My Part-Time Maid Saves My Weekends

By Diana Liong

It have always been lucky enough for having had the chance to get across a part-time maid agency that was nice enough to fix a certain part-time maid to do the weekly cleaning for our home. We all may be aware that part-time maids serve the same function as full time maids. They perform typical domestic chores such as cooking, ironing, washing, cleaning, grocery shopping, walking the family dog, and tending to the household children. Well, the difference is that part-time maids only drop in once a week or every two weeks, as scheduled and they will only stay within your home for 3 hours, also as scheduled.

In Singapore, there are only a few households that can afford live in domestic helpers and maids. In lieu of this affordability issue, a part time maid service who does periodic cleaning for a much cheaper fee is a great alternative.

My part-time maid is a great help when it comes to cleaning and tidying up the house, which, for me is the most troublesome chore of all. I do not have a child, yet I barely have time to clean the house. I can not imagine what it is like for those with more than two kids!

Three hours is enough for my part-time maid to pick up scattered laundry, straighten up the living room pillows and chairs, scrub the floors, wipe the windows clean, scrub the toilets and the bathroom as well. It even leaves her enough time to wash my clothes and iron my clothes. Such convenience comes from my part-time maid. In a week, I only spend around $60 for her services. $60 for quality time and a stress free weekend is fine with me.

The best part of it all is that I do not have to worry about levies, social security issues and other income taxes for my part-time maid. - 20763

Your Healthy Body = A Healthy Marriage

By Margaret Hardisty

Mary was always thin when she was growing up. However, her figure tended to move outward a bit when it came to her thighs. Still, she was very attractive and looked good in her clothes. After she'd had three children, though, her body began to move outward all over. She liked the fact that it gave her bigger breasts, but the rest was depressing to her. Actually, she was feeling trapped. Her husband was working overtime to deal with additional costs and had little time to help her with the kids.

Her unhappiness began to chip away at their relationship. He never talked about her weight but inside she felt disgusting and ugly and took her frustrations out on him. He fought back and when other things began to pound at them, such as huge bills and a job loss, she decided the only way out of the whole mess was to get divorced. She no longer wanted to save the marriage.

Despite her foolish decision, she realized that she couldn't go it alone. She hadn't finished her education and at best she could get a low paying job. She also didn't want to lose her children. She decided only a lose weight and find another man.

Her decisions devastated her husband who didn't spot the signs soon enough, and once he did, he refused to change anything he was doing to save his marriage. He wanted her to change, not him. She changed, all right, but not in the way that would save their marriage. Still, part of what she should have done several years before, she did now. She took an extreme response to dieting that did lose her weight. A lot of it.

She changed, all right, but not in the way that would save their marriage. Still, part of what she should have done several years before, she did now. She started regulating her diet - stringently - and she lost weight. A lot of it. She also found another man and had an affair. The man was a dog, but because she was running from her hurt - and trying to run from herself as well as her husband - she couldn't see that. The "dog" went his way, in time, and she scouted for another guy, found him - another dog - and in time, he went his way. Meanwhile she filed for divorce, and continued to do what she could to make her figure better. V:3

The question is: Why couldn't she realize that her overeating and not taking care of her body was part of the whole picture of unhappiness that she was experiencing and that it eventually would result in the loss of her marriage? Why couldn't her ex-husband see that, as well, and do something about it before it was too late? The overweight was a symptom, not the basic problem.

If overweight is a monster gnawing at you, determine to do something about it now so you don't lose your marriage Yes, it's a symptom, but getting rid of a symptom can help with getting to the root of the real problems. Problems can cause emotional stress and physical illness and it all can tie in with being overweight. The body is a marvelous machine. All parts work together and affect one another.

Keep in mind, when the ball comes swishing toward your bat, you're the only one who can be there swinging. Either you practice until you hit it or you drop your bat and trot back to the dugout. You have to do it yourself. This is one thing you must do on your own. We have quite a bit of material on this at Love Relationship Headquarters. And as far as your marriage is concerned, no matter how bad or boring you think it may be, unless it is abusive, it's worth saving - not only for your sake but for your husband's and your children's.

We show you how, not only to save your marriage, but how to make it better and, frankly, exciting. Get started on our materials and books today so your home will be a happy, peaceful one, not one filled with strife and fat bodies.

Reading And Comprehension Of A Credit Score Report

By Marc Marseille

A credit score chart is what lenders look at to see whether you are in fine standing or not. This aids them to choose whether or not to borrow you money that you need to purchase a automobile, a house or pay for tuition.

Because it does not consider gender, race, religion, martial status or national root, it is fair. What they utilize as basis is your deeds over the past few years. They will glimpse into your credit history to view if you have any bills or outstanding loans, lines of credit and your credit report history.

There are many aspects involved in evaluating credit score, if you do not score well on one aspect, you might be able to do extremely well in another area.

Countless lenders use the FICO scoring system. FICO scores are available to both the consumer and the creditor.

The credit score chart ranges from 300 to 850. An indication of a nice credit score is one greater than 700. A score of 700 and above supplies the consumer an upper hand with regards to qualifying financing. Some people fall below the 700 limit, but there are many ways to enhance on a lesser score.

Take into account that the credit score chart is just numbers. They don't tell you how to improve your score or preserve it. So, to aid you along the way, here are a few things you can carry out.

First, pay your bills in a timely manner. Paying your invoices in a timely manner is mandatory, you must attempt to save a standby for your monthly statements weeks in advance. The extra cautious you're about paying your bills, the harder it will be for you to overlook a payment.

Second, diminish your obligation. Make your greatest effort to curtail spending habits. Invoices such as your lease and mortgage logically can't be compromised, but you can always find methods to curb your credit card and leisure spending.

Third, if you believe possessing many lines of credit is nice, think once again. Studies show that somebody with numerous lines of credit has a greater probability for getting behind in their bills. So, if you don't necessitate it, don't even waste your time applying for a lot of visa cards or lines of credit.

Fourth, examine your credit file. If you have paid your bills and loans in a timely manner but your score is not that high, confirm for blunders. Most of the time, you might discover 1 or two things there that aren't reporting correctly. If this is the situation, contact the credit bureau and send them the supporting documents to prove your situation.

The usual protocol here is for the the 3 credit bureaus to conduct an investigation. If your lender can't dispute what you have claimed within 30 days, then they have to change and issue you a corrected copy of your credit bureau report.

There are many techniques to get a credit score report for no cost, you can compare the various agencies that offer this service and evaluate them. A few will award you a copy for free while others will request you to shell out a certain amount monthly. The majority of them however will provide you a no cost trial for you to see your free of charge credit report and score, you'll then have the option of registering for a per month credit monitoring service. - 20763

Ways To Remove Unwanted Body Hair

By Christian Lewis

Many people face the issue of unwanted hair and struggle to get results even after trying out various techniques of hair removal. The type of hair removal technique that is best for you depends on the location and concentration of hair growth as well as on your type of skin and its sensitivity.

The most popular means of removing unwanted hair is shaving. Even though shaving is effective and inexpensive, the flip side is that it is only temporary and you need to keep on shaving on a routine basis in order to ensure hair-free skin. For example, men usually shave their facial hair daily. Shaving is also suitable for freeing areas such as chest or legs of unwanted hair.

Waxing hair off the body is another option. It is a messy procedure that can generally not be done at home without outside assistance. The benefit of waxing is that the hair is extracted from the root, and it takes twelve to fifteen days to reappear, providing freedom from unwanted hair for a longer time. But remember that waxing is a painful method and should not be carried out on sensitive body parts.

The third process is using a hair removal cream, which is simple to apply and can be used without anyone's assistance. While this is free from pain, the hair grows back quicker than in the method of waxing. The skin can also be allergic to the components of the cream resulting in appearance of ugly rashes.

Those people who have more hair on certain areas of the body than others can opt for hair transplant, in which hair is taken out from the high hair density areas and planted on the less hairy parts. This is a complicated procedure and must be used only if there are no other options.

Lastly, laser hair removal treatment can be opted for, but it is very expensive. The primary benefit of laser treatment is its everlasting results. But for avoiding scarring or other accidents, it should only be done by trained professionals. - 20763

Enjoy A Movie At Home And Rent

By Mike Turner

Hard day at work? Home alone with no plans nor obligations for the night? Why not stay and watch one of your favorite movies? It's a great way to spend the night at home.

Just relaxing with a great show and a couple of snacks is a great way to brighten the end to an otherwise dull or stressful day.

A movie rental is also a great idea for the whole family. All families should have time where they do things together. While this may not seem like quality time, its actually a great way to strengthen bonds.

Movies are a good source of shared conversations, and there is nothing wrong with unwinding as a family either.

For the health nuts out there, try cutting up some fruits and vegetables for a healthy snack during the movie. Spice it up with some dip and you're good to go. Then again, there is always popcorn. Yum!

Of course, depending on your movie choice during the rental night, everyone watching may be too engrossed in the film to even care what they're snacking on.

A really big trend going on right now is renting movies online. This option is absolutely perfect for those who tend to rent movies very often. Some of the online rental service providers offer full year memberships so that you can enjoy renting as much as you want all year round.

Online renting may just be a great deal for you. Just crunch some numbers to see if this option fits your budget and lifestyle. If you rent often, than it could definitely be worth it.

Online movie rental is also really convenient. How many people really feel like stopping one more place on the way home after a long day at work? When you rent online, you simply send your movies back through mail.

You usually make your next movie rental selection online, with the click of a button. Then all you have to do is wait a day and they appear in your mailbox.

Plus, no more rainchecks for that movie you really want to see. Most online rental services are always stocked and with a wide variety of movies.

Whether you are looking for a pick-me-up, a valuable lesson, or a great big scare, a movie rental can be the place to find it. You can choose from the latest releases, but dont overlook the classics. So dig that remote out of the couch cushion and get started watching. - 20763

Blue Jackets Blow Lead, Lose To Penguins In Shootout

By Ross Everett

The Columbus Blue Jackets learned a valuable lesson about NHL hockey on Friday night-it's dangerous to 'sit on a lead' and particularly against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Down 3-1, Pittsburgh tied the game late in the third period as Ruslan Fedotenko and Alex Goligoski each lit the lamp with less than three minutes remaining. After a scoreless overtime period, Sidney Crosby scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Penguins an improbable 4-3 victory. It was the 9th win in ten games for Pittsburgh, who are a perfect 6-0-0 on the road.

NHL hockey betting enthusiasts cashed wagers on the road underdog Penguins, but on the moneyline at +117 and the puckline. Pittsburgh has gotten off to a great start this year, going 11-2-0 in the first month of the season. Columbus is struggling to stay above .500 at 6-5-1. The 7 combined goals scored went OVER the posted total of 5'. The Blue Jackets have gone OVER in 7 of 12 games this season.

Crosby's game winning score in overtime wasn't exactly the stuff of highlight reels, with the puck barely trickling over the line:

"It was kind of a fluky. The puck kept going. I don't know if he lost it or he didn't know where it was or whatever. I just tried a quick shot. I thought he had the save there. It just trickled in."

Jackets' goalie Steve Mason gave this version of Crosby's shot:

"It hit my stick and I didn't get it settled until it was over the line. It just trickled over and I was too late on it."

Penguins' left winger Chris Kunitz scored a shorthanded goal and praised the leadership abilities of team captain Crosby:

"It shows a lot of character from our captain. He goes out and he's never quitting on anything. Sometimes a team goes packing, down by two with 3 minutes left. But he goes out, he's on the bench, he's saying, 'Let's get the next one.' So we go out there and he finds himself the puck and he gets it to Goligoski, he gets a great shot and puts it in the net to get us to overtime."

Columbus' Rick Nash suggested that his team is having trouble 'closing out' games:

"We're not closing games. We got the lead in a lot of the games already and just can't seem to close it out. They are the defending Stanley Cup champions. You can tell why they're such a good team. We are a team that needs to learn how to play with the lead."

Pittsburgh will host Minnesota on Saturday night before heading to southern California next week for games against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks. Columbus will play at Washington on Sunday before hosting the San Jose Sharks next Wednesday. That'll be followed by a game in Atlanta against the Thrashers the next night. - 20763

Falcons Start Fast, Beat Rams In NFL Preseason Action

By Ross Everett

The Atlanta Falcons are making a statement that they'll be a factor in the NFC. The Falcons starters behind QB Matt Ryan were almost flawless, and left the reserves with a 14-0 lead before eventually beating the St. Louis Rams 20-13 at the Edward Jones Dome on Friday night.

Running back Michael Turner was unstoppable in his limited playing time, churning out 65 yards in the Falcons opening drive. After the game, he confirmed that the Falcons offense had placed a priority on flawless execution:

"We wanted to come out and execute. They were preaching that all week and we wanted to show that on game day. We're way better than we were last year at this time."

Quarterback Matt Ryan was 7 of 8 for 81 yards and a touchdown pass before he called it a night. Tony Gonzalez caught Ryans TD pass and after the game was effusive in his praise for the young signal caller:

"He's a great quarterback. It's obvious he's figuring things out. He has a great arm, talent, and knows how to play with poise."

It was a disappointing home debut for new Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo, who saw his team blown away from the opening whistle before a half empty stadium:

"Just like I said to the team, we'd have liked to have started out a little better. You've got to come out and take it to them."

Rams safety O.J. Atogwe sounded a similar tone:

"This was a fabulous game for us. That's the reason you play the preseason. Going against a team like Atlanta, a top-caliber team, it allows us to reassess what we've been doing."

Falcons coach Mike Smith, meanwhile, was enthused about the improved play of his rushing defense:

"We were much improved against the run. It's something we have to continue to get better at. We still had some missteps."

The Falcons will continue NFL preseason play next Friday night as they host the San Diego Chargers at the Georgia Dome. The Rams will play the Bengals at Cincinnati next Thursday night. Atlanta will get the NFL regular season underway on Sunday, September 13th as they host the Miami Dolphins while the Rams will head to the Pacific Northwest for a game against the Seahawks in Seattle. - 20763

How Can Abundance And You Meet

By Giles Meredith

It has been a habit of people to look for means that will allow them to manifest abundance in their life. But the sad truth is that most of the time; people would lose the battle. In view of this, it is likely that you are now wondering whether it is still doable for abundance and you to meet like the way your aunt Hilda turned her self from rugs to riches.

Most of the time, people would think that money is something that one's person life would revolve on. Everyone is craving for that moment when they can reach financial freedom when the truth of the matter is that they are already surrounded with a lot of astonishing things. If people would just recognize how blessed they are then a big difference in life is most likely observed. Money is not the only factor which can mean abundance since there are other significant aspects to consider as well.

For sure, you may dream about that time when you become so rich that you will just have to push a button for your house help to come rushing to your side. Most of the time however, we live our lives just hoping and never actually achieve anything.

Abundance and you can meet. Abundance means a lot of things. Although most people would think that this is all about having a loaded bank account the truth of the matter is that there is also abundance in terms of opportunity, friendships, love, freedom, and a lot of other things.

So now, how will you be able to manifest abundance into your life? There is no secret formula for this because all you have to do is to become ready for its coming.

In order to be ready, there is a must for you to be prepared. There are individuals who are lost in this thought because they would think that it has something to do with sitting contentedly in a chair while seeing their bank account being loaded with money, as if their fairy godmother started to come for their rescue. The right thing is that for you to be prepared; you should exert all the effort that you can give as to reach what you want to see from life. This means that you should start working really hard for it.

It is wrong to dwell for example on that momentous monetary abundance of winning the lottery. Although this is an option, this is not the best thing to dwell on.

The same goes true in trying your luck with dating agencies. Even though it is theoretically promising, like the lottery, be reminded that just by simply submitting your picture together with your resume will never open up the gate for you to obtain abundance in love. Rather, what you will have are mere fleeting things that can be very disappointing in the end.

In order for abundance and you to meet, it will boil down to the need of having a firm foundation in the mind. You should look at the hay rather than focus yourself on the needle. This connote that you need to focus on those factors that you have rather than actually diverting your thoughts on those things that you are lacking. This is the trick that you must learn to acquire. - 20763

Clearing Your Chakras And Cleansing Your Life

By Jai Dahalli

In the modern world it is very important to keep on reinventing yourself to ensure that you can achieve desired success, equally important is to refresh the energy and desire in you so that you can push yourself to do your best.

It is not only the physical stature that matters but also the strength of your mind and the willingness in your soul that can lead to continuous development of your career and personal abilities. In every human being are present circles of energy known as chakras which have a great involvement in the determination of your personality. These chakras cab be said to be the links between your inner and outer self.

These points in your body help you to channelize your inner strengths into actual performance to help you attain the results you want. But even your inner strength can form rust if there is no regular development or timely refreshment and clearing chakras is a process that renovates your energies to bring out a new you.

It is important to recognize the components of our personality that are attached to each of the 7 chakras and work on them individually so that you do not lose out on any aspect.

While you are clearing the chakras you get away the negativity from the body and bring in positive energy, stabilizing it in the body.

Your body movements that are anticlockwise are said to be movements that help the removal of negative energy while clockwise movements bring in the positive vibes.

Due to the inflow and outflow of energy there can be pain experienced in various body parts but that is just a proof of occurrence and not a side effect.

The energy obtained by means of exchange in the process of chakra clearing is said to come from the planets and are used by man to channelize his efforts optimally.

Once your chakras are cleared you will find a newer self in front of you, while many practise this on a regular basis, the intervals do vary as per the need and intent of individuals.

You would see that after clearing chakras you would be able to develop a better ability to respond to various situations, also you would find yourself discovering newer thoughts and ideas, in fact people are able to see a newer side of their personality often after they have cleared and balanced their chakras.

The process of clearing chakras can start by paying attention to 1-2 of the circles of energy in your body and in the process try to get all your chakras cleared as only then you will be able to enjoy the advantage of your energies. People would be able to experience peace of mind as well as they tend to be relaxed.

In order to understand which chakra you need to clear you will not need to know rocket science but just feel the reactions of your body parts and then work on the chakra it relates to.

Todays competitive world demands a lot of agility and awareness and without the right approach and the correct balance of all your energies making your abilities count as performance would be quite difficult.

People have realised that inner energies play an important role in their lives, personal as well as professional, and also there is a conscious attempt made by people to understand and utilize its benefits.

The amount of satisfaction and accomplishments that the functioning chakras bring into your life is enormous, it is just the question of how effectively you practise it to achieve a refreshed source of energy. - 20763

Points To Know About Speed Reading Exercises

By John Laing

Speed reading exercises are meant to make the reader read faster while still retaining and understanding well enough what he reads. There are a few different ways about speed reading but the main object is to maintain a good compromise between going faster and understanding. Also to be noted; a good amount of practice is required.

Speed readers go about their thing in a variety of ways like not vocalizing all words, making out words without recognizing every letter in each word and quickly skimming through the text. Each reader will have methods that come more in a more instinctual way and they'll unveil themselves with practice and time. Overall, the goal is to get your eyes to move at a faster rate and recognize words quickly.

Skimming is the way a reader can search visually through a text for clues to what the meaning of the article might be. In general, skimming is not considered the most effective method for texts that are denser in information because it doesn't lead to a great comprehension. Oppositely, this method is effective to grasp the essential meaning of a text.

Another way to better reading speed is meta guiding and this method is very popular and widely taught. This method includes making the eyes follow a pointer in the form of a finger or pen along the following of text. This is a way to accelerate eye coordination and subduing subvocalization.

There is a basic speed reading exercise associated with this method that consists of pacing yourself with your finger and going through a text while accelerating the speed at which you'd normally read across a line. The reader should gradually accelerate the movement of the finger and force the eyes to distinguish words quickly and increase the speed at which one reads.

A second exercise one may want to try when attempting to learn speed reading skills is to skim over the text and search for key words relating to the meaning of each sentence. This pertains to block reading and can easily be replicated in other more complex exercises.

The third exercise demands some additional setup time and small cards are necessary. The cards themselves need to have a few words written on each of them; blocks, phrases or pieces of sentences. In practicality will be to read the words on the index cards instead of reading a full text. During a few minutes, the reader must flip the cards and try to recognize the words written on each card. This will work on recognizing words to try to accelerate the process of recognizing a block of words.

All speed reading exercises require a certain time investment in order to be effective. It is generally a good idea to be well rested to have the best possible level of concentration while doing these exercises. It will take time and effective practice before a reader can see results. It is possible to read really fast and still achieve a good retention and comprehension rate.

Speed reading is a great asset to have in the academic and professional world. It is rather easy to teach and learn and is absolutely free. A little patience and some determination are all that are needed along with the key speed reading exercises.

Visiting Tigers Shock Hurricanes In Overtime

By Ross Everett

The Clemson Tigers used a touchdown pass on their first possession of overtime to upset the Miami Hurricanes 40-37 on Saturday night to cap a back and forth game. Miami kicked a field goal on their first possession of overtime to take the lead, but Clemson responded with a seldom used play on third and 11 to get the victory as quarterback Kyle Parker completed a 27 yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford. Clemson improved to 4-3 with the win while Miami slipped to 5-2.

College football betting devotees who backed Clemson as +4 road underdogs eventually cashed their tickets, but they definitely earned their money in a game that saw twelve lead changes and two ties. Clemson improved to 5-2 against the spread with the cover, while Miami dropped to 4-3 against the money. The 77 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 43.

After the game, Jacoby Ford explained the logic for the surprise play:

"We knew this game was going to come down to who made more plays. And we did."

Miami has a history of winning when their offense is clicking-this loss was only the second in 115 games when the Hurricanes score 37 or more points dating back to'85.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was just glad this one is over:

"I have a birthday next month and I think I'm going to turn 50 instead of 40. We had to put on Superman capes. We made plenty of mistakes that could have lost us the game, but they played with poise and confidence. We just kept battling."

CJ Spiller was also a big factor for the Tigers as he set a school record with 310 all purpose yards including a 90 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He also added 81 yards rushing and 104 yards receiving with a 56 yard touchdown catch.

Clemson QB Parker suggested that last week's win over Wake Forrest was a turning point for his team:

"I think last week we realized that we could be really good and this week we acted on it. I thought we really got some explosive plays and we played well."

Miami's quarterback Jason Harris sounded a markedly different tone in his postgame comments:

"This has to be my toughest loss here. We fought so hard throughout the game as a team and didn't come out with the victory. We let Clemson outwork us, we turned the ball over too much -- little things that made us get to this point."

Clemson will host FCS foe Coastal Carolina next Saturday before resuming ACC play the following week at home against Florida State. They'll travel to North Carolina State on November--. Miami plays two of their next three on the road, starting next weekend at Wake Forest. - 20763

How To Choose A Perfect Tombstone For Your Loved One Can Depend On Several Factors

By Tom Tree

When planning a funeral there are many preparations and expensive for items such as the headstone for the cemetery. How to Choose a Perfect Monument for Your Loved One can be an overwhelming factor due to the style words and price.

The headstone will be available in many different styles and shapes but it is important to remember the material chosen will need to hold up to the element for hundreds of years. A marker can be customized to suit the loved one or the cemetery may place restrictions on the style.

Cemeteries vary on the regulations for headstones for example, some cemeteries will not allow a headstone that stands above the ground and will only allow a plaque made from metal or stone to be placed for the marking. There are also some cemeteries that will allow a raised monument; however, they have a height limit so it is important to find out what is permitted before ordering.

When choosing the standing headstones the material should be either marble or granite in order for them to tolerate the changes in weather. This type of stone can be made in various shapes and sizes as well as customized with various words or accessories.

A headstone is the marker as well as the way to pay a tribute to the loved one. Choosing what to have engraved may prove difficult for some as the additional words should have meaning to the deceased and their loved ones as well as their name, birth dates and the date of death. Some choose to have a small picture frame on the front or a poem that has special meaning to the deceased.

How to Choose a Perfect Monument for Your Loved One is a difficult time both with expense and choice of stone. Grief is extremely difficult and the funeral planning process can feel overwhelming, so many loved ones wait a few weeks before making the decision on a headstone. This is perfectly acceptable as it gives loved ones time to decide on the most meaningful words to add to the monument. It is also understandable to shop around for a monument that is within the budget, yet will be the perfect choice for the deceased and loved ones. - 20763

So if you are really interested to have a better viewing habit, then it is much recommended that you use this internet TV software. - 20763

Extrasensory Perception - Can This Phenomena Be Manipulated?

By Amil Kahn

Many still today are debating the reality of extrasensory perception. Extrasensory perception is misinterpreted as some people do not understand it. Many just dismiss it without doing any research for themselves, blindly adhering to the 'scientific' or 'religious' views. With extrasensory perception, all that really happens is that the deep subconscious relays unconscious information.

It is understandable that extrasensory perception is difficult to accept if one has not recognized the experience for themselves. Although this is a totally natural experience that all people have some or other time especially when they state clearly that they have a hunch about going there or their sixth sense tells them not to trust someone etc. This is definitely not mind control as well as the mind is not been controlled by a second party.

Scientists have stated that extrasensory perception is outside the realms of science as well as parapsychologists and wanted hard core evidence by using the ganzfeld methods in hope that they would gain factual evidence of ESP existing. And again due to lack of circumstantial theoretical evidence scientists were still apprehensive and would not accept this as true.

Since antiquity extrasensory perception has been noted in ancient cultures up to modern day, and those that had such "powers" where termed as having second sight, hence thousands were persecuted and burned on the stake and termed as witches. In many tribal cultures the medicine people communicated with ancestors and spirits alike.

Much later did scientists as well as many other professionals begin to devise solid techniques such as designing cards that has significant symbols like squares, circles, stars, waves, crosses and circle patterns on then and made up a pack of twenty five cards called Zener Cards?

The test ran as follows whereby the psychologist or researcher would look as say 4 cards, and the person being tested would in turn tell the researcher what cards they had in their hand. The cards were shuffled by hand as well as a machine to make sure there was no specified order in which the cards were laid out. Later a dice was also used, and both methods proved better than chance. Eventually after many years of research extrasensory perception became accepted. This then led scientists to start investigating into the unconscious mental processes which would eventually lead them to understanding the human personality.

It was later found that people who were aware of extrasensory perception on taking the card or dice test scored highly as opposed to those who were sceptical. And this was defined as follows - believers (sheep) and sceptics (goats) hence this is now known by professionals as the sheep-goat effect. Professionals then went even further and started including meditation, and the REM sleep procedures which later proved even more effective.

Parapsychologists have accepted extrasensory perceptions as normal and have also divided ESP phenomena into sub categories like clairvoyant, telekinesis, telepathy and many more. It was also well documented during their studies as well accepted that extrasensory perception cannot be controlled nor can an episode be replicated proving that ESP is a totally natural and spontaneous occurrence. - 20763

Experience A New Life When You Develop Abundance

By David Elsey

To have abundance in life does not necessarily mean you have to be wealthy. You can experience abundance even if you do not have everything in this world. Being happy and satisfied in life is enough reason to say that you are living in abundance. In developing abundance, you have to reflect on your inner being and change your approach in life. This will help you attract success and experience abundance. Developing abundance is indeed a great challenge but you will reap the rewards once you succeed.

Everyone in this world has his own way of life but you can tell if someone lacks abundance when he is not satisfied in the way he lives his life. It does not mean that he is poor or that he has no material possessions. Even the rich people show lack of abundance because abundance in life does not depend on the material things. What can make people live an abundant life are not the riches and earthly possessions but the emotional satisfaction as well. You can only experience true happiness and satisfaction if you have a healthy and warm relationship with other people around you.

Therefore, to develop abundance, one should be aware that life itself can be as abundant and positive when you begin to think of it this way. You might be having some negative approaches and beliefs in life that hinders abundance to fill you. Perhaps it?s about time to change the way you think and feel because thinking right, feeling right, and doing right is what will make you satisfied in life and eventually attracts abundance.

Everyone lives in an abundant universe but not everyone experiences that abundance equally. One of the most important steps in the process of developing abundance is to open up the channels for receiving it. Unresolved issues can block the flow of good into people's lives. Unforgiveness, anxiety, guilt, shame, anger, and other negative attitudes and emotions can actually blind people to the good available to them and even repel positive experiences.

Anyone who is serious about developing abundance also needs to be serious about facing and overcoming their personal demons. An unfortunate truth is that victims in this world often continue to be victimised. The reason for this is that when people experience negative events or trauma, they also experience a range of feelings and develop beliefs about themselves that can cause them to get stuck in a cycle. This is why the ability to forgive and let go of past pain and grievances is essential to living a truly abundant life.

Developing abundance, then cannot be separated from self development. The first step on the journey to abundance is to take an honest look at one's life now, evaluating beliefs and noting repetitive thoughts. Once this is honestly assessed, a person is in the position to set personal development and healing goals that will enhance their ability to experience an abundant life.

Making mental and emotional changes is easier said than done but these days there are many tools that can be used to help people. From cognitive behaviour therapy to energy therapies such as EFT and applied kinesiology, there are ways to assist individuals make the changes they desire. The key to developing abundance from the inside out is to be willing to do whatever it takes and to be persistent.

All these factors show that developing abundance is not only a matter of inner changes. You also have to let your outer being to coordinate with your inner self when it comes to self development. Set your goals and act out your plans. You have to do actions and not just lay your plans down if you want to improve your life abundance.

Developing abundance needs planning and actions. But you have to make your actions go in harmony with your beliefs and principles. You can achieve an abundant life with true satisfaction and happiness if you know that you are living in harmony with other people, with yourself, and with your environment. How you look at life will always be a major factor in developing abundance.

It is really worth developing abundance in life. When you start to open up yourself to others, you will eventually understand the importance of life and become happy with it. Making other people happy will also make you happy and satisfied as a person and eventually experience abundance in life. - 20763

Office Interiors Don't Have To Be Staid

By Craig Johnstone

Are you embarking on a new business venture that needs some excitement and kick? Or are you looking for easy ways to recreate an old office space in order to reflect an updated attitude? Office interiors are a good place to start designing an image, and good ones benefit employees and customers both.

It must be admitted, this is sad but true, that some businesses just seem to want to boor us all silly with apathy and ennui. Of course, in this modern age of speed and excitement and change around every corner this can never be a sound decision. It seems that most boring places fell into that state by accident.

If you and your employees are feeling trapped in a miasma of dull and lifeless corridors, it is a good time to inject some new life into the same old scene. For starters, think about redesigning the box, as in stepping out of the box. This is always a good practice in your thinking, and can be a surprisingly good approach to layouts. Give the people some open spaces to work and play in.

How about hosting arrangements? Where and on what are your colleagues and customers lounging? Are they comfortable enough to stay for that extra pitch or to work on a problem? Or does you furniture scream at their bodies to take flight? Creating relaxing and easy-going areas shows concern, and it removes that dental appointment feeling that so many dread. While you are at it, splash some color around a bit.

Now, if you are an edgy company and want to stir up some emotions, then go all the way. Use hard lights and vibrant colors to wake up the senses. If you want to look like you are on the go, put some racing stripes down the hallways. Do something extreme to pump up the volume in your place! Black and chrome always look speedy.

Lighting, as mentioned, is a powerful emotion building source. More importantly is the light that you will be working under. Poor lighting makes for poor output and will create poor employee attitudes. This is proven by science, as are the ways to eliminate these problems. The answer is in the sun. Use the actual sun, or recreate it with proper bulbs, but do this simple thing for the mental well being of your office denizens.

Using select color can improve a space dramatically. Color affects moods ranging from the usual happy and sad types, to the ready to buy compulsively and spend a lot of money types. Colors color our world, to borrow an old phrase. Discover which ones best reflect your business world and ways of doing things, and let the subliminal messages sing.

Finally, the bottom line may well rest on your bottoms. Seriously, the chairs you sit on can mean the difference between production and the need for security protection. When forced to captain a seat for large portions of the day, that seat should be of the highest quality. When designing office interiors, remember the posteriors. - 20763

Let Your Day Come Alive Through Hiring Wedding Bands

By James Tracy

Good news for couples! There are a lot of options which you can do to have a good memorable wedding. The bad news is that almost all of them will ask you to shell out a big amount of cash so if you are in a budget, consider yourself jinxed. But there are actually wise individuals who are aware that they can actually perk up the quality of the celebration without the need to spend a lot and among those options is hiring wedding bands.

Some people would think that bands are not a necessity, they may be right. But consider the fact that they are there not just to give music for the event, but they will set the right atmosphere for the occasion to ensure fun and excitement during the big day.

It is up to you to hire a band which will merely plays background music because this will tender your guests the chance to socialize with each other or you can also get one that will become the center of attraction because they will liven up your wedding through wonderful time of dance and party music.

To choose good wedding bands, you may want them to play good quality sounds of those songs coming from the 1950s and up to the present. This way, you will ensure that they are talented enough to go with your guests' request during the event itself. Remember that your goal here is to save on your cash hence you will want to avoid the possibility of hiring two or three bands to play for you.

Most bands have a set song list but are usually happy to learn one or two new songs that the bride and groom may request as long as you give them sufficient notice. This is something that needs to be discussed with the band when you first book them.

Once you see yourself working on the process of searching for the perfect wedding bands that you can find to perk up your event, it is wise not to skimp on cost. After all, you won't like to make a mistake because this can mean having your big day end up in a big flop. As a rule, go for those bands that have a good reputation, even though they would cost a little more. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

You will find that hiring a local bar or pub band will be cheaper than hiring professional wedding bands. However it really is essential that you get an experienced band as they are aware of what to expect and the right manner by which they can handle wedding crowds which are normally different from those that found in pubs or bars.

Also, it is needed for you to be prepared and go for that band which is professional enough to possess a deputy musicians lined up for unfortunate cases wherein one of two of the band member simply can't join the event. Because of this, you must inquire with the band about their plans if ever a bad thing or two happened. Talk to them about this personally. - 20763

Using Live Music For Those Special Occasions

By Beatrice Heaver

There's no better way to create an excellent atmosphere at a party than by using live music. You always want to create special memories and a comfortable atmosphere for your guest. That comfortable ambiance and personal touch in a personal environment is what live music is about.

Where the ambiance and theme of a special occasion is definitely of the utmost importance is at weddings. This is a time for passion and intimacy, and the music has to reflect this by being endearing to all and personal. This after all, will create a lifelong memory. What creates special memories, is special occasions. The band is often remembered most fondly. What song they were playing, a dance to a special song with someone special, or friends getting behind the microphone on stage.

Adding flair and sophistication, a personal touch, or a unique aspect to any occasion can be a very daunting task. Live performers can simplify this for you, whether it's an instrumental group in the corner or lively rockers on a stage, you can busy yourself with the more important things while they go about the business of providing a backdrop for the occasion.

Music on it's own can transform an ordinary occasion into an extraordinary one. It's a talking point, a party feature, a comfortable background to the usual party chatter and mingling. It's a tool to set people at ease and give them some common ground.

Generating the right mood for the occasion is critical and by using the right genre of music, you can can change and vary the mood. Lively, upbeat tunes when the party starts, to easy listening relaxed tunes when the party draws to a close. Rock, R&B, classics or easy listening, all can be paced to the pulse of the party.

When playing to a crowd, versatility is very important. Thumping radio tunes out over a loudspeaker is not something everyone wants. A varied routine that suites them is what party goers want. Reading the crowd is important and helps to keep the party going, and fortunately, what suites one guest will also suite other guests.

As always, there will always be those who would like a classic played, or a special request. Bands always add a fresh twist to classics and can liven up any old favorite. Sometimes something unique and original to listen to is just what the doctor ordered, something without any associations, something new but still personal.

Going with an instrumental band or group can put your event into a class of its own, allowing you to go unplugged and creating an even more personal and intimate ambiance to a special occasion. This can be especially useful for outdoor events where the wiring and gadgetry can detract from an otherwise perfect setting.

Choosing a live band for your special occasions is a good idea for many reasons. Live music has a more personal feel to it than recorded music, is more versatile, and the routine can be varied to suite the crowd. By automatically adapting to the mood of the crowd, a band will help to keep the party going. You can have them all instrumental or singing, in the background or as a main feature singing, dancing and pumping the crowd. You can even dress them up. - 20763

Exploring Your Mindpower

By Brian Parry

It is a well known fact that most humans use only about 10% of their potential mind power. It's something staggering to think about; how high must our potential be if we only use this small fraction of our minds! What could you accomplish if you were able to use 100% of your mind?

The scientific opinion has long been that those who have psychic abilities and extra sensory perception are able to use these abilities by tapping into those great unused mental reserves. Some seem to have been born with these abilities, while others learn later on in life how to start using this potential mind power.

We're not sure yet how it works, but there is ongoing research into how our own mindpower can influence the world we live in.

Some studies even point towards the ability of our own minds to change reality. Our minds may be molded by the world less that they mold it, it seems.

And with films such as 'The Secret' which explains the theory of the law of attraction, people are realizing that by changing the way they see things and by using their mindpower, they can attract abundance and anything they want into their life.

In case you have not come across it before, the law of attraction concerns the whole universe and states that there is a cause and effect for everything we do. So whatever you think about you will get! You must however communicate with your subconscious mind to tell it what you want; otherwise it presumes you want everything to stay as it is. Scientifically this is known as a state of homeostasis.

The subconscious mind appears to be out means of communicating with the universe and channeling universal energy as well as being the source of psychic abilities like telepathy.

Since the way to develop your mind power is to connect your conscious and subconscious minds, you're probably wondering how you can achieve this link. There are several different ways to do this.

Affirmations:- Most people know about the simple process of affirmations. By repeating a positive phrase, to yourself several times a day your subconscious mind eventually gets the message!

If you needed to boost your self esteem, you may tell yourself things like 'I am confident and well liked'. If you want to break a habit, you can use affirmations like 'I only eat healthy foods'.

When repeated, affirmations reach the subconscious and start producing the desired result.

If you follow this logic, its possible to change more than your behavior; you can change the world itself by using affirmations to tap into your mindpower.

Visualization:- Visualization is another effective method of developing mindpower. You just need to close your eyes and start to see the results you want to achieve. Your subconscious mind will pick up on these images and begin to start making them a reality. Whatever you want, you can visualize it and your subconscious can begin to set events in motion to make it happen. Anything you focus your visualizations on will become a reality.

You can even visualize yourself using some of your other latent mental abilities. For example, visualize yourself communication with someone else telepathically or being able to use remote viewing. Using your mindpower in this way will help these natural psychic abilities to develop.

Hypnosis:- Hypnosis is a very effective means of boosting mindpower through communicating with the subconscious. You can work with a professional hypnotherapist who will place you into a state of deep relaxation and then supply suggestions to your subconscious mind which it will begin to work on once you wake up from your trance.

You don't necessarily have to go to a professional hypnotist either. You can use the technique of self hypnosis, listening to a hypnotherapy session which has been recorded. This is far cheaper than going to a hypnotist yourself and of course, you can use this recording anytime you like.

Brainwave entrainment:- This is an audio technology which uses specially recorded frequencies to synchronize your brainwaves to improve memory, alleviate pain or any number of other beneficial effects.

Some frequencies attune your mind to the trance state where it becomes easy to speak directly to the subconscious and thus increase mindpower.

You can also listen to frequencies which are designed to build mindpower by stimulating the chakras " the energy centers located throughout the human body. The 'third eye' chakra located in the forehead is especially important, since this is the chakra which is responsible for psychic powers.

In fact you do not even really 'develop' these powers. They are inside you already. It is thought that humans many thousands of years ago had this enhanced mindpower, but it became repressed and locked deep inside the mind.

In fact, when we speak of developing mindpower, it might be more accurate to talk about unleashing these powers which lie inside all of us and allowing us to use our full mental potential. - 20763

The Processes Used By Carpet Cleaners

By Darren Ackers

Carpets today are manufactured from various fibres and materials, either from natural like wool or man made such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene. The backings can also vary, in most domestic properties the backing tends to be tufted and in expensive houses they tend to be woven such a Wilton carpet.

Backings of carpets are extremely important to understand if you are looking to get your carpet cleaned. Nowadays it's very easy and cost effective to hire carpet cleaning machines like a Rug Doctor, but if you have no knowledge about carpet backings you could quite easily ruin your carpet.

The most common backings are tufted, it's safe to say that this backing is reasonably safe to clean using water providing you don't flood the carpet. The backing to watch out for a woven carpet, the carpet fibres are weaved and a thin thread is woven through the carpet fibres.

This is disastrous, your carpet will shrink and then maybe useless and will need removing. By having your carpets cleaned by a professional who of course must know what he/ she is doing then you should be fine.

The professional carpet cleaner will have the ability to carry out a survey and ascertain the fibre materials and what backing is used. During the survey they will also test the carpet to ensure a suitable chemical is used which will not discolour the carpet, in the trade this is a bleed test.

Choosing a knowledgeable carpet cleaner can be quite hard without any experience cleaning carpet. Carpet Cleaning Surrey have provided some advice below.

Ask them how they will carry out a survey on your carpet. Ask them how they can test to see if the carpet is a natural or man made fibre. Get them to show you the backing of the carpet and explain the type of backing you have. Ask them about the process. The only acceptable process is a slow thorough vacuum, a pre spray is sprayed over the carpet to loosen soil particles. If the pre spray is a micro splitter it normally doesn't need any dwell times, a non micro splitter will need 10-20 minutes dwell time to be effective. The pre spray must be agitated by brush or by machine.

If the cleaner uses a Sebo Duo to agitate, chances are he/ she knows their stuff. Next is hot water extraction HWE, known as steam cleaning. Finally the carpet pile is reset using a carpet brush. Although sometimes following extraction the carpet can look quite nice and doesn't need a carpet brush, if done right the carpet cleaningwand used for HWE can leave nice patterns. - 20763

A Complete Guide To Lucid Dreams

By Gary Scraysbrook

Dreams that you have where you know they are dreams and control the final outcomes of the dream are called lucid dreams. These are the type of dreams where you pick the subject or the person they are about and make the dream come out the way you want yet you feel like you are fully awake, similar to day dreaming.

Lucid dreams can be anything. From a sci-fi fantasy to an adventure or a fairy tale romance, you can dream about anything. Unlike real life, lucid dreams have unlimited possibilities. All you need is imagination.

The advantage of lucid dreams over normal dreams is obvious; you control them! They can be so vividly real that you may even have to do checks to be sure that you are really dreaming and not awake.

In a dream, certain things will not seem right, like reading words, or colors may not be pronounced. There are simple tests many people do to see if they are really are having a lucid dream or are in a state like sleep walking, for example.

Someone you want to be with may be impossible in real life, but in a lucid dream, you where anything is possible, you can be sitting and talking with a loved one that has passed or a guy you saw at the subway station.

In a lucid dream, you can change the outcome if you don't like how the dream is heading. If you imagine you are with your loved one that has passed, you might dream that they are still alive because you were able to get to them to warn them of their upcoming demise, for example. Controlling your dream for the desired outcome is part of lucid dreaming.

Because your body has a biological need to sleep, your mind can remain in a semi-conscious state while your body is resting, which is what makes lucid dreams physically possible.

It can take awhile to learn the techniques of lucid dreaming if you have never done it, but it can be learned over a period of time with practice.

You can begin by doing some dream recall everyday. Each day try to recall the dreams that you had in the night. You need to remember them to the last possible detail. It's a great idea to keep some paper and pen handy to record your dreams. In the beginning you may not recall all the details. That's not a problem. However, with constant practice, you will find dreams repeating themselves. This will enable you to completely record your dream. Make this a habit and soon you will have all your dreams recorded and can refer to them when you want.

If you are a writer this information is invaluable. You may have your next novel lined up. In a lucid dream you create the scenes and actions. The dream ends the way you want it to. Lucid dreaming is a time to pacify our inner ambitions and desires and plan their execution in reality.

Try to recall everything you can about your dream, go back to sleep and, if you can, return to where you were before you woke up and you will continue to dream. The dream will occur more than once, so you will have the opportunity to recall more each time it does occur. Recalling more each time you try.

If you wake before your normal time, let's say you have a couple of hours to go; this is the easiest time for lucid dreaming. It may seem like you have been awake and thinking all the time, but you have actually been lucid dreaming.

Techniques, such as self-hypnosis can sometimes help you to recall vividly your lucid dreams, but many people find recalling lucid dreams easy to do.

You can sometimes put your mind into the mode of lucid dreaming using other techniques, such as binaural beats, which are a recent development in sound technology. By using sound waves to put parts of the brain responsible for lucid dreaming to work to instantly put you into the lucid dream condition and help you recall lucid dreams. - 20763

Step To Follow For Rental Car Accidents

By Jason Hall

Although we always hope that we remain accident free, especially while driving a rental car, there are a few things we should always keep in mind. Even if you never want to use the information that I am giving to you today, it is important to read through it so that you know what to do, before and after the accident takes place.

To start make sure that you are insured when renting your vehicle. While your credit card company and your car insurance policy may cover any issues that may arise, it is good to find out this information in advance. Then, it is always a wise investment to take the additional insurance offered to you by the car rental agency. Usually you can do this for as little as $10 per day, but it can really help make the process a much smoother one.

As soon as the accident occurs, call the police first to file an incident report. You should do this from where ever you are at the time of the accident and try to leave the vehicle in the position it was in when it was hit. Then call the rental car agency and report the accident. Do not admit any liability for the accident to the car rental company and do not offer to pay or settle the incident without the consent of the company themselves.

All relevant information should be copied and handed to the rental company. Repair receipts, police reports and all other documents that you have collected, due to the accident, need to be handed over. You will also want to keep an open communication with the rental company and provide them with any information that they may require in order to settle their claim.

If you are relying on your personal insurance policy for insurance, or your credit card company then you need to contact both of these companies as well at the time of the accident as well as any further information or paperwork you receive regarding this matter. Then be sure to follow up with all companies involved often so that you are not surprised to be hit with a bill that they have never paid. It is important since still the ultimate liability lies with you. - 20763

Walking A Friend Through The Grief Process

By Chad G. Wiley

If a friend of yours is grieving it causes you pain as well. Helping a friend cope with grief isn't the easiest thing to do, but you can learn the right way to do it. First, how do you learn to recognize the signs that your friend is grieving? Grief is the human response to loss. It can be the loss of a loved one, of a home or of a job.

You should first realize the grieving process is a normal process we must go through when we suffer a loss. Don't try to rush your friend through it. We each need to go through each step until we are ready to go on to the next. It doesn't help a grieving friend to try to cheer them up right away. The normal process helps them to finally accept the loss.

The best thing you can do when helping a friend cope with grief is to understand the process. The grieving process can take months or it can take years. Each of us has our own time span for this process and each step does not necessarily happen in order. A person can feel the stages of grief in any order they come in. Remember it is important to go through each step. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance are the main stages of grief.

Listening and spending time with your grieving friend is one way you can help them through this difficult process. It is usually the little things we do that can help the most. People want to talk about their loss so listen to them. Let them know how they are feeling is normal and okay. Be patient with someone who has feelings of grief. Try to take a walk or go somewhere your friend enjoys going. Help your friend see that not everything has changed. Slowly but surely you will hear some laughter in a voice or a twinkle in an eye that wasn't there yesterday.

It is a difficult journey you are on while you are helping a friend cope with grief. It is also a rewarding journey and reveals what a wonderful and understanding friend you are. People need our help and support when they are going through difficult times. And it is very helpful when friends stick by them through the entire process. Having family and friends with you when times get rough help a person realize they are loved and will have the support they need to move on. - 20763

Kitchen Renovation And Feng Shui

By Grace Miller

Kitchen in the world of Feng Shui epitomizes sustenance and wealth. How you arrange things in your kitchen can greatly affect your health and your wealth. In this article we will talk about the different Feng Shui tips that you can apply whether you are just about to design your kitchen or if you are about to perform renovation.

1. Kitchen Position. When applying Feng Shui in your kitchen, the first thing you need to think about is the placement of the kitchen. Ideally, the optimal location for the kitchen is a space that you don't see when you come into the house, this would of course be the back of your house.

A sight of the kitchen upon getting into the house would make your life revolve around food which most often than not can lead to eating problems.

If you already have your kitchen situated near the entrance of your house, you can implement certain renovation and designing techniques that would divert the attention of any person coming into your house away from your kitchen. A good idea would be to hang curtains that would hide your kitchen.

2. Kitchen layout. You should design the layout in such a way that the cook can distinctly see the doorway. Feng Shui consultants also advises that it is good to have a something reflective in the kitchen. So utensils that are stainless are the way to go. It is also advisable to add mirrors behind the burner, as Chinese believe that by adding a reflective burner, you are in away doubling your wealth.

3. Kitchen Lighting. Incandescent bulbs or halogen lights are the most recommended for kitchen. A well lighted kitchen is good for Feng Shui. Lights must be located such that no shadows are casted while preparing and cooking food.

4. Kitchen appliances and utensils. There must be a grouping among the appliances and utensils in the kitchen. You need to separate fire elements from water elements. - 20763

Advanced Cosmic Ordering And Celebrities

By Khristy-Belle Strand

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

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

Suppose for a moment that you had access to a cosmic ordering service and if you wanted something, all you had to do was think of it and it would appear before you. That would be amazing, wouldn't it? The incredible thing is that every one of us can already do this - but most of us, even with limitless options continue to choose the same thing over and over again.

Look at life as a menu containing every possible food - but you just look at one line of that menu and keep ordering the bread every time! Maybe you just haven't bothered to investigate the possibilities; or you feel like you only deserve what you already have.

Now picture yourself with limitless wealth. You can do everything you've ever wanted. You spend 11 months of the year traveling in your private jet. Life is like an unending vacation.

You wear the most expensive clothing and look absolutely marvellous. If you can picture this in your mind and hold it for a few minutes, you're partially on your way. It is difficult to get a good picture of yourself in those circumstances if you're like most people. For the majority of people, cosmic ordering seems beyond their reach. So what exactly is advanced cosmic ordering?

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

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

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

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

Your brain emits energy which is capable of affecting the smallest particle known to man - the quark. When a quark leaps from one level to another, it is called a quantum leap. When this change happens, the quark changes the properties of the atom containing it. Just think - if your mind can influence this change, than you can accomplish anything!

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

With the right instruction and practice, you can get anything you want from the cosmic ordering system. The ancients knew it existed, every religion emphasizes belief to make prayers come true, and yet in this enlightened world, most people listen to neither science nor religion for the answer but continue blindly down the path of poverty.

Training your mind to order the best for yourself is the right thing to do but you need help to clear away years of negative and poverty thinking. There are many aids today to speed the process and help you eliminate the failure pattern of the past and make room for the success of today.

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

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

Advanced cosmic ordering can work for you. Once you master the techniques, everything you want will begin coming your way - but you'll have to work at it too. - 20763

The Incredible World Of Lucid Dreams

By Paul Benson

You may not know about lucid dreams yet, but they are real and are an amazing experience. A lucid dream is a dream where you are conscious of the fact that you are dreaming; and best of all, you're in total control of your dream! You can take the reins and take your dream anywhere that you want to go.

It's like having your own movie studio with an unlimited budget - anything you want to see or experience is within your power to make happen.

Unlike the dreams you normally have while you sleep, lucid dreams do not simply drift along on their own course. Dreaming is usually your brain's way of thinking out the events of the previous day and there's not much you can do to predict or change their course. Lucid dreams are very different in that your conscious mind is in control of the experience and these dreams seem entirely real, no matter what you decide to make happen.

One way to tell the difference between a regular dream and a lucid dream is to try picking up a book or newspaper in your dream. If you can read the words there and make sense of them, then this is almost certainly a lucid dream. In most dreams, you'd be unable to read the words on the page; they will either keep changing or be impossible to read at all.

Lucid dreams allow you to make any fantasy come true or live out the experiences you've always wanted to have. You can interact with anyone you've ever wanted to meet or see anything in the entire universe.

Another thing which differentiates a lucid dream from ordinary ones is that if you want to change the outcome of an event in your dream, all you have to do is to think about it and it will happen! A lot of people find that lucid dreaming is beneficial to them in that they can think through things which have happened in their lives and think about the other ways the situation could have gone. This can help you come to terms with tragedy and misfortune.

Anyone can learn to have lucid dreams. Your body needs to rest of course so that you can awake refreshed and energetic enough to take on the tasks of the day; but while your body is at rest, your mind can stay partially active and engage in lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is a skill which needs to be learned through practice. Developing the ability to lucid dream at will takes time and you will need to be patient; but anyone can have lucid dreams.

The best way to begin is by keeping a dream journal. Write down everything you can remember from your dreams as soon as you awake. Keep a pad and pen within arm's length of your bed so that you can write down every detail quickly. You may not remember everything every time - be patient. You will get better at this with time and training your mind to remember your dreams and recognize when it is dreaming will help you to start having lucid dreams.

There are some useful applications to lucid dreaming. Writers find that trying out their ideas in lucid dreams helps them to figure out characters, dialogue and plots for their work. It's a great medium for creative efforts.

Making a habit of recalling your dreams will help you to pick the thread of your dreams back up when you return to sleep. Dreams tend to recur, so you can pick up more and more detail with each recurrence.

Lucid dreaming happens most readily in the hour or two before you are accustomed to waking up. When you wake early and go back to bed at these times, you often lucid dream; it seems as if you've just been thinking as you lie in bed, but once the alarm goes off, you know that you've been dreaming!

To get yourself to the mental state where lucid dreaming is possible, you can use relaxation and meditation techniques along with dream recall. A lot of people find that self hypnosis can help them train their minds for dream recall quickly and efficiently.

There is also a new audio technology which can help you to prepare: binaural beats. These are frequencies which help the hemispheres of your brain synchronize their brainwaves, putting you into the state of mind in which lucid dreaming comes naturally. - 20763
