The Emotional Pain In Victims With Bipolar Disorder Symptoms

By Ken P Doyle

Can be experienced through the loss of someone you love so much, emotional pain is quite an acute feeling in the mind. These experience of pain can come from depression which is caused by fear, anxiety, disappointment and guilt. For victims going through terrible experiences the replay or the reliving of these past traumatic events can become very disabling. These disabling effects, changes moods, alters relationships, personal life and profession. What makes these pain worse is it can occupy the victims mind for some time. But, those who have bipolar disorder symptoms it is very different from the normal way we experience as this will be discussed later.

The Causes Emotional Pain?

A lot of people go through traumatic experiences during their childhood years and these can be due to a number of factors like physical abuse, being neglected, abandoned by parents, or the loss of a loved one. With adults, emotional pain can be due to the end or the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship like divorce, the loss of the source of income, becoming a victim in a violent crime and substance abuse. Most often when severe trauma has been endured, victims can be continuously inhabited by bad dreams and constant nightmares. In the case of war or rape victims mental images can be experienced on a daily basis.

Deep Emotional Pain in Bipolar

These emotional pain experienced by bipolar victims can be very deep and for some to the point it is hurting so much that they can hardly stand. The experience can be compared to someone jabbing a knife into them. This deep, deep pain can last from 10 min. to 2 hours and suddenly disappear for no obvious reason. This pain can be severe to very bad that the feeling of alienation may also accompany the emotional pain.

Past Traumas and Bipolar Depression

Because our past traumas is stored in our unconscious mind some believe this emotional pain which is caused by low self-esteem, hatred of self, deep shame, anxiety and guilt is surfaced during bipolar depression. It is believed that all of these negative emotions and thoughts may contribute greatly to both the manic and depressive episodes.

Parting Words

This emotional pain have lead a lot of people committing suicide and it is important not to be just brushed aside and be taken seriously. Using medications may be necessary for some people but, some others can go without drugs and live quite a normal life. When in a bad or severe crisis, bipolar medications can be the safest and fastest way to getting the person back to normal. All present and past issues play a very critical role in creating emotional instability and those with bipolar symptoms, their emotional pain cannot be linked back to a traumatic event. These pains seems to pop out of nowhere and disappear all of a sudden.

Astral Travel - The Secret For Beginners

By Rick J Griffiths

The last time you were having a dream where you were flying, you were experiencing what astral travel was like. Astral travel is the way the astral body moves about in the astral plane, and it does so by flying. You simply think about where it is you want to go and what it is you want and once your physical mind and body are asleep the subconscious mind and astral body are off to fulfill your desires.

It is important to know that astral travel is not the same thing as dreaming. Dreaming is a more scientific condition. It is essentially your minds way of dealing with the stresses of the day, playing them out in various ways as you dream. Regular dreaming can sometimes be remembered, and sometimes not, but there is a definite difference between that and astral travel.

The dreams that you wake up and remember really well are actual astral travel experiences. It is highly recommended that you keep a journal of these dreams. Whether you wake up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning you should write down what it is you remember. Granted at first, what you remember may not make much sense at first. However, it will all come together later down the road.

Just like regular dreams help you work out the stresses of your life, astral travel dreams also have extreme benefits. The types of astral travel experiences you have will be unique to you, as will be the benefits. This is why it is important for you to keep track of them rather than try to compare them with someone elses.

The primary benefits of writing down your astral projection experiences stem from an expansion of your spirituality. Through astral projection, you will become more aware of your surroundings and the inner workings of your soul. Once you truly know yourself, you will have an overall sense of well-being and peace. And because astral projection causes us to use parts of our brains that are seldom used, it will make you a sharper person enhancing memory and mental awareness.

A third benefit to astral travel is that it can also increase your psychic abilities. Many people who practice astral travel report having an increased ability to sense spirits, use of telepathy and precognition.

This is due to the fact that when you astral project and astral travel you are tapping into spiritual energies that you ignored before.

Even skeptics who didnt believe that astral projection and astral travel were real, experienced that ability to see and read peoples auras.

Finally, a fourth benefit that most people enjoy is the pure and simple excitement and adventure that comes with astral travel. The ability to go wherever it is they want to go and do what they want it is a freeing experience.

It is hard to believe that astral travel isnt consciously experienced by more people. Most people are simply afraid to try because they believe one must have the skills present. However, everyone is born with this ability as long as they are willing to practice it.

It is likely that youve experienced some astral travel in your lifetime, as stated above, either through your remembered dreams or daydreams. You have flown out of your body before, whether you like it or not!

The best way to gain the benefits of astral projection is to simply allow these experiences to happen freely, and try to blend with these experiences and to gain some sort of control over them. Through this mental exercise, you will get stronger in mind and body.

There are techniques that you can learn on your own through books offline or eBooks and other resources online. These were created by people who practice astral travel. Learning to astral travel is not as difficult as people want to believe that it is. This is a natural ability that you were born with, you just forgot how to use it and need to fine tune your ability.

Phil G's Simple Approach To Contacting The Afterlife

By Afterlife Phil G

An email from Milwaukee, USA asks how to rekindle a connection with a partner who recently passed away, showed 'signs' but now it seems to have stopped. And was she meant to be with him at the end?

I deal with many who distress at not being with a loved one in the final moments, but I feel they often want to spare us. In this case, I'm please she recognized the 'signs' of contact, but her concern about the signs of contact fading away are not a problem. As I share - I am sure she's just missing the signs, or expecting too much.

I know it's sad when they want to 'go home' but sometimes, we can't always do what we wish. I don't believe they hold that against us, and understand. My own father wanted to come home from hospital, but because I live a long way from his home, and there was no way we could provide care for him there, the hospital wouldn't release him.

I received an email today sharing a beautiful story. Originally, this person wrote of how distressed she was feeling. She purchase the audio "Contacting the Afterlife - a Spoken Beginners Guide" from the website (philg.net.au or afterlifephilg.com). And although she didn't think she could do it, her email today was a very excited one indeed, as she not only connected, but verified it was real. She was very surprised, and overwhelmed with joy at knowing her partner is still with her, and she can verify it!

I know if people try TOO hard, they don't get things. Or rather, they miss the subtle signs. I talk about signs usually being like a 'gentle breeze' and it's easy to miss. In this lady's case, I feel she's wanting him too strongly and missing the signs, or she's always wanting proof, and not just accepting.

If you're trying too hard, I advise you to think back to what happened when you WERE getting signs. Something happened IN YOUR MIND at the time you recognized a sign. Although something may have happened around you, there's something, in your head, an inner feeling that "It's Him". You just KNOW. Do you follow this? It FEELS different.

Embrace that feeling again. You probably want 'signs' too much. Just think about him, feel that feeling in your head that he's near, and trust him. He wants you to be strong for others, to hold and hug you and wipe your tears. Look at the simple ideas on my website, and believe the possibility that he's still with you, and verify it later.

The website has quite a bit of free information, and a link to the YouTube video called "CoffeeTime" which allows you to create a situation conducive to contacting family in the afterlife. Just ENJOY them being with you, without necessarily wanting 'a sign' - and FEEL them in your head and heart, and don't think you're imagining it, but just savour the moment. Although you may want proof for others or yourself, just for now, if you're having trouble getting a connection, I think you should NOT ask for a sign, or expect one, but get used to the different feeling in your head and heart when they're around, and the rest will happen.

So the trick here, for anyone who either wants to contact family and friends in the Afterlife, or feels they've had something already, but now feel the connection is lost, use the ideas on my website, take it step by step, don't try too hard to start with, relax, and gradually, you'll understand the connection, recognize it, and be able to verify it.

Remote Viewing Methods - A Simple Overview

By Adam G Lake

Remote viewing methods and techniques will vary. However, remote viewing is an innate ability to see or view a particular object by simply using the power of the human mind. It is somewhat likened to having an out of body experience or astral travel. Even so, they are not really the very same things. They are your natural psychic and extra sensory abilities of perception that you can develop into a skill.

Remote viewing is a natural ability which is latent in every human being. When you learn to use this talent, you can view objects which you would not ordinarily be able to see from where you are.

Remote viewing methods and indeed remote viewing itself are often considered to be farfetched ideas. As it happens, though, remote viewing is no more outlandish than say, the ability to speak or to walk on two legs.

It's remote viewing, whatever you prefer to call it.

When someone receives a mental image or a signal with no one having sent it, we call them a clairvoyant. When one person sends such an image and another receives it, we call it telepathy. When a parent feels that their child is in danger even at a great distance, we usually just shrug and say that it's some sort of parent-child bond.

The point of it all is to be open minded enough to enhance your senses of perception. You can also enhance your mind, body and soul in various other ways by being receptive to new ideas that maybe older than time and space as we know them to be.

What are some of the most common remote viewing methods?

In order to learn how to remote view you will need to find the best means of getting yourself into the right frame of mind. This means that you will need either to have developed your natural abilities of extra perception or train yourself in the matters of visualization and meditation. There are various methods and techniques of each. It is up to you to find the ones that work best for you and your lifestyle.

These are among the best remote viewing methods. Visualizations allow you to focus on whatever you'd like to remote view and meditation helps you relax deeply. It's going to take some practice to master remote viewing, so be patient and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.

There are also aids you can use to help you develop your ability to remote view. These resources include books and audio recordings.

You'll probably want to try out several different remote viewing methods to see which work the best for you. What works perfectly for one person may not at all for you and vice versa.

Learn to trust your instincts. While learning to use this psychic ability, you may see images which you can't make sense of. Just let these images come as they may " they'll become clearer the more you practice and some images which make no sense to you now may later on.

Take it a step at a time, starting small and working your way up. Build on each lesson and progress bit by bit. It's best to start with a small number of simple, easy to visualize images as you begin practicing remote viewing. Small photographs, drawings or even playing cards work well.

Place these images in sealed envelopes, place them out of your reach and try to view these images without opening the envelopes. Keep a journal of your results while you practice " this will help you to track your progression in remote viewing.

Be patient with yourself and your results while you are learning and practicing various remote viewing methods and techniques. Before long you will notice that remote viewing does become easier and you will enjoy being able to see what you want to see when you want to see it.

An Introduction To Life Insurance

By Rodney Daniel Bolton

Life insurance (or assurance) is and agreement between an insurance providing company and the individual that takes out a policy with them. The agreement is based idea that for a recurring fee, the insurance company will payout an agreed sum to the beneficiaries of the insured (most of the time this will be family) upon the insureds death.

In some countries it is normal to have funeral expenses covered in a insurance policy, but in the UK, companies tend to simply pay out a lump sum to the beneficiaries of the insured upon his/her demise.

A life insurance policy will contain contract terms and these terms will include death circumstances for which the insured will not be covered, and the ones for which they will be. Death circumstances that will generally not be covered by life insurance are suicide, riot or war.

Life based contracts will usually fall into two different categories, protection policies and investment policies. Protection policies are those that provide a benefit to those parties specified in the contract, usually a lump sum, in the event of a specified scenario. Investment policies are where the main objective is to facilitate the growth of capital by regular or single premiums. Common forms (in the US anyway) are whole life, universal life and variable life policies.

The beneficiary is the person(s) who will receive the payout upon the death of the insured person and can be changed at any time by the policy holder unless the beneficiary is irrevocable in which case the policy holder must have express permission from the beneficiary in order to make any changes regarding the beneficiary.

The policy holder and the insured are not necessarily the same person (although they usually are) but someone can take out a policy to cover someone else's life, for example, a wife could take out a policy on her husbands life, making her the policy holder and him the insured.

In these scenarios, insurance companies want to limit the people who can take out a policy another persons life to only the people who would suffer a genuine loss, emotional or otherwise, if the insured was to die. This is to stop people taking out policies on other peoples lives because this person is on the point of death but its not obvious, and to stop providing a motive to murder. People may consider taking out an insurance policy on someone who is worth a lot of money with themselves as the beneficiary and then proceed to kill that person for the cash reward. Granted this is extreme and a rarity but it had been known to happen before insurance companies clamped down.

Life insurance, like most other types of insurance is basically an agreement between the insurance provider and the insured that for a recurring fee, the aforementioned beneficiary/beneficiaries of the policy will receive the proceeds of the contract (usually a lump sum) upon the occurrence of one of the terms of the contract, in the case of life insurance, this will usually be the insureds death.

How to Get Back Together With My Ex - 5 Magical Guidelines That You Have Not Thought About

By Anne Torres

1) Avoid pleading and being that annoying ex-girlfriend who cannot get over the breakup. I'm trying to decipher how to get back together with my ex, not how to be the butt of his and his friends' jokes!

2) Return to doing the things I loved to do before he and I started dating. Yes, I want to get back together with my ex, but sitting around crying over him isn't doing me any good. I sacrificed a lot of things when we got together and I want to do something fun with my time.

3) Slowly open the lines of communication with him. I refuse to call him 100 times a day or send him a million text messages! But I will say a friendly, "Hi!" when I see him. After all, if he thinks I'm doing well and am happy, he will surely wonder why I'm so happy without him and perhaps he'll start wondering how to get back together with me.

4) I will softly let him know that I still care for him profoundly but I refuse to tie my happiness to whether I'm with him or not. I will mean this when I say it because I know it is true no matter how terrible I feel inside or how much I miss him or how much I want to get back together with my ex.

5) I am going to rejoin my old clubs and activities. After all, this is where he and I initially met - who knows? Maybe he'll join me and this will be how to get back together with my ex before too long!

While manipulating somebody is not something a person should do, sometimes we must take steps to get what we want. I hope he doesn't feel manipulated by my show of happiness without him. I just want him to see that I am still a great person who loves to have fun and he'll remember all the reasons we got together in the first place without my belittling myself or making him hate me.
