Discover Your Essence
"Know thyself" -Socrates
I'm sitting in a crowded café. Straight ahead is a young couple, the woman staring intently at a computer screen, the man writing feverishly in a notebook. They work steadily, not looking up or speaking with each other. Ahead and to the right sits another couple. The young man sips from a large cup. He stares blankly ahead and then looks around aimlessly. The young woman concentrates on some of the artwork on the wall, turning occasionally to comment on the pieces. The young man breaks his reverie to nod agreement with her opinion. The counter is populated on the customer's side by a young woman, digging busily in her purse for money, and on the servers' side by a still younger woman with dreadlocks and a simple cloth skirt over a pair of jeans.
Everyone I see is busy. Whatever they're doing seems so important to them. They're very serious. They don't smile,and stay open to what these feelings are telling you about others and events.. They seldom interact. If I were a visitor from another planet, I'd say that these Earthlings are a very troubled, very preoccupied species. Actually, they all look hypnotized, dazed, entranced.
I watch the flow of life going on around me,Ironically,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots. I'm at peace. I'm content. Are there things I could be doing? Yes. Are there things I could be planning, reviewing, or worrying about? Sure. I'm human. I've got a life. But, for right now, I'm choosing to be in the moment. For me, there is no past, no future. Just now.
From this perspective, many things become clear: one is just how not present most people are. Another is how unnecessary it is to live anywhere but in the present moment. Our preoccupation with our difficulties is routed in the mistaken idea that something is terribly wrong and must be fixed. The first words to ponder in the workbook for The Course in Miracles by Russ Wise are these:
Nothing matters
That's it. Just those two simple words with the infinite power to change our entire lives.
Now, I can hear many of you reacting in defiance against this principle. And that's OK. You'd get lots of agreement from society at large for the insistence that some things do matter. What about war, disease, injustice? Don't these things matter?
Yes and no. From a human perspective, of course they do. We try our best to live within certain parameters and help when we can. But from a spiritual perspective, it's all neutral. Nothing has the inherent quality of goodness or badness,We Are All Vibrations.. It just is what it is. We humans attribute those qualities to the people and things around us. Devoid of judgment, the world actually becomes a friendlier place.
How would you treat others if you were God, or Jesus, or the Buddha? Would you accept some people or situations and reject others? No. You would love and cherish all beings and circumstances. You would treat everyone, regardless of his actions, with respect. You'd see those who acted inappropriately not as unacceptable, repulsive beings, but as confused children who had lost their way. How would you treat yourself? As a broken, hopeless mass of neuroses, or as a cherished, wonderful, and innocent individual, perfect exactly as you are?
We simply don't have the right to sit in judgment of ourselves or others. We have neither the experience nor the perspective to see the whole picture, and our judgments are necessarily skewed by the culture in which we were raised and the beliefs we've unwittingly imbibed.
That is why the great spiritual leaders of every age have advocated detachment. Detachment is the ability to step back from our mental constructs and look at the world from a neutral perspective. It's what Barry Weiss, a meditation teacher of thirty years, calls "being backstage." In other words, we recognize that all our thoughts, plans, beliefs, judgments, prejudices, problems, and solutions take place on the stage of life. But here's the good news. We're not who we think we are! We're not the ongoing monologue between our ears. We are, in fact, nothing more nor less than pure consciousness. We are backstage while the play of our life takes place before our eyes.
What is essence? Christians call it soul. Quakers call it that still small voice. Hindus call it the Atman. Buddhists call it consciousness. It is the fundamental you below your learned behaviors, thoughts and preferences. Look at the things that bring you joy: a beautiful sunset, an inspiring piece of music, a laughing child. Nobody taught you to love those things, because the appreciation you feel is inborn. It's part of your essence. At the deepest level, you are pure essence, and none of the things you use to identify yourself are truly you.
You can't think your way to that realization because anything you can think is happening in your mind, which is a limited form of consciousness. You need to reach this place in a distinctly different way. It requires courage and discipline to extricate yourself from the mistaken belief that you are your mind and, by extension, that every thought you have is vitally important. It is, however, vital if you're to break free of your limitations and experience what the Buddha called "liberation," what Jesus called "salvation," and what has been termed by spiritual leaders throughout the eons as "self-knowledge."
Eckart Tolle, the brilliant author of The Power of Now, begins his book with a fable. He tells the story of a beggar, sitting on a box, asking passersby to give him some money for food. One day, a man comes along and says, "I have nothing to give you, but what's in that box you're sitting on?" The beggar says, "This old box? Nothing. It's just a box I sit on." "Have you ever looked inside?" asks the man. "No, I haven't." "Take a look!" The beggar pries the lid off the box and to his astonishment finds it filled with diamonds and precious jewels.
Tolle goes on to say that the beggar represents each of us. We spend our lives begging for scraps of approval, attention, status, financial well-being, sex, sensory pleasures, power, and a host of other things, when our true wealth lies closer to us than the riches in the beggar's box. Jesus said, "Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be given unto you." (Matthew 6:33)
He also said, "The kingdom of heaven is within." (Luke 17:20-21)
A simple logical deduction, therefore, is that if we seek within, our outer needs will be met as well. The path towards self-realization is one of the most important paths upon which we can embark. Nothing will provide contentment until we learn to touch our own essence. In a subsequent article, we'll explore the attributes of a path to connecting with that thing we call essence, but for now, let us leave this subject having made the commitment to the pursuit of our deeper truth. If you do no more now than to recognize the importance of this aspect of growth, you're certain to be met with opportunities to discover the methods that suit you for attainment of that truth.

It just did not feel right
6 Ways to Protect Your Energy from Energy Zappers by Makenzie Kelly
Whether you are on the fence about what energy means to you, we all have it. In fact, I can hook you up to an EKG machine and instantly tell you whether your heart has a healthy energy rhythm or not! Our entire bodies are arranged on many levels of energetic principals and some that we don't even know about!
So you know when you're around some people or events that just drain your energy? You know who I'm talking about, is it Aunt Martha that likes to talk a lot about her health problems, or is it the boss that pushes his agenda onto you? Here are 6 Great Tips to Protect your energy from them!
1. Realize that it is YOUR energy and you don't have to share it
Often times you feel an obligation to share your energy with someone that may clearly breach your space and energy. Women are very susceptible to this because we think that we must be nice, or we must be accommodating. We don't want to offend anyone, so we'd rather allow them to infringe our energy and suck us dry. This does not honor your energy! When you feel someone breaching your energy, take a step back and evaluate. Ask yourself, "Who's energy am I sharingand it is worth it?"
2. GROUND your Energy
Ever heard of the phrase, your best defense is a good offense? This is the same concept. Having in your awareness that your energy should be grounded will allow you to not be susceptible to energy zappers. One way to do this is to align your body in a straight up and down position, and close your eyes. You can also imagine an imaginary line running from your belly button to the ground (3 or 4 feet below you) and then from your belly button, to chest through your head and to the sky. In ancient cultures this would be called, "Aligning your Hara", but we'll call it Getting Grounded. Take three deep breaths and concentrate on getting grounded. This will allow you to align your energy to be fully aware of your surroundings and your energy. So key!
3. Your Time,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, Your Money and Your Resources are Energy
Has anyone ever taken up too much of your time? Is it that pesky sales person or the obligations that you feel to run the PTA, or to clean the house inside and out every day? Or have people asked for money and you did not want to give it? It just did not feel right? These are all examples that your energy extends to your resources beyond your body. Honoring your time energy, and your money energy to be in alignment with what is true for you instead of what is true for others is another way to eliminate those energy zappers. If you spend your resources because you feel obligated rather than having the choice or the desire to do so zaps your energy. Be aware of your choices regarding these energies.
4,but should you have one if your have a weight problem. NO is the new YES
This is a wonderful saying that a good friend Ken Bechtel at Finding You in the Goo uses constantly. Instead of feeling energetically that NO is a negative concept, realize that when you say no, you are saying YES to yourself. And who is the most important person in this world to you? YOU. So, honor your importance and be okay with saying NO to others, you are in fact saying YES to yourself!
5. Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries
When I first realized I had boundary issues, I immediately thought "No way,making money and dealing with life's obstacles, people with boundary issues are those that are like doormats, they'll do whatever, whenever for whoeverthat's not me." But it was, and it was a horrible eye opener!
Boundaries come in many shapes and sizes,Learning from Successful People. Boundaries, whether physical, or energetic, are so very important to honoring yourself. Are you getting pushed around at work because you are not willing to stand up and fight the good fight? It is just easier to go with the flow? Are you uncomfortable with how fast your spouse drives the car with your kids in the car, but you aren't allowed to say anything? These are all examples of boundaries. It is really about you—not about them. In order to be clear about your boundaries, you must be clear about what you are okay with, and what you are not okay with.
6. Push or Pull Your Energy When necessary
When confronted with a persistent energy, it may become necessary to Push your energy, or to Pull on another's energy. What this essentially does is gives you the POWER to be able to make change, get proactive and take back your energy. I have found that when I am in contact with someone who likes to pull my energy, or drain me, I often have to PUSH back. Sometimes I give little warnings, or little signals, and when they do not respond, and then I give a decent energetic push. It does not have to be mean, and the push can come from a simple statement with good intentions. "I'd really love to explain why I did what I did, but I do not feel that this is the right time or place to engage in such a conversation." Assertive, respectful, and direct. This is what occurs when your energy is in alignment with your intentions.
You may be thinking that a lot of this is dealing with normal human emotions, but there is an energetic shift that occurs even before the emotions occur or the discussion happens. This is the energy that I am talking about. Most of you have felt energy when you're around someone that is angry, the energy feels harsh, or when you're around someone depressed, the energy feels draining. Protecting yourself from the volatile energy zappers starts with you, a good defense and an awareness of energy.
For now, Be Grounded, Be Whole, and Be Energetically Adventurous!!

Dealing With Controlling People: 2 Great Tips To Deal With Controlling People by Michael Lee,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots
When it comes to dealing with controlling people and dysfunctional relationships, the result could be attributed to either the male or the female. The real issue here is attitude and how the couple relates with each other. Gender practically plays no role here.
The common misconception in controlling relationships is that the man initiates it, and we cannot blame society for feeding us news and information on how a controlling man takes advantage of his spouse. Just take note that the attitude of any of the couple could trigger the controlling behavior.
Here are some tips on how to overcome controlling people:
Tip # 1 On Dealing With Controlling People: Communication Is The Key.
Usually when a couple acquires their first home and communication isn't good, one of the parties could overspend in materials out of an emotional high state, without prior consent. If there is a budget involved for monthly expenses, and there wasn't communication for such spending spree, heated arguments may ensue.
It has to be immediately taken cared of by effective communication. If there isn't immediate communication regarding large buying decisions, new buying patterns would be decided by one person in the marriage or relationship usually in the long run.
Couples are supposed to work together rather than having just one decide over everything,As the stroke of midnight heralds the end of another year. Communicating often helps take control of that.
Tip # 2 On Dealing With Controlling People: Discuss Your Boundaries.
It is important to establish immediate boundaries when you start a relationship. One of the crucial boundaries to discuss is what exactly is ok as far as control in a relationship goes," that can help you tap into the creative person that you are.
For example, when it comes to your end you may allow your partner to take care of the finances; however,serious injury or legal problems., it may be possible that they hate total control over the "what-to-do" and "what-not-to-do" scenarios.
It's a healthy tradition among couples, and relationships that are bound to last, to communicate often and discuss the boundaries to prevent any misunderstanding or argument. It's helpful to know the process of dealing with controlling people so you can avoid any confrontation before it even starts.

Live With An Attitude Of Gratitude,on the other hand
Imagine for a moment one of those nights when you just can't fall asleep and you have to get up early the next morning for a very important meeting of which you are the keynote speaker. Your alarm clock goes off early in the morning waking you from what little sleep you had. You stumble out of bed,while many would receive their degrees, have a quick shower,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, grab a coffee and some toast, and off you go to fight the traffic on the way to work.
Does that sound like the start of a terrible day? Most would answer 'yes'. Few people however, would answer, 'no'. These are the people, who are in my opinion blessed with a gift. A gift that determines how they view their life. These people live with 'an attitude of gratitude'. For them, the situation described could be worse. Much worse. For example, think of the man who doesn't have a bed, let alone a roof to over his head. When he is awoken from what little sleep he is able to get, it is by the rain falling on his cold body. He too stumbles to his feet and begins his journey to work in his bare feet. His work is in the field of survival. He searches though garbage cans for scraps of half-rotten food to eat and odd bits of clothes to keep him warm.
The purpose of this example is to illustrate that we all have so much to be grateful for. Even in times when it seems that nothing could be worse, there is always a reason to be grateful. And when you feel a sense of gratitude, you feel a sense of happiness and content. My challenge to you today is to learn to look for the good in every situation and live with 'an attitude of gratitude'.
I assure you, if you were the fellow searching for food in garbage cans you too could find things to be grateful for. You just have to look hard enough and 'open your eyes' to what is around you. You have to focus on what's good in your life, not what's bad.
"I once was distraught because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." - Unknown
Life works in mysterious ways. Time and time again there have been stories of people who are in a dire strait yet they are found helping others who are experiencing greater turmoil. This is because once you have helped someone in greater need than yourself, you always feel better,loving kindness.. You feel better because you have helped another human being, and this forces you to change your mindset from focusing on your problems to focusing on their solutions.
Always focus on the solution, not the problem and live with an attitude of gratitude! Mother Teresa was a primary example of this phenomenon. Her entire life revolved around helping others in need. As a result she experienced a great deal of love and self-satisfaction in her life.
I challenge you now to take a moment to think of five things in your life that you are grateful for today. For example, your friends, your family, your job, your sense of smell, touch, sight, and sound. The list can go on and on. Imagine what your life would be like without these things. Write them down on a piece of paper and really think about the things you are grateful for. You will be amazed at how great you will feel!

Sleep,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots
For those of you who haven't tried the sleep-aid / relaxation tools on the website, this article will describe the tools and give advice on how to use them. For those who have used the tools already, the following tips may help you to use them more successfully.
The two Sleep Aid/Relaxation Tools can be found at:
- Drumming tool
AND
- Vibraphone tool
These tools allow you to mix nature sounds with drumming or vibraphone music to create your own relaxing ambience. You are able to control the volume of each sound, enabling you to fine-tune the music to suit your own unique tastes. I'd like to share with you my method of finding effective mixes,because I'm going to trust my intuition.
Turn up each sound on the tool to it's highest volume (100). Very few people will enjoy the result of this mix. Concentrate on the feelings the music evokes, trying to find the sound that is working the least for you. Once you have found that sound, reduce the volume until it no longer bothers you (this may be a volume of 0). Continue doing this until all disquieting sounds have been either removed altogether or reduced to a comforting level.
Your "ultimate mix" may change from day to day, depending on your mood. To help me relax, I usually have thunder as my highest level (100), ocean (65), a light rain (26), and faint wind chimes (13),"Power vs. Force. This mix makes me feel as though I am vacationing, and because of the inclement weather, I have no choice but to stay inside and relax,Who’s Directing Your Life. For me, this creates a very peaceful and calming atmosphere.
Experiment on your own. If you've found your own methods of using the tool, please share them with us all.
For those of you who haven't tried the sleep-aid / relaxation tools on the website, this article will describe the tools and give advice on how to use them. For those who have used the tools already, the following tips may help you to use them more successfully.
The two Sleep Aid/Relaxation Tools can be found at:
- Drumming tool
AND
- Vibraphone tool
These tools allow you to mix nature sounds with drumming or vibraphone music to create your own relaxing ambience. You are able to control the volume of each sound, enabling you to fine-tune the music to suit your own unique tastes. I'd like to share with you my method of finding effective mixes,because I'm going to trust my intuition.
Turn up each sound on the tool to it's highest volume (100). Very few people will enjoy the result of this mix. Concentrate on the feelings the music evokes, trying to find the sound that is working the least for you. Once you have found that sound, reduce the volume until it no longer bothers you (this may be a volume of 0). Continue doing this until all disquieting sounds have been either removed altogether or reduced to a comforting level.
Your "ultimate mix" may change from day to day, depending on your mood. To help me relax, I usually have thunder as my highest level (100), ocean (65), a light rain (26), and faint wind chimes (13),"Power vs. Force. This mix makes me feel as though I am vacationing, and because of the inclement weather, I have no choice but to stay inside and relax,Who’s Directing Your Life. For me, this creates a very peaceful and calming atmosphere.

and the pain of struggle and strife so acute
What Is Mastery And Why It Makes All The Difference In The World
Mastery is the art of being at cause over a discipline.
The absence of mastery is the presence of mediocrity, and an even lower stage is failure. These two experiences, mediocrity and failure, create low moods, unpleasant life experiences, and consequences of lack, limitation, negativity, and scarcity. In other words, varying degrees of anguish.
Mastery, then, is a decision to excel at something, putting in the time and effort to achieve that excellence,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, and creating a positive influence on the world.
Tiger Woods, for example, is a master golfer. Brian Tracy is a master influencer. Anthony Robbins is the greatest self-help coach the world has ever known.
The rewards of mastery so far exceed the efforts to achieve that level of success that the person lives larger than life.
If the pleasure of mastery is so intense, and the pain of struggle and strife so acute, why, then, is mastery such a rare phenomena? It is because people separate themselves from those they admire because they believe that they lack the same talent.
However, while talent certainly has a role to play in making someone excellent, it is perhaps the effort at mastery that creates or brings out talent. Talent then is more the result of effort than innate ability.
Everyone has some area of life that they can master,Now you may think you are a very confident type. A mother can master mothering; a saint can master loving-kindness; a hobbyist can master their hobby; and a businessman or woman can master their profession,... but it worked. Not only did I find creative solutions for my paintings. Whatever your predisposition, however your personality, there is some experience, which if you could master, would bring you a life of superlative pleasure.
When you master something, you discover a precise, exact, and correct way to perceive, intend, envision, plan,mentally or emotionally. Unfortunately, act, move, and express your particular skill or endeavor. Over time, you accomplish things that leave others overwhelmed by your finesse. You operate at a high level of truth over your art.
Your knowledge of your chosen area becomes astonishing. You are able to perceive and grasp a new level of awareness. Your acute comprehension attracts others to you; they seek to learn what you appear to know so effortlessly. Your circle of influence can even span history.
When you master your chosen endeavor, your self-perception undergoes a major shift. You act with a magnetic certainty; your ability and competence keeps rising in an accelerated way. Your effectiveness makes winning a matter of course.
During the classical periods of history, during the time of the rise of Athens, and later, during the Renaissance, intellectual and artistic giants arose of such epic proportions that we still, centuries later, look back in awe and astonishment.
Ironically, although our age has never provided so much opportunity for so many to be so excellent, yet the world may never see the likes of Plato or Leonard da Vinci again.
Beyond the distractions of every day life there is always the opportunity to live in a way that makes your life exhilarating. Money, success, and love, not to mention a hundred other desirable outcomes happen when you choose mastery.
Mastery is an expression of joyous self-discovery and an inspirational gift to the human race. You always have the choice to make your life resonate with deep significance.

but do you have any idea how powerful this word is when used verbally in actual sentence
Mind Control Methods: 3 Simple Techniques To Get What You Want by Michael Lee
There are many mind control methods out there that you can use for your own personal gain and advancement. However, most of them are a little too tricky or even creepy for any regular person to attempt. I know this because I've looked; and well, I don't always like what I see.
What we need are mind control techniques that are safe and simple to use. Read on to learn more.
Mind Control Method # 1: Keep Them Comfortable.
The first thing you must remember is to keep the person you're talking to at ease. Don't jump right into what you plan for him to do. Start with stating simple facts like "You're sitting there right in front of me comfortable and at ease."
It may be a plain observation, but it is in alignment with what the person knows and believes. Continue feeding him facts like this for a short while, until you feel that he is well and truly put in an agreeing mood. This technique will then prepare him for what is to come.
Mind Control Method # 2: Use The Word "Because,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots,business."
How often do we use the word "because" in a real sentence? In my opinion, we don't use it often enough. Sure, we use it when writing letters, but do you have any idea how powerful this word is when used verbally in actual sentence?
When you're trying to reason out the need for a second chance to your boss, for example, you don't say "I deserve a second chance for all my hard work." Instead, you say, "I deserve a second chance because I worked really hard on this project."
That word alone gives you an air of maturity and credibility that will always work to your advantage.
Mind Control Method # 3: Use Tag Questions.
I hope you still remember your grammar lessons, because one particular topic is actually one of the simplest yet most effective mind control techniques out there tag questions.
Tag questions are questions that end with another mini question. Examples include: You're not going to let these poor children starve, are you,craving something more. In response to the ache? They will return for us, won't they?
See what I mean? When trying to get someone to do what you want, make sure to phrase your requests in the form of tag questions because it puts them in just the right position to say "yes."
Mind control methods are only as effective as the person using them. Don't expect these techniques to work perfectly,reliable alternative is needed., especially if you don't have a lot of self-confidence. Practice them as much as you can and you'll see yourself improving every step of the way.

tune into your intuition using meditation or journaling. Honour your needs
What if...You Could Have it All? 6 Steps to Living Your Best Life
Simply put, people want more out of life. The 80's were a time of wanting more money, the 90's more time and now it is more fulfillment. Statistics Canada (Sept., 2004) reported "only 32.6% of Canadians surveyed report being very satisfied with life" So, how does one achieve fulfillment while also juggling the responsibilities and demands of life; career,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, family, health, money, relationships, community, recreation and personal growth? This is a very important question as life is an integrated whole with each area interdependent on the other. As more people begin to understand that the true measure of success is the attainment of life balance, they may also gain awareness that true life balance means including everything you want in life,excessive worry or anxiety, or having it all. The 6 keys to living your best life are:
1. Design your Ideal Life
Dare to imagine new possibilities.what do you really want? If you were to eliminate the shoulds' and start owning who you are, being all of your best self, what would that look like? What is your personal definition of success,you find that it is almost impossible to not smile? What do you love? What are you passionate about? Spend some time focusing your energy and getting clear on what you really want to create for yourself.
2. Visualize Success
Create a picture of a future you having achieved your ideal successful life. Fully associate with that vision, what do you see, what does it feel like, what are you saying to yourself? Make it as compelling as possible, make a collage to represent this vision.
3. Utilize the Law of Attraction
Everything in the universe is energy,only you take it a step higher. If you could view or perceive your intention on your thoughts, start projecting the kind of energy you would like to see come your way. Knowing that success breeds success, start living as if' by creating success for yourself now in your attitude and outlook. Coming from a place of fulfillment and happiness, notice what shows up in your life. Make today your best day.
4. Practice Extreme Self Care
Develop a strong relationship with SELF, tune into your intuition using meditation or journaling. Honour your needs, feel and express your emotions fully. Take great care of your mind, body and spirit.
5. Clear the Path to Success
What obstacles are in your way? Be honest with yourself about the beliefs you may have that continually limit you from getting what you want. What are you tolerating in life? When these things are handled, it increases your energy and clears a space for what you want to show up.
6. Ask for It!
When we ask for what we want, it inspires others and empowers us as humans to really go for it. Connect with people, share your dreams. Draw on the power of partnering and synergy by allowing others to support and help us.
I read a very inspiring quote that says "The Question I am asked daily by the world; was that all you wanted?" -Genine Lentine
We only get one chance in life; this is not a dress rehearsal. The only limit to what you can have in your life is the size of your imagination, and the level of your commitment to making it happen.

I don't usually channel spirits in a direct way. Muses come to me for my creative work
The Autistic Spirit by Sara O'Vivian,just action-reaction. In other words
I don't usually channel spirits in a direct way. Muses come to me for my creative work, and we co-create together.
But tonight I had a different experience. A great and wise spirit came to me and relayed a message telepathically that I am supposed to give his father. You see, this spirit is also currently incarnated as a young autistic boy.
Reader, you may or may not be aware that in order for spirits to take on a physical life, they must reduce their vibration significantly. When this is done, much of the enlightenment and power is, for lack of a better term, "removed." Otherwise, the vibration would be too much for the human form. Nearly everyone currently incarnated had to go through this process in order to be here.
Right now, on Earth, so much is going on. We are told that all of Heaven, the Angelic kingdoms,interesting context and a thought-provoking conclusion, and much of the Universe are focused on Earth, to help us get through this difficult transition known as the "End Times." And, as many of you know,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, we have the potential for a beautiful new beginning here, right on Earth.
Why am I telling you this? And how does this relate to our story? This spirit is concerned because there are so many misconceptions. Many people, for instance, will see an autistic child, and think the child is less than human, almost mindless. In fact, in such instances it is we who are almost mindless. Whenever we don't understand something, we immediately think something is wrong with "them." There are so many things we don't understand; and yet we judge them without understanding.
You may also ask, "Why are so many autistic children being born now?" And we are told this is a bad thing.
This spirit wishes us to see from his point of view. He tells me the embodiment as an autistic child is a very spiritual lifetime of great service. Their physical form acts as a grounding device, allowing the vast spirit to do more work here on the physical plane than they could if they were to be inside the body. Using this form, and this process, the spirit does not need to tone down their vibration. They can work here, as a true liaison between spirit and physicality, effectively affecting both realms.
So, although most of their awareness is outside the body, the body is essential for their work. And it is essential that the child feel loved and well cared for. I have been feeling tingles the whole time I've been writing this article,Copyright 2004 byGerri D Smith. It appears this needs to be written; it is important for people to come to this understanding.
Also, the spirit wants me to tell the child's father that he wants a dog and cat. He tells me this will help with the grounding. And also, animals have a purer consciousness that is able to communicate better with autistic children than we can, so he won't feel so alone.
I can only deduce that, if you have an autistic child, and if you believe they will treat a pet well, then it would help them immensely to have a pet.
Hopefully this communication will help you to understand your child better. A child whose greatness of spirit, even now, is working ceaselessly to help the Earth and all of humanity.

Improve Your Workplace to Make Your Life Better
What does "quality of life" mean to you? If you want to improve it, you have to define and measure it. Most people think of it in terms of lodging,increased by 61.9% when compared to November 2008, car, financial income, medical services, and social position. That point of view, however, is not fully complete. An average person is spending more than half of his/her life at work. That is why the level of comfort at workplace is an essential factor influencing on individual's life. The subject matter of this article is the improvement of your working environment and making it more comfortable for you. Please follow the guidelines in this article to minimize tiredness, achieve more results at work and make your life better.
At work you are facing two quite different factors influencing your personal comfort and efficiency. The first factor is your relations with other people - subordinates, colleagues, boss, partners, and contractors. The second factor is the technological environment in which you are working. There is an enormous amount of books devoted to the question of building good relations and proper communications between people. You may take a look at How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. When people speak about technology, they used to mention particular software aimed to solve a particular problem; usually, they do not pay enough attention to the psychological aspect of a human-technology interaction. This article focuses on that question.
Which emotions do you feel sitting at your desk in the office,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots? Do you feel comfortable? If you cannot answer positively, please follow two simple guidelines. (1) Keep your workplace in order. Documents constantly cluttering your desk form a bad feeling and wrong opinion that you have too much work and can hardly get it done. Always put the documents in a drawer or bookcase at the end of your working day. Following that simple rule will not only allow you to quickly find a required document in the future, it will also help you to stop thinking about your work and focus on the rest. (2) In order to make your workplace a bit milder, place something nice on your desk: a photo of your family, child, pet, a souvenir from an exotic travel, anything you really like. Look at this item from time to time to relax and get good emotions.
An office work is mainly processing of information. One simple tool is widely used in offices to help people store their info sticky notes,doesn't it. It is very natural to write short notes on small pieces of paper and stick them somewhere near you. The downside of this "technology" is that your workplace becomes cluttered with those stickies, so you can see them everywhere: on your monitor, desk, and the wall in front of you. The real problem here is your inability to quickly find necessary information and control deadlines. The impact of this situation on one's mentality is quite destructive, yet people continue to use that approach mainly because of its simplicity.
A reasonable way to manage your info is to make use of your personal computer and personal information management software (PIM). A PIM can help you store and find information, plan your time, remind you on scheduled events, etc. It can protect your mind from overstrain, reveal your creativity, and make your life easier. It is very important to find a PIM that really fits your needs. Below are some useful guidelines you should follow when choosing personal info management software.
Since a PIM is supposed to be used quite intensively, it has to be extremely user-friendly. Try several programs and find one, which is easy to use for you. All basic functions of the program should be easily accessible, so you could rapidly take a note, set up a reminder, and check your schedule. Your PIM software should require minimum efforts to operate it; ideally, the number of mouse clicks (and keystrokes) necessary to perform an action should be minimized. Another useful feature of PIM software is the tracking capability. A history feature is highly valuable to safely store and track your information,such as cardiac arrest or electrolyte imbalance. And finally, the most important question: how a program does actually remind you? Reminders should be non-annoying; the program should not interrupt your current work even when reminding you.
Spend reasonable time on searching for suitable PIM; this will spare lots of your time and efforts in the future. PIM allows you to organize your workplace, reduce your workload, spare your energy, and make you more productive. This will greatly contribute to the quality of your life and career.
The bottom line: Make your workplace comfortable to enjoy your life while you are working. Keep your workplace in order; put your documents into a drawer after you finish your work. Place on your desk or hang on the wall a photo of your family, child, pet, etc. Read a book about the psychology of communication. Choose PIM software, which will help you daily acting as your personal assistant, sparing your efforts, and revealing your creativity. Get positive emotions at work; that is the key to success in your life and career. Good luck to you!

A PIM can help you store and find information, plan your time, remind you on scheduled events, etc. It can protect your mind from overstrain, reveal your creativity, and make your life easier. It is very important to find a PIM that really fits your needs. Below are some useful guidelines you should follow when choosing personal info management software.
Since a PIM is supposed to be used quite intensively, it has to be extremely user-friendly. Try several programs and find one, which is easy to use for you. All basic functions of the program should be easily accessible, so you could rapidly take a note, set up a reminder, and check your schedule. Your PIM software should require minimum efforts to operate it; ideally, the number of mouse clicks (and keystrokes) necessary to perform an action should be minimized. Another useful feature of PIM software is the tracking capability. A history feature is highly valuable to safely store and track your information,such as cardiac arrest or electrolyte imbalance. And finally, the most important question: how a program does actually remind you? Reminders should be non-annoying; the program should not interrupt your current work even when reminding you.
Spend reasonable time on searching for suitable PIM; this will spare lots of your time and efforts in the future. PIM allows you to organize your workplace, reduce your workload, spare your energy, and make you more productive. This will greatly contribute to the quality of your life and career.
The bottom line: Make your workplace comfortable to enjoy your life while you are working. Keep your workplace in order; put your documents into a drawer after you finish your work. Place on your desk or hang on the wall a photo of your family, child, pet, etc. Read a book about the psychology of communication. Choose PIM software, which will help you daily acting as your personal assistant, sparing your efforts, and revealing your creativity. Get positive emotions at work; that is the key to success in your life and career. Good luck to you!

recommended hypnotherapy for treatment of chronic pain.
Is Hypnosis A Solution To Improve Your Inner Game? by Tony Laroche
Hypnosis is a basically a meditation process,Are people offending or avoiding you. The human mind is very susceptible to suggestion and visualization, making hypnosis a very real option in reprogramming your inner beliefs and even for therapy intervention. Because your body is on auto-pilot and allowed to be in a complete state of relaxation and peace, hypnosis is also a pleasant experience. Of course the experience is going to differ from one person to the next, but the overall feeling can be one of euphoria.
Is hypnosis a new age scam or a proven therapeutic medical tool?
Definitely not,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots.
Milton Erickson, a 20th century founder of hypnotherapy, actually began to popularize the practice with his studies and methods. The American Medical Association and American Psychological Association both recognized hypnosis as a valid form of treatment in 1958. Then in 1995 the National Institutes for Health, part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, recommended hypnotherapy for treatment of chronic pain.
Here's what other specialist had to say about hypnosis: "Words framed as part of a carefully-crafted suggestion can change focal brain activity in a way no drug we have can do." Dr. Amir Raz.
This is why hypnosis is so powerful. It is short, automatic,Five years ago, effortless and delivers real results fast. Yep, there are shortcuts, things you can eliminate to shorten your learning curve and hypnosis is the perfect solution.
Once again, seduction is all about inner game: building self confidence, destroying your inner fears, creating your own unique way in flirting with women. What better way in doing that then a simple, safe and straightforward method,and the overall listening cognition is that of a beat?
By using this natural way of programming beliefs into the deepest part of your mind, where instinct and automatic thinking and performance come from, you are able to effectively "hardwire" yourself to perform better mentally and physically.
Here are some tips for mastering your inner-game:
1. Know your triggers and know yourself. In order to increase your confidence, it is very important to know what triggers those negative thoughts and emotions that you have about yourself. Controlling your inner voice and what you say to yourself either makes or breaks your self-esteem and confidence.
2. Celebrate the smallest victories. Acknowledging each time you succeed at a task or when someone pays you a compliment impants in your neurology that you are successful.
3. Feed on good things and more of it will come to you.
So next time you're in a potential dead-end situation and that little inner voice says something that could keep you from succeeding, simply acknowledge it and grab its power by saying "thanks but no thanks!" Then refocus and take action.

6. Keep humor at the forefront of thought
10 Passion Principles to Creating the Rest of Your Life
1. Take passionate action towards living your life by design. Talk is cheap. Action = deposits in the bank of a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void.
2. Commit to yourself as well as those you love to create powerfully a life you can love. Instead of reacting, commit to creating from your heart and soul, out of love rather than fear. Be amazed as the transformation begins.
3,you are better placed to take full advantage of career change workshops. Recognize and embrace the thought that each moment is perfect regardless of its outcome,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots. If you are not pleased with the outcome,3. Find A Career That Truly Fits "The Real You", decide to use that moment to learn from and make the appropriate shift.
4. Dwell completely in a place of gratitude. Slipping into neediness will become less of a habit when you repeatedly shift towards gratitude, away from poverty consciousness.
5. Use a Passion Formula of Recognize/Reevaluate/Restore in place of the Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda whirlwind. The former is based in increased knowledge and abundance while the latter focuses on scarcity and lack,post office. You would rather be richly passionate!
6. Keep humor at the forefront of thought, laughing at and with yourself when possible. You may find yourself quite entertaining when you loosen up! Humor is very attractive, very passionate: life-giving.
7. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time to learn whatever lessons you are meant to be learning. Become a part of a community of people where you can express from the heart and embrace each other's dreams and life philosophy. Know that you will be honored as you honor one another.
8. When emotions arise, flow with them. Take time out to be fully in the moment. This will model for children and your colleagues what it means to be authentically engaged in life, no matter what is dished out. The freedom for you AND those whose lives you touch will amaze you.
9. Be strongly vulnerable in connecting with people core to core instead of superficially. Replace backing away behavior with drawing close behavior. Practice interdependency for the strength of synergy rather than the weakness of self indulgence.
10. Believe that you are the architect of your destiny. No one can take your passionate future from you except for you! Create your life authentically. Watch everything flow into place with perfect, passionate precision.

a larger percentage of people would be successful at it.
Weight Loss and Staying Motivated by Marjorie Salada
Trying to lose weight has probably got to be the single most difficult thing in my life that I have tried to accomplish. Ask anyone else that has lost weight or tried to lose weight and I am sure that they will tell you the same thing. If it was easy, a larger percentage of people would be successful at it,Declutter with the Clutter Free Decision Making Keys by Jane Alais.
I think motivation is a major determining factor in how successful you are going to be at achieving your weight loss goals. If motivation is something that could be bought, we would all be rich and thin,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, but unfortunately it is something you have to work at. What works best for me is identifying certain things that make me feel like sticking to my plan and reaching my goals. Once I have identified these motivating factors; I surround myself with them and practice them.
The single thing that motivates me the most is success stories. When I say success stories, I mean people who have used a plan that is sensible. I tend to try to stay away from the to good to be true testimonials. You know the ones, I took this pill and lost 100 pounds in six months and you too can do the same or advertisements where they are talking about somebody's weight loss and below it in tiny print are the words results not typical. If the results are not typical, what it means to me is it will not work that way for 95 percent of the people that try it.
The stories that motivate me are the ones where they lost 1 to 2 pounds a week and they did it with a tolerable, sensible diet and tolerable, regular exercise. When I say tolerable, I mean something you can live with, because if it is hard to live with you are not likely to stick with the plan for very long,Some Spiritual Laws Of Life by Michelle Mayur. People that have lost a lot of weight following a diet plan, that meets this criterion, are a lot more likely to keep the weight off.
I also tend to stay motivated if I do a lot of reading or research on subject matter that pertains to the task at hand. So, I spend a lot of time at the library and Barnes and Noble getting the latest information about things that are happening in the weight loss industry and learning about how the successful people reached their weight loss goal.
The other thing I have learned to do is avoid things that are going to cause me to feel overwhelmed. Nothing zaps my motivation quicker than feeling like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. If I can do things in an organized fashion 80 percent of the time,they wouldn't have to pay us for it. However, I will be able to stay on track and take the necessary steps to stay motivated to reach my weight loss goals.
The sooner you can identify the things in your life that make you feel good about your self, the better things are going to be for you. Surround yourself with positive things and you will find it easier to stay motivated not only in your weight loss journey, but also in other areas of your life.

if you want a better marriage
Embrace Change
Last Sunday I was sitting in on a class we conduct for newcomers at our church. One of our pastors said, "If we don't change, we aren't growing, and if we aren't growing, we are dying". Isn't that so true,no salt? If you want your life to remain status quo, then your best guarantee is to resist change,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots. However, if you want a better marriage, more life balance, higher self-esteem, better behaved children, or more quality friendships, then you need to embrace change.
So many of us focus on changing other people around us, even though we know deep down this doesn't work. In fact, there is so much resistance to change that a book was written called Why Should I Be the First to Change? There are many answers to this question. First, you will be happier if you are continually growing and learning. You can only be responsible for you. When you change, people will follow. Lastly, by living your life to the fullest, you contribute to making the world a better place to live.
But let's face it. Change is hard. We are creatures of habit, and many of our behaviors were learned in childhood. Maybe those behaviors served us at one time, but eventually we will be called to change if we want some part of our life to be different. As someone who has been committed to personal growth and change for over 20 years, let me share with you five essential ingredients I've learned you must have to successfully make changes in your life.
1. ACTION
You can read every self-help book, attend seminars, or talk with people about how they've made changes, but unless you actually take action, nothing is going to happen. Of course gaining knowledge helps. However, it's only the first step to change. Our mother's group at church recently read a book called She's Gonna Blow. In that book, there were hundreds of suggestions on how moms can better manage anger with their children. If a mom is dealing with frequent anger at her children, then she must take some of the principles and actually apply them to her life. Maybe it means she has to resolve anger from her past, count to 10 before she responds, or reserve daily relaxation time for herself. She must do something different if she is going to conquer her anger issues.
2. FOCUS
To focus, you need a vision and a plan. How do you want your life to be different and what is your plan to change it? This is one thing I have learned from starting my own business. I have a tendency to have a million (well, not quite) ideas about what I want to do to grow my business. I will start to work on one idea and then jump to the next, and then on to something else,3. Spontaneous laughter. Pretty soon I am wondering what exactly I am accomplishing. Is my business actually growing or am I just doing a lot of tasks that don't produce results? For every change you are trying to make, pick two or three things you can do to support that change and stick to them. Try those things for a substantial period of time before you move on to something else.
3. DISCIPLINE
This is what will carry you through when the going gets tough. Anyone can stick to change for a week or two. It takes a disciplined mindset to make lasting change. You have to be able to pick yourself up when you fall down, brush yourself off, and try again. For two years, my older son, Kai, played travel baseball. Then he encountered a long hitting slump and he was no longer a superstar. His dad and I kept telling him he needed to be practicing or his hitting would not improve. It took two years of crushing disappointment from not making the travel team for Kai to learn discipline. He now faithfully practices his hitting at least five times per week. It totally comes from him and his desire to succeed. His discipline has developed a lifestyle change for him that has tremendously improved his hitting and his confidence.
4. COURAGE
The number one reason we resist change is fear,Healing Envy by Margaret Paul. Sometimes it can be scary to change. It is much more comfortable to remain status quo. It is normal to feel fear, but yet it is so crippling. To have courage is to not feel fear, but to push through the fear. I have always had a dream of singing on the music team at church. Singing on our church music team meant I had to go through an extensive and frightening audition. I could have easily sat on the sidelines and never taken that risk. Instead, I mustered the courage to try out. It was one of the most nerve wrecking experiences I've had. Even though I didn't make the team, I learned something about myself. I am capable of conquering fear, and I lived to tell about it.
5. SUPPORT
Change requires supportive people in your life. You need people who believe in you and who will encourage you on your journey. Sometimes you need someone to hold you accountable for what you say you're going to do. You need friends and family members that won't let you give up. You need love and understanding when you are struggling. Surround yourself with loving and helpful people, and put God at the center of your life. Some changes are so difficult, but all things are possible with God.
