Bitter melon or Momordica Charantia is a vegetable which grows in tropical areas like East Africa, Asia, South Africa, and the Caribbean. This vegetable is rich in iron, beta carotene, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and other dietary fibres. In many countries, it is also used as a herbal medicine due to its properties that help improve insulin production. Clinical studies show that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_melon" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Bitter melon">bitter melon</a> increases the production of beta cells in the pancreas which leads to improvement in the insulin production of the body. It is also believed to be beneficial for the liver and can act as an anti-tumour agent. Because of its health benefits, bitter melon is used by many as an alternative treatment for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Diabetes mellitus">diabetes</a>. </div><div class="zemanta-img" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="zemanta-img" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diabetes is a disease that is characterized by the presence of high levels of blood glucose and by the secretion of excess glucose in the urine. This ailment develops because of relatively low levels of insulin which leads to irregular carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Diabetic persons feel hungry and thirsty most of the time. In addition, these people get easily tired physically and mentally. They may also suffer from constipation, excessive itchiness around the genital area, and general weakness. Other body parts that are affected by diabetes are the heart, kidney, eyes, blood vessels, and the nerves. In addition to these health effects, diabetes is one of the major causes of erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence among men. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diabetes causes impotence because it alters the body systems such as the circulatory, nervous, and the endocrine system. The organs in these systems all work in harmony to let blood flow into the penis so an erection can take place. Higher levels of glucose caused by diabetes damages the blood vessels and the nerves. Complications in the state of blood vessels may hamper the flow of blood to the penis, hampering erection. In addition, a number of medical studies show that diabetic persons are more likely to have low testosterone levels. Testosterone is a hormone that is responsible for enhanced libido, energy, and other reproductive health concerns. Men with type 1 diabetes are more likely to become impotent once they reach 40 years of age.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many health experts are recommending the use of alternative medicines like better melons for diabetic management. Many studies show that bitter melon is able to reduce the blood sugar levels in the body. Charantin, polypeptide P, and oleanolic acid glucosides are some of the ingredients of bitter melon that are essential in diabetes treatment. Charantin consists of mixtures of natural steroids which are shown to reduce blood sugar levels in the body. Polypeptide P contains alkaloids that can also promote healthy blood sugar levels. Oleanolic acid glycosides, on the other hand, may prevent the retention of sugar from the intestines. Improvements in this area lead to improved insulin levels in the body. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diabetes can be treated with alternative medicine and adjustments in lifestyles. Many health experts advice diabetic persons to include bitter melon in their diet to reduce their intake of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-diabetic_medication" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Anti-diabetic medication">anti-diabetic drugs</a>. This alternative healing method, however, should not be regarded as a stand-alone treatment.</div>

All twelve sun signs have different personalities, different characteristics, different elements and different qualities. These differences mean that a particular sun sign becomes perfectly compatible with only a few other astrological signs.

Cherry blossom tattoos are some of the most popular tattoo designs for women currently. The beauty and delicate nature of a cherry blossom can't be denied. In both Japanese and Chinese cultures, the cherry blossom is full of symbolic meaning and significance. Before deciding to get a cherry blossom tattoo design it makes sense to understand the symbolism and deep cultural connections and meaning that this tattoo might hold. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After all the best tattoo designs are ones that hold a great deal of symbolic significance. Typically the tattoo that is universally regretted is the one that was gotten while out with a bunch of friends just because they were getting one. So don't fall into the trap and regret your tattoo later in life. Instead, if you are planning on getting a tattoo at least take the time to research the symbolism and meaning behind it and see if it speaks to you and if the ideas are significant in your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While many people tend to blend and confuse the Japanese and Chinese culture together from lack of knowledge the two are very different in many ways. Therefore the meaning and symbolism that the cherry blossom holds is different in each culture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Chinese Cherry Blossom</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the Chinese, the cherry blossom is a very significant symbol of power. Typically it represents feminine beauty and sexuality and often holds an idea of power or feminine dominance. Within the language of herbs and herbal lore of the Chinese, the cherry blossom is often the symbol of love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Japanese Cherry Blossom</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the Japanese, the cherry blossom holds a very different meaning. The cherry blossom is a very delicate flower that blooms for a very short time. For the Japanese, this represents the transience of life. This concept ties in very deeply with the fundamental teachings of Buddhism that state all life is suffering and transitory. The Japanese have long held strong to the Buddhist belief of the transitory nature of life and it is very noble to not get too attached to a particular outcome or not become emotional because it will all pass in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fallen cherry blossom is not taken lightly in Japanese symbolism either. It often represents the beauty of snow and there are many connections made in Japanese literature or poetry to fallen cherry blossom and snow. This also has been extended to the life of a warrior whose life was ended early in the battle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see in both cultures the symbolism and meaning behind the cherry blossom are very significant and powerful at the same time. It is important to think about these symbols and connect this with what you personally believe the cherry blossom represents. If you still want to get a cherry blossom tattoo and the above meaning from the Japanese culture or the Chinese culture do not speak to you or you somehow view the cherry blossom in a very different way then it is okay to still get a cherry blossom tattoo. However, it is always important to know the symbolism before getting a tattoo permanently done.</div>

We are unable to take along with us our house, our money, our possessions, our titles, etc. What we do take along are things that are immaterial--our knowledge, our memories, our karma, our habits, our character, our spiritual and psychic development, our aspirations and desires. We can see from this that our purpose in this world, in this physical plane, is in connection with those immaterial things mentioned above, and if--and metaphysics declare it to be so--evolution is a law of Nature, a Cosmic law, then our true purpose is to evolve, to improve and to purify those immaterial things. Our greatest opportunity in this world is the correct use of time. Use this gift of God searching for Truth and not wasting it on non-essentials.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps after being a little pessimistic about reflecting on death just awhile ago we may now be cheerful and be optimistic about life and to carry out the main purpose of physical existence instead of wasting our precious time, energy and resources on immoderate and excessive entertainment: too much-watching TV, too much sex, the taking of drugs, and indulgence in other material devices invented and designed by the Dark forces to sidetrack and make us forget our divine heritage, the purpose of being and our mission here on Earth. This is the nature of evil: it diverts us from experiencing our true soul-purpose and need. Anything that distracts us from improving our soul nature, our character, our morals, or acquiring metaphysical knowledge of Cosmic laws and truths, is to be considered as an evil mechanism and an intruder to our microcosmic system. These evil intruders sometimes work in such a subtle manner at times that even disciples of metaphysics are sometimes caught off-guard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Pure Life</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A metaphysical life entails living a life of purity. Even before approaching a Master for an apprenticeship, a pure, spiritual, constructive life should be lived as best as one is able to. The degree of purity within us can be seen and felt by the Spiritual Masters and Adepts of metaphysics and the occult. They know our spiritual state and status by the colors and the luminosity of our aura, by our facial expression, by the quality of the emanations of our eyes, and by the way, we think, speak and act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the above, we do not imply that one has to be a saint in order to be a worthy student of the occult or metaphysics. What we are saying is that purity is a necessary quality to possess and to develop when one becomes a serious student of the occult. It is an indispensable quality for it prepares our psycho-biological system, our nervous systems to withstand intense energies that we invoke from the higher worlds through our occult and metaphysical studies. We often hear of people going insane because of their involvement with the occult or metaphysics. This is because of their lack of purity. Their nervous systems were not able to sustain the spiritual vibrations coursing through them. When this occurs, as mentioned before, the nervous system ruptures, certain brain cells and nerve centers are destroyed, and the etheric webs protecting the student from overexposure to impressions of higher frequencies coming from the other dimensions, are shattered. One is then unable to shift focus from one reality to another but is opened to both. This causes too much strain. Insanity is the sad result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spiritual energy invoked through mystical practices also evokes the undesirable elements lying within us. If these elements are not cleared by a process of purification, they would cause us trouble. This is not to say that metaphysics or the occult is an unsafe study. There is danger in everything. One simply needs the right information and common sense, and take precautionary measures when delving into any study, especially metaphysics and the occult.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Purification is a multi-level process. It should occur on all levels of the microcosm. For instance, our physical body, our blood-stream, our energy-structures, our emotions, our minds, our aura, and chakras, all need to undergo purification. The Path of Purification is a basic step in any system of occult, metaphysical, and spiritual study. To neglect this essential step is to open-up ourselves to spiritual dangers. Any Guru neglecting the Path of Purification in his or her metaphysical system is a false teacher working against the evolutionary tide and spiritual current. It is not beyond the means of an average person to become pure and holy. The difficulty is that people do not see purity or holiness for what it is. They have many erroneous concepts regarding it. For instance, some of us believe that to be holy one has to seclude oneself from society, be celibate, or wear white robes or even tattered clothing. They believe that to be holy one must dress oneself in some special way or wear a certain hairstyle or do strange things, or act a little mad. These are all fallacies. We should all strive for holiness by being what we truly are, and not be what we think ourselves to be. In the name of Light, Life and Love, we appeal to all students to be pure and holy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A Balanced Approach Towards Metaphysics</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In metaphysics or in the occult, the student is requested to take a balanced approach. There are three factors that students have to consider:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1) Knowledge of metaphysical laws, principles, and cosmic truths.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2) Unfoldment of spiritual and psychic senses, faculties, and abilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3) Acceleration of one's spiritual development, of one's soul evolution.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pursuit of these three together in a harmonious way is necessary for developing well-rounded attainment. When one is over-emphasized and the others compromised as to their importance, then trouble results for the metaphysical student. For instance, too much knowledge without spiritual abilities and spiritual development results in a poor instrument, one ineffective in the service of men, and one filled with pride and vanity. Psychic abilities without the knowledge and a degree of spiritual advancement cause similar symptoms as the above--pride and vanity, together with a poor understanding of what one registers through the psychic centers. Though one be "spiritual," without metaphysical knowledge and understanding one is often deluded and misled by psychic forces. One falls into the trap of glamour and illusion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be spiritually developed without adequate knowledge and psychic ability results in one's ineffectiveness in serving humanity. We can see from this that the problem facing the metaphysical student is the correct pursuit and development of those three factors simultaneously. The unfoldment of these three factors causes that Divine Spark (Spirit), the Soul-Flame within us to grow in strength and magnitude. This Spark is threefold. There is a will-power aspect (blue), a love-wisdom aspect (pink) and an intelligence-understanding aspect (yellow). This divine flame, metaphysically, has its location within our physical heart and is about 2 cm in size. It is representative of the Higher Soul within the microcosm which is likewise threefold in nature. Esoteric students of Theosophy, for instance, call these components of the threefold Soul, atma, buddhi, and manas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Too often metaphysical, occult, or so-called spiritual Gurus teach on the basis of a single approach. This does much harm to the student and to society in the long run, or in the very least, it does no lasting good. Advanced teachers, or true Spiritual Masters would synthesize the above three factors. Their approach as a synthesis of those triune factors, would be practical, instructive, and informative.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let us look again at those three factors. What do we mean by occult and metaphysical knowledge? By such knowledge we mean of the following :</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knowledge concerning, the origin of Spirit-Man; the origin of human beings; the origin of the solar system; civilizations of unrecorded history; the real history of man; man's purpose of being; the progression and the transmission of the ageless teachings throughout the centuries; the origin of religion; the Mystery Schools; the occult anatomy of man; man's latent powers and faculties; the secret teachings and oral tradition of the prophets; the nature and laws governing the higher worlds and man; the application of Cosmic laws; the hidden laws of this three-dimensional world; the principles of counseling and healing; the nature of man, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, what do we mean by the unfoldment of psychic and spiritual abilities? What are they? Here are just a few: the ability to register spiritual impulses emanating from the Soul, the Spirit, the Spiritual Hierarchy, one's spiritual group, and Master; telepathy; the ability to direct the elements and forces of Nature; spiritual vision; etheric vision; the ability to function consciously in the higher worlds; the ability to attune with the Divine Cosmic Mind; the ability to know the past, present and future; the ability to heal body, mind and soul; the power to create; etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And lastly, what do we mean by spiritual development? We mean expanding one's consciousness; opening up the intuitive channels; the transcendence of the false ego; the expression of one's divinity; oneness with Nature, God and one's fellow-men; the purification of one's thoughts, words, and actions; the realization and awareness of one's true identity, and the unfoldment of all spiritual virtues and attitudes such as sacrifice, renunciation, detachment, steadfastness, endurance, strength, self-control, patience, magnanimity, purity, heroism, truthfulness, generosity, compassion, understanding, love, affection, serenity, faithfulness, altruism, tolerance, reason, devotion, adaptability, sincerity, joy, discernment between the real and the unreal, service, balance, beauty, harmony, creativity, confidence, perception, reverence, sympathy, punctuality, love, tenderness, gratitude, gentleness, harmlessness, inclusiveness, desirelessness, forgiveness, trust, self-discipline, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So far we have used the words occult, metaphysics, and spirituality interchangeably. At this time this suits our purpose, but we have to realize that these terms are not synonymous and each has a specific definition of their own. To these terms, we may include mysticism, magick, parapsychology, parapsychic science, and esotericism as each having a definite meaning and yet still connected with metaphysics in general. In the course of one's metaphysical study, one would gradually come to realize the fundamental difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Humility and Fearlessness</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So far, we have already dealt at some length with the qualities that the candidate of metaphysical studies has to possess, such as purity and an open mind. Other important qualities are those of humility and fearlessness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Humility is the quality of acknowledging the greatness of God as expressing throughout Nature. It is the realization that no matter what one attains or what one becomes there is always room for further growth. Thus, one never views oneself as representing final attainment such as being the smartest kid in school, for one knows that there are still others much smarter than oneself. There is always room for improvement. We should not just look down before us, look upwards as well and see that there are others far above us. Reaching one peak allows us to see a higher summit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is pride in thinking of being wise or in being stupid. There is also pride in thinking of being rich or being poor. The writer has often heard people lamenting on how poor they are, and they enjoy saying this and proving it. They would take quite a lot of trouble to prove that they are poor and that none are in as much a need as themselves. This is pride expressing itself, for they fail to see that they possess many of God's precious gifts to them, such as their senses to register impressions, their minds to think, their will to act, and their hands and feet to carry-out their desire; in short, all that is required to manifesting prosperity. Such people are ungrateful beings. In this, they show their lack of humility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When approaching an Occult Master in an egoistic manner, he would most certainly reprimand us verbally . . . or in silence. Such applicants for the teachings are quickly shown the exit. Demanding to be taught indicates one's unreadiness for occultism and metaphysics. Instead of requesting from the Guru the higher teachings, one should come to realize that one still requires the lower teachings and disciplines from the many challenges that life has to offer and instruct us. All of these challenges are simply for the purpose of taming the human ego. The ego when unbridled, is an unfit vessel for metaphysical and spiritual teachings. Where the ego strives, their humility dies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fear is one of the obstacles to metaphysical understanding and awareness. Approaching and advancing on the occult path entails facing many enemies and frightening phenomena, the worst of these is our own lower self with its many subconscious projections which in occult circles is called the Dweller on the Threshold. If we wish to pursue occult studies, fearlessness is a paramount virtue to possess, for in truth nothing can hurt us unless we give it the power to do so. One of the maxims of the Great White Brotherhood is to know, to dare, to do, and to be silent. Make this maxim a part of yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the maxim above the student is advised to be silent. It is disrespectful to the teacher and to the Cosmic to reveal secret and esoteric matters to those unprepared for it. Be ever watchful of your mouth, for as the Master Jesus said: "Do not cast pearls before swines." Silence is a protective quality. It protects the person who keeps silent on sacred matters as well as others who may be inclined to misuse the information. Assume silence when you should be silent and only speak when others are not courageous enough to defend Truth. Silence is golden at the right place and at the right time, and on sacred matters. Students will progress more rapidly should silence be a part of their being. Do not draw attention to yourself. Do not speak of your occult experiences to those unsympathetic to metaphysics, for this would simply provide them with offensive weapons.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In metaphysics too often than not, one may encounter contradictions. These contradictions may just be apparent and not real. Truth is like a cut diamond with its many facets. Keep in mind that what is relatively true is synonymous to being relatively false. However, in cases of contradictions, adopt that which seems more logical to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is an important article and the student is advised to consider it wisely. It is hoped that the student be sincere and apply these teachings that he or she may acquire the virtues that we have referred to. In the days of Atlantis, men misused and abused occult and metaphysical teachings. This was one of the direct reasons why the continent submerged and leaving very few traces as to its geographical location, its place in the memory of men, or in our history books. Many civilizations ended drastically because of the misuse and exploitation of knowledge for selfish ends. People mistakenly believe that the ends justify the means. This is false. The means determine the end. Let us not repeat our ancient mistakes, as it interrupts the evolutionary process and causes the holy ones to weep.</div>

Before one approaches seriously the study of metaphysics, magick, the occult, or mysticism, it is appropriate that one prepares oneself on all levels: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is of vital importance that the student be psychologically prepared for the reception of Cosmic truths; for without adequate preparation, without the required purity, the right attitude and the right motive, one simply deludes or sidetracks oneself from all that which is essential in the occult study to those phenomena and teachings that are unessential, delusive, and misleading; to phenomena that simply strengthen one's hold in a world of illusion, glamour, pride and ego; aside from this, should one attempt occult work without due preparation one exposes oneself to certain dangers which are far-reaching. Without adequate preparation, the student would abuse and misuse occult, spiritual teachings and powers.
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The karmic consequences of this abuse may stall or cause stagnation in one's spiritual evolution for countless incarnations. Basically, religion without the theological dogmas is an appropriate basis for the study of metaphysics. Students of metaphysics are advised to deepen their religious activities by engaging in personal study of their scriptures or holy book without relying on the usual channels or interpreters for clarification. This is to preserve one's bicameral mind from external influence and dependency on "authority figures" that may be damaging to the psyche in the long run.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Purity, sincerity, humility, and a selfless motive which seeks to serve one's fellow men are qualities to possess or develop when requesting from, or studying the teachings of a spiritual/ metaphysical teacher, or even when embarking on our own by studying books on the occult. These qualities or virtues are our safeguards. They protect us from negative forces which affect our mental and emotional stability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the keys to preparation is to eliminate the false ego from our thinking and centeredness. Think from the Christ level. Think the thoughts of Jesus, Muhammad-the Prophet, Krishna, Lao Tze, or Buddha. What do you think these avatars and prophets of God think constantly of? They think of God, Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Therefore we advise each student to do likewise. Thinking abstract thoughts, divine thoughts, spiritual thoughts, and holy thoughts raise the vibrations of the physical, etheric, astral and mental bodies. This facilitates metaphysical and spiritual development so needed by the human race. It improves the quality of humanity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the problems which pose as an obstacle to occult and metaphysical study is that of the crystallized mind. As a preparation, the first step that has to be undertaken by the student of metaphysics and the occult is to temporary put away all previous concepts and beliefs regarding them. There are many false beliefs and superstition concerning the occult perpetuated by ignorant individuals, by psychics of a low calibre, by secular education, and even by religion, that we have to cast all of those beliefs aside and prepare our minds to really think and use our reason and intuition. Even if we had learnt metaphysics or branches of it previously from genuine teachers, it is still required of us to shelve them aside when we begin our apprenticeship under a new tutor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our minds should be open and receptive to the teachings of the higher worlds, but if our minds are closed and crystallized, we fail to register the truths concealed in the occult and metaphysical teachings regarding the laws of the cosmos, the higher worlds, the principles of mind and one's psychic nature. If the teachings of any metaphysical system or teacher (including this writer) contradict your personal notions and feelings and you have trouble accepting them, simply shelve them aside for the time being and consider them again at a later date when you have acquired more experiences and knowledge. Realize, however, that most of the time opinions and beliefs do not reflect Truth. We teach what we personally know or what others personally know. We do not proselytize or impose our words upon others against their will. We are happy to give to others the teachings of the Spiritual Masters should they be receptive and just as happy not to give should they be non-receptive. We can lead a horse to a drinking trough but we are unable to make it drink.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Granted, that information concerning the occult the tyro or neophyte often has to regard as a hypothesis, or working theories, but in time the student is given methods for investigating and proving to himself the verities of metaphysical truths and the realities of the higher worlds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We seek knowledge, wisdom, and experience--not mere beliefs. For the student of Nature's mysteries, beliefs will not do. Beliefs are blatant expressions of one's ignorance, for if one knows, why is there a need for beliefs? If one should say that one believes in the existence of something, one implies in that statement that one does not really know if that something exists. Belief and knowledge are poles apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In spiritual and occult training one invokes intense energies, powers and forces emanating from the spiritual worlds. These energies flow into the whole microcosm even down to the physical level. Should the physical body and its force-field vibrate at a very low level because of the presence of impurities, toxins, and negative forces, the nervous and energy systems of the physical and etheric bodies would explode and rupture during the influx of those higher energies. This is one reason why one embarks upon the Path of Purification prior to engaging in advance occult work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Master's Advice</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In days gone by, when a student approached a spiritual or occult master for instructions, the master would say "empty your cup." The master illustrates the purpose of this by pouring fresh tea into a cup already filled to the brim with the liquid. The tea would naturally overflow. "Likewise," the master would say, "will the teachings I fill your mind be rejected by all of your previous thoughts and false beliefs. Therefore, empty your cup." Which means, in other words, "empty your mind of previous ideas and conceptions." Most people are disinclined to accept new ideas. They dislike change, and yet we must change towards a positive direction if we are to progress. There are a senseless fear and laziness in most people in operating their brain faculties such as using their mind to reason. Our minds must be open and flexible, yet putting all new ideas to the test where possible before accepting them. We must strive to see the logic and rationality in concepts, if any, that are new to us. In other words, we must think! It would not hurt to be critical in a positive and constructive sense of novel ideas or even religious ideas if we believe that our criticism is valid. Although the mind is limited, it has its purpose and we should not shirk from using it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is an important requirement for the occult student not to form any false ideas concerning himself and lower his self-esteem. He should not limit his mind and divine expression by saying "I can't do this," "I can't do that." One never knows what one can do until one tries. This applies to all branches of learning and study. Often we hear people say "nobody's perfect," and they use this as an excuse not to improve their morality, their character, their minds or even their social standing. If one approaches the study of metaphysics and the occult in this manner, one is bound to fail. Metaphysics is hard work, and those who are not interested in work should leave metaphysics alone. Metaphysical truths awaken a person from self-complacency and the slumber of mortal errors. The student of metaphysics should be prepared for this and not rebel when it occurs. When you come to the point where you can think of nothing but metaphysics in your everyday activities, you shall succeed in being a metaphysician. Metaphysics has to be incorporated into one's life 24 hours a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Studying the occult and metaphysics requires great perseverance, endurance, patience, and fortitude. It even requires a certain degree of intelligence. Note that we do not say education or intellect, for the educated mind and intellect at times can be more of a hindrance than an asset. Unless our mind is receptive and open to modifying previous findings or concepts expounded by science or religion which from the point of view of metaphysics are erroneous, one would simply fail in metaphysical study and the probing of Nature's higher laws. The intellect, as the result of education, is simply the building blocks that we accumulate, whereas intelligence is the conscious directive power that builds an edifice out of those blocks. Being educated implies gathering data and information that may or may not be true or even relevant to one's life. We should seek the sort of knowledge that is applicable to our everyday lives with its countless challenges and problems. Overcoming human problems is mastership. Intelligence is a necessary attribute to comprehending metaphysical principles. You need not be concerned of any lack of intelligence, however, for metaphysical practices itself raises one's I.Q., E.Q., and S.Q.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some occultists, metaphysicians, and mystics have declared that it is much easier acquiring an academic degree than getting fruitful results from the occult study. This is indeed true, for occult study requires unfolding the inner senses to register higher vibrations and the various phenomena of the higher dimensions, and this takes much time and energy for practice and training. The purpose of the metaphysical study is to make each and every one torchbearer of Truth. Work for Truth, live in Truth, promote Truth and it is guaranteed that you will evolve into God's Light. However, seek no reward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Metaphysical development requires time, patience, perseverance and great concentration--the type of concentration not normally possessed by the average person. This training of psychic and metaphysical faculties may take a whole lifetime for its perfect functioning and control. We should not be daunted by this, however. The Master Jesus said, "In patience possess ye your soul," and this each student of metaphysics must be conscientious of. The student must have patience and possess his or her soul and not allow the Dark forces to possess it. In metaphysics we learn to direct our lower self, if we do not do this, negative beings will.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is expedient that the student removes religious and any form of prejudice from his mind and heart. At times teachers of metaphysics may refer to the text of one religion in preference to another to illustrate or substantiate certain metaphysical concepts. This they do, not because of their personal background and not because of any animosity toward the other religions, but because of convenience sake. We know that the essence of all religions is Truth itself. Metaphysicians, therefore, teach and refer to the Truth in all religions whenever possible. This brings up another subject to mind: fanaticism. Fanaticism is not to be tolerated, not in metaphysics, not in religion, not in any human endeavour whatsoever. Fanaticism simply indicates a blind belief in principles and opinions, most of which may be dubious as to their validity. Fanaticism is separatistic, narrow-minded and destructive, and should be avoided. It breaks up unity by creating divisions and schisms. It is the very antithesis of the spiritual precept: "unity in diversity." The motto of the Dark forces will always be "divide and conquer."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man is a microcosm of the macrocosm. In religious terms, man is a reflection of God, for he/she was made in God's image. Since God is perfect, man likewise, in a spiritual sense, is perfect. A man carries the seeds of perfection within him. He only needs to unfold this divine seed of perfection lying dormant within him. When this is done all things become possible to man. In order to nurture these divine seeds, one must overcome inertia and work with the evolutionary forces of Nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Motive of Study</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first few things that a student of metaphysic has to do is to introspect and analyze as to the motive for approaching metaphysical study. Why does one want to study metaphysics, its branches, and its various arts such as magick, mysticism, esotericism, psychometry, dowsing, or telepathy? For what reason? For what motive? Is it simply to gain an advantage over another, for power over others? Or is it simply to acquire name and fame or the riches that it will produce? Approaching metaphysics with such motives would retard one's spiritual growth and is not condoned by any spiritual teacher of worth. A true and noble motive would be to serve God and humanity in spiritualizing this physical world, in manifesting Heaven on Earth, where Truth, Justice, Righteousness, Love, Peace and Goodwill between men prevails. Should your motive be negative, you are advised to transform it now. Do not deceive yourself as to your motive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing that we must not do, is to steal the secrets of heaven or gain entry into it by force, meaning that we should not force our occult growth by engaging in dubious exercises obtained through sources with no real integrity or authority to transmitting them and hoping for instant development with their application. Should occult abilities be "instantly" procured, it would not be permanent and would result in adverse effects in most cases. We all know the low quality of plants cultivated in greenhouses as compared to the cultivation done underneath Nature's roof. It is the same with metaphysical growth. Heaven is not willing to release her secrets to the profane, and if by chance any of us acquire her secrets and apply them without the proper motive and purity, we unknowingly curse ourselves. The scriptures say that God is not mocked. This is a symbolic way of saying that the Law of Karma is operative and no one is able to avoid its influence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The student should be aware that there are false Gurus in the metaphysical field. Every student should be wary and cautious in accepting what they have to teach, for though what they teach be sweet to the mouth, their effects may be bitter to the stomach. These Gurus have no sense of responsibility, and they control and manipulate the minds of their followers for their own nefarious reasons. They create a morbid dependency on the part of the student.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Without the adequate and correct preparation through the Path of Purification, although one may unfold in a psychic manner, if accepted and trained by a "Guru," one would limit one's psychic development and stagnate in one's spiritual evolution. The higher occult and mystical abilities require that one be spiritually developed, and this cannot be attained without the necessary purification of the microcosm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spiritual Masters of the occult and metaphysics are wary and watchful of students with impure motives. It is not unusual for Spiritual Masters to reject applicants for study or to put them through certain tests, or to give them some advice and told to return at a later date, perhaps a week, or a year later. Just because a student is anxious to study the occult does not imply that he is ready for it or that he should be accepted by a Spiritual Master or Adept. Acceptance by a Spiritual Master and the initiations that he has to offer requires sincerity of motive and more besides. The false Guru may perhaps accept such a student for personal reasons--for fame, name, glory or wealth. The true Guru, however, never consider these things as criteria for accepting students, although he may work in strange ways that sometimes seem amoral or irrational in order to test candidates. An occult axiom states that "When the student is ready, the master appears." The advice here is to make oneself ready through proper preparation and not sit and wait and twiddle one's thumbs. The master in this axiom may refer to a spiritual being, one's personal spiritual guide or guardian, or even to a metaphysical school.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should be known that the metaphysical path is a strenuous one requiring every minute of the day. One does not engage in metaphysics at certain spare moments available. One must make time for the study and practice of metaphysics. Reduce unnecessary socializing and reduce watching TV and movies to a bare minimum; preferable not at all wasting time on them. This may result in some conflict between your friends and relatives as you settle-in to your new metaphysical routine, but consider this: what is more important, their egoistic and personal gratification and demands or your study of Truth with its eternal worth and its spiritual application in the affairs of men? It is up to you to decide; however, if results are not forthcoming from your practice because of your lack of application, you have no one to blame but yourself. One piece of advice: you may drop-out from the metaphysical study but never drop-out from life, for it may be that your real metaphysical teacher and lesson is life itself. Accept whatever life brings and learn from it; otherwise, seek to change it using your God-given creative powers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Contemplation of Life and Death</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps one of the things that a novice of metaphysics is told to do at the very outset by a true metaphysical or spiritual teacher is to contemplate the meaning of death and the opportunity that life offers. This dual theme is a healthy, sane, and balanced contemplation that when analyzed individually tends to produce an unhealthy pessimistic or overly hopeful attitude. How does one begin this contemplation? By reflecting on the following: first of all, realize that we are all heading toward physical death, This might seem discouraging nevertheless is a true statement that cannot be contradicted. With every second, with every breath that we take, we approach closer to our grave. Nature guarantees us nothing in life but our coming demise. This is her promise. We do not know when we will leave the physical body permanently. It may be the next hour, today or tomorrow, but leave it we shall. From these musings, questions would arise: "What then is the meaning of life?" What is the purpose of life?" Shall we say as the materialists would say, "let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die"? What sort of a philosophy is that when our query remains unanswered? It would be preferable to say "let us study the purpose and meaning of life for we know not when we will pass away and God's purpose for us here may not be carried-out if we spend our time on frivolous matters."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Contemplating further, we will realize one major thing, and that life here is an opportunity. Opportunity for what? An opportunity to grow, to become, and to be. Heraclitus, the philosopher of ancient Greece said that everything is becoming. This is the Law of Change. From our metaphysical point of view, we understand that he was referring to the Law of Evolution.</div>

Biofuels are produced by converting organic matter into fuel for powering our
society. These biofuels are an alternative energy source to the fossil fuels
that we currently depend upon. The biofuels umbrella includes under its aegis
ethanol and derivatives of plants such as sugar cane, as well aS vegetable and
corn oils. However, not all ethanol products are designed to be used as a kind
of gasoline. The International Energy Agency (IEA) tells us that ethanol could
comprise up to 10 percent of the world's usable gasoline by 2025, and up to 30
percent by 2050. Today, the percentage figure is two percent.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, we have a long way to go to refine and make economic and practical
these biofuels that we are researching. A study by Oregon State University
proves this. We have yet to develop biofuels that are as energy-efficient as
gasoline made from petroleum. Energy efficiency is the measure of how much
usable energy for our needed purposes is derived from a certain amount of
input energy. (Nothing that mankind has ever used has derived more energy from
output than from what the needed input was. What has always been important is
the conversion—the end-product energy is what is useful for our needs, while
the input energy is just the effort it takes to produce the end-product.) The
OSU study found corn-derived ethanol to be only 20% energy efficient (gasoline
made from petroleum is 75% energy efficient). Biodiesel fuel was recorded at
69% energy efficiency. However, the study did turn up one positive:
cellulose-derived ethanol was charted at 85% efficiency, which is even higher
than that of the fantastically efficient nuclear energy.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, oil futures have been down on the New York Stock Exchange, as
analysts from several different countries are predicting a surge in biofuel
availability which would offset the value of oil, dropping crude oil prices on
the international market to $40 per barrel or thereabouts. The Chicago
Stock Exchange has a grain futures market that is starting to “steal”
investment activity away from the oil futures in NY, as investors are
definitely expecting better profitability to start coming from biofuels.
Indeed, it is predicted by a consensus of analysts that biofuels shall be
supplying seven percent of the entire world's transportation fuels by the year
2030. One certain energy markets analyst has said, growth in demand for diesel
and gasoline may slow down dramatically if the government subsidizes firms
distributing biofuels and further pushes to promote the use of eco-friendly
fuel.

There are several nations that are seriously involved in the development of
biofuels.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is Brazil, which happens to be the world's biggest producer of ethanols
derived from sugars. It produces approximately three and a half billion
gallons of ethanol per year.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The United States, while being the world's greatest oil-guzzler, is already
the second-largest producer of biofuels behind Brazil.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The European Union's biodiesel production capacity is now in excess of four
million (British) tonnes. 80 percent of the EU's biodiesel fuels are derived
from rapeseed oil; soybean oil and a marginal quantity of palm oil comprise
the other 20 percent.

<span class="zemanta-img-attribution"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the most important aspects of installing the headstone is fixing within the ground. There has been much publicity about the hazards of falling or unsecured headstones and recent health and safety legislation have been put in place, many unsafe headstones being laid down to prevent accidents. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is the responsibility of the mason to assess the ground conditions and decide which is the most suitable foundation and fixing method to be used. There are certain recommended fixing methods that are detailed by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.namm.org/" rel="homepage nofollow" target="_blank" title="NAMM Show">NAMM</a>’s code of practice, which has been tested by an independent structural engineer. Particular attention should be paid to the hole size and depth stops to ensure the fixing is not compromised. The most common fixing types which are being recommended by NAMM and adopted by masons are anchor fixing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are various fixing methods depending on ground conditions, headstone size, etc. The method which is becoming one of the most popular is the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_anchor" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Earth anchor">ground anchor</a> and is highly recommended by NAMM. This is where a ground anchor/steel bar runs from the foundation of the headstone deep into the ground. With this method, if a joint break the headstone will not fall down immediately it will need repairing but will only fall over if force is used as opposed to falling on its own. You can also bolt the headstone again a reliable method using resin and stainless steel dowels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some headstones are placed on a concrete base and it is usual for the headstone to be re-leveled and your mason should come back and do 2 visits free of charge for re-leveling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cemeteries will now do regular checks on all the headstones in the cemetery and if a headstone needs fixing or replacing it will be down to the owner of the grave to take responsibility. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As long as the correct procedure is followed then the headstone should be securely fixed and not prove to be a hazard.<br />

Did you
know that most digestive disorders are not diseases at all, but conditions
which can be completely cured by using natural techniques and remedies?</div><p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The medical community would have you believe that only prescription drugs can relieve the symptoms of indigestion. This is simply not the case.
Antacids are, at best, a temporary fix and they are loaded with harmful ingredients such as sodium and aluminum. PPI drugs should only be used for eight weeks, at most. Then what are you to do? These drugs only mask and hide the symptoms and have hundreds of harmful side effects. They do not heal the condition! They do not make you well! They only make the drug makers wealthier at your expense!
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
I used to suffer from acute GERD. I was addicted to a PPI drug…..a
“certain colored pill”. After several years of taking this drug, my condition became worse and I was told to double the dose. I began to feel sluggish and tired. My vision suffered and my blood pressure soared. I realized that these were possible side effects of this PPI
drug. I did a computer search and found that there were hundreds of possible side effects. I was shocked and frightened at what I found! I
was harming my body and I wanted to stop taking this drug! But when I
tried to stop the PPI, he acid pumps, which had been shut off, went wild and produced more acid than ever before.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
I can’t tell you how much I suffered. My esophagus was constantly burning and l feared that I would permanently damage myself. I couldn’t sleep at night. I
was afraid to eat or drink anything but water! I was afraid to go out to dinner. I became a recluse. I began to lose my friends. They didn’t understand my problem. Friends would call and say, “Let’s go out for Mexican,
barbeque, or pizza”. Of course, I couldn’t. I loved to eat hot chili sprinkled with raw onions and jack cheese, but it was now my worst nightmare. My life had become unbearable!
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
I was determined to beat this sickness! My doctor couldn’t help me –no one could tell me what to do. I had to heal myself. I became completely dedicated to finding the answers. I studied and researched. I wanted to find naturopathic treatments as opposed to drugs, so I searched high and low for natural remedies that might actually
cure acid reflux. I tried every possible treatment that exists, short of
voodoo.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
I found that the answers to the acid reflux problem are really quite simple. With a few changes in lifestyle and with the help of several natural remedies, one can absolutely beat the acid reflux syndrome, without the use of drugs.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Remember, that the reason this condition exists, in the first place, is due to
a damaged esophagus. Let the esophagus heal by not eating the
same foods in the same way, that caused the damage. Losing weight,
exercising, chewing properly, drinking sufficient amounts of water, and
elevating the head at night, are all simple things that anyone can do to
improve this condition.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
There are also many natural ingredients found in any health store, which can
help during the acid reflux recovery period. Herbs, such as slippery elm
and marshmallow have wonderful healing properties. Aloe vera juice,
licorice and natural honey can soothe the esophagus and assist in the healing
process.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
By eating dinner at least three hours before retiring, one can drastically reduce the chances of acid reflux. Chewing gum between meals actually reduces stomach acid, and if you really have to have that pasta with tomato sauce, there is always baking soda as a last resort.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Eat smaller, more frequent meals. I eat four or five little meals each
day. I start the day with Kukicha Twig tea. I then eat fruit, such
as bananas and melons. I have several snacks of walnuts, almonds and
more fruit. For lunch, I eat a salad, made with grilled chicken breasts,
or tofu, mixed with hearts of romaine, tossed with a light lemon and chive
vinaigrette.
</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cM0IUEBWYwY" width="640" youtube-src-id="cM0IUEBWYwY"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">I have found that it pays to keep the food that you eat as alkaline as
possible. I have developed some wonderful recipes, such as pasta
primavera, baked chicken breasts on mushroom caps and sautéed white fish on
mashed potatoes with green peas. You certainly don’t have to starve
yourself, but I suggest that you stay away from those acid reflux “trigger”
foods, until you have healed your irritated esophagus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
It does take a new approach to life, in general, to heal a stubborn acid
reflux condition. Think of it as a fun challenge. You’ll feel so
much better, it will have been work all the effort.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
So please don’t resort to those “colored pills”. Yes, they are
convenient, but potentially dangerous, in the long run. Take command of
your own health and use natural resources to heal acid reflux.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On December 12th, 1992, my brother committed suicide. The consequences were devastating to everyone involved. Maybe this story will help someone who is contemplating suicide to decide against it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suicide is not the solution that some may think it is. Problems and unresolved issues will haunt family and friends for many decades.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My nephew, who was just a baby at the time, would always ask about his uncle. He eventually learned to point up at the sky and say, "Uncle Scott".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the reality is that he missed out on having the benefit and support of his uncle as he grew up. And of course, there are countless interactions with family members that will be missed over the decades.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suicide is permanent. And the effects that it has on loved ones also lasts over a lifetime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My brother was only 22 years old at the time he chose to commit suicide. I was only 24.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember going to the viewing and seeing his lifeless body. They couldn't quite erase all of the signs of his violent death. And that image will stick with the living for the rest of their lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the end, the temporary pain someone escapes by committing suicide might be overshadowed by the pain and sadness of family and friends. That pain may continue through the decades whenever they think about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The missed opportunities for interaction also impedes the growth of everyone else. Countless interactions that would have occurred are all lost now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who knows how destiny was changed by such an event. The family that he may have had will not exist now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The triumphs and setbacks of a life will never be realized. The fulfillment of a lifetime was cut short by a decision that may have been made rashly at a moment of personal confusion or pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We never know who it is in our destiny to meet and interact with over a lifetime. All of those 'plays' of life will never be able to exist because one of the characters on the stage will not be there to fulfill his role.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the total sum of the tragedy is really unknown but it seems likely that over what would have amounted to decades of time, that sum must be quite high. I guess we won't get the chance to find out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though I am revealing this personal family tragedy to the masses through this article, if it saves a single life, it will be worth it. Drop me a line if you ever want to talk, I would be happy to hear from you.</div>

<div class="zemanta-img" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="zemanta-img-attribution"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A <em>shaman</em> is a particular kind of healer and magical practitioner who is on a path of service in an animist-shamanist culture. To understand what a shaman is, you must remember that while all shamans are healers, only a certain type of healer is a shaman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A shaman is someone who has the ability to journey to the spirit world to find important information (such as where to find food, water, or shelter) and to do spirit work such as retrieving lost souls. To do that, a shaman goes into a deep (theta state) trance and journeys to the spirit world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The person who fills the role of shaman serves an animist community by healing and harmonizing the humans with nature and the spirits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>All Shamans are Healers. Not All Healers Are Shamans</strong> An important task of all shamans is healing. All shamans are healers. but not all healers are shamans.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A culture may have several kinds of healers who work in different ways. To be a <em>shaman,</em> a person must journey to the spirit world to do healing or other work that benefits the community or the spirits connected with the people or place the shaman serves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A shaman may also be an herbalist. But a healer can be an herbalist without being a shaman (without journeying to the spirit world).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indigenous women, who gather plants for their families, learn a lot about the use of plants as food and as medicine. Shamans use such knowledge, but so do <strong>all </strong>women in animist cultures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Where Do Shamans Come From?</strong> The word <em>shaman</em> comes from the language of the <em>Tungus</em> tribe in Siberia. It refers to a person who does shamanic work for the Tungus people. Each Siberian tribe has a different word that means <em>shaman.</em> In fact, in cultures throughout the world, each tribe or nation has its own word(s) for the <em>shaman</em>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shamans are found in many parts of the world, but they are almost always found in animist cultures. That means shamans hardly ever exist except in gathering-hunting, nomadic animal-herding, or horticultural (gathering, hunting, and gardening) communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once a culture turns to agriculture, religion usually changes from animism to something else, such as the worship of goddesses and/or gods. Shamanism gradually disappears, though some cultures retain some elements of shamanic practice longer than others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>When Is "a Shaman" not a Shaman?</strong> What a shaman is called in a given culture depends on the language spoken by the people of that culture. Bear in mind that people often casually and mistakenly describe any indigenous healer as "a shaman." That creates confusion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, the various terms for native healers are sometimes wrongly translated as a <em>shaman</em> by linguists who do not truly understand what the word <em>shaman</em> means.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If someone <strong>calls himself</strong> a shaman, he probably is not one. Indigenous cultures each have their own term for a person who fills the role of shaman, and only one of them, the Tungus tribe of Siberia actually calls that person a <em>shaman.</em> A real shaman serves a particular animist community, and we generally do not have those in European and American culture anymore. So if a modern westerner tells you that he is a shaman, beware. He probably is not one, though he probably does not realize that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With people of indigenous heritage, it is harder to tell. It is important to be very tactful and diplomatic until you find out more about who they are and what their background is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/54XFnnsZ-zg/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/54XFnnsZ-zg?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But be cautious. There are people (indigenous and modern) who are all too willing to take advantage of the modern craze for shamanism.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some are sincere but ignorant. Others are hoping to impress you, get your attention or money, or gain power over others by calling themselves, <em>shamans.</em> Learn as much as you can and use common sense before submitting to treatment by someone calling himself or herself a shaman. If the treatment is very expensive, the odds are that the person is not genuine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if the treatment is quite effective, someone who is out to make a lot of money as a shaman is more of a <em>sorcerer</em> (someone who seeks personal gain rather than seeking to be of service) than a <em>shaman.</em></div>

Psychic debris will accumulate and create blockages in your life force at all levels. This debris begins in the mental and emotional body. If you don't take care of it then, it can cause disease and illness in the physical body. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This debris is a reliving of experiences from your past. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you experience an emotion, you process and gain an understanding of the emotion and release it. With psychic debris, it just hangs on to you because you were either too young or too inexperienced to deal with the emotion at the time it happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You must be careful during attunements to Reiki. The debris you harbor can be released during the attunement, but it can linger and attach itself to someone else in the room. You will learn to protect yourself while giving healing sessions. Otherwise, you will start to feel the same emotions as the person you are trying to treat. You will feel sick in your stomach, spinning, and dizziness. As soon as you take the time to clear and balance yourself, you will be back to normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you release the debris in your mental and emotional body, you will begin to think clearer and gain a deeper understanding of feelings and thoughts. You also are opened up to positive changes in your life. As the blockages are taken away, you will obtain a higher awareness level. <br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your Reiki force will return to its normal flow once more. This is an ongoing process and you must keep up with balancing and clearing yourself daily. If you don't balance and clear yourself daily from the emotions you are obtaining from other people, they can cause a negative impact on your own system. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This can be mental, emotional, or physical. Even walking into a crowded elevator, you can sense fear, stress, anger, and happiness. Make sure you learn to protect yourself against psychic debris.</div>

<i>Cells of the innate immune system include mast cells and natural killer cells, the phagocytes (monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells), and the granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils). Each cell type is equipped with different mechanisms that allow it to attack and eliminate pathogens from the body. The innate immune cells demonstrate the immune system’s versatility. </i></div>

<div class="zemanta-img" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="zemanta-img-attribution"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s that time of year again where virus’ and bacteria’s run a-muck and play havoc on our bodies. The best time to start is now to prepare for the cold and flu season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no magic bullet in creating a healthy immune system. The best place to start is eliminating junk foods and beverages from the diet. Adequate rest and moderate exercise are also important.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are certain supplements that are known for preventing sickness or taken during sickness to speed up recovery. Some of these are echinacea, goldenseal, elderberry, ginseng, astragalus, mullein leaves, yerba santa leaves, parthenium root, capsicum fruit, yarrow, pau d’arco bark, and colloidal or ionized silver.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are much immune building multiple’s that contain many of the supplements mentioned above. The trick is to start taking 2 a day in September and continue till spring. Those with severely compromised <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Immune system">immune systems</a> may need more. There are homeopathic that are popular this time of year such as, Oscillococcinum. It is nature's # 1 flu medicine. Silver water is a natural antibiotic. Wild Mediterranean oregano oil is famous for knocking out viruses, bacteria, and fungus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
60% of our immune system is in our “gut”, therefore it is important to maintain an adequate amount of “friendly bacteria”. Most people supplement with acidophilus and bifidophilus to achieve this, for the typical American diet, antibiotics, and other prescription medications destroy these good bacteria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Essential oils can also be used to enhance immunity. A disinfecting room mist can be made by taking a glass 4 oz. glass bottle with a sprayer and adding a total of 90 drops of each; rosemary, tea tree and peppermint essential oils and fill the rest with spring or distilled water. Shake 100 times and let it sit for 24 hrs before use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It does take a substantial effort to build immunity and achieve optimum health but….you and your family are worth it!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In closing, I would suggest to anyone that you take your time, do your research, analyze your health status or needs, and then find the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_product" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Natural product">natural products</a> to meet your needs. It something you can do for yourself, which leaves you with a very good understanding of your health care needs. Many people go through life relying solely on other people when it comes to their nutrition or health care needs. There are many good articles on the web, which can be very helpful and informative to you.</div>

<b>ARMANEN RUNES</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rune symbols are very powerful. You can use them to enhance your life for the better. They are keys to the Creative Energies of the Universe. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_von_List" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Guido von List">Guido Von List</a>, the great <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_mysticism" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="German mysticism">German mystic</a> and runemaster, gave us a new modern-day insight into the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Runes">runes</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He had a very similar experience as Odin, the All-Father of the Norse Gods' head. Odin hung upside down on the Yggdrasil Tree for nine days and nine nights till he finally reached down and grasped the runes. From where?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guido Von List has cataract surgery and as he lies in bed in a German hospital he had a similar experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his semi-blind state, he also reached down and brought forth the 18 runes of the Armanen Futhork. Where did he and Odin reach down to get the runes?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Now that we are in the Age of Aquarius we have the answer. We now have the Laws of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Quantum mechanics">Quantum Physics</a>. These laws simply state that there exists an infinite, intelligent ocean of thinking energy called the Quantum Ocean. Everything that ever was, is, or will exist there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no time there. No past, present, or future. Only the "NOW!" There is no space there. Only the "HERE!" We live and move and have our being inside the "HERE-NOW!"</div>

The runes exist in the Quantum Ocean now and have always existed there. They are the keys to the other energies within the Quantum Ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Quantum Ocean, in reality, is the Mind Of God. We can commune directly with the Mind of God with our thoughts. Thoughts are things. Thoughts are keys to the Universal Energies within the Quantum Ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can also communicate with the Mind of God, the Quantum Ocean through symbols. The rune symbols are the most powerful keys known to mankind. We can use them to attract health, wealth, and love into our own life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many ways we can use the runes to attract the energies we want out of the Minds of God, the Quantum Ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can simply look at a rune symbol and make the mental radionics connection. We can meditate on them. We can breathe them into our aura. We can attach them to a radionics device. You can place them under an orgone generator. Or we can simply carry them with us of wearing them on our bodies.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember to print out the large FA Rune on the page.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Armanen Runes are keys to the Creative Energies of the Universe. Runes are symbols and therefore the most powerful tools available for you to use. There are three keys to the successful use of Armanen Runes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(1) Use only one rune at a time for your mediation, exercise, or rituals. Runes are like electronic Carrier waves. They carry more than one energy at a time within their symbolic matrix. For best results single out just ONE of the energies you wish to attract from the quantum ocean and into your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(2) You must learn how to get the energies of the runes out of the quantum ocean and into your aura. What energies you carry in your aura attracts their physical counterpart into your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(3) PATIENCE. The energies contained within the runic energy matrix will instantly appear at the periphery of your aura. There is no nor space in the quantum ocean, only the "here-now." So when you contact the runic energies in the quantum ocean they automatically appear near you. What stops them from automatically entering your aura are the false negative energy matrices you have built up. Your fear of success, love, or wrong health ideas is in your aura. You have unconsciously placed them there. They are like a solid brick wall stopping the runic energies from entering you. This is the most important fact that others don't tell you. You are stopping your own health, wealth, and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BUT, runic energies are very powerful and they will slowly and steadily breakthrough and dissolve the negative blockages from your aura. This is guaranteed. It is part of the Laws of Quantum Physics. All you need to do is be PATIENT and don't doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Laws of Quantum Physics tell us that everything that is, was, or ever will exist in an infinite ocean of intelligent energy called the Quantum Ocean. The runes exist there and have always existed there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guido Von List manifested the 18 rune Armanen Futhork out of the Quantum Ocean in the 20Th century. They are fresh and powerful and have not been polluted like the 24 rune futhork that has been popularized by so many want to be runemasters and magicians. Blume really put the final nail in the coffin of the 24 rune futhark with his BLANK RUNE. There is no such runic energy matrix in the quantum ocean that stands for NOTHING!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To get more information about the Armanen Runes surf the net and read about these three Armanen Rune Masters. Siegfried Adolf Kumer, Rudolf John Gorseleben and Guido Von List. Don't forget the most modern rune master, Karl Hans Welz.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You must learn to get the Rune FA into your aura to attract the money you desire. We are energy beings and what energies we carry in our auras attracts their physical counterparts into our life. Money energy in your aura = money in your pockets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Learn to breathe in the runic energies. Take the rune symbol at the bottom of this page and hold it in front of you. Get quiet and take a deep breath while looking at the rune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mentally intone" "I am now breathing in the money attracting the energy of Rune FA out of the quantum ocean and into my aura." Do this three times. Then go about your business and give the runic energy time to work on your aura.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SHMFW5F7CPo/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SHMFW5F7CPo?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How long? One day? One week? One year? How many blockages do you have? Have thick is your wall? PATIENCE. Repeat this every day and reinforce it constantly without a doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By looking at the FA rune and consciously breathing it in you are actually touching the rune FA money energy in the quantum ocean. You are thinking about it. What you think about you attract.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The money energy of the FA rune will be there at the edge of your aura awaiting entrance. It will work its way in. The money will be attracted to you. REPETITION AND PATIENCE!</div>

Amazingly, studies recently showed that those who are actively sexual could reduce stress. This does not mean running out and have sex with multiple partners, rather engage in intimate relationships with someone you trust. In recent studies, couples were asked to define how sex relieved stress. According to results, the couples claimed that sex relaxed the mind and body. The couples felt less stress after and during math tests and public speeches they were able to relax and stay alert. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the studies outlined by news, reports intercourse relaxed the body and mind. The studies showed that masturbation relieved stress to a degree more so than those who did not engage in such actions did. Still, those who had intercourse relieving stress more so than those who masturbated did. According to the studies, blood pressure quickly returned to its normal level after intercourse. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The studies showed that the men and women who did not have sex had higher blood pressure than those who did. Sex has proven to relieve stress. It makes sense. Men and women were intended to express intimacy in a life long relationship. For this reason, sex is involved which should be enjoyed at both party's convenience. Of course, both couples must enjoy the activity to relieve stress. Some people do not enjoy sex, which causes them stress to think of engaging in intimacy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After sex, a person often feels relaxed. During the night, the person finds it easier to sleep. Morning sex is enjoyable, yet it can drain the energy, thus strenuous sex in the wake hours should be avoided. Enjoy mild, soft, and passionate sexual relations at this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sex is relaxing. If you enjoy sex experts, tell us that engaging in this activity twice daily is great exercise and helps to relax the mind and body. If this is true then we have guided relaxation through intimacy. So why are people still searching for answers to relieve stress? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the periodical that exposed that sex relieves stress, the authors mentioned that oxytocin when released could promote healthy functions, such as that of the physiology aspects. Oxytocin assists organisms. It is clear that when a person releases through organisms that tension expels from the body. The person feels a sense of relief. Still, what about the psychological aspects, i.e. what happens to the mind if a person engages in illicit sexual release. It is evident by past records that illicit sexual encounters only lead to disaster. We see this in disease, divorce, and so on. Thus, we see that engaging in sex requires that we uphold morals, standards, and values that make us humans. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xBH-CzjXPfc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xBH-CzjXPfc?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To uphold the rules of humanity we see that stress can be relieved through intimacy. Intimacy is between a man and a woman. At what time the two join in intimacy they express love, affection, and desire for the other. If you noted love, affection, and desire you would see the positive influences that lead them to guided relaxation. When sex is relentless, or when love, affections, and intimacy is not involved, how can it relieve stress? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Logically you would see the tension build when emotions start to recall emptiness inside. For this reason, we must consider the aspects of sex that makes us feel relaxed. Those aspects again are love, affection, and a desire to love one another. When you have positive influences during sex, you have a guarantee that stress will relax. To learn more about sex and guided relaxation, women we encourage you to learn how sex can help you live longer. </div>

In a stressed out world like what we have today, more and more people are opting for other treatments other than using <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_drug" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Pharmaceutical drug">medications</a> to help them achieve a more stable level of thinking and emotions. This is because they have noticed that the more they depend on medication and treatments related to it, the more they feel weak, stressed out, and sick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, instead of suffering from the side effects of various medications, many people opt for a more traditional treatment such as Reiki healing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Founded on the significant benefits of the human touch, Reiki healing is preferred by more and more people especially those who are suffering from terminal cases and illnesses-because it provides a more "human" approach to healing. Since it is more soothing and comforting that the number of apparatus that are used in various hospitals and medical centers, Reiki healing has become an option to people who are tired of relying on medical treatments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What sets this <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Alternative medicine">alternative therapy</a> from the modern form of healing today is the more "human" feel into it. Many people prefer this because it lessens the depression they feel brought the illness or emotional pains knowing that a person/people understand what are they going through.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How Reiki healing works</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reiki healing works through the use of the never-ending cycle of love energy in people. Reiki healing utilizes the innate life force energy flowing in each individual and converts it into a more productive energy force.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Transferred from one person to another, this life energy force can heal a person's emotional imbalance, heals the dying spirit, and calms the mind. If it cannot be channeled from one person to another during a Reiki class, an individual can also use it alone especially if there's a great need to boost a person's morale or spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9orO50T2n4M/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9orO50T2n4M?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reiki healing can be a perfect key in solving people's personal predicaments if only they give it a try. Unlike modern medications that can cost so much money along with numerous side effects, Reiki healing would not rob you off so much money especially if you have mastered it for yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only expenses you'll be needing to achieve the benefits of <a amzn-ps-bm-asin="1101983264" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="cc1001087dce0f615f22ecf460ffcb22" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="Reiki" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1101983264/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=dogandcatatho-20&linkId=cc1001087dce0f615f22ecf460ffcb22&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_5679981" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Reiki</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_5679981" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=dogandcatatho-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=cc1001087dce0f615f22ecf460ffcb22&_cb=1598175848283" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /> healing is the fee for enrolment in a Reiki class and references such as magazines and books for practicing Reiki.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Reiki healing to work properly and effectively, a person must first be able to achieve a higher will. When a person has a high will, it can enable somebody to set aside his or her self-centered intentions. Once this is done, a person can experience a blissful encounter with his or herself and can share this wonderful feeling of healing and contentment with other people.</div>

Once a person can do this, he or she will be accredited to a higher level, which can enable him or her to achieve peacefulness, calmness, and optimism in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Reiki healing, the life force energy is channeled or transferred from one person to another through attunement. Usually takes place in Reiki classes and supervised by a Reiki master, this transfer of life force energy is remotely done to ensure its success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from healing a person's spirit, Reiki also helps a person to balance his or her priorities in life to achieve a more relaxed and content life.

As with any other craft, origami has its own terms and techniques. Here are some basic horizontal and vertical folds. It is very important to keep all your folds crisp and clean. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Book - fold a piece of paper (rectangular or square) down the middle vertically making certain the opposite edges line up one on top of the other. For many origami figures, you will need to add another book figure - open the paper and make another fold across the middle horizontally again, making sure the edges lie one on top of the other. If you don't open the book before making the second fold you end up with the handkerchief fold which gives you a small square with four layers of paper one on top of the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Cupboard - using a square piece of paper make the book fold then open the paper and take each outside edge and fold it to the centerline. By bringing each edge over to the next line you will end up making even more equal vertical stripes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fan - with either a square or rectangular piece of paper fold a Cupboard. Open the Cupboard; three valley folds (downward angles) divide the Cupboard into four equal-sized strips. Turn the figure over; fold the edges onto the outer lines making two mountain folds. Turn the figure over and refold the Cupboard. Turn the Cupboard over once again and fold the edges into the middle line resulting in two mountain folds (upward angles). Fold up the figure and you have made an eightfold fan with alternating mountain and valley folds, also called an accordion fold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Lattice - make a Cupboard from a square piece of paper. Open the Cupboard and repeat the procedure folding in a horizontal direction. Open the paper and you have the Lattice. It is 16 equal-sized squares used to make boxes, houses, and simple animal bodies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Shawl - Make a diagonal fold down the middle of a square piece of paper making sure your edges and corners lay on top of each other. If you need a second diagonal fold open the sheet of paper completely before starting the second fold to get a more exact line.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Envelope - using a square piece of paper make diagonal folds down the center in both directions. Open the paper and bring each corner up to the middle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ROIc0nxxXhI/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ROIc0nxxXhI?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Picture Frame - First make the Envelope. Open the envelope; turn each corner up to the outer diagonal line. Now fold the four corners inward and you have a picture frame. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heaven and Hell - Fold an Envelope. Turn the Envelope over and fold each corner up into the center again. Turn the figure over and you will see pockets on the other side. Open these pockets. This figure was dubbed Heaven and Hell because it was usually made on red and blue paper. This particular fold can be used for making simple hand puppets and animal heads</div>

<br />
<div class="zemanta-img" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="zemanta-img-attribution"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the ancient origins of karate are somewhat unclear to us, The one thing I can tell you is that about 1400 years ago, while teaching at the Shaolin Temple in China, Daruma Daishi used techniques that were similar to karate. Later these techniques developed into forms of karate known as Shaolin Boxing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You need a clear mind to use Karate and meditating is the best way to clear your mind when you are in a sport such as a karate. In 1955 one of Master Funakoshi's last direct pupils cam to the United States and was the first person to teach karate in this country. That same year he put together the Southern California Karate Association, which has grown over several years to now become a national non-profit organization. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I meditated I continued to learn more about karate. I learned in 1961, which happens to be my year of birth, Mr Caylor Adkins, One of Mr Ohshima's first black belts, began attending CSULB and soon formed the school's first karate club. In 1968 after being gone for a while he returned to CSULB along with a gentleman named Mr Don Depree. Mr Depree carried on the tradition and led the growing club until the year 1992, when he entrusted the leadership of the club to Mr Samir Abboud.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still keeping my mind clear by meditating I learned that Mr Samir Abboud was a continuing student of Don Depree since the year of 1969. Samir was the CSUBL captain of the karate club and assistant instructor to Mr Don Depree for many years. Through meditation children and adults learn breathing techniques that help them concentrate on karate. When first starting karate you will want to start with the beginner's belt. The purpose of this level is orientation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PIVYGdPw6hE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PIVYGdPw6hE?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Students will be taught the general structure of the class, basic commands, the importance of self-defence and some basic combinations of self-defence moves. By concentration with meditation, the student will learn to be familiar with and to perform any of the moves on the curriculum sheet. The students also should be able to stand in a Chunbi position for 1minute without moving. Minimal proficiency will be required.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The practising time 5-10 minutes 3-4 times a week will be plenty for the beginners level. It will usually take 4-6 weeks to start your next belt. So whether you are a child or an adult learning karate for whatever reason, remember the key to karate is first using your breathing techniques and your meditation will help you to practice your breathing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meditation books are also very helpful if you are interested in learning more about meditation just go to your local library and check some of them out. Take time out to study meditation and you could be feeling much better real soon, which is something that most of us all want for ourselves. Good luck and remember that keeping a positive attitude can really make a difference in your stress levels. Please take time out for yourself for meditation. </div>

Aikido is a unique form of martial art. Its emphasis lies on the harmonious fusion of mind and body with the natural laws of Nature. Aikido focuses on accepting and respecting the energy of life and nature and channeling this harmony onto techniques that expresses this energy in physical forms. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aikido is often viewed as more of a defensive martial art since its techniques and teachings are designed for you to avoid or get out of trouble. On the contrary, Aikido's techniques are very powerful and effective.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically, there are four levels of technique in Aikido training. These are the katai which refers to the basic training and is intended to build the foundation of body movements and breathing; the yawarakai trains the defendant to deflect attacks and fuse movements to take control of the attacker or situation; the ki-no-nagare which involves training the defendant to defend or counter attack by merging his movement with the attacker even before the latter makes contact; and the ki which is the absolute Aikido technique and involves establishing a link of ki or spirit from the defender to the attacker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When training for Aikido, you need a sparring partner. The uke and the nage. The Uke is the initiator of the attack and receives the Aikido techniques, while the Nage is the defender and the one that neutralizes the attack. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aikido basic techniques include ikky which involves control an attacker by placing one hand on the elbow and one on near the wrist giving an opportunity to throw the attacker to the ground; the niky which draws in the uke using a wristlock and twists the arm while applying painful nerve pressure; sanky which is a rotating technique aimed at applying a spiralling tension on the whole arm including the elbow and shoulder; yonky a shoulder control technique with both hands gripping the forearm; goky is another variant of ikky</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ugsS2_Z0wpA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ugsS2_Z0wpA?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
wherein the hand gripping the wrist is inverted and is quite useful in weapon take-aways; shihnage or the four-direction throw; kotegaeshi or wrist return which involves a wristlock-throw that stretches the extensor digitorum; kokynage also known as breath throws or timing throws; iriminage or entering-body throws which resembles a "clothesline" technique; tenchinage or heaven-and-earth throw; koshinage or the Aikido's version of the hip throw; jinage or the shaped-like-'ten'-throw; and kaitennage or rotation throw wherein the nage sweeps the arm of the uke back until it locks the shoulder joint after which the nage applies forward pressure to throw the attacker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are just basic techniques and from the list, thousands of possible implementations or combinations can be drawn by the aikidokas. In Aikido, the strikes employed during the implementation of the Aikido technique are called atemi. For beginners, grabs are the first ones to be taught. It is safer and the aikidoka can easily feel the energy flowing from the uke to the nage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Among the basic grab techniques are the katate-dori or single-hand-grab which involves using one hand to grab one wrist; morote-dori or both-hands-grab which uses both hands to grab one wrist; ryte-dori another both-hands-grab technique wherein both hands are used to grab both wrists; kata-dori or the shoulder-grab technique; and the mune-dori or chest-grab which involves grabbing the clothing of the chest of the attacker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mastering each technique involves discipline and dedication. To be a good aikodoka, one must master both the techniques and principle of martial art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The marvels of Chinese herbs have continued to charm and help people all
over the world for a very long time. Almost all medicines have been created by
mixing them in different quantities and proportions. The Chinese herb logy is a
vast field that consists of numerous types of herbs possessing a wide range of
properties and specialties.</div>

special characteristics. The basic tastes are sweet, bitter, salty, pungent, bland,
astringent, and aromatic. Some are known to poses herbs are mixed together on
the basis of their tastes and temperatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />

they are useful in creating a medicine that is useful for fluids. The yin
property allows the energy of the body to be restored and also cure stomach and
urine problems. The sweet herbs are sticky so they help in clogging the
misplaced elements of the body. The bitter taste herb possesses the quality of
dryness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

to cure the problem. The pungent herbs assist in the movement functions of the
body. When this herb is mixed with a cold herb it is useful in solving joint
problems and regulating the other movements of the body. The salty herb poses

Feng Shui is the art of placing and situating a structure so it is in harmony with nature. Also known as “Kanyu”, cultural and social issues are influenced by cosmological, metaphysical, and natural factors.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To use this ancient technique, you have to understand the influence of cosmology on earth. You should also have knowledge of how astronomy and astrology influence the placement of buildings. You also need to understand Confucian classic, the weathering process, the forces of nature, the magnetic fields, and how these all influence us. If you think about it, that is a lot to study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The history of Feng Shui originated in the West Han dynasty around the third century BC. Those who practice it believe that the earth is alive with energy. If people built a structure on land that has revitalizing energy, then they would prosper. If this is placed in a site with bad energy, misfortune will occur.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Originally, Feng Shui was used to help place tombs for those who have died rather than for building homes for the living. Back then, they believed that choosing a good burial site will bring peace and prosperity to those who remained here on earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The instrument used to select the correct burial site was known as the “Lo Pan.” This invention was traced back to the Yellow Emperor where it is said that the “Lady of the Nine Heavens” gave him this knowledge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This ancient compass was called the Hin Shi and is described as a square base called a diviner’s board, holding a bowl of water that floated a magnetic south-pointing spoon. The Hin Shi then developed into the “Lo Pan” and during the Sang Dynasty, this was used to navigate at sea. When this was brought to Europe somewhere during the 13th Century, this was better known as the compass which helped navigators explore the rest of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But going back to Feng Shui, if the “Lo Pan” can be used to pick good burial sites, couldn’t it do the same for erecting buildings where people could live? The answer is yes and so this device was now used to analyze the orientations in a relationship to the main door, the bed and the stove. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since then, both the rich and the poor incorporate this in their architecture. Archeological studies have shown that ancient Chinese city planners were made in concentric rectangles surrounded by walls that were then surrounded by lakes, hills, valleys, gardens, courtyards and parks which were to enhance positive energy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for buildings, these were constructed to enhance a healthy relationship between family members and the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is where Yin and Yang come in which is considered to be the foundation of the universe. Coming from Taoism, these two are complete opposites that cannot exist without the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For them, the left side of the building must represent Yang or the male force while Yin or the female force is on the right.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Examples of Yang in the past included sunlit roofs, built areas and an elevation in the front. For Yin, there must be empty areas, shadowed eaves, set back structures and elevations in the back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The history of Feng Shui was almost forgotten when the communists took over in 1949. If it wasn’t for the masters who practiced it and shipped it out to Hong Kong or China, we would have never known it existed. Feng Shui made its way to the US only in the 1970s. Various articles and shows have focused on it and people now use it to help in building a house or a building.</div>

Chunk candles add a great alternative to the standard <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candle" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Candle">pillar candle</a> of yesterday. These colorful candles add a vibrancy and life to them. Looking at chunk candles, they appear to be very difficult to make. However, just the opposite is true. In fact, many candle makers claim they are easier to make than basic pillar candles. This is because pillar candles have to be perfectly smooth. If they aren’t, it is easy to see the visual defect. Such blemishes aren’t visible in chunk candles. While chunk candles aren’t recommended as a beginner project, they can be made once you know the basics of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_candle_making" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="History of candle making">candle making</a> process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two phases to making chunk candles. To make the process easier, it is recommended that you keep the two separate. Attempts to cut corners often result in chunk candles that are of poor quality and don’t burn well. The first phase of the project is making the chunks. The second is the process of turning those chunks into gorgeous candles. Some individuals choose to purchase pre-cut chunks at craft stores or online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make your candles their prettiest, select colors that compliment each other. To start making the color chunks, spray a cookie sheet with a non-stick cooking spray. You only want a thin film on the cooking sheet. After the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Wax">wax</a> you are using has completely melted, add color to it as well as any fragrance you want. Pour the mix onto the cookies sheet. Fill the sheet to the level you want the depth of your candle chunks to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep an eye on the cooling color chunks. Once it is the consistency of cookie dough you will want to use a sharp utility knife to cut it into chunks. Allow the chunks to continue cooling. If you are making several colors of chunks you can mix them together or leave them separate. Some people choose to let the colors mix together on their own while others like to create a design by adding the amount of each color they want.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using the same molds that are used for pillar candles, insert your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candle_wick" rel="wikipedia nofollow" target="_blank" title="Candle wick">candle wick</a> through the bottom of the candle mold. Fill the mold loosely with color chunks. You can put one color on the bottom with another color on top or even layers of three colors. You can also use only one color. The choice is all yours. Do not stack as many chunks as you can in the mold or the candle won’t form properly. Just toss them in and let them lay where they end up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You are now ready to pour the melted wax over the color chunks. It is recommended that you do leave the melted wax colorless, but some people choose to add a light color to tint it and add a uniqueness to their chunk candles. As the candle cools, the chunks will adhere to together with the hot wax. Once the molds cool the chunk candles should slide out with ease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Making chunk candles is really quite simple if you have the basic candle making concepts under your belt. These candles add flair to any décor as well as make great gifts. They are a bit more time consuming to make since you will be making your color chunks, but well worth the results. Remember that you can purchase color chunks to save you time. That is a great option for someone who plans to make large quantities of chunk candles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6tCwRZqO2Vk/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6tCwRZqO2Vk?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those who want to get even more creative, consider using embeds on the sides. You can place them in the candle molds first. They will stay in place once you put the chunks in the mold. You can adjust the embeds as needed prior to adding the hot wax to the mold. There are excellent books available on the various patterns and embeds you can add to make specific chunk candles. There are also great pictures and step by step instructions available on the internet.</div>

Hypnosis has been around for thousands of years. From ancient Egyptian times even through today, hypnotism has been used in religion, medicine, mental therapy, and even entertainment. Patients often undergo hypnosis to help release stress or to overcome certain challenges in their lives such as smoking habits, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, insomnia, depression, and other conditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hypnotherapy is similar to psychotherapy except it is undertaken when the patient is in a state of hypnosis. Hypnotherapy is meant to help modify the patient's behavior, attitude, and emotional state for positive life changes. Hypnotherapy is usually performed by a professional hypnotherapist. In many cases, the hypnotherapist will train the patient in self-hypnosis so the patient can benefit from hypnotherapy at any time when needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What Happens During Hypnosis?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before the actual hypnosis begins, both the patient and the trained hypnotherapist agree to the process. Hypnosis cannot be forced on the patient. There will usually be an informal talk between the two with questions and answers as well as an explanation of what is about to take place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next is the actual hypnosis. The hypnotherapist leads with his or her voice to gently guide the patient into a state of relaxation in mind and body. The patient may appear to be asleep, but is awake enough to be aware of what's going on - especially in the parts of the mind that can effect beneficial changes. The patient is led into comforting, pleasant thoughts and begins to daydream about happy times or hopes for the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When under hypnosis, the patient often feels very relaxed. It's similar to the warm comfort of a bed when one is very sleepy. The patient can terminate the session at any time if he or she begins to feel uncomfortable. When the session ends, the patient is able to ask questions and discuss the experience of hypnosis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Hypnosis Today</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, there are many different ways people can enjoy the benefits of hypnotherapy. They don't even have to leave their homes to take advantage of hypnosis. There are Internet sites that offer guides and tips on hypnosis, along with hypnosis training for those who want to become a trained hypnotist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For self-hypnosis, there are great products available online, such as hypnosis MP3s and hypnosis CDs. With these tools, a person is able to enjoy the long-term benefits of hypnosis without paying high costs to visit a trained hypnotherapist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These products are very helpful when times of stress arise or when you just needs a boost of self-confidence. They are fast, easy, safe and effective tools to help you tackle common life situations. On hypnosis MP3s and hypnosis CDs, the messages are positive and subliminal, offering exact trance-inducing frequencies. The hypnosis MP3 files are downloadable onto an iPod or MP3 player so you can take it with you wherever they go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are not cure-all solutions, but they can be helpful in renewing your positive outlook on life and learning to overcome obstacles.</div>

<div class="zemanta-img">
<span class="zemanta-img-attribution"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We come across many references in the Indian ancient literature regarding the relationship between astrology and the probable timing of ailments. Prescriptions for treatment of disease were also done with the combined help of astrology and Ayurveda. Many classics proclaim that the expert medicine-men of the past were also expert astrologers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that time, the only system of medicine known to man was Ayurveda. There were some other systems akin to Ayurveda outside India also. All systems depended on plant and animal species, stones, and other materials for the preparation of medicine. The Allopathic and the homeopathic systems developed after a long time and both were aided by laboratory tests and research. The same degree of accuracy cannot be claimed for the diagnosis of a disease on the basis of the horoscope of an individual. However, a relationship exists between the timing of disease and planetary influences that a competent astrologer can find out from a duly-cast horoscope.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The practitioners of Ayurveda in the past took help from astrology in these matters. Vedic astrology is unique as it advocates remedial measures in the form of propitiation of planets also in the event of the occurrence of a disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many such matters have been discussed in detail by Dr. K.S. Charak in his book "Essentials of Medical Astrology". Dr. Charak is a practicing surgeon with an F.R.C.S degree from the U.K. He claims in his book that the knowledge of astrology becomes very useful for diagnosing and treating ailments and for finding out the probable timing of the occurrence of a disease.<br />

<h4>
<b>Vedic astrology can help in the following manners.</b></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Probable timing of the disease:</b> An astrologer can time the onset of disease even before the occurrence of the disease by seeing the planetary combinations in the horoscope and by using the "dasa" system and the transit. This is the area of strength for an astrologer which a doctor may not be able to do. An astrologer can also predict the type of disease and the organs likely to be affected by the disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Diagnosis of disease:</b> Astrological classics do point towards combinations that can cause specific illnesses as per the horoscope, but, this can be better done by a doctor. An astrologer can provide valuable inputs at times. However, the area of diagnosis is the strength of the medical practitioner. In this field, they seem to score over an astrologer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<b>The severity of disease: </b>This area can be handled by both astrologers as well as doctors. Astrologers can understand the severity of the disease by judging the degree of the affliction of planets causing the ailments and by cross-checking the result with the ongoing "dasa" and prevalent transits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Treatment:</b> The medical remedies of today are far more superior and reliable compared to astrological remedies. However, astrology can help as a preventive tool. It makes an individual aware of the problems in advance so that he can take preventive steps. He can take steps for diluting the impact of the disease by resorting to methods prescribed by astrological classics. Such methods are sometimes very useful. Surgical operations are also not 100% successful and views of competent astrologers can be taken in such matters. Medical practitioners can be consulted after the onset of</div>

the problem.</div>

When you think "witch", what comes to mind? A wart faced old woman in a black dress with a broom? Actually, all it took was a birthmark or freckle, or singing and dancing outside, or simply someone's accusation that could have you executed as a witch.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although there have been stories of witchcraft since the beginning of time, persecutions didn't begin until the 1500s. The Witchcraft Act of 1563 made it illegal for anyone to be or consort with a witch. The first major persecution, the North Berwick Trials, began in 1590 with King James I and VI. Returning from Denmark with his new bride, a powerful tempest almost killed them. The King believed witchcraft was the cause of the storm and had nearly 100 people arrested. Many were tortured and burnt alive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Forfar Witch Hunt of 1661 and the Auldearn Trials of 1662 were prolonged by accusations made by "witches" in order to save themselves. At the Aberdeen Trials, 7 women were accused of using magic to murder others and using body parts from the victims to create potions. The Pittenween Trials of 1704 were based on the word of a 16-year-old boy. Each of the accused was tortured. One was even crushed to death under large stones. It was later discovered that the boy had made it all up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Renfrewshire Trials of 1695 began when 11-year-old Christian Shaw caught a housemaid drinking forbidden milk and threatened to tell her mother. The housemaid told the girl that the devil would take her to hell. Christian began having fits and visions, claiming that the maid was torturing her. She vomited up feathers, hay, wax, stones, even hot coal. There were accounts of her floating around the room and moving things without touching them. She also accused several others of witchcraft. Over 20 men, women, and children were imprisoned and examined by "witch prickers".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several children and one minister were found dead on the morning of the trials. Fourteen of the charges were found not guilty. The remainder were hanged and burned. Christian was cured after the executions.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Witchcraft Act was abandoned in 1736. It is estimated that over 4000 people were executed as witches in Scotland alone. Only 4 "witches" are recorded as being executed in Ireland, and only 3 in Wales. So for those of you with freckles or birthmarks (like myself), be thankful that things have changed!!</div>
