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?

Unravel the Mystery of Chakra Healing and Reap its Benefits!

By Anne-Marie Laureaut

What is Chakra According to the ancient Hindus?

The human body consists of 88,000 chakras, also referred to as continuously spinning or active energy points that act as portals to receive, interact and transmit life forces between an individual and his surroundings. Chakra is Hindu for spinning wheel. Of the bodys 88,000 energy points, seven are regarded to have major importance in the overall function of our being.

Although there is no common denominator between the ancient Hindu and Chinese cultures, they are very similar in their interpretation and explanation about the role of these energy points in our health and lives in general. Both the Hindus and the Chinese look at the bodys major energy points as playing important roles in our conscious and subconscious experiences. And that these seven energy points are the keys to a healthy and successful life.

Chakras are defined in various ways but there is one common thread among all of the definitions and explanations whether from the Chinese medicine point of view, the Hindus mystical understanding of an individuals internal and external experience or modern psychologys explanation of human our consciousness and thought processes.

Since the chakras are constantly in motion regardless if we are awake or not, their constant activity influences our bodys structure and appearance, glandular processes, physical disorders, even our thoughts and conduct. Therefore when one or more of our chakras malfunction due to any number of reasons, the result is an imbalance that becomes manifest in all aspects of our being.

The reason for this is because each of the seven major chakras is linked to a corresponding endocrine gland in our body. Any imbalance in the function of a chakra affects our physical and emotional processes and manifests a disturbance in the usual pattern of activity or behavior through the endocrine gland linked to it.

Maintaining the Optimum Functions of our Chakras Using the foundations of the ancient Hindus and Chineses understanding and interpretation of the functions of our bodys energy points, especially the seven major ones, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that not all our illnesses are viral; some are very likely related to the malfunction of one or all of our chakras. Physical symptoms of illness may not be present or minimal at the very least, but our feelings of discontent, stress, excitement are signs that something is wrong with us either on the physical, spiritual or emotional levels.

These factors could be anything ranging from repressed traumatic incidents during early childhood to wrong diet, unhealthy lifestyle and the like. One thing is certain, and that is we have to remove these physical or emotional toxins from our bodies because they affect us greatly.

Chakra Healing is Good for Our Body We can directly influence our chakras and their functions and through them our health and lives by employing techniques such as Reiki healing, aromatherapy, color therapy, chakra balancing with the aid of a pendulum, crystals or gemstones.

Simple and straightforward practice of color and aroma therapy, controlled breathing exercises and rhythmic exercise routines, Reiki healing and directed meditation with the use of audio even crystals and gemstones are but some of the ways we can do on our own to influence the process of interaction of our bodys energy points.

For example, the practice of Yoga and directed meditation are but two of the commonly used healing methods to align and enhance our energy points in order for us to achieve total relaxation and concentration regardless of where we are. This is very helpful in relieving stress and enhances the bodys natural healing processes.

Despite the fact that we can see or touch our energy points, aside from the above there are other ways that we can keep them healthy in order for them to better support our body.

Since our diet affects our body and our system, they also affect the stability and synchronization of our major energy points. The food we eat can either make them work better, slowly or not at all!

Root-type vegetables, protein-rich foods and spices nourish our root chakra. The sexual and creativity (sacral) chakra needs sweet fruits, nuts and cinnamon, vanilla, sesame and caraway seeds; the stomach/solar plexus chakra which is responsible for enhancing our self-confidence and self-love are can be nourished by eating breads, pastas, cereal, dairy products, yogurt and minty spices.

The heart chakra thrives on our intake of green leafy vegetables and green tea. Our throat chakra needs lots of liquid like water and fruit juices and tangy fruits including apples and peaches.

Blueberries and grapes are the primary source of nourishment of our energy point for the third eye. It is also helps if we drink wine or grape juice.

The last of the seven major energy points, the crown, does not need nourishment but requires fasting in order to be detoxified.

By influencing our chakras, we are also directly influencing our health in general. This leads to a more responsive existence complete in tune with our surroundings and all other elements of both the physical and metaphysical world we live in.

Dealing With A Break Up Despite How Complicated It Sounds

By Nikki Frost

If you were not inclined to a break-up, break-up may hurt you. Your entire life is affected by a breakup; everything and every place seems to conjure up memories of your ex. You will even have to evaluate your friendships to see if they are worth the emotions caused by seeing them.

One of the biggest hurdles you have to face when dealing with a break up is your family and friends. If your ex was popular with your family, you're going to get tired of questions about the situation. You must explain to them that you're dealing with a break up and moving on, the break up is over, and that you don't appreciate constantly being reminded of your ex and the past relationship.

Sometimes this is difficult for family with dealing with a break up. They want to keep bringing up the person in the hopes that you'll get back together. You can just explain, "Moving on, break up is over, that's that."

Eventually they'll come around because they're your family and they love you. It's probably going to be harder to deal with when it comes to your friends.

If you didn't have many mutual friends, then it should be less of a problem dealing with a break up. But if the two of you often hung out with the same group of people, then you going alone to be with those friends is going to seem strange to everyone for a while. And then there's the problem of your ex wanting to hang out with the friends, too.

You can even collide when around the same friends. A breakup with your mate does not mean you should have to breakup with your friends also. Maintaining certain friendships may be difficult after you break up.

As difficult as it may seem,when you choose to separate and end a relationship,you may make things easier to end some of your mutual friendships as well. Dealing with a break up is easier if you and your ex are open with mutual friends.

Sometimes dealing with a break up is just too difficult when you're surrounded by mutual friends and so many places to go together. If possible, go on a vacation to get away from the same scenery and people. Once you're ready for dealing with a break up, then if you can take some time away it can help you a great deal.

Past Life Regression, The Future And You

By Steve Bartlett

It is believed that only twenty-five percent of today's population believe in reincarnation. With a low percentage of believers, this does not mean that it is true. Haven't you ever felt pulled towards something, or a connection with something and you had no idea why? Ever have a talent you didn't know where it came from? You know what I'm talking about and the answer may be as simple as it was something that was once important to you in your past life.

When a person overlooks this possibility, ignores the validity of it, they miss the opportunity that is presented to them to grow as a person. They could very well be hindering their chance of being successful by not being able to get in touch with their past life.

Extensive research as shown that past life regression could be used as a very powerful tool to help people that suffer from emotional problems.

The most common advantage of past life regression is being able to clear trauma in their lives and promote healing. When people encounter trauma there are two obvious choices that can be made. You can either run, or you can face it to fix it. If you believe in past life regression, you will have an additional option. You can rescue your past self and help them to be successful with dealing with the trauma. The trauma can be viewed by the Higher Self.

If you use past life regression you are given the option to go back to where the problem stemmed from. Which life the problem started in, fix it, and bring the attribute to act as an inner guide.

Karma is powerful, and always comes back to us. If we have an issue that points back to a past life contract or agreement we one made, we can go back into that past life and free ourselves. Through the help of an Inner Guide we can modify, change, or release ourselves from that contract which will help us with a current situation.

Affirmation of oneself is a huge benefit of going through our past life regression.

Commonly people who go through past life regression feel more grounded, and know what makes them who they are today. This is because they learn where each attribute, talent, connection, characteristic, desires and passions stem from. This allows them to embrace who they are and gives them a more rounded life.

Experts agree in this field that if a person is serious about wanting to improve and enhance their life they need to practice past life regression. Knowing through past life regression about who you were in your past lives, helps you to be a person that more fulfilled during this lifetime.

You currently may think that your thoughts and feelings of events are just figments of your imagination. You need to open your mind, take down the walls that are blocking you from successfully reaching what you want out of this life.

A quick recap of what was mentioned is that through the benefits of past life regression, you can deal with traumatic events from the past so that they don't bind you in your personal life today. Dealing with them from your past life will help you live a better equipped life for dealing with decisions you need to make today.

As history likes to repeat itself, if you know your history you can change it. Perhaps in a past life you were very dishonest. With that knowledge and the knowledge of remembering the punishment you may have endured from being dishonest, can help you to change your ways and not be the same in this life.

Knowing who you are today, because of who you were in your past, is an important benefit of past life regression. You can live a more well rounded, balanced, and complete life when you are able to take advantage of your talents and skills that you once had giving you life's fullest potential. These may be talents and skills that you never knew you once had.

Why Successful People Use Cosmic Ordering

By Anne-Marie Laureaut

Improving one's lifestyle is a concern that has affected most of us in these recent times. The quest to lead a fulfilling life and enjoying every moment is perhaps what you have always desired to do. There are many available options that promise you a gratifying life, and one popular concept is that of cosmic ordering.

What is cosmic ordering? It is a spiritual practice where you are able to get from the universe everything it is you want in life. You ask, or order something, and you will receive it. While this is a spiritual process, don't be swayed to think that you have to be a "Saint" and only do good things in order to get what it is you want from life. Yes, that's a benefit but not a requirement.

Cosmic ordering, very simply is the spiritual manifestation of your dreams and desires. You can ask for anything from the universe. A change in your life or perhaps a change in situation, which will help you to attain your desired objective.

As Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer insist, you must be aware of the field of intent in order to place your command before the universe. This is a field through which energy is transmitted, and is invisible in nature. It is at this level that our spirit connects to the cosmos and fulfillment of the desires occurs.

There is a high probability that cosmic ordering is something you have done without knowing that you are doing it. Think of all the times you have really wanted something and the wish has come true. You probably thought it was a coincidence. But actually it was cosmic ordering at work.

Using cosmic ordering has a lot to do with the power of intention, which is a combination of our desires and our belief that we can create a new situation and belief that we deserve what we are asking for. For cosmic ordering to work, you have to really want what it is you are asking for and you have to believe that you deserve it.

Saying "I want a new car," or "I want that promotion" and then believing that you shouldn't get those things because you didn't earn them, or you didn't put any effort into getting them will make it so that your order is not fulfilled. If a better life is really what you want, then you have to believe deep down in your soul that you deserve a better life.

This is not too hard to grasp, is it? It doesn't involve strenuous spiritual exercises, but asks for self confidence. If you place your confidence in positive things, that positive change will influence your life. However if you meditate solely on negative aspects, the effects shall be adverse.

For example, if you think and believe that you are going to get fired, you probably will. So think positively and focus on what you really want.

Most people believe that do not deserve a lot of things because they deem themselves a failure. This negative mode of thinking affects his/her performances in every aspect of life!

Sometimes, it is your subconscious that works against you and tries to convince you that you do not deserve a change in your life.

For success at cosmic ordering you need to train your subconscious mind to make this change possible.

To do this, try a bit of meditation or self hypnosis. And believe in yourself!

People have completely changed their lives using cosmic ordering. Isn't it time that you lived the life that you really want? Here is your chance, using cosmic ordering to enjoy a truly fulfilled life.

Celebrities Understand Advanced Cosmic Ordering

By Khristy-Belle Strand

An exciting new concept that many celebrities have started to endorse is known as 'cosmic ordering'.

Other people have heard of 'the secret' and 'the law of attraction' but using cosmic ordering allows you to be more specific with your wishes.

What if you had a cosmic ordering service and all you had to do was request something and like magic, it would appear before you. Wouldn't that be wonderful? The most amazing thing is that we already have this power and yet all we choose to order is more of the same.

Think of it in this way - you have a menu with an unlimited number of options in front of you, but you only look at the very first line -bread. You keep ordering only this, perhaps feeling that you do not deserve more than this.

Picture yourself wealthy. Picture yourself running, dancing, climbing mountains and driving the most luxurious car. Picture yourself constantly on vacation with a private jet and rooms at only the best of hotels.

You would wear only the finest clothing and always look incredible. If you can visualize this and keep it in your mind for a few minutes, you are already on your way to achieving this goal. Most people have a very hard time imagining this kind of life for themselves and the idea of cosmic ordering seems like something which they will never be able to accomplish. So what is this cosmic ordering anyway?

Advanced cosmic ordering is really for the majority of people who have not yet been successful at cosmic ordering. It basically means reprogramming your subconscious mind to clear all the negative programming which you have been subjected to since you were a child.

Over the years, this negative programming becomes internalized and holds us back from getting the things that we want for ourselves. This feeling that you can't have or worse yet, don't deserve success is reinforced by feeling envious of the success of others.

Thinking that you don't deserve better makes it very hard for you to do better for yourself, even when the opportunity is right there in front of you.

Quantum physics is a scientific field which has opened new possibilities for thinking about the Universe. The rules are different than in the physics you remember from school and can be used a s a way to think about why some are more successful than others.

The brain emits powerful energy that can direct and change the smallest particle known to man, and those we haven't yet discovered. If a quark jumps a level, it is called a quantum leap. Just changing one level affects the structure of the atom and subsequently matter. If you could guide that change, anything is possible.

Many of us don't think that you can actually change your circumstances by changing the way you think about them. They might have tried to do this once themselves - but without believing that it can work, the results are not going to be good. Quantum physics has shown us that observers can change the outcome of a process simply by observing it. If you watch something happen without believing that it can really happen, then it very likely won't; you will then have negatively affected the outcome of that process by acting as an observer.

With instruction and practice, you can use the cosmic ordering system to get what you want; this is something which the ancients knew. The cosmic ordering system is a part of every religion in the form of prayer. But most of us listen to neither what religion or science has to tell us and instead continue to lead unsatisfying lives.

Training yourself to ask for what you want will take some work, but there are new technologies which can clear out those negative thought patterns and help you to achieve this. New technologies have given us a way to speed the process along.

Advanced cosmic ordering uses new developments in audio technology. By listening to special frequencies called binaural tones, you can tune your brain waves to the necessary frequency to communicate with the universe. This is the state which Buddhist monks spend years of meditation trying to reach.

Along with self-hypnosis and subliminal affirmation recordings, binaural sound can help you to eliminate your negative programming and start achieving your goals quickly.

Advanced cosmic ordering works. Once you have mastered it, it is an incredible tool and everything you desire truly can be yours, but it needs just a bit of effort from you as well!

Astral Projecting - A Beginners Guide

By Hayden M Price

For those that are new to astral projecting, there can be a number of stumbling blocks that you need to overcome before you can successfully astral project. First you need to understand that you already have the ability, everyone does. So this isn't about trying to learn something new, or doing something that isn't natural. Look at it as something that you have to fine tune, like roller skating, cartwheels, riding a bike. You never forget how to do these activities, when you haven't done them in a long time you just have to practice. The same holds true for astral projecting.

One major stumbling block that many people encounter is relaxation. To astral project the mind and the body have to be deeply relaxed. This can take some practice, but there are many relaxation techniques that you can employ to help your mind and body relax. There are breathing techniques and muscle relaxation techniques that you can try.

Obviously, youll have a much easier time astral projecting if you are doing this in a relaxed environment. Follow these tips to get relaxed and have the best chance of success as you prepare to astral project.

*Start by removing any tight, restrictive clothing and any jewelry. Some people even find taking off their clothes to be helpful when astral projecting, but whatever works for you is the right way to go.

*You want to have a dimly lit room in order to practice astral projection. Not pitch black, but dark enough that when you close your eyes no light gets through.

*Lay down with your body pointed north to south. Your head should be pointed north. You can orient yourself by using the sun as your guide (since it sets in the west and rises in the east).

*While you practice astral projecting, make sure that the clothes you wear keep you warm, but are comfortable and loosely fitting.

*Make sure that you have a place which is quiet and where you will not be distracted as you practice your astral projecting.

*It is time to enter a state of relaxation, (this is where you want to practice your relaxation techniques.)

*Start giving yourself mental suggestions that will help you be able to remember what is happening during your session. Keeping a pen and paper close by is helpful, so that as soon as you finish your astral travels you can write down what you remember. Remembering can be enhanced by saying to yourself five times, I will remember.

*Start using your breathing techniques and feel yourself starting to relax.

*As you are using your breathing techniques and beginning to relax, concentrate on the blackness ahead of you.

*Next, concentrate on a point about one foot away from your forehead. Once you manage to do this, switch your focus to a point about six feet away.

*After this, think of a line which runs perpendicular to your body from your focal point six feet away.

By following these tips, youll be well prepared for astral projecting. In order to get the best results from astral projection, you need to be in full control mentally. Your astral body may wander off randomly otherwise, which is a waste of your efforts. You can go anywhere and do anything when you are astral projecting, so make sure to think of where youd like to go and what youd like to do.

Those who are well practiced at astral projecting have reported being able to perform feats which their physical bodies would be unable to do and even speaking with departed loved ones. Remember, astral projection is something you have done before. You know those dreams where you wake up and remember everything vividly? Those were actually astral travels. With practice, you can astral project at will and gain many benefits.
