Actually it is very simple to get what you want.

Wait before you say, ‘I have read it all, it did not work for me’.

I was just like you, read it, tried to follow it and duly rejected it. Can’t blame-right?

Years passed. Failures and frustrations only followed. At last, when I read about ‘how to get what you want’ in a book which explained it in a simple terms, I regretted all the valuable time I lost.

This book told me only one thing to do-‘Take the focus away from your present lack, be it health, wealth or relationship’.

Just by taking your focus away from your persistent thoughts on things which you don’t have, you create space for those things to move in, hitherto blocked by your thoughts.

As simple as that but believe me, it is very effective and I can show several examples that happened in my life in the past eight months.

There are so many Americans who are great fans of the interactive game show ‘american idol’.

If you happen to read the success stories of every season winner, you will find about their struggle and hard work in their early days. They would have firmly believed that they have in them the required talent to compete and win every other contest.

But success and fame was possible for them only after dedication and practice. Somewhere along their route, they would have unconsciously practiced what I said about focus.

How many times we all wished to meet the other fans of a TV show ‘american idol’ to know about their opinions on the program and its artists?

I happened to interact with hundreds of fans of Lindsey Cardinale and Constantine Maroulis of whom I am an ardent admirer.

When you are exposed to different views and criticism on past winners and present contestants, you learn so many new things.

For example, in this forum, there is a thread on Taylor Hicks which attracted 65k views. In my 8 years of internet experience, I have never come across such a wide participation.

Tomorrow I am going to write about the genius in you.

The foolproof technique for cordial relationship.

We might have analyzed why a relationship which we treated as pleasant has gone the wrong way.

Invariably we ended up blaming the other party for his/her short comings.

Now listen to the wisdom of Eckhart Tolle in his book ‘The Power of Now’.

“When listening to another person, don’t just listen with your mind, listen with your whole body. This takes your attention away from your thinking and creates a still space that enables you to truly listen without the mind interfering”

“You are giving the other person space-space to be”

How very well said-is it not?
The most precious gift you can give to anybody can be this alone.
If you digest this idea, many things will get cleared up and we will be able to restore the relationship without much effort.

For me, this is an eye opener. I am passing it on to you. If this makes sense to you, please practice it and also pass it on.

This blog post is sponsored by verizon ringtones, who, through their website offers wonderful ringtones like AT&T Ringtones, Sprint Ringtones, Nextel Ringtones.

Have you heard about mosquito ringtone?
This is very new ringtone made exclusively for teenage kids.
It is an unobtrusive ringtone which they only can hear when they are in their school. Very convenient-right?

No more dull stereo type ring tones for our mobile phones.
We now have a very wide choice of musical ringtones replacing the standard ring tone.

Do you know that Verizon Wireless was the first to introduce this novel concept in the U.S.?

To allure the buyers, cell phone service providers are encouraging teenagers to compose their own musical ringtones. Yes, my son accomplished this quite effortlessly.

Different methods to download:

We can download the ringtones directly from the web if our mobile phone is web enabled.

If we do not have mobile phones that do have that feature, we can download the ringtones from the web to our pc and onto cell phone via bluetooth.

The latest technology is just to send one SMS to the service providers giving the code number of the rigntone (this can be retrieved from their web) and wait for them to load into our phone without any physical contact at all.

Look at this fantastic facility:
Now we can assign different ringtones separately to different telephone numbers in our phone book. So when you hear a particular ringtone, you will know who is calling before you look at the screen for caller ID.

For latest and innovative ringtones, bookmark verizon ringtones and share it with your friends and relatives.

One more encounter with quantum physics.

Just to prove how we create our own destiny by our thoughts;

I wanted to read more about quantum physics and within a few hours I was reading another article in the same blog mentioned in my previous post.

I am reproducing it here fully with full credits to its author from Singapore.

"Philosophy lies in your judgment. Or freedom of it.

My friends have been finding me philosophical lately so i think i should just share the some of the things that have been kinda influencing my paradigm of this world. Writing it out can also help me grasp it better.

I've been listening to a lot of Deepak Chopra, and i wish i could write out all the things, but its just so much that i can't really write everything out. I'm also listening to another great man, Wayne Dyer right now, and something just grabbed me. I'm going to quote him word for word.

"When you judge another human being, understand that you do not define them. They're already defined. You define yourself. Your judgement is a definition of you. That's your need to put someone else in a seperate place other than you. You define yourself everytime you judge somebody else. They're just who they are, on their own path. If you could only have love inside of you because thats all you think, and thats all you have to give away with no conditions attached to it, then you'll love those who are different, and even those who wanna do you harm."

We're all guilty of judgment aren't we. I know i am. Judgment is everywhere, its taught, shared and endorsed as if its a virtue. I want to keep these words by Wayne in mind the next time io feel a need to label someone. The stuff that i'm been learning from Deepak and Wayne is phenomenal.

Wayne actually quoted Albert Einstein,

"A human being, is a part of a whole called by us, the universe. A part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something seperated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciuosness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires, and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task, must be free ourselves, from this prison, by wideing our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. You'll see it, when you believe it."

Note how he said you see when you believe and not the other way around, which we always hear.Now Deepak, talks about Quantum Physics. Here goes. I'll quote him.

"According to Quantum Field Theorists, all materials things, whther they are automobiles or human bodies or dollar bills, are made up of atoms. These atoms, are made up of sub-atomoic particles. Which in turn, are fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void of energy and information. Without going into details, the basic conclusion of Quantum Field theorists, is that the basic raw material of the world, is that it is non-material. That the essential stuff of the universe, is that it is non-stuff.

All of our technology is based on this fact. This is the climactic overthrow of the superstition of materialsm today. Fax machines, computers, T.Vs, radios, all these technologies are possible because Scientists no longer believe that the atom, which is the basic unit of matter, is a solid entity.

An atom is not a solid entity at all. It is the hierarchy of states of information and energy in a void of all possible states of information and energy. What makes Gold different from lead is the arrangement and quantity of these impulses of information and energy. So it becomes clear. That not only is the essential stuff of the universe non-stuff, but that it is thinking non-stuff.

For what else is a thought, but an impulse of energy and information. We think of thoughts, as only occuring in our head, but that is because we experience them there, as linguistically structured thought, that is verbally elite, and speaks to us in the English language, with an Indian accent. But those same impulses of energy and information that we experience as thoughts, those same impulses, are the raw material of the universe.

The only difference between thoughts inside my head, and those outside my head, is that i experience thoughts inside my head in linguistically structured terms. But before a thought becomes verbal, and is experienced as language, it is just an intention. It is, once again, an impluse of energy and information. In other words, at a pre-verbal level, all of nature speaks the same language. We are all thinking bodies, in a thinking universe."

Deepak spoke about this story an Irish Anthropolsigt told him. He was looking for a certain species of whale to write about in his book. And he was travelling the South sea, and he was having a hard time spotting the whale. One day he mentioned it to the village elders and they said there's a girl here who's 13 years old and she can fetch the whale for him.

So he met her, and they were sitting on the beach, they closed her eyes, and she closed her eyes, and 20 minutes or so later this whale came nearer and nearer and finally beached itself at the feet of this girl. They had to get the whole village to put the whale back into the ocean. Afterwards, he went to this girl and asked her, "What did you do?"

She said, "I went to the place where we all speak the same language, and then i asked it to come." Then this other guy brought her to go fishing with him. She puts her head in the ocean and directs them to find what they were lookign for. So soon he gets really amazed by her ability and couldn't resist himself. He mickicks her and put his head in the water and listened.

He tells her, "I couldn't hear anything." And she tells him, "That's the trick. To hear the silence."

"It is the trick, because otherwise our internal dialogue is so noisy that it interferes with this transformational vortex, this window that we have to the cosmic mind. So its not important to have a postive mind, you know we hear so much about positive thinking. And thats not what we talking about, because a positive mind can be a very stressful mind. I have patients who are exasperatingly positive, so positive that they make me nervous!

Because a positive mind although its better than a negative mind is still a turbulent mind. What we want is a quiet mind. And when the mind is silent, then one becomes a witness of both the positiive and the negative. And one realizes that both the positive and the negative are the aspects of the same thing. They are poles of opposites that make for a meaningful life.

If there weren't villains there wouldnt be a need for heros. If there wasn't hot, there wouldn't be cold. The whole universe is the lively co-existence of extreme opposites. And we have to quietly somewhere deep inside us, reconcile ourselves, quietly to that co-existence, and then we are at peace.

And we don't say this is good, this bad, this is right, this wrong, we lose the need to judge."

Its nice that i've come to end on the same subject of judgment. It could be a simple example of syncronicity. I'm just not so judgmental on what's true anymore. I don't see the world the same anymore the more i expose myself to the thoughts of the men like Deepak and Wayne. I can't walk through walls yet, though. But hey, why not. I'm just going to walk to my bed, and lose my critical consciousness instead. Gnite."

Pass it on share; Share.

Do you used to blame the circumstances?

I used to do that. But I stopped it nearly 8 months ago.
I now fully realize that my present circumstances are my own responsibility simply by imagining or day dreaming about it either consciously or unconsciously.

I create my own destiny by the power of my own thoughts and actions and emotions.

I happen to read a life changing article in another blog that speaks about quantum physics.

I reproduce below a small part of it:

"Quantum Physics begins to explain how everything in your world comes to be. You are in direct manipulation of your entire physical world, but you may not be aware of this fact. And your lack of awareness of this fact, how the physical matter comes about and your role in it, makes your life appear to you as an occurrence that is out of your control. It may appear to you as if you are the victim of circumstances, while all along you are the cause of those circumstances, including your experiencing of wealth or lack of it."

If your curiosity is aroused, then satisfy it now by reading the article fully.

To me, I am a changed person for the better after reading this piece of work. Nothing in this life can ever make me sad, depressed, angry, envious, worried.

Oh my God, I am free, free at last.
I am at peace.

ps: in case if the full blog post is removed.....
Formy own repeated reading, I am giving it below fully.

"Quantum Physics begins to explain how everything in your world comes to be.

You are in direct manipulation of your entire physical world, but you may not be aware of this fact.

And your lack of awareness of this fact, how the physical matter comes about and your role in it, makes your life appear to you as an occurrence that is out of your control. It may appear to you as if you are the victim of circumstances, while all along you are the cause of those circumstances, including your experiencing of wealth or lack of it.

One of the benefits of understanding the very basics of quantum physics (and the basics is all you need to understand) is that you finally see clearly how powerful concepts such as faith and right thinking work, among other things.

This seeing and understanding, this knowing, enables you to have full confidence, eliminate doubt, create your reality consciously, powerfully and beautifully, and in many ways become more powerful.

But first, what is quantum physics? Quantum physics is the study of the building blocks of the universe. For example, your body is made up of cells. These cells are in turn made up of molecules, which are made up of atoms, which are in turn made up of sub-atomic particles such as electrons. This is the world of quantum physics.

Everything is made up of 'large groups' of sub-atomic particles. Your body, a tree, thoughts, a vehicle, a planet, light, and everything else are 'concentrations' of energy. All of them are large collections of pretty much the same types of sub-atomic particles. The only difference is in the way these particles are grouped together into ever-larger building blocks.

Knowing how the work is a key to knowing how to re-create yourself and your world around you.

To speak correctly, a sub-atomic particle is not really a particle in the way that a grain of sand is a particle.

While atomic and larger particles are objects, or things, subatomic particles are not objects as such. They are 'probabilities of existence' and at the same time 'multiple existences'. They are also wave-like and particle-like at the same time. You will soon see what all this means by the end of this chapter.

Quantum physics asks the question 'what are these sub-atomic particles and how do they act?' Well, the sub-atomic particles are energy packets sometimes called quanta.

Everything in this universe is made up of energy, and these energy packets behave in the most amazing way! They are at our command!

The reason they would arrange themselves into a luxury boat, for example, is our individual and collective thoughts. Do you now start to see the link between wealth and quantum physics? Up until this point, you may have been designing your world haphazardly and unconsciously. Now you will awaken and do it deliberately and consciously with direction.

Lets begin our journey into the quantum field...

What is your body made of? Tissues and organs. What are tissues and organs made of? Cells. What are cells made of? Molecules. What are molecules made of? Atoms. What are atoms made of? Sub-atomic particles. What are sub-atomic particles made of? Energy? No.

They are not made of energy; they are energy. You are one big 'chunk' of energy.

And so is everything else. Spirit and Mind puts together this energy into the physical shape you are used to seeing.

Quantum physics tells us that it is the act of observing an object that causes it to be there where and how we observe it.

Energy is the sub-atomic particles that in turn make up atoms and finally matter. This energy exists as waves spread out over space and time.

Only when you exercise observation do these waves become particles localized as a space-time event, a particle at a particular 'time' and 'place'. As soon as you withdraw observation, they become a wave again.

So, as you see, your observation, your attention to something, and your intention, literally creates that thing as a space-time event. This is scientific. In other chapters, we shall see how to focus, concentrate, and guard your attention, intention, and thought to create your reality exactly.

No solid object is solid. It is made up of rapidly flashing packets of energy. Billions and trillions of packets of energy. They flash in and flash out of that space where the 'object' is. They do not just stay there.

So, why does a human body or a car look like a solid continuous object when we now know that it is actually a rapidly flashing field of energy? Think of a TV image. When you watch a movie, you see a person walk across the screen smoothly, yet in reality it is just a film reel with 24 slightly different frames a minute so your eyes do not detect the gap between the frames. Even each of those frames is a composition of billions of light photons flashing at the speed of light.

That is what your world is - a rapid flash that causes an illusion of being 'solid' and 'continuous'.

Once you understand what your world is really, truly, you start to understand it's true behavior and nature. You then change your view of it. And with your changed perception, you change your creation of it. This is the first step to wealth.

Every single physicists agrees on one thing: sub-atomic particles, those energy 'packets' or quanta, are not particles in a particular point in space and time, like a table or a chair is, but they are a probability that they can exist at various points in space and time.

The act of us observing them converts them into a 'physical' particle at a particular point in space and time, and once we withdraw that attention, they become a probability again.

Imagine that the chair in your living room is one big sub-atomic particle. This is how it would act: when you are not in the house and not thinking of your chair, it would 'vanish' and become a probability that it can 're-appear' anywhere in your living room or anywhere else in the universe, actually.

When you come back home and you think of sitting on a chair in a particular spot in your living room, and you look for a chair at that spot where you wish to sit, it will magically re-appear! This is not some fantasy magical story. Sub-atomic particles behave just like that!

The amazing thing is that all matter is composed purely of massive amounts of these particles. Therefore, all matter acts exactly like a large group of sub-atomic particle would. A chair's 'being there' is a result of us all watching it being there and deciding it to be there. It is not a wholly independent existence.

No matter is a wholly independent existence - independent of the observer. As some scientists say, if everyone and everything in the universe stopped looking at the moon or thinking about it, it would not be a physical moon any more - it would be a probability of existence.

The act of observation makes the probability become a definite thing and all other probabilities of it being elsewhere in the same world a null existence. Continuous attention keeps it that way, producing the illusion of a solid continuous existence of a physical moon.

Physicists have also discovered that quantum 'particles' make decisions. They are powered by intelligence. Not only that, they also know, instantly, what decisions are being made by other particles anywhere else in the universe!

This synchronicity across space and time is instantaneous - they 'communicate' without taking any time or crossing any space. In fact, they also move instantaneously without having to go across space or take time.

They can get from point A to B without having to cross the space in between, and point A and B can be in different times. Remember that quantum 'particles' are not particles, as you would normally think of a particle. They are not 'things' that are at a particular 'place' and 'time' - they are spread across space and time.

So, what is the intelligence that powers them? Well, it is from the Mind of The Source, God, All That Is, proportionately made up your own 'individual' mind and also the 'individual minds' of the rest of the universe, depending on the subject matter, scope, and strength of will.

Think about all this carefully. Think about the fact that everything your eye can see is made up of these amazing particles, which are under your co-control.

Think about the scientific facts that now prove that you are at cause, or co-cause, for everything around you, that nothing you observe can exist without your observation. All you need to do is choose what you wish to observe, choose it with certainty and consistency, and this will cause the energy field to materialize into that thing over 'time', depending on your clarity, focus and certainty.

Scientists have discovered that even in the strictest double-blind experiments, their expectations still influence results and it is impossible to carry out an experiment where there is zero influence from the observer on the results of the experiment.

Okay, that was another long post yes? Come on, its Quantum Physics! The basics, that is. If you found it interesting or useful or anything at all, i recommend that you subscribe to the Images of One newsletter.

I was actually going to write about the whole particle non-existing until being observed subject because Deepak spoke of it too, but thanks to the newsletter, i saved me some time. And did you some good too, i hope.

I'm supposed to write about health and all, the fact that every atom is actually replaced in a year so the reason why people still retain their diseases even though the atoms have changed is?

You may be prosperous but are you wealthy?

I am never tired of repeating this:
My life slogan: ‘Pass it on; Share.’

So, here again, I am inspired to share with you after I read an article in India times.

Many of us hold wealth and prosperity as synonymous.

But it is not so. Wealth is much more than your bank balance.
It is happiness, peace of mind, a fulfilling relationship.

But we always chase money alone, assuming that it is the ultimate wealth.
Of course, you may amass fortunes, but it won’t make you feel wealthy in the real sense.

We have seen and heard about so many celebrities who have become rich by any standard but at the end of their life, they have become near pauper.

Do you know why?
They have never learnt how to retain their money. They thought that only by hoarding, it can last life long, but it was not to be.
As long as we have the consciousness of hoarding–of taking for ourselves and never allowing the energy to flow through us to others–we block that energy flow; in time, it may cease altogether.

To prove this, read this story:
At last he climbed to the top of the mountain and found the mountain stream which is said to be the elixir of life.
He bottled it, brought it back to his home and never uttered a word about it to anyone in his family.

To last longer, he only took a sip everyday. When he opened the bottle on the seventh day, he found the water had gone stale.

Thought provoking really.

Why birds fearlessly perch on certain persons?

I am sure many of you pondered over the above question.

When you watch pigeons and parrots fly over freely and perch on outstretched hands of some persons, you also might have held out your hand only to watch the birds flutter away from you. You would have felt disappointed-right?

Do you the reason for the birds behavior? Simple, it felt safe, rather it sensed safety. Of course you did not have the least intention to harm the bird but still it shunned away from you.

It simply means, you don’t send out powerful attractor energy-‘The Unconditional love’.

Highly conscious people, who attain a state of total fearlessness, send out higher vibration energy, which animals and birds sense it because they are also attuned to this frequency.

How to attain this state? Simple by not having fearful thoughts.
Thoughts like what will happen tomorrow, how I am going to face the interview, how I am going to present my case, it is getting dark; how will I reach home if it rains, occupies you always.

These are all fearful thoughts which make you not live in the present moment. It is quite natural for all ordinary human beings, but if you have unshakable faith in the creator, fearful thoughts will not find room to enter you.

The worry and fear free, state of mind will be sensed by animals, birds and other human beings also.

This blog post is sponsored by cheap paintball gear, dealers in low priced, top quality Paintball Guns from all the top manufacturers like Smart parts, Kingman Spyder, Tippmann, Proto.

Wondering what is Paintball Guns? (also called paintball markers)
Paintball guns were originally used by the forestry and farming industries to mark trees and cattle.
These early paintball guns were similar to many paintball pistols of today – they were powered by CO2 cartridges and had poor range and mediocre accuracy.

Do you know that the first paintball gun manufactured specifically for the sport of paintball was the Splatmaster, which was patented in 1985?

Generally, the evolution of paintball gun technology is focused on achieving greater speed, accuracy, and air efficiency.
However, paintball guns have also gotten lighter and smaller over the years.

The industry saw it necessary to modify the tree-marking paintball guns in order to reduce their velocity to prevent injury to humans.

Now Paintball guns are made even smaller and lighter with better accuracy.

Does this description fit you?

What is your nature?

Ask this question to anybody and you can fill up quite a lot of papers with their answers.

See which one of them below, seem to fit you.
I am always a moody person.
By nature I am skeptic.
I am a cheerful person by nature.
I am short tempered.
I can’t tolerate loud mouthed persons.
I am a chronic sadist.
I am a lover of nature.
I easily trust anyone.

Am I entering familiar grounds? (smile)
So are you sure about your nature? Over the years have you not changed a bit? I mean did you notice that what bothered you once does not do so anymore?

But you were not born with these qualities! All these you acquired as you grew, due to your living conditions, education, religious beliefs and friends and relatives.

What is the nature of earth? It gives life. You plant a seed or sapling, water it for a few weeks and watch with amazement as it sprouts to life. Now who gave life to it? The earth. Irrespective of the conditions and seasons of the world, it will continue to give life-because it is it’s nature.

It does not refuse, it does not retort, will silently bear all rains and sunshine, but retain its nature.

So we were, when we were born. We held all the spiritual qualities when we were children. As time passed by, we severe our spiritual connections, attain human status and enrobe ourselves with all sorts of inhuman qualities that we call nature.

Whether a giant oak sprouts out or a tiny and feeble grass, it is immaterial to Earth. It does not take pride to show its’ nature.

How else a very foul smelling flower grows out of the same earth, from which we know hundreds and thousands of Flowers with exotic fragrance.

I am talking about the corpse flower, the world’s most foul-smelling flower.

Last Friday Crowds flocked to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to see what the big stink was about — the rare blooming of a cultivated amorphophallus titanum, one of the world’s largest flowers.

“I had to wear a respirator,” said Alessandro Chiari, a plant propagator. In fact he also took part in raising the flower with Mark Fisher.

“It’s such a beautiful thing,” Fisher said of what he calls his “baby,” which was raised over 10 years from a tiny, 2-month-old tuber that came from a North Carolina nursery.

One of the air-monitoring technicians said the smell made her eyes water and the greenhouse’s windows were opened for ventilation.

“It comes in waves,” Chiari said of the plant’s foul smell, which serves the purpose of attracting hungry bees and insects that pollinate its female flowers. Another popular name for this flower is titan arum.

Only a handful have flowered in the United States in the past few decades. But this year was its first flowering, noteworthy for the giant, phallic spadex that springs from the leaf, which grew as much as five inches a day.

Like many of nature’s most spectacular feats, the corpse flower’s blooming will be short-lived and the plant is expected to collapse in another day or two.

Because of its appearance, Victorian woman were kept from viewing it.

Funny isitn’t?

Tell me honestly, can you deny this fact?

Take some time to think deeply. Ponder over your present living style, your treasured possessions, your social status, recent vacation you took.

I will give you 10 minutes to think and write it in a paper.

I will also utilize this gap to go over a web release by truck toolbox- who has announced new Auto, SUV, Van and Truck Accessories website.

Some salient features of their website:

*A quick and easy accessory shopping experience.
*Just select your vehicle year, make and model and in put it in the search box.
*Your search results will show only truck accessories and auto accessories that are compatible with your vehicle.
*Just place them in your shopping cart, click checkout and you're done.
* Free Shipping on all orders over $100 (for FedEx ground services within the Continental US - Excluding oversized items).

Product range:
You name and they have it. Yes!
In the accessories range, you can go through their big list of exterior accessories, interior accessories, contractor accessories, and towing and cargo.

BuyAutoTruckAccessories’ tool box kit consists of single and dual lid crossovers, gull wing crossovers, mid lid tool boxes, innersides, chests, topsides, underbeds and trailer tongue boxes, and even a quality plastic (polyethylene) Tool Box.

Hmm…Impressive indeed.
Let me pass it to a few fleet owner friends of my husband.

Ok!. I see you are ready with your writing. Let me go over it.
Impressive life style really with two sedans, rented but big apartment, fat bank balance. Oh! Recently holidayed in Hawaii! This is nice.

Now just answer this question very honestly.
What was your financial position 10 to 20 years ago?
Not this affluent?

But certainly you imagined all those that you wrote on the paper?
You longed for a visit to Hawaii to boast about, wanted always two cars in your garage-right?

Tell me honestly, can you deny this fact?

Do you realize how all this was possible? You attribute it to your hard work, time and luck?

No! No!. There is no such thing as ‘luck’ or ‘accident’ or ‘time.’

A very simple and basic Law of Universe was at work during all these 10 to 20 years.

Do you know what is it-this Law of Universe?

‘Ask and it is given’

Yes, you asked for it, you dreamed about your desires, it went out of your consciousness as energy, it merged with the Universal consciousness, and the Universe conspired for you to have it all-as simple as that. (smile)

Pass it on; Share.

Do you want to become a healer.

There is a burning desire to know how to stay calm and peaceful among those who have just started their journey on the spiritual path.

This is practically explained in an experiment by Deepak Chopra.

He gathered several thousand people for the purpose of meditating in a group. Each person in the meditation group had their serotonin measured prior to the long meditation session.

Serotonin is a "-neurotansmitter in the brain. Its presence in higher
amounts indicates a level of calmness. The higher the serotonin level the more at peace you are.

After several hours of intense group meditation, the serotonin was measured again and there was a significant increase in serotonin levels in virtually all the participants and so they were found to be at peace and calm.

The second part of this experiment involved measuring the serotonin levels of people in the immediate vicinity of the large meditation group, who were not doing the group meditation.

Their serotonin levels were measured both before and immediately after the meditation. It was discovered that serotonin levels were significantly increased by simply being in the immediate neighborhood of a large group of people who were radiating tranquil energy.

Implications of this kind of scientific research are astounding to contemplate.
Just imagine when you become more peaceful and practice sending out this kind of serenity silently, you have an impact on everyone in your physical environment.

This also explains why we have that peaceful feeling whenever we are in the presence of highly enlightened persons, or when we enter certain places of worship.

I was explaining this experiment much more dramatically to another well dressed client in the office of barrington real estate, where I had an appointment with Jeffrey T. Schutter, their Operations Manager, to finalize a purchase.

I know my father also dealt with NewCastle Realty Group about 10 years ago, so they are my natural choice.

The entire deal did not take long and I finally settled for a town home in preference to condos and new houses.

I am one of the Barrington residents that make an average salary of $170831.0, though I expect to earn a couple of more grand in the coming year.(smile)

You may be abused if you practice unconditional love.

Practice it anyway.

You may be called ‘submissive’. Practice unconditional love still.

You may even be called ‘coward’.
For example you might have been cheated in a minor matter by a cab driver. If you forgive him without a protest, you are sure to be called ‘submissive’, ‘coward’, ‘passive’, etc. Don’t bother. Just don’t bother.(smile)

Repeat the same if an opportunity arises next time. The act of forgiving is simply empowering. Only the practitioner of unconditional love can feel the peace and joy.

Are you in tune with this so far? Alright, read on. Empower yourself.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

When you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight;
Bulild anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

I acknowledge with gratitude to Wayne Dyer who wrote some of the above in his book, ‘There is a spiritual solution to every problem’.

Now if what you read above made sense to you, if you have felt something different in your heart, then you are in alignment with your true nature-the nature of spirit and thus you are inspired.

Have you understood?

This blog post is sponsored by simmons jannace & stagg who again fought for justice, when asked by a widow of a man who died in the 9/11 attacks to represent her, in connection with a lawsuit filed in federal court by the attorney who represented her before the Victims Compensation Fund. The attorney sought an exorbitant $2,000,000 as a contingency fee. He filed suit in federal court seeking a declaratory judgment entitling him to his fee.

For those who are not aware, ‘Victims Compensation Fund’ is created for those who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attack. The Fund is a no-fault system designed to maximize compensation to the families of victims. Contingency fees by attorneys representing families were disfavored.

Finer legal point:
Simmons, Jannace & Stagg moved to dismiss the federal action, arguing that the Victims Compensation Fund did not provide federal jurisdiction for an action by an attorney seeking to protect his fee.

In fact there was no reported case that upheld jurisdiction under the Fund where the issue concerned a private dispute between an attorney and his former client concerning the amount of a legal fee, thus argued by Simmons, Jannace & Stagg.

Finally, they argued that the federal court should abstain because the state Surrogate’s Court had already begun an inquiry into the size of the attorney’s fee.

The verdict:
*The federal court, after hearing argument, issued an order and agreed that the Victims Compensation Fund did not provide federal court jurisdiction.

*The court also agreed with Simmons, Jannace & Stagg’s argument that it should abstain from exercising its jurisdiction on the grounds that the given the pendency of the Surrogate’s Court proceeding, federal abstention doctrines mandated that the federal court abstain from exercising its jurisdiction unless and until the Surrogate’s Court proceeding was concluded.

*The court stayed the attorney’s action, but retained jurisdiction for the purpose of any renewed applications after the conclusion of the Surrogate’s Court case.

The most important blocks that keeps you from getting rich. (part 1)

I hear your cry “Oh no! Not one of those unsolicited advice again”.

I do not blame you. I went through that hundreds of times in my life.

But you know the irony, some of those unwanted advices got into us unconsciously that proved beneficial to us sometime later-agreed?

Like you, I read as many books as possible on ‘getting rich’.

Some of the ideas that got embedded in the subconscious mind surfaced involuntarily at the right time and guided me to the riches.

I give below the essence of what I practice which has been endorsed by very many eminent personalities. I am not going to elaborate on these steps, but I request you to just follow it blindly.

1. Do not say this to yourself ever, “I am not that much qualified to get that (job, material, relationship etc).
2. Do not ever say this when you look at or hear about very rich people, “He is stinking rich” or “He has not earned it honestly”.
3. Do not ever say this, “No chance! I will never get that much rich in this life”.
4. Do not ever say this, ‘How? To the best of my knowledge, I do not think it is possible”.
5. Do not ever say this, “No! I am too old to get rich. My time is over”.

In the next part of this article, I will elaborate on these points. But I will give you exactly 30 days time to practice this to overcome your years of conditioned mind, so that this becomes your habit.

I am writing this post from one of the beautiful Hawaii Condo, a 2 bed room unit located on the third floor of the Mahana at Kaanapali Resort in Maui.

Of course there are multitudes of choices to rent your vacation homes owned and managed by Gebhart Properties.

For instance you can opt for Hale Nani Loa Maka, their Kolea Villa , a 3 bed room penthouse located at the Waikoloa Beach Resort with luxurious and convenient features, spacious living areas, custom furnishings, private elevator, kitchen and artwork not found in even the finest of hotels. The location commands an uninterrupted view of Anaeho'omalu Bay and Kileaua.

And if you want to have your own private wading pool, rent their Hale Ke Kai, a luxurious 3BR/4BA two-level private home in Kailua-Kona which can accommodate comfortably up to 8 people.

And its location is so close to the ocean that you can frequently feel the spray from the ocean as waves break against the coastline.

But the reason for my choice of Mahana was, that this resort, the only property in Kaanapali that runs parallel to the ocean, is located a mere thirty feet back from the beach!

What a nice place to stay and blog about getting rich!

Mahana, Kaanapali Resort, Maui.

Thus the doctors gave a misleading prognosis.

Thus the doctors gave a misleading prognosis.

I was shattered beyond imagination, when my father died of esophagus cancer, when he was only 53 years. The doctors told me, he will live for two more years, but he succumbed to the fatal disease within 4 months.

At that time I was only 24, clueless as to how to manage the family, being the eldest son.

I was not all that spiritually aware that my father has not died but only shed his temporary home.

My present advancement in spiritual field was possible only because of the teachings of ‘The Mother’ of Pondicherry and Paramahansa Yogananda.

Now I truly believe the immortality of human soul, and how we can continue our relationship with our diseased beloved ones.

Spiritual communication is really possible when we attune ourselves with our true nature-the inner self or the higher self which is God like.

When we align ourselves with our highest self, we are relieved of all sufferings due to loss of life, wealth and heath.

Speaking of cancer reminds me to let you know about free legal counsel offered by mesothelioma attorney, to patients and families affected by mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases.

Through a web release, Parker & Waichman, LLP announced that they have launched three new websites, www.mesothelioma-victims.com, www.mesotheliomafamilies.com and www.asbestoslawsuitinfo.com

If you come to know about any Asbestos victims, please direct them to visit any of the above three websites, so that the victims or their families can request a free lawsuit case consultation.

Asbestos victims?

The victims are affected by Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer when havel been exposed to asbestos fibers.

Mesothelioma is used to describe a cancerous tumor which involves the mesothelial cells of an organ, usually the lungs or abdominal organs.

Cause:

The main risk factor for mesothelioma, is asbestos exposure.

Symptoms:

Chest pain may be caused by invasion of the chest wall. Pleural effusion causes collapse of adjacent lung and shortness of breath.

Who are vulnerable?

Miners, ship builders, factory and railroad workers, mechanics and construction workers (particularly those responsible for installing brakes in automobiles and insulation in buildings), are easily affected by this deadly disease.

Even many men who served in the Navy were exposed to significant amounts of asbestos on their ships.

Parents, be ware!

Asbestos is still found in 10-15% of schools throughout America.

Visit their websites or call 1-800-529-4636.

What Freud says about shame.

Frued says shame produces neurosis.

We have seen in our life so many persons who were subjected to shame in various ways. There are deeply affected emotionally and psychologically.

Whenever you see a personality who is shy and withdrawn, you can guess them to be affected by shame. Psychologists attribute several causes like sex abuse, physique abuse, knowledge abuse, economic abuse for this.

I am recounting here my son’s behavior. He was constantly abused by his school teachers citing his poor hand writing, lean physique and so on.

At one stage he was so ashamed that he refused to go to school.

He showed all the symptoms like acting cruelly towards himself, accusing every other human in the vicinity for his lack of cheerfulness.

Would I fault him? Yes, to some extent. Obviously his consciousness
level was very low. But then you can’t expect a 14 year old to react differently when he was abused in front of his class mates.

So, you can squarely blame the teacher who failed to spot his positive qualities.

Trust me, I was also a school teacher, I never could forgive my colleagues who were so incompetent and immatured when dealing with students who are nearly 30 years younger.

They never realized that they are even developing even serial killers by constantly abusing so young kids and put them into shame.

If only the so called grown ups are exposed to the writings of Dr. David Hawkins, they will realize their folly.

Gratitude to Dr.David Hawkins for his book 'Power vs Force'

This blog post is sponsored by the web release from gold, who give sensible advice to ignorant investors about investing precious metals.

They point out that gas, food, and almost everything else has NOT gotten more expensive, but in reality, it is the value of the US dollar that has actually gone down.

Monex.com, one of the country's oldest, largest and most experienced firms specializing in precious metals for the individual investor, backs up this argument by making us remember about the price of gas, which was only 25-cents a gallon and that same amount of silver still buys four gallons of gas!

A very valid point really because it only proves real money like gold and silver holds its value.

It becomes more sensible to invest gold, silver or platinum considering today's uncertain political and economic environment.

What is wrong with this moment?

I cannot resist sharing. I just simply cannot resist.
The book ’The Power of Now’ written by Eckhart Tolle is the most important book I have read.

It changed my life upside down.

Here I quote a a few sentences from the book. Now read again the title and proceed.

” You can alsways cope with the Now, but you can never cope with the future-nor do you have to. The answer, the right action or the resource will be there when you need it, not before, not after.

’One day I will make it”- is this been on your mind always?
Are you waiting to start living? If you develop such a mind pattern, no matter what you achieve or get, the present wil never be good enough; the future will always seem better. A perfect recipe for permanent dissatisfaction and non-fulfillment, don’t you agree?

Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don’t want the present. You don’t want what you have got, and you want what you haven’t got.

So give up waiting as a state of mind”

I implore you to read it again if it does not penetrate you.

This is just simply GREAT.

The gauge to find your level of spiritual awareness.

When I first started my spiritual journey, like a child I wanted to find out my progress level quite often.

Alas, there were no means to gauge ones’ spiritual awareness scientifically. I mean there is no such physical instrument like speedometer or hygrometer.

Weeks passed. Then months. By that time, I had completed 4 books. Each book took me to a higher and deeper level. But still my quest was not fulfilled.

Then the flash came but without thunders. My happiness after an action or thought is that evasive gauge. If I am happy and cheerful, that means I am in alignment with my spirit. Your happiness is the ultimate and undisputed gauge that measures and conveys that you are in tune with your true vibration level.

If you are not happy after an action of yours, you won’t be happy at all. Something will bother you, annoy you. This is a clear indication that you are not in harmony with your higher self.

What do you say? Any comments?

How a few messages can change your life for better.

I am sure you might have heard about so many personality development classes that are cropping up in multitudes.

I see advertisements in my local daily every week. I confess I have been tempted a few times to enroll but worked up enough courage to enroll.

Then one day, I stumbled on to news item about subliminal mind power.

Subliminal mind is about programming your subconscious mind positively without your conscious effort. You can program your subconscious mind to achieve anything that you desire.

It is in a sense, tapping your hidden mind power hitherto unused by you.

You never need to give your full attention during this entire process.

It can change your inner personality with in a few days. You can boost your self confidence, enjoy unlimited peace, have wonderfully healthy life and attract wealth.

All you require is only 10 minutes a day. No reading is required on your conscious part. No physical exercise also.

Interested?

Matthew C. was born in 1990 and was brutally murdered in 1999.

Do you want to know more about this story?

Before that let me express my happiness to have found one more site on Law of Attraction which is my favorite subject.

What goes out from us in the form of thoughts or actions, comes back to us following the principle of Law of attraction.

Now please do not ask me to show proof of this Law. I do not have any nor have I the inclination to prove. It is upto you to believe in how the Universe works.

Ah, yes! I can show you an example but. Have you experienced echo? It is the same principle.
Just because you can't hear your voice back every time you speak out, doesn't mean it vanishes into thin air for never to come back.

Only you can't see its path to go and mingle with other Universal vibrations in order to manifest itself into reality. After all, you gave birth to it-that is you created it and you must enjoy its fruit-be it good or bad, based on the nature of your thought.

Now read the moving story of Matthew.

The purpose of this post is to share my ardent desire to see a change in human consciousness.

How you can become a healer.

In one of my earlier post, I wrote about the book, ‘The Power of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle.

I have the habit of marking with a pencil, whenever I read something which touches my heart.

But while reading this book, I simply was not able to keep down the pencil. Every word, every sentence that was written had profound impact upon me.

Here I recount about our healing power.
“Compassion becomes healing in the widest sense. In that state, your healing influence is primarily based not on doing but on being.
Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.

Your peace is so vast and deep that anything that is not peace disappears into it as if it had never existed.

Animals, tress and flowers will feel your peace and respond to it.”

I will write more about the book in due course.
Now speaking about healing without medicines, Health Care professions may disagree with me.

By the way do you know about a leading online Drug and Health Plan Formulary Product Developer called Epocrates.

They declare that clinicians and support staff can now access an online version of its free and trusted mobile drug and formulary guide, used by more than 500,000 healthcare professionals.

For example, if a clinician wants to find the application of Potassium Chloride, they can get instant information by accessing the website of Epocrates.

Epocrates Online provides clinicians with access to critical information about more than 3,300 drugs, including dosing, pricing, potential drug interactions and Medicare Part D formulary coverage from any computer with an Internet connection.

Healthcare professionals can quickly and easily obtain formulary status, drug coverage and alternative and generic drug options for their patients’ health plans with Epocrates Online.

“I’ve been using Epocrates products on my PDA for years and find them indispensable to my practice. I think it is wonderful that my colleagues and staff that don’t yet use a PDA can now access the same information online to help them improve patient care,” said Jacob Wood, MD, assistant professor, UAB Selma Family Residency Program.

Epocrates products are designed by practicing physicians to deliver the most clinically useful and relevant information that healthcare professionals need at the point of care. This enables clinicians to focus on their patients rather than having to reference multiple websites or search through medical texts for information.

“The new online offering will help us grow our network beyond the healthcare professionals that currently use our PDA-based applications,” said Kirk Loevner, Epocrates chairman and chief executive officer.

Clinicians who want a more comprehensive web reference can subscribe to the Epocrates Online premium product. The premium version boasts additional content and features such as more than 400 alternative medicine monographs, patient education handouts, pill pictures, pill identifier and hundreds of medical tables and calculations.

The company has built a clinical network connecting nearly 500,000 healthcare professionals, including one in four U.S. physicians and one in two U.S. medical students, with other healthcare stakeholders.

Epocrates' products have shown a positive impact on patient safety, healthcare efficiency and patient satisfaction.

Epocrates was recently ranked 257 in the 24th annual Inc.500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. For more information, please visit Epocrates.

The most effective prayer I know.

I use to ask so many self proclaimed enlightened persons, “how to pray?”

The answers were always vague and never convince me.
But one fine day The Mother of Pondicherry, revealed to me this:
‘Prayer is your silent communication with God. It is very private and personal.’

A shift occurred within. A cloud cleared. I am at peace now.

I share with you a prayer, which has been very effective for me.

“Divine order takes charge of my life today and everyday. All things work together for good for me today.

This is a new and a wonderful day for me. There will be another day like this.

I am divinely guided all day long, and whatever I do will prosper.”

Go on visitor, with unshaken faith, please say this at the start of your day before you get out of your bed.

Please pass it on; Share.

How God is making miracles happen in my life.

The spiritual development books I have been reading for the past one year or so, helped me gain a little spiritual awareness.

But whatever I gained so far, however insignificant it may be, it still is working wonders in my life.

I am taught extensively the power of positive affirmations. I have subscribed to a couple of news letters that email me daily affirmations; some of them are truly life changing.

For example read this affirmation and if you are satisfied with the result, please pass it on-will you?

“There is no fear in me. Prosperity is mine. God provides lavishly for me and all of humanity.”

This post is sponsored by bridesmaid gifts, through their web release.

I request you to read some of their very practical tips to manage a wedding ceremony and how to generate a wedding budget that is not too stressful.

* Find out who's paying? Talk with your families about who will pay for what: Some brides' families still pick up the entire tab, but more and more groom's families are participating too.

* How do you bring up the conversation? For many couples, talking to each family separately is the best way to have truly open discussions.
When you do talk, here are strategies for determining your initial budget.

* Ask both of your folks to commit to a specific dollar amount, and then add up all the contributions to create your budget.

* Alternatively, it may be easier to ask each set of parents to finance a particular aspect of the wedding (such as the ceremony, honeymoon, or catering) instead of just committing to a dollar amount.

* Decide how much you two can contribute between now and the wedding. (37 % of the couples we polled say they're planning to contribute financially to their wedding.)

*How Much Do You Actually Need? Just like buying shoes, an apartment, or a pair of jeans, when it comes to financing a wedding, you should figure out how much you need to spend to get what you want.

*Set your expectations accordingly. The average cost for a 150-person wedding is about $25,000 (higher in urban areas).

* Here is a basic breakdown of what you can expect to pay: Reception: 48%-50% Ceremony: 2%-3% Attire: 8%-10% Flowers: 8%-10% and so on.

* To avoid stress, allot about 5% of your budget for a "just-in-case" fund.

* If you're paying for your honeymoon yourselves, remember to budget for that as well.

The secret of money magnetism.

My spiritual guru is The Mother of Pondicherry. I read a lot of her books and I write below a part derived from one of her books, ‘The Questions and Answers’.

Money represents a flow of energy. When money is hoarded, we block the energy flow.

There was a story about a young person, who found a mountain stream which tasted something out of this world. He bottled it and brought it to home. Wanting it to last as long as possible, he drank only a little daily.

But, he was terribly disappointed to have found the water that had gone stale after a few weeks.

So, to attract a steady money flow, we must learn to view money as an expression of energy.

What do you infer when the egg hatches?

The Mother compares it to the transformation of consciousness.

The starting point of this transformation is receptivity. This change of consciousness and its preparation is compared with the formation of chicken in the egg.

Till the very last moment, the egg remains the same. There is no change and it is only when the chick is completely formed, absolutely alive that it itself makes a hole with its little beak and comes out.

Something similar takes place at the moment of change of consciousness. For a long time, you have the impression that nothing is happening, that your consciousness is the same as usual and if you have an intense aspiration, you even feel a resistance.

But hen you are ready within, a last effort and everything opens and you are projected into another consciousness.

An interesting piece of information is that Aurora was the first city in the U.S. to use electric street lights and hence known as “City of Lights”.

Aurora is located approximately 45 miles southwest of Chicago.

The City of Aurora is the house for six school districts and covers portions of Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will counties.

The community colleges for Aurora are the College of DuPage and Waubonsee Community College.

Aurora real estate consists of condominiums, townhomes, single family homes and more.

The Power of NOW.

I accidentally came to know about this book, when I was searching for something else in Amazon.com

To call it a book is an insult to its author Eckhart Tolle. This can be considered aThe life guide to one and all who seek to evolve themselves spiritually.

I confess I read a great many books in spiritual development, but I wish I knew this book about 5 years before. This book alone is sufficient for everyone who wants enlightenment. Take my word readers, this is not an exaggeration but a down to earth fact.

I immediately bought this great book online through one of my credit cards. No second thoughts what so ever.

A conservative person may not agree, but a credit card is a great way to enhance our daily lives. When used responsibly credit cards help consumers purchase goods and services, and to pay for them on an affordable budget and timeline.
Along with enabling the purchase of items, it also allows a person to carry less cash and to order out of catalogs.

Additionally, credit cards allow for any number of contingencies when access to savings or checking accounts is not possible.

Bizjournals.com have listed the best of Chase Visa and Master Cards that would give me multiple advantages, like 0% intro rate, low APR, cash back rewards and other benefits.

Bizjournals.com reminds you that most hotels and rental car companies will not take a reservation without a credit card.

Since Bizjournals is the online media division of American City Business Journals, the nation's largest publisher of metropolitan business newspapers, I felt safe and secure to deal with them.

Nancy Burpee deserves equal attention....

Do you think Zinedine Yazid Zidane and Ronaldo alone deserves the the attention of world sports lovers?

If you are a lover of sports and a true sports person, I beg you to turn your kind attention on simmons jannace & stagg, who have arugued a case for Nancy Burpee.

Wondering who is Nancy Burpee?
She is a world class swimmer whose dream was shattered when she was disqualified by an Australian referee at the Paralympics trial held in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2004.
She was determined to participate in the 2004 Paralympic Games ( game for physically challenged persons)

Naturally she wanted to fight against this injustice.She immediately approached simmons jannace & stagg to take up her case and represent her.

Her case:
Ms. Burpee set world records in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle at the trials held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
But she was disqualified by an Australian referee on a procedural technicality.

After her disqualification, Ms. Burpee telephoned Kevin P. Simmons, a partner at Simmons, Jannace & Stagg, and asked the firm to defend her case and to have the disqualification overturned.

In addition, Ms. Burpee requested that the firm commence an action against the United States Olympic Committee requiring the committee to name her to the Olympic Team.

The firm collected several testimonials from swim referees from Canada and Australia.
They agued that the Australian referee showed bias against Nancy,with an added comment indicating that the Australian referee did not want Ms. Burpee competing against an Australian paralympic swimmer.

Simmons, Jannace & Stagg also demonstrated that the United States Paralympic swim trials were not held in accordance with the paralympic rules.

The result:
But an independent arbitrator ruled against Ms. Burpee and declined to force the United States Olympic Committee to name her to the Paralympic Team.

It is time the athletes all over the world showed their united support to Nancy Burpeee by writing to the official bodies concerned and to other social service organizations.

Also the work and the spirit of the law firm kpsimmons.com, represented by Simmons, Jannace & Stagg should also be commended.

Who will win the FIFA world cup?

Working out various permutations and combinations, pouring over history and statistics, arguing and debating in bars and restaurants, every possible result is being arrived at. At least this is what I am reading in newspapers.

May be I am the odd woman out amidst this crazy following.
I am at a financial loss due to the recent gold price fluctuation.

There are several attempts to cheer me up by making me accept that I have not truly lost any cash but only made a small loss against profit since my present bullion holding was bought years ago for a very small price when compared to the current price.

But tell me sir; a loss is a loss-isn’t it?
One thing that truly pepped me up is general envy among my friends that I had been wise to have diversified my investment portfolio in precious metals apart from stocks and shares and immovable assets.

I remember reading long ago that political uncertainties, and frequent change of Govt policies is sure to affect the economy of the common man more than the Govt.

The advantages of investing in bullion market:
Easy liquidity
Insured against decline in the value of national currency
Assured price appreciation

A simple proof as told by the web release for Silver:

“When you were able to buy gas for only 25-cents a gallon, you could take a dollar down to the gas station and buy four gallons for a buck! At that time our dollar was backed by REAL money, real silver. Guess what? That same amount of silver still buys four gallons of gas! That just shows that real money like gold and silver holds its value and it is the green paper money that is now worth a lot less.”

Monex has this data in their site:
“Do you know the price of gold increased approximately 6% in 2004, while the price of silver increased over 15%.”
Since 1967, well over one hundred thousand investors have purchased billions of dollars of gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion coins, worth over $25 billion from Monex, one of the country's oldest, largest and most experienced firms specializing in precious metals for the individual investor.

Aim+ effort=Joy

Right from our school days, we have been bombarded by our teachers and peers to have an aim in our life.

Naturally, we have never taken it seriously (I am not an excluded) till we catch up ourselves with somewhat bleak future and dark roads. Because, we were never explained in a pragmatic way, why we should set up an aim.

But I am truly awakened at the ripe age of 50, when I started reading 'Questions and Answers by The Mother', a series of 4 volumes.

Here is what she says about aim and effort:

An aim gives a meaning, a purpose in life and this purpose implies an effort. And it is in effort that one finds joy. Effort makes the being vibrate at a certain degree of tension, which make it possible for you to feel the joy.

These vibrations enable you to get connected with Universal vibrations. It is effort which pulls you out of inertia. It is effort which makes you receptive to Universal forces.

How?
For example, a man sits down to write a book (or a blog entry) he makes an effort which sets vibrating something in his brain to attract ideas. Suddenly, this man experiences joy. Whatever you do like sweeping a room or cooking, if you make the necessary effort to do it to the maximum of your ability, you will joy.

When you want to realize something, you make a spontaneous effort. This concentrates your energies on the thing to be realized and that gives a meaning to your life.
This gives you the power to receive energies in exchange for those you spend.

Want to overcome your regrets?

Before expressing what I have read about the subject, I want to quote here one of the best pieces of advice I have read elsewhere.

“The two most fuile emotions in our life are worry and guilt.
Guilt for has been done and worry for what might be done.”

Both are absolutely inconseqential NOW.

Have you ever heard of a life without regrets? No? We all regret our actions in the past.
I have heard so many times ‘ No, I have no regrets’. But I never said that sentence. I do regret several of my actions and decisions and I vowed never to repeat in my life.

But I must confess that , regrets can become big burdens that stand in the way for my present happiness.
I read about the following steps to overcome my regerts in a site called wikihow.com
I share with you for your benefit. If you find it useful, share it with others.

Steps
Determine what your regret really is. Do you regret something you did? Something you didn't do? Something someone else did or did not do?

A circumstance beyond your control? It is important to step back from the feelings of regret and identify exactly what the regret is.

Analyze the regret and how you look at it. How does it make you feel? Is it based on facts? Are your feelings distorting what really happened or making it worse? Is this confusion limiting you in your current relationships and objectives? Are you trying to be perfect or change future events when that is not possible? You may also regret a situation over which you had little or no control, or a situation that you assume would have happened if you had chosen differently. Taking a good look at how you're thinking - and identifying possible fallacies in your thinking - is vital to working through regrets, but it takes time, effort, and usually some outside help.


Accept the circumstances. There may be responsibility for yourself or others. Recognize the responsibility, not blame, as well as the consequences of holding on to the regret.

Grieve for your regrets. When we feel regret, we are feeling sadness, anger, or whatever other feelings we first had for a situation - even though the experience is past. Allowing yourself to experience these feelings with the intention of moving forward can help you stop revisiting them over and over.

Forgive and make amends. If there is something that you can do now, do it! Apologize for your behavior. Breaking limiting behavioral patterns empowers you toward productive patterns. "Fix" whatever you can. Forgive yourself and others, and be compassionate toward everyone involved. If you find it helpful, use prayer or meditation to seek insight, courage, strength, forgiveness and peace.

Recognize what you have learned or gained. When you find yourself thinking of the regret, turn your thoughts to the things you have learned and the opportunities that are now yours - even if they are not what you would have preferred. There is always a lesson even in pain and sadness. Look for the lesson and focus on it instead of what might have been.

Tips
Writing about your regrets, feelings, and frustrations can help a lot as you seek to identify and analyze your regrets. Putting your thoughts into written words can clarify them in ways that will astonish you. Writing also takes a regret out of your internal emotions and puts it down where you can study and find ways to get past it.

Talking to a trusted friend or family member can also help you identify fallacies in your thinking and give you the opportunity to sort through your feelings instead of merely experiencing them inside yourself.

Visualize yourself acting and doing things as you move forward and leave your regrets behind. Use the techniques of visualization and self-affirmation to help you through the steps.
Seek out groups or a coach in order to exercise your behavioral patterns. We didn't come this far alone; so take advantage of the greatest tools available. Life coaches and group therapy (oft times called 'gyms') are a wonderful way of celebrating human teamwork.

The most important thing to remember is that someone else may be in a much worse situation, and, statistically at least; you are considerably lucky.

Start the forgiving and healing process by visualizing the wronged person and yourself saying to them, "I forgive you" - even if you were the one who wronged them. You may then complete this healing circle by visualizing the wronged person replying to you, "And I forgive you also." Even a visualization of forgiveness can bring peace, and replace the idea of who was "right" and who was "wrong."

Warnings
Do not minimize the regret. Some regrets are devastating to those involved, but even the most serious regrets can and must be integrated in order to leave them in the past and live happily in the present and future. Accept it as it is and do not make it bigger or more powerful by dwelling on it.

Discovering the source of your regret but not modifying your behavior to avoid the situation in the future will lead to repeated regrets, possibly of greater intensity.

Enriching your baby’s nursery with floral monogram.

Before proceeding further, let me write about monograms.

Monograms are also known as symbols or logos, which are designed specifically for a company or a product.

Monograms are made usually with letters which are generally affixed on top a company’s stationery.

We have also seen monograms etched metals like police badges.

Have a look at what Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza from the DIY (Do It Yoursef) Network has accomplished. They teach you a new idea of gifting with flowers!

Wait! I am not talking about bouquets but about a great new gift-a Floral Monogram

In their blog, they teach you step by step how to create a floral monogram with hydrangea petals of eye catching pastel colours. With the use of velvet ribbons, you can customize to suit the season like summer, fall or winter.

In their nicely designed blog, it is mentioned that Cathie first made this project as a gift to her mother-in-law’s birthday to decorate her front door.

Next, her innovative craft was by using all the letters in her first name instead of just initials.

The way to create this cute floral monogram is explained in their blog.

What you need:

* 6-inch wood letter of choice

* white craft paint & paintbrush

* floral print scrapbook paper

* glue stick

* hot glue

* tacky glue

* 1 large silk hydrangea

* 1/4-inch decorative ribbon (enough to go around your letter, plus 10 inches)

* small rhinestones or ultra fine glitter

Plaque Steps:

1. Paint the back, front and sides of the letter with the white craft paint and allow to dry.

2. Lightly trace the letter onto the scrapbook paper. Cut out the tracing and use a glue stick to attach the paper to the front of the letter. Use your fingers to press out any air bubbles.

3. Cut 10 inches off your decorative ribbon. (This will be your hanger) Turn the letter over and attach the ribbon hanger by forming a “U” shape with the ribbon and hot gluing the ends of the ribbon to the back of the letter about 2 inches from the top.

4. Using your hot glue gun, attach the remaining ribbon around the outer edge of the letter.

5. Break apart the silk flower so you have lots of little petals. Use hot glue to attach the petals to the front of the letter. (You can glue them in a random pattern or a design of your choice) Use a drop of glue and add a few sprinkles of ultra fine glitter to the center of the petals or add rhinestones for decorative effect.

Think of this gift when next time you want to treat your teenager’s birthday.
