This principle, relates to in several ways. Reiki is used to heal and alleviate of blocked energies. When one is worried, it creates extra blocked energy. Then, one who is either in a or using a practitioner for healing is kept from being able to create a better flow of energy.

In today's world there is such a high level of challenge and rapid change happening for most of us, that it has become even more important to find a way to stay connected with our hearts, and with our inner connection with .

There are many ways we can tap into our inner connection with God and spirit; however it is not always simple to do so. The demands of daily life can be compelling, and can cause us to forget our connection to spirit. A regular spiritual practice of meditation or prayer can be very helpful in focusing thought, energy and intention towards God. Even five or ten minutes a day can have a significant on the entire day.

Why Daily Inspiration is so Important Now

The process of spiritual transformation involves the release of everything within us that has been out of balance and out of harmony with God's love. This process is happening individually and for humanity as a whole at this time. The problems manifesting in our world are an expression of this imbalance, and are being manifest now in order to be transformed.

At this time on the there is a great deal of negative energy surfacing and releasing into the atmosphere of the planet. This is related to the process of global purification that is happening as humanity's consciousness evolves towards greater connection with spirit, and as the 's light strengthens on the Earth. The spiritual awakening that is beginning to happen for humanity is illuminating within all of us everything that has been kept separated from God's love.

These energies that are releasing through the process of purification affect all of us, especially sensitive souls who are attuned to the spiritual levels of reality. Staying connected to a source of and inspiration each day helps us to avoid getting immersed in the negative energies that are present, and helps us to feel nourished and sustained during difficult times.

Some people feel these negative energies physically or in their consciousness, some people feel this energy at night in their dreams. Many people now are feeling these energies emotionally, and are not aware that what they are feeling is related to much a larger process than their own individual emotional challenges.

Our individual spiritual healing journey is connected with the larger journey of transformation that is happening for all of humanity. It is not always possible to discern what energy is our own personal healing, and what is related to the larger collective healing process of humanity.

When you become aware of difficult emotions or energies, there are three things that can help to move these out of your body and consciousness.

1. Be aware of what you are feeling at any given moment. 2. Release any judgment or fear associated with the emotions or energies you are experiencing 3. Ask God to transform and transmute the energies and emotions.

During the process of purification it is essential to stay connected with God, with daily inspiration, and with others of like mind and like heart who can share the journey with us and help to strengthen our love and faith. It is not easy to overcome old habits that created unconsciousness and a disconnection from our hearts. Support is needed, and daily spiritual practice and inspiration are the nourishment which sustains us.

Your willingness and commitment to stay connected with God's love brings many rewards such as greater inner peace, more equanimity during times of challenge, and growing sense of confidence in your ability to feel God's love. You are also helping the Earth and other people around you, because we are all connected. When you are radiating love and light, and focusing your attention on God's love, then your presence has a beneficial impact on those around you.

In reaching out to God each day, focusing our hearts on receiving more of God's love, we are able find a pathway through the challenges of life today. Even during times of difficulty, a new doorway begins to open, towards a new possibility for ourselves and for humanity.

You don't have to live in a dilapidated, haunted house to attract a ghost into your home, some of the nicest homes in the world will attract a ghost.

There are several things you can do to lift and protect the energy of your home and office which will lessen the chances of having ghostly visitors.

1. Smudge Your Home Every Week - is the process of burning sage and other herbs to purify the energy of a room, a building or even an individual. To properly smudge, open a window in the room you are clearing. Light the end of the and begin to walk around the room, moving the smudge stick in the areas of the room that feel thick, negative or uncomfortable for you. As you smudge you want to hold the intention of clearing away all . You also want to say your intention out loud; perhaps something along these lines, "Clearing away all negative and . Surrounding us in the love, protection and prosperity of God." Smudging is an absolute necessity after conflicts and heated discussions, and after guests' visits and parties or gatherings.

2. Burn Candles with an Intention - After you smudge you want to burn a few candles, and infuse each candle with an intention. For example, you might say as you light a candle, "I intend for my house to be filled with love and kindness." Burn to dispel negativity and burn white candles to infuse purity and protection. This will raise the energy of any room. Candles and are available at my website, Their Way Home.

3. Clean Out the Clutter - Everyone has a little bit of clutter in their busy homes, but too much clutter (particularly the kind that never goes away) creates a chaotic, stagnant vibration that can affect your ability to think clearly. Ghosts love chaos and stagnation because it reflects how they feel. They feel right at home around it. Schedule a couple of days every so often to organize your home and office. And never, ever store boxes of 'stuff' under your bed. It will ruin your sleep and can potentially give you bad dreams. Put chunks of rose quartz under your bed instead. It will surround you with love and sweet dreams.

4. Keep it Clean - Clean your home and office (dusting, vacuuming, etc.) at least once a week. Dirt and grime, aside from being unhealthy, also creates a sad vibration of chaos and confusion in your home.

5. Visit Every Room Every Week - If you live in a small home this probably isn't a problem. But if you live in a larger home, you may have noticed how the rooms that aren't used regularly can take on a stagnant and uncomfortable feeling. These empty rooms are another favorite haunt for ghosts. Try placing a living plant in these rooms so you'll have a reason for visiting these areas every few days or so.

6. Open the Windows - As often as the weather permits, open up a window and let the fresh air flow! Fresh air helps to take away negative energies and helps to raise everyone's state of mind. If you're sensitive to pollen and pollution, open the windows only when the pollen counts are low or nonexistent. Also consider investing in an air purifier and an ozone machine for better air quality whenever you need it.

7. Get Rid of Furniture You Don't Like - If you detest the dining room table you inherited from great aunt Betty, donate it to Goodwill or sell it on eBay. Being around furniture and 'things' you don't like in your home creates an energy pattern of resentment - another favorite energy pattern for ghosts.

8. Keep Gemstone Crystals in Your Home - Genuine Gemstone Crystals such as quartz, amethyst, celestite, labradorite, agate, tourmaline and many others go a long way to lifting and protecting the energy around them. Quartz literally purifies the energy of any room. And amethyst helps to transmute negative energies to positive ones. The best place to find great rocks at great prices is at any local rock show. Search the web to find out when one is coming near you.

9. Wear Gemstone Crystals - Wearing authentic gemstone crystals is a very effective way to lift your own energy, which will in turn help lift the energy of your home. Wearing quartz crystal can help purify your energy as well as the energy of the environment around you. Onyx gives calming strength and Chalcedony quiets chaotic emotions. Any gemstone jewelry is a wonderful touchstone throughout your day and is particularly supportive to you in a contentious situation.

10. Keep Salt Lamps in Your Home - Salt lamps are most often made from the salts found in Himalaya. Just like the salt water of the ocean, the protective nature of a salt lamp purifies the energy of any room. They also help to mitigate EMFs from televisions, computers and cell phones and they've been known to help migraine and allergy sufferers.Melissa Van Rossum is an accomplished psychic, empath and author.

Unbalances in the body's energy field can be caused by the mind focusing on negative aspects. Crystal energy helps change negative energies and replaces them with positive energies.

Crystal energy affects your body by balancing your body's energy. I will not be touching here on the use of crystals healing by means of a healer; however, I will focus on the use of crystal energy and the theory behind and gemstones.

The theory behind crystal energy is to do with the . The Quantum theory considers the Universe and all things that make it, as existing in an empty space with forms of energy moving within each space. Of course this includes our physical body which is a space with energy flowing infinitely through its own space. Your body's energy is used when you breath and when you show emotions and thoughts.

The healing processes of crystals and gemstones are considered a special flow of energy that change the way the flows. This special flow of energy can be helped by the use of healing crystals and gemstones to improve and speed up the healing processes. Crystals and gemstones can be used as a tool to give the healing flow of energy an important boost in adding power to achieve cures.

Crystal energy and crystals are a tool that can enhance not just your health, but anything you undertake. Although crystals and gemstones occupy a than our body and mind, within the Universe there occur an interaction between your body and mind and the energy forms. This interaction is executed through shared properties resulting from the energy flow.

For example, the of a share the same type of electromagnetic properties of the body, thus somehow the crystal's electromagnetic energy flows can positively interact with the same electromagnetic energy flow of the human body.

The quantum theory helps to explain the effect of crystals in our psychological and biological life. Even disregarding the Quantum theory, the use of healing crystals and gemstones has been a beneficial practice used by people throughout centuries. This practice is very beneficial for the healing processes.

Crystals and their colors correspond to chakra points in your body. These have been found to have cleansing and energizing properties that interact with the body causing them to work on problem areas. Appling the energy of the crystals and gemstones to the body enhances the cleansing and energizing effect to the body.

Root Chakra: Jasper (bloodstone), garnet, onyx and rubies.

We are created in love forms the foundation of our divine ual selves, and of our physically manifested life. Even the many limitations that we encounter in our early lives do not remove love from our spiritual center, because it is the essence of who we are.

Though we are created as love, as we through our lives it is possible to forget love, which takes a back seat to the many other demands of life. It is also possible to sustain as we travel through life that damage our ability to connect with ourselves and to feel the inner experience of love that would otherwise sustain us.

In humanity's long journey through physical embodiment, we have learned to develop our sense of individuality and separateness. This has brought much learning and growth, but has also created a greater experience of disconnection from our divine spiritual nature. When we are disconnected from our inner connection with spirit, many painful afflictions can arise.

In today's world, there has been such an extreme level of disconnection from spirit, that humanity has forgotten the sacred nature of life and relationship. This forgetting has led to abuse, violence and all manner of painful negative experiences. Many souls today carry scars from encountering this kind of extreme separated consciousness, and these wounds can create habitual patterns that form in the physical and emotional bodies.

One extremely common form of misdirected negative energy is to turn in on oneself. The mind and emotions attack the self, causing great physical and emotional distress. This results in a more limited capacity to share deeply with others, because so much energy is being recycled back and forth within the self. Sadly, many human beings suffer from self anger, self blame and self hatred. These form a projection of sorts, where the negative energy that was received at some point in the past, becomes attached to the self and directed towards the self.

This affliction can greatly interfere with one's relationships, because it becomes difficult to be fully present in the moment in a space of love to share with others. Self hatred can also distort perception, so that is becomes difficult to know with real clarity what is happening within relationships.

The antidote to this cycle of difficulty is the development of self love. Self love is not a technique, but rather the restoration of our innate spiritual center, which is love. From this place, love from the divine flows freely into the body, mind, emotional bodies, and spirit. Love is expressed outwardly towards others and oneself as a natural flow.

How can we restore self love, if we have been out of balance for a very long time? This journey begins with the simple prayer and intention.

"Restore me, dearest God, to my divine inner purity and grace. Release my burdens, free me from suffering, and anoint me with your holy divine love."

This prayer, repeated with heartfelt sincerity, will open a pathway of return home to your divine inner being. The spiritual journey releases the hold that negative energies, memories and actions have had upon us, and restores our inner harmony with God's love. Love will flow freely within you, and therefore around you, as it naturally expresses and flows outward to other.

Dearest ones, this simple step can transform so many difficult relationships. When you cease to give energy and attention to self blame and self hatred, and begin receiving divine love, your whole energy field changes and no longer resonates in whatever difficulties you may have had with another person. When you no longer are participating in the negative energy pattern, then it cannot sustain itself and it begins to dissolve. This can be done without even speaking to another person. The energy shift you make has an impact on all of your relationships, and can create miracles of all kinds.

When you make the decision to choose self love, rather than self hatred, you will notice many negative thought patterns and emotions rise up. This is a natural pat of the process, for when a soul chooses light; the energies of darkness rise up in response and attempt to disrupt that choice. When this happens, remain peaceful; continue to choose love, and to simply observe the negative thoughts, energies and emotions. These will pass on their own, and as you journey you will see a new life emerge before you, a life blessed with love.

Feng shui is using the power of colours, arrangement and to make any living or sort of a or sponge that can absorb as much good energy as it can to give you prosperity, luck and wisdom. Adversely, you could be stuck in a situation where the reverse is true, bad colours and odious arrangements make for the 'scarecrow' effect -- driving away 'Chi' or good energy.

What we are concentrating here is on luck and I will explain a bit on that as well. of old China, well schooled in the arts of feng shui have divided luck into three bite sized and packaged portions. 'Tien', also known as luck of the heavens, 'Ti', a luck spawned from earth and 'Ren', the best luck of all, created from the tools of humanity and the individual.

Now Tien is the preset luck, it all depends on , location and family history. Ti and Ren however are entirely up to you. Ti or Earth Luck is the one you have the most control over. This luck is resonant with the energies of nature and they flow within the world we live in at every turn. This is also where feng shui is most applicable because these are the very energies or 'Chi' that you must tune to enjoy a lifetime of good luck and prosperity. The totality of the approach is this, what colours you use and how your house is arranged will decide how much and how often these energies will call on you and make themselves comfortable in your abode.

What you put in your house is also very important. Dried flowers, fake plants or anything with thorns or sharp jagged edges may just cut a swathe into the good energies and chase them away. Feng Shui identifies eight segments of life -- career, relationship, health, travel, children, family, education and fame. Each of them has a place in any living and working space and anyone can use what they have or Feng Shui specific objects like crystals and stones to augment and control the amount of 'Chi' travelling through the house as well as balance the yin (masculine) and the yang (feminine) energies of the house -- maintaining a balance that is ideal for wealth, luck and prosperity to grow.

When learning Gold Reiki one would use three major attunements. These open certain channels where the Golden Ray energy can easily move in relation to your energies, while allowing for relaxation. If you choose to use these attunements on your own, it is best to use each one separately over a period of five days. This will individually cleanse each chakra. After using the last attunement, you can call on the specific universal energy to help with your healing.

If you are interested in learning about Gold Reiki, there are several places on the web or in your local area to find one who is trained with this universal energy. Many places offer home study, as well as private training. Through the process of learning this, you will be knowledgeable about which attunements and symbols to use in order to call on the Golden Ray energy in your Reiki healing sessions.

The use of Gold Reiki is not the most common form of Reiki that is used. Its focuses on the specific universal energy of the Golden Ray. It aids specific forms of healing so that you will be able to move past your body's energy blocks. If you decide to use Gold Reiki as a healing method, there are many sources in order to research the best method of training for you.

At such a point, it begins to make more sense to us that what is felt on the inside as an emotion can arise on the outside as a wave or current of energy that affects a great many people, sometimes the entire world. Yet, even before this point is reached, we can seek to understand such things in order to better appreciate both the condition the world is in, as well as the condition that our own are in.

While this doesn't mean that the light disappears, it means that we often have less access to it. As a result, when there is a choice within our own lives to sink deeper into something that is painful or to step out of it, it becomes harder for us to do the latter. Similarly, when a choice exists regarding how to view a situation, person, relationship, or event, a heart influenced by the current energetic atmosphere is likely to feel less open, more angry, more despairing, with less possibility for forgiveness, love, and trust, even while the heart may simultaneously be seeking these. The opposite, of course, is also true. Because light is only covered over by darkness and is not extinguished by it, if we were to reach for it, if we were able to separate from the darkness and seek that which we know lives beneath it, our hearts would feel uplifted and much more would be possible.

The situation of being permeable to energies that belong to the world's condition is everpresent. We are never immune to the impact of what surrounds us as a spiritual atmosphere and what we live within. What this knowledge can do is to help us separate just a little more from the feelings of despair, sadness, grief, or emptiness that we think of as belonging to us alone, and to know that though we are carrying these feelings within us, they are not entirely ours. They are partly ours, for our own inner state draws to us that which is similar to it. But they do not entirely emanate from within.

With the possibility of greater space occurring between us and the things we feel, we become better able to notice our feelings without becoming quite so involved with them. Depression often has a strong effect on the body and because of this, despite our wishes, it is not likely that the bodily sensations themselves will completely disappear, simply as a result of our spiritual knowing. However, such knowledge can make us more tolerant, stronger, and more detached from both bodily sensations and emotions themselves as we recognize: "what I feel is not me. A part of what I am feeling is me, but the rest is not." Such an understanding can create hope that there might be another way to feel, indeed, that an alternative can be found to hopelessness, sorrow, emptiness, and despair for ourselves and for the world as well. While we cannot, in the moment, heal the world in its entirety, we can help do this on a smaller scale by bringing our own self out of the depths that we may have fallen into.

It isn't possible for a food that you eat to have a negative number of calories, that's just plain impossible. What people really mean when they call something a negative calorie food is that you burn more calories eating it than the food gives you. So, on balance, you have "eaten" a negative number of calories because you've eaten, say, 20 calories and used, say, 30 calories eating it. Net result: 10 eaten.

So what sort of foods are negative calorie ones? Are they all boring foods that you wouldn't want to eat anyway?

For some of them, the answer is probably yes. You can't imagine anyone (rabbits excepted) wanting to eat a large plate of lettuce and nothing else.

But there are plenty of other negative calorie foods that might start to get you excited.

Would you like to eat a nice juicy apple? That's fine as it counts as negative calorie.

Fancy a plate of strawberries? Again, no problem. At least not until you start salivating at the thought of adding cream. But with no sugar and no cream count as negative calorie. If you're on a low carb diet, they score fine for that as well.

Quite a few other fruits count as negative calorie, so you don't have to force yourself to just eat . Pineapple is fine as well. So are cantaloupe melons, blackberries, raspberries and cranberries.

Just think, you could make yourself a delicious and still be on your way to losing those extra pounds.

On the veggie side, take a look at carrots. Nibbled raw they are tasty and you won't consume any extra calories. Add in some tomatoes and peppers for a colorful and tasty side salad.

Bible is the most followed book today. These principles are the incorporeal pure energies that are inherent within the subconscious of humans, and also are the universal forces that govern mind and matter. A believer can attract the things that are desires through the same principles of the law of attraction, using the tools that are easily available to him -- creative visualization, imaging, and powers of the . For ages, the wise of the practiced these .

The followers of the law of attraction use the power of creative visualization to manifest things that are desired by their mind. They use meditation to charge these powers, to generate pure energy force fields, and use visualization and imaging techniques as tools enabling them to use the law of attraction in the most creative way. Their highly disciplined subconscious mind easily understands every necessary step required and is capable of activating these mysterious and .

Every human being has the latent power to invoke these higher energies through their subconscious mind and can attract things they desire. It is through the divine will that only a few can really use the complete power of the forces that are available to everyone. Still, to manifest simpler desires, anyone can use the power to attract results. Attracting more money, love, health, recognition, and even getting a job are the lesser desires of humans that can be easily manifested through the gentler use of the law of attraction techniques, while self-realization and the pure knowledge of the ultimate Truth can be availed only by the of these energetic forces.

Law of attraction followers use these visualization principles and techniques to materialize their desires into existence. Like attracts like! This is the principle of the law of attraction. The subconscious mind understands no difference between the real and the myth. It understands no difference between the good and the bad and also between the existing and the non-existing. But it possesses the hyper intelligence that can materialize the conscious mind's desires.

The follower of the law of attraction uses repeated and very gentle influence through visualization and meditation over the subconscious mind to manifest the desires of the mind into existence in the outer world. Visualization sets higher energies into creative actions. During visualization, the entire future depiction of the things desired are "seen" by the mind, and faithfully believed by the subconscious mind that the desires shall manifest in future. Any doubt in the entire process can stop the process entirely, or in the worst case, can create a negative effect. Hence, even as the powers are so easily available to the masses, they cannot not see materialization of their visualization efforts. Indeed, not effort or doubt, but complete gentleness and belief, and creative visualization methods are required to put powerful forces into action to materialize their desires.Manifesting Reality Isn't Hard Work After All.

This process of global purification has, as its goal, the eradication of those areas of within the that are the cause of separation, division, and enmity, both from one another and from the sacred life that God would have us live. The purpose of this transformation and its aim is the replacement of these attitudes with a of unity, built upon a foundation of spiritual truth and love.

Events we witness today of extreme violence, of degradation of the humanity of others, of cruelty, of the punitive seeking of revenge, of hatred justified in the name of God, of practices of deception and manipulation =96 all are manifestations of of darkness that can infiltrate human emotions and . These currents, while partly emotionally-based, are also parts of Creation existing at other levels of spiritual reality. Today, they play a large role on the world stage and within the hearts of many because it is the time of purification upon the earth - a time when energies and motivations that have lain dormant within body and heart become released into . While these energies do not necessarily have to be acted out, often, because of the strength with which they are felt, they become the source of action.

Such an expansion of darkness is not happening by chance. It is a result of the more profound and universal expansion of light upon the planet =96 a movement whose effect is to both awaken people spiritually, while simultaneously stirring the dormant energies which act in opposition to this awakening. In this stirring is a movement toward greater freedom, with the mechanism of release into awareness being one stage on the road to becoming free of the energy entirely.



The work of light, everywhere, is to illumine and purify mind, heart, and body so that humanity can hold a greater degree of love and light within itself and move to the next level of its spiritual unfoldment. This is also true for the Earth itself which is also moving into the next stage of its spiritual unfoldment. In the case of the Earth, development operates according to similar principles as those for individuals, with the expansion of consciousness and the increase in the concentration of light being parts of it. And just as it is time for people, individually, to awaken, it is also time for the being that is the Earth to move into greater light and into heightened spiritual resonance. This movement has already begun and will have profound implications for every life form inhabiting the planet.

The expansion of light affects all levels of consciousness. On the individual level, it begins to reveal what has been hidden from awareness because it was too painful to see before now. Simultaneously, it creates a greater capacity for love and joy because of increased contact with an inner wellspring that is the sacred essence of every human being.



On the level of relationships, the advent of greater light reveals more of the truth that relationships hold, making it possible to discern which of these serve the purposes of growth and wholeness, and which limit these and are being held onto out of fear.



On the global level, the effect of increased light is to release into collective awareness, impulses of a negative nature that were more deeply buried and more tightly bound. These impulses can also become amplified by larger energies which seek to turn the process of purification to their own ends. Such a pursuit could not be successful if such energies and motivations were not already present within the human heart. Yet, impulses such as those that give rise to terrorism in its many forms, to genocidal behavior, and to all practices of cruelty of one individual to another, are all aspects of darkness which the larger energies can capitalize on.

As purification continues, light and darkness will continue to separate and energies of darkness will continue to make themselves known. On a planetary level, no matter how much this may appear to be the result of the actions or intentions of any one nation, it is more importantly happening because it is mankind's time of release from bondage - the beginning of a process of being set free from all that prevents the expansion of greater love. Despite the painful effects of this process as we witness them today, what is being released into consciousness will ultimately be freed from the personal self and the world's self. What will remain is a changed humanity, capable of experiencing greater freedom to love.

In the meantime, many suffer during this time of transition, and the heart that is opening to greater love must be concerned for them all. Yet, concern is not despair, nor is it the loss of hope. Indeed, those who seek to move through this time without being influenced by the negative energies need to hold the reality of light while holding the suffering. Such anchoring affirms our trust in God's sacred intention to bring light out of darkness, and to bring the earth forward as a planet and as a participant in the brotherhood of planets whose consciousness is based on light. Though this may seem like a distant and implausible vision, its truth lies deeply buried within the human heart. For there are those who are our brothers and sisters on the earth who wait for this time of transition to end and for peace and harmony to prevail. And there are those who are part of the greater life of the universe who also await the outcome of this sacred time of emergence.

Let us pray that no matter what we must go through in the process of purification, that the presence of greater light remain firmly anchored in our hearts so that however strong the opposing currents, we are able to remain faithful to a life based on the principle of love.



And let us pray, also, that love for this planet and for all beings rest within each and every heart, and that the earth itself be blessed as it moves into greater light.

It is said to give you the power to eliminate fear, trauma and stress and other negative emotions from your daily routine without resorting to surgery or other extensive medical procedures. Due in large part to the fact that it does not involve any surgical procedure, pill intake or needle-pricking --hence minimizing negative side effects -- as well as to its one-size-fits-all appeal, EFT is now being promoted for use in all aspects of an average individual's life.

Among the things we consider most important towards achieving personal satisfaction and fulfillment is professional development or success in business. And this part of our life has not escaped the notice of EFT enthusiasts around the world. They believe that the Emotional Freedom Techniques originally devised by Gary Craig can spell the big difference between being a business washout or an economic genius.

Taking into consideration the fact that Craig's intention in developing EFT was to help people remove stress and cope with anxiety disorders, we have to concede that they could be right. For how can one be successful in business if he lives in a constant state of emotional stress? And how can one move forward in the business world if all his best intentions and ideas are overshadowed by an inherent fear of rejection and failure?

By employing the Emotional Freedom Techniques, we are able to slowly let go of all the negative feelings and memories that have burdened us all these years. In a way, we are making our personal "Declaration of Independence" -- independence from stress, from fear, from envy, from anything and everything that hinders us from reaching our full potential as individuals. As a result of this independence, we become more positive in our outlook; thus allowing wealth, success and well-being to flow freely into our lives.

As you begin to make the technique a habit, you will notice its effects in subtle changes in your character. You begin to relax a bit while preparing for an important business presentation and become more confident in public speaking engagements. After a while, other people will see these changes as well and they will realize that you have become less irritable -- generally, you shout less and smile more often. And because EFT does not only address money-making issues, but is primarily geared towards creating balance and total development in the individual, you get the bonus of feeling good and looking better than you have looked for years.

What's best is that this method enables us to use our own healing energies in the privacy of our own home to relieve ourselves of psychological and emotional burdens. We do not have to go through the embarrassment of having to share our failures with others, as in an AA-type therapy session. Nor do we have to make a nuisance of ourselves by having to consult a professional every once in a while just to complain about imaginary aches and pains. EFT has, indeed, given us the chance to take matters into our own hands and take the necessary steps towards turning our business failures into shining success stories.Want to Grow Your Business and Reach Your Core?Apply EFTto rejuvenate yourself and get relax from business-related tensions,activate new sensations,rebalancing physical and mental emotions,unlocking energies,just do visiteft dvd and get guidance from your eft practitioner]]> Activate Psychic Self Defense - Strengthen Your Aura http://www.artwoo.com/article/activate-psychic-self-defense-strengthen-your-aura http://www.artwoo.com/article/activate-psychic-self-defense-strengthen-your-aura#comments Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:19:56 +0000 psychological perceptionsintangible forcesphysical diseaseseveryday stresssystem actsdifferent shapesperson changes http://www.artwoo.com/article/activate-psychic-self-defense-strengthen-your-aura intangible forces are termed as `negatives'. They consume the human energy of an individual and deplete our inner self in a way that we are unable to realize or comprehend it before it's too late. These are hazardous to the welfare of a person as it influences and guides our behavior, moods, thoughts and emotions. This is why; there is a need to practice some countermeasures to fight with these negative influences.

Nowadays, there is a wide array of practices for self-defense against psychic attack. A few of them even aids in refining the and processes by regular exercises that help in the development of spiritual energy. Not only this, one can even attempt to create an electromagnetic field or aura around him or herself. The aura confines in itself , colors, sizes that changes vigorously with time as the environment around a . Aspects such as psychological assault, , others intentions towards threats, jealousy, noise, hatred, induced fear and us can deplete the aura and thereby minimize it. There are also practices that make an aura visible to a person. These exercises can even develop, retain, refine and transform the power from insignificant to the superior level.

Thus, what concerns all of us is to guard the energy within us by strengthening our aura.

Just as our immune as a defensive shield from various , in a similar way, aura is the foremost to guard us from the negatives that may hamper our rational mind. However, one should for that case avert from being in any of the negative circumstances, but these are external factors that are beyond the control of human beings. So, all one can do is to depend on their aura. A preventive measure from the negatives and a strong aura can be gained by the regular practice of meditation. An enhanced self-confidence, elevated energy, health, courage, sound sleep and respect are the proven facts that form some of the common consequences of the technique of meditation.

It does not make a superhuman being but only makes prominent the energies that are already possessed by people and were just unaware of it. The superior aura thus developed protects practitioner from any kind of confusion and psychological violence. Regularly practicing meditation can even make an individual visualize their aura. Moreover, once proficient in it, a person can then call forth his or her guarding shield at the time of emergency.

However, many of us are under the impression that an extended aura is always good and has a positive impact. But this is not true. It is necessary to maintain a balance. An aura, which has been extended beyond a normal limit sometimes, becomes more vulnerable to the negative energies around. The indications of this over-extended aura are stress, depression, joint pain, muscle pain, anxiety, depression, muscle pain and many others.

Thus, meditation comes as a solution to all kinds of problems relating to aura. If it is elevation of an aura or balancing the over-extended aura, meditation is a perfect way out.

This practice of deep breathings calms both the body and mind of an individual and activates a protective shield around it.

He Ceased to Fight for Anything

My partner Laura and I had an animated discussion about this the other day. Look, this is a warring universe. Not only are nations at war around the globe all the time, but positive and themselves are always in conflict with one another.

So the point I was making is this: you have not only the right but also an obligation to defend and preserve your home, the safety of your family and even your personal space.

You have to set the rules on how people can and can't treat you. If you don't, then the people who are driven by power without love will certainly walk all over you.

At the same time, what Laura focused on was so important I knew I had to share it with you - because it's about the working in your life. She said this to me:

When life doesn't appear to be going 'your way', don't get angry and resentful. All that does is magnetize you to more of the same (remember: the goal is to attract into your life more of what you do want).

If your wife, your husband, your children or your boss..if anyone in your life does something that hurts you or invades your space, by all means 'establish yourself' and let them know what's acceptable and what isn't.

But you have to leave it at that. If you continuously focus on the dual nature of this world, you'll only experience anguish, frustration and ultimately...failure.

(By the way, Law of Attraction is at work all the time! As I'm writing this, I decided to take a break for a minute and check email. I received three messages and one was titled, andquot;Livan War real picturesandquot;. And I'd just finished saying that this was a 'warring universe!')

Frustration, fear, resentment and feeling like everyone is out to get you - these will all be very real experiences for you if you keep your attention on them and harbor these negative energies inside yourself.

So to start working with the Law of Attraction more proactively, here is what I'd like you to do: for the next few days, practice relaxing.

If something seems to 'go against you', I want you to tell yourself, andquot;this is really working in my favor. I may not know how or why, but I believe it will lead me to better things. Say this as many times as you have to.

Tell yourself, andquot;this is really working in my favor. I may not know how or why, but I believe it will lead me to better things.andquot;

Eventually, belief and faith will turn to knowingness...you'll know with certainty that you are powerful, you are on your way to having massive success, and, most importantly: your efforts are supported by life.

* You are powerful. * You're on your way to having massive success. * Your efforts are supported by life.

To Your Accelerated Success,

Have you really thought about this? Do you apply this to your day-to-day life? Hopefully you do, because your every thought and word is contributing to your .

For openers, your thoughts produce your emotions which, in turn, result in how you feel about a particular event occurring in your life. It has always amazed me how people can walk around feeling a particular way and not understand that it is their own thoughts, or more accurately what they are telling themselves that is producing the feeling in the first place. This is why two people can look at the exact same event and have opposite feelings about it.

You are creating your own reality, , with the thoughts you choose to think and what you say, both to yourself and others.

Let's explore this a little further. Most people will agree, and science can demonstrate, that everything in our world is a field of energy and therefore has a particular frequency. The chair you're sitting on, your car, your cat, dog, you and everything else including thoughts, have a field of energy or vibration. Recent scientific work has identified particular ranges of frequencies and scientists are able to measure them. Interestingly enough, , like anger and rage, measure very low on the scale, while positive energies like those given off by reach the highest measurements.

At this point you may be wondering what this has to do with your thoughts. Bear with me and I promise to connect the .

The second part of this equation is the that states "like attracts like". This has been referred to as the , law of similar and other names. What we choose to call it is not important; what is important is to understand the part this plays in our lives.

Connecting the Dots

Let's suppose for a moment you're in a bad mood. You're feeling pretty negative. At that particular moment in time your personal vibration, the energy of your thoughts and words is in the lower frequencies. Let's call this particular mood, "Frequency X."

Now somewhere off in the distant universe, there is another negative experience. Maybe it's a flat tire, whose frequency happens to be "X" as well. By virtue of the law of attraction, you will begin attracting that or some other undesirable experience to you. There are no accidents. The universe works on a specific set of principals that do not waiver. Like attracts like, whether we believe it or not.

The good news is that the opposite is also true. If, for example, you are feeling great, having invested time sitting and reading your goals and taking care to monitor your thoughts, intentions, and your internal and external dialog, you are now entering a high energy vibration and are in a place to attract other high vibrations, generally things that you want to have, into your life.

I'm not asking you to accept this blindly, only that you begin to observe the world around you and see if this holds true for you. I'm sure you've noticed situations when, in a room full of people, one person seems to be the center of attention. Why do you suppose this is? I'll give you a hint, that it's probably not her perfume.

Similarly, you probably know people who are always having undesirable experiences in their lives. These are the people who have a lousy time in even the best restaurant. They seem to travel with dark clouds over them and always experience things going wrong in their everyday lives. If you observe and listen to them closely, you will begin to see the connection between what they think and say and what shows up in their lives.

Your exercise for the next few days is to closely monitor your every thought and word. When you catch yourself dwelling in the negative, do something to interrupt your pattern and substitute a positive though in it's place. It has been said that any thought consistently held for about 15 to 20 seconds will begin to attract a similar energy. This is one of the reasons you want to read your life's vision and goals daily. This will hold your attention on thoughts of that which you want and help you bring it toward you.Jim Donovan is the author of several critically acclaimed self-help books, including "Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck" and "This is Your Life, Not a Dress Rehearsal," published in 22 countries.
