Aromatherapy is a great way to reduce stress levels and create a relaxing atmosphere for you. Relaxation is different than resting. Aromatherapy consists of many different options, including smelling different herbs and burning different incenses. Certain herbs and incenses can help relax you and provide a rather euphoric and concentrated thought process.

A great tip that can help to you keep your stress levels down is to take a hot bath. The hot water will make you feel relaxed and you'll forget about all of your troubles. Taking a hot bath can help keep your stress in check and it's something you can do everyday.

If the weather is nice outside at night, look up at the stars in the sky. This will help you to realize how large the universe is and why the problems you have should be put in perspective. Also, this beautiful scenery can help to improve the way that you feel.

Stress has a tendency to show up when you least expect it and most certainly when you are expecting it. It's funny that way; stress just loves to show up period. You can take control of your life, though, and fight those stressful feelings by using the tips you've read in the above article.

Even if you're attending an official class, it is essential for you to have the proper amount of self discipline to dedicate toward your habitual study times. The main reason many people fail at learning a new language is that they approach it half-heartedly and only study when they feel like it. After routine listening and speaking, you learned the language you grew up speaking. While it might not be feasible for you to entirely immerse yourself in Italian, it is crucial for you to be able to devote the proper amount of time to it that it becomes forefront in your mind. Make sure you study a little Italian every day, even if you only have a few minutes for every session.

There are many areas in the United States, Europe and other places where Italian speaking immigrants live, and spending time in these areas can expose you to the language and give you a chance to practice it. You can locate shops and restaurants that owned by Italian people and even Italian language newspapers and magazines. Just being exposed to Italians on a daily basis will help you so if you live near Italian neighborhoods you should visit as much as possible.

Jesus Teachings on Discipleship

By Mercy Nikenya


Jesus had called disciples to help him in his works, he chose folks of different classes with no regard for their status in the society. Indeed His first followers were fishermen who were less regarded in the Jewish society. Jesus had to tell them what true discipleship was as they could miss to understand the real meaning of it and believe that they had a better chance in entering the kingdom of heaven. Have you read about discipleship in Christian forums or other christian websites?

Does it mean that one is free from all troubles of the world by being a disciple of Jesus Christ? Many people desired to be followers of Jesus Christ thinking that they had a better chance of inheriting the kingdom of heaven, as they associated themselves with the son of God, but what did Jesus teach them about true discipleship?

One was to be prepared to leave everything; Jesus told them that they ought to be ready to leave everything of their possession, including their families, wealth and anything they valued. John, James and peter were prepared to leave their nets and their work of fishing to follow Jesus. Like his true disciples who abandoned their works to follow him, we should too be ready to do so. By that I mean we ought to be ready to put God's work first.

One was expected to show love for all; true discipleship required one to be of great love for all, Jesus showed love for all, he spent most of his time with sinners than spiritual leaders, this made people to nick-name him 'a friend of sinners.' He comments in the Luke's gospel that one had to have love for his brother, his own wife and children and even love oneself to qualify to be his disciple. He asked them to love their enemies and pray for them; do you show love for all people despite some of them being your enemies?

Jesus guaranteed them to expect rejection and opposition; a true disciple was expected to face opposition and rejection from the people around them. Like when a friend retires from a wicked group and searches for deliverance, the members will say all sorts of bad things about her or him and even hate him/her. Similar to the mission of evangelizing the word of God to other folks, the disciples were told to expect cruel times and conditions, as not all people could allow them in their land and welcome them in their homes.

They were expected to give freely and expect nothing in return; a real disciple of Jeus was expected to perform works of charity to those in need and expect nothing in return, like in the example of John and Peter when they healed the person at Jerusalem temple's entrance, they went and did it for no payment as this was God given, it should not be charged for in exchange. Christians should too do the same and avoid trading on the gifts given by them.

Through All World History God Has Fundamentally Unveiled Himself To Human beings In A Reasonably Obnubilate Way

By Neil Baulch


Part 7. That is the reason why God does not show Himself completely to us, to the point at which there's no longer any doubt about His existence and character, because if He came as a super hero with all His capabilities and displayed them in public then all humankind would know without question that He existed and would follow Him for fear of going to hell. (I will explain what 'hell' is in a later article) Where is the real relationship in that? Or the genuine religion?

God is a god of faith, it takes effort to believe and we are to be the equivalent. When you study it, where would the pleasure be, in everyone telling you that they adore you and want to be with you, desperate of fear - simply to fend off hell? I desire my children to obey my directions because they honour and love me not because they're terrified.

This is why God has shown Himself to man through history (see timeline) in a comparatively little way, and why Jesus, when He came, came as a servant and not a super hero in an impressive way to blind all humankind forever.

Some say to me "Oh, I believe in God but I don't need to go to church to prove it." Sure, going to church doesn't prove that we have a belief in God, but the actual problem here is - to believe in God is to Act, it is not something passive. Say, for-instance, you did a great thing for another person at massive expense to yourself, you would expect some type of gratitude and recognition. God also , having paid a great price for us, expects some type of appreciation - He expects us to give over our life to working for Him and His plan for mankind.

I need to explain that when I quote the Bible, I am I am referencing God's words, not just some ancient book that has suffered many trials over the centuries and is now an undependable list or diverse old mens imagination's. A dependable Bible timeline chart will exhibit the consistency of what I am saying. (I can provide you with evidence of the genuineness of the Bible as being from God if you want to see it). The Bible calls itself the 'Living Words of God ' in one Timothy 3 16 in the NT.

The Truth About Voodoo

By Jade Davidson


If you search the internet about voodoo, you'll find out that the most searched terms are these: voodoo dolls, how to make voodoo dolls, and of course how to use voodoo dolls and how to do voodoo. These will be our topic for this article.

We have many misconceptions on voodoo because we have been fed by the Hollywood movies that portray voodoo as a very harmful and evil thing to pursue. We think that voodoo invokes evil spirits that causes harm to other people. While this is a possibility, this is highly discouraged in the practice of voodoo since the real voodoo discourages the black magical arts. This is very similar to Hinduism and Catholicism, voodoo has many statues that are represents the loas or the deity, the lesser gods. They are here, waiting for us to call upon them - spirits that are earth bound. It was man's evil desire that prompted him to use voodoo as an evil tool for revenge. The real practitioners of voodoo wants a peaceful relationship with everybody. It doesn't seek to destroy but to heal.

Many voodoo practitioners don't use voodoo dolls by pricking them. Although this is a wide practice, many voodoo practitioners use the voodoo dolls as lucky charms and amulets. These are kept and as much as possible, always held with them so that negative forces will just be at bay. The voodoo dolls are mainly used to heal other people and many other good reasons too.

If there is a religion that is quite similar with voodoo, this is the religion practiced by the native Indians in the USA. Why did the latter religious belief never receive negative attention from the media? Why is it that voodoo seemed to claim all of the negative reputation? The reason for that is that voodoo has been developed by the Africans when slavery flourished. Since superstition and witch craft was highly feared during ancient days, the African slaves used their knowledge of how to do voodoo to scare their white masters. The voodoo dolls then became very famous for being a witch's tool for torture.

Be reminded of the fact that any magical and supernatural force has noble roots. While it has started out as a means to spread goodness, it can possess negative vibrations to do exactly the opposite. If used to manipulate people and bring bad luck to others. The law of karma will be felt in many ways - either you will have conflicts, mishaps, and become uncontented and unhappy for the rest of your life. The decision is always ours to make. There isn't any potion or protection spell that can prevent the law of karma to be at work.

How an Spiritual Guide Can Help Find Yourself

By Wayne Stanford


To develop in spiritualism in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a immense task. Modern distractions like 9-hour workdays and bills, we have bond our focus mostly to material things. As a result, our concepts of self-worth and meaning are misplaced these days in society. How can we achieve a balance in this day and age? However, you can go online these days and find out through the use of a spiritual guide or connect with one of the many spiritual communities. Nevertheless, before that, let us reflect on ourselves.

Looking inside yourself goes beyond recalling the things that happened in a day, week, or month. You need to look closely and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Periodically examining your experiences, the decisions you decide on , strengthening relationships with friends and loved ones, and also conversing with an online spiritual guide can help. Here are several pointers when you are searching for yourself: be objective, be forgiving of yourself, and lock on your areas for advancement.

When it comes to spiritualism and people like yourself, religion and science have differing views on matters of the human spirit. Established religion views people as spiritual beings temporarily existing on this world, while science views the spirit as just one dimensional plane of an individual. Mastery of the self is a continual theme in both Western and Eastern teachings. The needs of the body are recognized but placed under the inner needs. Beliefs, values, morality, rules, experiences, and good work provide the draft to secure the growth of oneself.

Whether we judge that life's meaning is predetermined or self-directed, to grow in spiritualism is to realize that we do not merely live. We do not know the full meaning of our lives at birth; but we gain knowledge and wisdom from our interactions with people and from our actions and reactions to the situations we are in. As we get to know more about this meaning, there are sure beliefs and values that we reject and affirm. Our lives have purpose. This purpose puts all our physical, emotional, and intellectual potentials into use; sustains us during trying times; and gives us something to look forward to---a goal to reach, a destination to reach. A lone individual without purpose or meaning is like a drifting boat at sea.

If you still feel like you need more to find yourself, go online and find it. There are plenty of resources out there that can help you achieve your goals of discovering yourself. A start would be to seek out others with the same goal. A suggested move would be that of joining online spiritual communities or forums for discussions on the matter.

Simple Ways to Learn Sign Language Today

By Ronny Moss


When you learn sign language, you have to relearn your whole approach to speaking. Communicating with your hands instead of your focal chords will feel natural before long-but at first it will feel quite strange. Like many other things in life, it's a matter of learning a new way of doing things. If you apply some of the tips we'll cover in this article, you will find that learning sign language can be quite simple.

Learning sign language is similar to learning any new language in many ways. The most important factor is how much time you spend practicing what you're learning, for one thing. Attending a class only once or twice a week, or opening a book occasionally, will make it very hard to retain anything. Learning a language requires daily practice, regardless of whether it is spoken or signed. You may want to seek out people who know sign language if you don't have anyone else to practice with. Whether you know them or not, chances are there are people in your area who use it. Look online or ask about deaf communities near you and attend events where sign language is used.

You may be able to learn sign language at a local community college or adult education class. These are good introductions to sign language, and you will have the opportunity to practice with classmates and learn from a qualified instructor. These types of classes are not normally meant for people who need to be certified for a career as an interpreter... for those, you generally must attend a university program. To learn the basics of sign language, however, these classes can be very effective. You can learn a lot and meet others to practice with, even if the class is only for a few months. Taking a class is a good way to start learning sign language.

Sign language can be accompanied by spoken words when you talk to hearing impaired people. Of course, when deaf people speak to each other, they only sign, but someone who is able to speak should do so, as many deaf people can also read lips. This is especially helpful when you're just starting to learn sign language and are likely to be slow and make mistakes.By signing and speaking together, you will also be helping yourself learn as you practice making the signs and saying the words at the same time. In general, it can be helpful to use spoken language along with signing as you learn sign language.

Learning sign language does take time and effort just like any other skill-but if you're committed to it, it's not that hard. The more you practice it, the faster you will pick it up. As you begin to study this fascinating language, the principles we've covered will help you out. After a bit, you'll discover that you can sign without thinking too much about it-but it will take work to get to that point!

By Gilbert Karlis


Learning to Relate Having a Leo sun sign in the Workplace

Four Issues the Conscious Leader Have to Know in Working With a Leo (sun sign Western Zodiac):

1. Know That the Leo Considering Mind Works

Leo Masculine Mind (thinking mind) looks in at the Feminine Mind (feeling mind), makes a fantasy of what's possible, then takes the fantasy out and diagnostic tests it from the world. Then, he brings it back in and repeats the process. This type of considering is known as Bi-directional Association or Leo CType. Due to this method of thinking, the CType creates its unique globe with everything connected to everything else. In essence, Leo becomes god in its universe. Unlike Aquarius Zodiac sun sign, that's run by the universe, this CType makes and runs its personal universe.

2. Know Popular Leo Traits

Leo traits and characteristics are usually a purpose in the Bi-directional Association thinking mind. This CType is prone to thoroughness including a high degree of self-assurance. Thus this CType is always regarded as a leader, whilst he or she may perhaps not view himself or herself in that light. Because Leo creates everything it knows, it is not aware of items that it did not create. Although Aquarius CType (Leo's Opposite) is really aware from the world, this CType is not. Leo might have problem understanding people, specifically why others don't believe as he or she does. And if this CType doesn't understand people, Leo will believe that persons do not realize him or her.

3. Know How Leo Traits May Manifest inside Workplace Mainly because this CType is god in its universe, you can forget about winning an argument with Leo. For this CType, if some thing is not component with the universe it has created, it is nonexistent or just plain baloney. Leo only believes within the points he or she has created. Also, since this CType is in a constant nation of creation, he or she may find it tough to perform a task. He or she will desire to add to the creation, being far more thorough. Following all, god is by no means finished making the universe.

4. Know How Leo Profile Makes Problems For Itself and Others inside Workplace Problems for this CType emerge as soon as it does too much Bi-directional Association thinking. Being in charge of an ever-expanding universe can turn into a daunting life task. As much more and a lot more layers of complexity are added to this person's universe, it will start to consider heavy with responsibility, weighted down. A little much more complexity as well as the pounds on the world can be on this CType's shoulders. Leo may perhaps think as although there's no escape from his or her self-created mental prison.

At work, too a lot Bi-directional Association thinking commonly manifests as high levels of stress, issue relating with others, depressed physical activity, and feelings of loss of control. To your Conscious Leader, one of the most method to support a Leo at jobs is to help him or her to move toward his or her Opposite CType thinking/behavior, Aquarius CType.

Authentic Psychic Readings: Hunt For Truth And Trust

By Tana Hoy


Authentic psychic readings may help you to recognize and clarify your options in any given situation. There are, however, psychic readings can be a hit and miss experience especially if you take the chance and try psychic readings in the internet. It is necessary that before you try any psychic readings whether it is online, on the phone, or in person, that you know who you are trusting to give you the recommendations. Just because the person claims to be psychic doesn't mean they are knowledgeable or sanctified, nor does it equate they are adept psychics. Check the person's website and credentials. There should be a comments page telling you of the psychics work and his or her client's experiences.

Authentic psychic readings tend to vary in price. The varying price for psychic readings does not appear to reflect the amount of psychic information of received. Just because one psychic charges more than another it does not mean the most expensive is the best. Some psychics offer a few short lines for their email psychic readings for the same price as another psychic, who will take the time to recommend suggestions and help when you need it most.

Be aware that some psychics use Internet psychic readings as a way of drawing you into another, longer, and more expensive consultation. Use your own psychic ability. If there is a photograph of the psychic take a look and see how you feel. Look at the array of psychic readings options and choose one that best suits your needs. Before attempting any psychic readings use your intuition to get a sense of the person you are putting your trust in. Light feelings often indicate positive psychic energy, while heavy feelings can mean negative psychic energy.

Psychic readings are a great way to gather information and can be enlightening when re-read at a later date. Often psychic readings can be full of information that does not make sense at the time. By keeping a record of your psychic readings you can look back and note when events or issues occurred. It is often easier in hindsight to interpret what a psychic has seen for you. However, if any information you received during your psychic readings does not feel right then do not accept it. Always remember that you have choices. It is your choice to accept or to refuse the information that comes to you.

A psychic can make mistakes and your psychic readings interpretation can have many different explanations. You can choose to disregard the interpretation of the psychic and replace it with your own.

Your potential future can be revealed by a variety of ways, psychic readings being one way. For instance, imagine taking the freeway to a particular destination. The psychic reading might specify the freeway and the destination, but freedom of choice gives you the option of selecting an exit. Your options can be exposed by your psychic readings, even speculate which you will take and what your ultimate destination will be. But the whole point of being on earth is "Freedom Of Choice!".

The Internet is a wonderful way to bring psychic readings into your home. Online psychic readings are a useful service for those who need help with issues too overwhelming to deal with alone and can serve as a confirmation of your intuition.

Remember that any information you receive during your authentic psychic readings is individual to you and on some level is for your highest good. If you receive anything that you deem to be negative or the individual who is giving you the psychic reading is not in his or her integrity then just delete the information you receive and visualize a light shower around yourself to dissolve the negative energy.

Vedic Astrology Horoscope - Sun in Cancer - Venus - Moon - A lot more on Saturn

By Bond Jones


The Sun has entered Cancer inside Sidereal zodiac, bringing a powerful tendency to nurture and emotionally protect our loved ones. Once the Sun goes via Cancer the quality of divine motherhood is awakened in each of us -- at least which is the potential. Suddenly there is a renewed sensitivity to all of us as children. There is a great possibility for all to lay down their weapons and sympathize with their enemies for the next couple of weeks.

Cancer will be the sign of sensitivity, compassion and motherhood. It's ruled by the moon, the globe of selfless love, nurturing and peace. This can be different than the kind of adore we have in relationships which are transactional in nature. Relationship adore is in between 2 equals, 2 grown-ups. In relationship love, every individual has to retain up their part in the bargain, whatever that "bargain" is. Every relationship has several boundaries which are negotiated and, even so strange individuals boundaries may well look to outsiders, as extended as the 2 partnered agree from the terms, and honor them - there is normally smooth sailing.

This is what creates the relationship household (seventh house) a secondary organization / career house. We use the exact same negotiating skills at our career that we use in our romantic relationship - following all, folks are people. The larger trouble in relationships is our capability to compromise and satisfy our demands along with accommodate an additional person's. Individuals who are able to yield their demands with dignity do well in relationships. But this takes an authentic would like to please others combined with an both authentic intuition which knows wherever to draw the line and can draw that line with no anger or excessive ego.

However, the potential to play fair and negotiate and uphold common boundaries, etc. will likely be quite damaging inside a parent / infant relationship. Once a parent starts demanding the infant treat them as an equal, at least as soon as they're young, there can be very good harm done. Of course, once the infant grows up into teenage many years and beyond the relationship starts to develop and mature. But still, the parent must usually put the needed the child ahead of their own. Fortunately, nature creates this simple -- once the baby begins to grow up and develop their individual personality, numerous immature parents stop serving the baby / selflessly loving the infant - and begin to very much of harm.

Negotiating appropriate relationship boundaries are related to Venus and powerfully expressed from your Cardinal sign she rules, Libra - the sign of relationships. And, as was said, the Moon rules selfless parental love that only knows how to give. The mother loves the child no matter what the child does. But this shows the inherent struggle between Venus and the moon - the inherent struggle in between selfless love and conditional love.

It's quite easy to mix these 2 items up in our mind. When relationships turn into dominated by a selfless, parental type of love -- is only a matter of time prior to it starts to think like abuse for 1 and co-managing for your other. There has to be accountability first, only then can romantic love turn out to be selfless, devoted love. Similarly if the parent / child love is as well transactional, having a parent always insisting upon the immature mind on the baby being accountable for their emotional mistakes, as we would expect from our partner, much difficulty arises also. Without having the paradigm of selfless adore from the parent/child relationship, the parent just isn't able to insist upon accountability with out the baby feeling attacked.

This is an critical problem at this time with Venus about to go retrograde to the sign of Cancer. In Vedic astrology both the moon and the Sun are enemies of Venus. This enmity is expressed in a variety of ways. The influence on the moon on Venus (including occupying the sign of Cancer) is to confuse the transactional nature and expectation of adult relationship boundaries with the utterly selfless, caretaking, maternal nature of the moon. The influence with the Sun on Venus (including occupying the sign of Leo) is to insist upon a passionate, fiery and romantically accountable nature.

These themes will play out inside upcoming Venus retrograde cycle discussed last week in this newsletter.

The upcoming Venus retrograde cycle will mirror the recent Saturn retrograde cycle and also foreshadow next year's Mars/Ketu conjunction at 28 Cancer. There's one more extremely significant factor that need to be kept in mind relative to this Saturn / Venus relationship.

Parents We Need Your Help

By Emily Fiser


According to the White House's Office of national Drug Control Policy strategy update released in February, parents are the most important role models in children's lives. When a family has strong convictions against the use of these substances based on "family" values "What will my parents think?" is generally the first thought process when a child is making crucial decisions on whether or not to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

One such growing problem that the police departments are seeing with teens happens to a simple household item- cough syrup. 10 percent of teens report having used cough medicine to get high and 50 percent of those teens strongly disagree that using cough medicine to get high is risky.

A great way to start opening an avenue for discussion could be over dinner, games, while driving, and or when you see a group of people such as teenagers drinking and hanging out. When you ask how your child's day was look them in the eye and really listen. Knowing who your child's friends are and inviting them over will also help you to know what your kids might be involved in.

In recent years there has also been an increase of prescription drugs being abused. Prescription drugs , can be quite powerful that is why they require a person to consult with a doctor on what medication they need, how it should be taken and whether there is potential for interactions with other medicines the person may be taking. Prescription medicines are made to be safe when following a doctor's advice and the directions are followed.

Abuse of prescription drugs come into play in many ways. Others take or share relatives' prescription medications without knowing what effects they might have on the body. Some people who have one prescription may go to several different doctors for prescriptions, not telling any one doctor about their other medications. Another easy way a person might start with abusing their medication would be to simply take more than the doctor prescribed.

Using medications in any way other than prescribed is extremely dangerous. Prolonged use of many prescription medicines can lead to addiction, and when medicines dosage is changed to achieve a high, or they are combined with alcohol or other drugs it can become not only addictive but extremely dangerous.

Give your children the facts- if they use drugs they will not get a drivers license, they will not be playing sports, running on the beach, dating, or going to college. Drugs are illegal, you could see jail time, fines, and by using a drug even just one time can make you do something that you will regret for a lifetime. Let your children know they DO HAVE A CHOICE choose freedom, not drugs!

Techniques to Learn Sign Language Easily

By Alexander Barraud


When you learn sign language, you have to relearn your whole approach to speaking. Communicating with your hands instead of your focal chords will feel natural before long-but at first it will feel quite strange. It's a matter of learning a new way of doing things, like anything else. If you apply some of the tips we'll cover in this article, you will find that learning sign language can be quite simple.

When you decide you want to learn sign language, you first have to figure out which variety you want to learn. Just like spoken languages, there are many different sign languages. There are different varieties even among those who speak English. There are even American and British variations of sign language, as well as a simplified version known as Pidgin Signed English. Where you live or plan to use sign language will determine which version of sign language you learn. There are common elements to the different English based sign languages, so once you know one, you would find it possible to communicate at a basic level with people who spoke a different type.

Because sign language uses hand signals for letters and words, you should probably begin by learning the alphabet. Finger spelling is one of the most fundamental and important skills in sign language because it can be used when you either don't know or forget the sign for particular words. Master letters quickly by using a sign language letter chart. This is something you should memorize as soon as possible, as it's a basic skill you need for sign language. You can find an alphabet chart in many bookstores, or even download one from a website.

When you learn sign language, you have to understand that because words aren't spoken, facial expressions become very important. While the literal meaning of words are conveyed with the hands, deaf people are used to expressing themselves with facial expressions more than other people. This means that when you communicate with sign language, you have to be sure that your facial expressions match your words. On a similar note, eye contact is very important when talking to hearing impaired people. Though some of these aspects of learning sign language are challenging, it is good to know about them.

It might feel as though it's a little difficult to learn sign language in the beginning. As soon as you have some of the basics master it will begin to feel and flow much more naturally. Practice is important with sign language just as it would be with any new language. It's important to follow these tips to make learning sign language easier but you'll never master it without practicing.

Learn Sign Language - 3 Proven Strategies

By Alexander Barraud


Learning sign language doesn't have to be difficult, but it will take practice and a new way of thinking if you're not used to it. We will cover several methods which can help you learn quickly, whether you want to learn it for career reasons or to communicate with a hearing impaired person in your life. Learning sign language will feel just as natural as talking does now, once you get the hang of it.

The way you learn sign language will depend on your reason for learning it. If you are doing it as a hobby, or maybe to talk to a deaf friend, you can learn at your own pace. You'll need to be certified, however, if you're learning to become an interpreter or for other career reasons.This normally means taking classes at a university, though nowadays accredited programs are also available online. The very nature of sign language, however, makes it easier to learn in a physical classroom, as you have to watch the instructor very carefully. You can still pick this up watching through your computer if taking classes in person can't work for you. Many schools offer sign language certification if this is your goal.

It's a good idea to find a partner to practice sign language with since it requires a good deal of practice to use effectively. In addition to regular practice sessions you might want to either download the same program or take a class together. Your learning partner can be someone you meet for coffee regularly, someone who works with you, or even a family member or friend who also wants to learn sign language. A partner will not only help keep you motivated to learn but will also keep you practicing. If you can't seem to find a practice partner among friends and family, put social networks to work for you and advertise online for one. It's easier to learn to sign when you have someone else learning along with you.

When you talk to hearing impaired people, you can use sign language along with spoken words. Someone who can speak should do so, as many deaf people can also read lips... though of course when deaf people speak to each other they only sign. This can be very helpful when you are just starting to learn sign language and are likely to be slow and make mistakes.By signing and speaking simultaneously, you will be helping yourself learn as you practice saying the words and making the signs at the same time. It can be helpful to use spoken language along with signing as you begin to learn sign language.

There are a lot of people who use sign language as a method of communication. That is why there are so many advantages to learning the language whether for a job or for personal reasons. While sign language isn't difficult, it does require you to learn a new skill and let go of your familiar ideas about language. You should do great if you keep these great tips in mind while learning sign language.

Simple Ways to Learn Sign Language

By Davis Price


It may seem like a challenge to learn sign language, but once you get started you'll find that you can pick it up fairly easily. There are quite a few who will tell you that learning to sign is much easier than learning to speak a different language. Follow these tips to make it even easier to learn to sign. It's not rewarding on a personal level to learn sign language; there are many benefits to knowing the language in today's world.

Learning sign language is similar to learning any new language in many ways. The most important factor is how much you practice, for one thing. Only opening a book every once in a while, or attending a class once a week, will make it very hard to retain anything. Learning a new language requires practice on a daily basis, whether it's spoken or signed. You might want to find people who know sign language to practice with, if you don't know anyone else to work with. Whether or not you know them, it's likely that there are people in your area who use it. Inquire about nearby deaf communities or look online and try to attend events where sign language is used.

You might find a sign language class through a local community college or adult education center. These can be great introductions to sign language, and you will get to learn from a qualified instructor and practice with others. These classes are not normally designed for people who need certification for a career as an interpreter, as for those you have to attend a program at a university. However, to learn the basics of sign language they can be extremely effective. Even if it's only for a couple of months, you can learn a lot and meet other people who you might be able to practice with in your spare time. Taking a class is an excellent way to begin learning sign language.

If you want to learn sign language, watching as much as you can helps. Observing others is the next best thing when you can't actually practice it yourself. Look for TV programs, videos or movies that show people signing. Most TV shows today are closed captioned, meaning there is rarely a sign language interpreter. There are movies where people are signing though. If you look on the internet, you can find a variety of videos and websites that display it. You must expose yourself to sign language as much as you can if you want to learn.

In the beginning sign language may seem like it's a difficult language to learn. However, once you get comfortable with the basics, you'll find that it comes to you more easily. You'll find that practice is just as important when learning sign language as it would be when learning any new language. The preceding suggestions can simplify learning sign language, but you have to put in the time in order to become fluent at it.
