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?

Stop Negative Thinking - It Really Is Possible!

By Katherine Caren

Learning to stop negative thinking is not easy to do. After all, many of us believe all of the negative thoughts that come into our mind, and can't see a way that we'll ever change the way we look at the world. However, there are ways to change, and this article will let you know the basics of how this is possible.

Why Am I So Negative?

If you want to stop negative thinking then you should start by thinking about why you think negatively. Many of us simply believe that our thoughts are true, and even feel guilty about it. You don't need to, and you'll soon learn to recognise these thoughts for what they really are.

The Different Types of Negative Thought

Most negative thoughts will fall into one of these categories, and learning what they are can help you to recognize every negative thought that enters your mind.

Filtering: This means that you filter out the positive aspects of a situation and only remember the negative points.

Polarizing: This is when everything is black or white, meaning it's good or bad and there's nothing in between.

Personalizing: This means you blame yourself for things that really aren't true and aren't in your control.

Catastrophizing: You always expect the worse and even avoid doing things because you think bad things will happen.

The Signs of Negativity

Negative thoughts are absolutely everywhere: from conversations you have with friends and family, to the news you watch and other areas of the media. This is why it's so easy to let negative thinking become a habit. However, now that you know the types of negative thinking you can slowly start to break free from its control.

Thoughts on How To Memorialize You Lost Loved One

By Melanie Brooks

One thing is for certain in everyone's life there will come a time where you will lose a loved one and when that time has passed you will want something to remember him or her by. Losing a loved one is the hardest situation to go through especially if the loved one was someone you lived closely with. Finding ways to memorialize your love one can help one get over the loss and help them find closure and a sense of well-being.

There are many ways in which you can help memorialize your loved one and keep them close to your heart. One such way is by purchasing a piece of jewelry to remember them by. One such popular form of jewelry is the locket. You can enclose a small picture of your loved one into a locket and even have the piece inscribed with their name or a little saying. This is usually in necklace form so it can be worn close to the heart.

If jewelry isn't your style, then you could always create a memorial stone with their name, birth and passing dates etched onto the stone. This stone can also have a picture, much like a gravestone. The best place to put the stone is one where you can visit it or display it as a permanent memorial to your loved one. The garden or yard is the perfect place to create your own memorial. Figurines that have meaning to your loved one or that remind you of them can also be placed in your garden/yard memorial. The more personal the better.

Virtually you can help remember a loved one by signing up for the many of websites that offer an online virtual memorial. These sites often allow you to post pictures of your loved one and offer the service where people can sign a guest book leaving their memories and admiration as well. If you are Internet savvy, you can simply create your own memorial page as a tribute and have family members contribute with their memories and pictures. This will not only help you but also offer help for other family members and friends to offer their condolences.

Whatever it is you choose to do to remember and memorialize your loved one is up to the individual. These simple acts can help one grieve and help them get through a traumatic time in their lives. Remembering a loved one doesn't have to be all pomp and circumstance, just keep them in your thoughts and heart and they will be forever with you.

The Power Of Clairvoyance Is Already Within You!

By David Barry

Have you ever thought about what being a clairvoyant means, and what it could mean to you? Have you thought about the possibility that you can develop your own clairvoyant abilities, even if you don't think you have them now? In fact you can, likely, even if you don't have these abilities just yet. That's because 'clairvoyance' is actually a skill that can be developed, not just a talent you are born with. It's a little bit like driving; you don't know how to drive when you're born, but almost everyone can learn how to. It's the same with clairvoyance. You just need a plan to help you develop these skills, similar to the way you learn the skills you will need to drive a car.

The first thing that you must do if you are going to explore your own clairvoyance is to really understand what it is and how it works. Basically, although it is thought of as a psychic ability, it is much simpler than that. It is a quick intuitive knowledge of things that are not visible to the eye, things that have not happened yet. If you are able to develop your own clairvoyance, you are going to be able to use it to understand things you cannot see, or to understand things that have not happened yet.

To understand what clairvoyant skills entail, then, you need to understand that you will become much more peaceful as a person if you develop these skills and use them. If you develop your clairvoyant skills correctly, you're going to able to use them as positive tools, very easily.

To develop these types of clairvoyant skills for yourself, you first are going to have to become more sensitive to things you can't see around you, things like energies that we all can pick up on but that we often discount as 'nonsense.' That means, you'll need to be able to avoid people that are negative; places and things may also have a negative 'vibe.' If you absorb this type of energy, it's going to have a negative impact on you. It may also negatively impact your clairvoyant skills and life in general. Of course, there are sometimes things that are going to be impossible to avoid, but in most cases, you can do something to help you 'break' any negative energy up that has a hold on you even if you have to encounter. If you do this, you'll be better off overall.

There are several things you can do that will help you develop clairvoyant skills. Take a look at the possessions you have and get rid of any that have negative connotations or 'vibes' for you. That means anything; if you're hanging on to old pictures, old possessions, old memories that bring back not happy memories, but sad, negative, angry times, get rid of them. Surrounding yourself with this type of 'negative' touchstone material is only detrimental. Getting rid of these things will help you cleanse yourself of negativity.

The next thing you want to do is to begin to meditate. Go to a quiet place for at least 30 minutes a day where you're not going to be disturbed and where there is as little noise as possible. It could be your bedroom, your living room, anywhere. Sit in a comfortable chair and simply 'tap into' whatever's there so that you can get in touch with your clairvoyant skills. Incidentally, this meditation time should be sacred; don't do anything to thwart or circumvented, and give it to yourself every day as a gift, as your own 'quiet' time.

As you begin to mediate, and clear your life of everything negative, you are going to become more in tune with your feelings. A chakra balance meditation is essential as all of your chakra energy centers need to be in balance. It is possible to find online recordings of the different chakra sound frequencies and by simply listening to these, your chakras become balanced.

If you don't want to listen to music, you can also visualize the different colors of the chakras and the positions they take in the body. Here are the chakra positions and their colors:

From the top of your head down: Purple is at the top of your head, indigo is in the center of your forehead, blue is in your throat area, green is at the center of your chest, yellow is just above your navel, orange is just below your navel, and red is near the base of your spine.

Once you've got your chakras lined up, you can also work on trusting your feelings. Meditation will help with this as well. Unfortunately, perhaps, or society focuses on the power of the mind, and we tend to discount feelings as 'weak,' while logic is strong. However, feelings are indeed very important sources for information, and they can give us some important lessons, too. If you want to develop your clairvoyant skills, pay attention to your feelings and begin to listen to and follow them.

The same should be said for trusting your hunches. If you have a hunch about a person, a thing, or a place, follow it. If you want to develop your clairvoyance, you need to be confident in the feelings and thoughts that you have. This is very important.

Particularly in the early stages of your training you need to successfully communicate with your subconscious mind. You could try visiting a professional hypnotist or try listening to prerecorded hypnosis audios. This is likely to be of enormous help to get you focussed and relaxed.

And finally, you'll want to become more relaxed in your body and simply 'let yourself go,' leaning into your thoughts and feelings and honoring them for what they can tell you. Clairvoyance is going to take time to develop fully, but you can do it as long as you practice and learn to act on the feelings and intuitions you get. The more you allow yourself to tap into your feelings and trust them, and the more you follow your hunches and instincts, the better you're going to become it becoming clairvoyant. As you become more in tune with your life in general, and your feelings come as false positive flow of things, the better you will be able to access these things by seeing, hearing, and sensing them.

Yes, It Really Is Possible To Learn Telepathy!

By Richard P Minks

Telepathy is the ability to send or receive thoughts and feelings over a distance. This is a form of communication which happens directly between two minds without the use of any of the five standards senses. It's also an ability which every person has the capacity for.

Whether you know it or not, you've already experienced telepathic communication. For example, when you start thinking of someone and you receive a call or letter from them right afterwards.

You may be tempted to chalk these occurrences up to coincidence. However, that's not what it was: these are instances where you have received a telepathic signal from someone else.

This contact then precipitated more conventional communication such as a letter or a phone call. Whether you thought of them first and they received these thoughts or the other way around, this telepathic link between the two of you is what brought you into communication with each other. The other person may have been meaning to get in touch and your telepathy picked up on this, leading you to think of them.

A lot of people think that telepathy is entirely mythical and even if not, they think that they couldn't learn how to use this ability themselves. In most cases, they have some sort of mental block whether this is a religious belief that telepathy belongs to the realm of black magic or the thinking that since there is no definitive proof of the phenomenon that it therefore could not possibly be real.

Still other people think that there is no reason to learn telepathy. After all, if it was so important, why wouldn't everyone practice it from a young age? This is the wrong way to think about it. We have to learn to use all of our other senses and just because our culture doesn't place a high value on psychic ability doesn't mean that learning telepathy is not worthwhile " it can be very useful, just as learning to communicate verbally is.

Spoken language and telepathy fit together to make a whole. Neither can communicate the entire range of human experience and emotional states by themselves, but when you know how to use both, you can enhance your interpersonal relationships and live a richer life.

Learning telepathy is in essence acquiring a new sense which lets you see the world in a different way; in fact, it opens more possibilities to you and gives you a broader perspective. This alone makes telepathy a talent well worth developing.

You'll need to have a partner to get the best results from your efforts to learn telepathy. Choose a close friend who shares your interest in developing this skill " the positive reinforcement you will give each other will be invaluable.

You'll want to practice with your partner while in separate rooms or even with the two of you at your respective homes. This way you'll be unable to read body language or any other kind of visual cues. Relax and free your mind of stress and worry. After your practice sessions, call each other to compare notes.

You'll take turns being the sender and receiver. First, visualize your partner clearly and imagine something connecting the two of you. Many choose to visualize a beam of light, but even the image of cans on a string can be helpful " just pick something which is easy for you to focus on.

The next step is to use this visualized link to send your telepathic communications. Imagine your thoughts traveling over this link and your partner receiving them. Keep your thoughts simple enough to understand, but pick something to send which won't be easy to guess.

Call your partner after you send your signal to compare notes. Find out what they have received and assess how successful your telepathic transmission has been. You should both them take a brief rest and then try again, with your partner now being the sender.

Learning telepathy does take some practice, so be patient with yourself and your partner. Keep your transmission short; 15 minutes at the most when you're beginning. If you don't feel that youre able to send your transmission in this time, take a break and rest. Telepathy uses parts of your mind which are usually undeveloped, so overdoing it can tire you out.

You'll need to practice regularly and keep a positive attitude as you learn telepathy. Stick with it and don't get frustrated if you don't succeed at first. If you're patient, you'll be using your telepathy sooner than you think and you'll gain a wonderful new perspective on the world.

Can You Really Become Telepathic?

By Jason D Stevens

When we say someone is 'telepathic' what do we really mean? Most people just dismiss the idea of telepathy as belonging to mysticism or science fiction. On the other hand, don't we live in a world where people fly on a regular basis? Where information floats invisibly through the air for use with laptops and cell phones? Where anyone can conjure a flame in their hand with the use of a $1 cigarette lighter?

Magic and advanced technology, it is said, are indistinguishable from each other. But the use of technology and science have been used to learn things about the world around us. And we've accomplished what was once thought of as being impossible, a few centuries ago. Think of space flights and the first man walking on the moon. There is also the exploration of the deepest parts of the ocean which was only possible using recent technology. Energy can now be created from natural sources, water, wind and the sun. And don't forget the cell phone, which gives us the ability to speak with anyone, worldwide.

Is it that much of a stretch to consider the possibility that someone really could be Telepathic, but that they simply operate under scientific principles we don't yet understand?

The scientific investigation of Telepathic people falls under the area of paraphysics or parapsychology. The people who investigate it, paraphysicists or parapsychologists, try hard to use experiments and the scientific method to answer questions about telepathy, whether or not they like the answers they find.

Some experiments on people with Telepathic powers have produced tantalizing results. In order to consider something scientifically provable, however, the test results must be measurable, consistent, and repeatable. This is where the scientific investigation of telepathy falls short. The test results are inconsistent and can't always be duplicated. Some say this proves people can't really be Telepathic. Others say this only proves that we don't understand how it works yet, and haven't developed the proper tests to measure it.

How can a person be Telepathic? Without the use of other senses, telepaths use their minds and how can they do this? This is not understood completely and is one that doesn't use the sense of taste, smell, hearing and touch. Nevertheless it does exists. This can already be done artificially. Radio waves are invisible and you can't see, smell or touch them, but they are real.

Some people talk about the concept of 'thought waves' These are Scientifically proven to exist and generated by the brain and studies of telepathy are based on this fact. Explaining this information in easier to understand terms will be a little difficult, so please stay with us.

The thoughts of a human is a biochemical process. The process of nervous impulse being transferred from one neuron to another. This transfer of nervous impulses creates an electrical current - minute, but it can be measured. This current generates a very small magnetic field where the brain has thousands of these synapses firing.

Can humans use these bio-magnetic and bio-electric fields to communicate? Are the magnetic and electrical waves carrying content or is it meaningless static? Can mental training control brain waves? Meditation, controlled thoughts, can these techniques possibly be used in shaping brain waves, like these, into significant communication?

With the magnetic or electrical fields there are problems and these fields can easily be drowned out by the technology of everyday items like televisions, microwaves, refrigerators, stereos produce much bigger electrical and magnetic fields.

Can there possibly be a way to amplify the magnetic and electrical fields of the human brain? For example during an emotionally heightened state, such as shock, fear, pain, or the feeling of danger. A temporary spike in bio-magnetic and bio-electrical is created by the neural synapses firing in the brain.

Researchers of parapsychology have documented brief Telepathic communications. One instance is a mothers knowing her child has been hurt, even though they are separated by many miles. This fear and anxiety the parent experiences creates the spiking of neurons and is this brain activity telepathically communicating? Does the relationship between two individuals contribute to telepathy? Or perhaps is this all just coincidence?

Too little scientific evidence exists to prove, without a doubt, telepathy is factual. However, this is gradually changing. More and more studies are being conducted and show humans are telepathic and with proper instruction and training can develop this ability.

Is Conscious Dreaming Fact Or Fiction?

By Allan Matacan

Also known as lucid dreaming, conscious dreaming is the state of being aware and in control while you are dreaming. That is to say, you know that you are dreaming while you are in the middle of a dream! When you are conscious that youre dreaming, you can control the events of your dreams.

The power of completely controlling your dreams might seem like something out of a fantasy novel, but it's actually quite possible for anyone. Lucid dreaming is actually fairly easy, and offers you a wonderful way to express your inner desires and feelings. There are even tried and tested methods to get you into a lucid dream state.

Before you get started, you should decide why it is that you want to become a lucid dreamer. Do you want to use your conscious dreams to help you achieve goals in life, or just as a way of enjoying your dreams more?

The next step is to begin practicing the techniques which can produce the appropriate state of mind for lucid dreaming to occur. The first step for most people is dream recall, which is simply training yourself to remember your dreams.

If you want to begin conscious dreaming, you'll need to be able to recall all the details of the dreams you have each night. There are a number of ways to do this, but the most common is keeping a dream diary. Place it by the bed, and every morning, enter all the details you remember from your dreams as soon as you wake up. It's important to make sure you do this right away, because you start to lose information the longer you're awake.

Before long, youll find yourself able to remember more of your dreams " and your dream diary can help refresh your memory. Once your mind is trained to remember dreams, the ability to recognize them while they are happening will follow easily. You might, like many do, come to the awareness suddenly that you are dreaming!

In addition to use of a dream diary, another popular method is hypnosis. This can help you achieve the mental state required to enter conscious dreaming. Hypnosis can get people to remember the most minute details of their dreams after only a few sessions. After that, you'll be ready to start conscious dreaming.

At first, you may discover that you occasionally wake up suddenly during a lucid dream. That's fairly normal. All you need to do is recall the events of your dream as you fall back to sleep. Try hard to remember them, and you'll be able to get back into the dream, and even be able to make it do whatever you want it to.

One other method of inducing conscious dreaming is waking up a few hours earlier than you usually do, then trying to get back to sleep. During this period, the dreams you'll have are a lot easier to stay aware in. You even be unsure about whether you were really asleep, or if you were merely thinking while lying in bed. Do this on a regular basis, and lucid dreaming is a lot more likely.

Try to keep track of your sleep schedule " this will help you to figure out when the best times for conscious dreaming are. Be sure not to deprive yourself of too much sleep, as you are actually less likely to have lucid dreams when sleep deprived.

Thankfully, conscious dreaming can be a good remedy for insomnia and other sleep disruptions! Once you develop lucid dreaming, you will be able to put a halt to the thoughts which keep you awake at night.

You may think that learning lucid dreaming takes years of practice, but in fact its not so hard at all to learn " with just a little practice, you can be a conscious dreamer too!

Conscious dreaming is an ability which everyone has. By practicing these techniques, youll find yourself in control of your dreams in pretty short order; and enjoying all of the benefits of lucid dreams!
