The dream of lucid dreaming.

Ever since I learnt about lucid dreaming, I wanted to develop that quality though I never took serious efforts.

But the desire was residual and I also blogged about it once and discussed with a friend of mine in great detail a few months back.

Without actually realizing I started remembering my dreams vividly even after a few days and last night it happened-the lucid dreaming. Yes, I while I was dreaming about a religious function that I intended to initiate, I distinctly realized that I am dreaming and this is not a reality.

I think my strong desire to develop lucid dreaming quality finally manifested itself. I don’t know whether it will happen again or not but I was elated.

High quality Titleist used golf balls.

Only a few weeks before I first came to know that used golf balls also are being bought extensively in the U.S. I had a doubt whether golf clubs like tennis clubs sell off used golf balls.

Then only I learnt that the used golf balls are actually supposed to be lost in golf courses and they are later retrieved and sold at a cheaper prize. This is carried out in an organized manner by LostGolfBalls.com.

Actually, it has earned a contract to retrieve the lost golf balls from as many as 2500 golf courses. It is quite often that golf balls get lost while playing and invariably, neither the golf players nor the grounds men bother to search for them.

This is where LostGolfBalls.com comes into the picture. It retrieves the lost golf balls, and clean them meticulously, sort them by quality and by brand too.

They are then packed neatly and sold at a very cheap prize. Among various brands, Titleist golf balls are generally in high demand followed by other brands that includes Nike and Wilson.

Lost Golf Balls announced recently that it has furthered its mission of recycling used golf balls by becoming a preferred supplier of The First Tee, an organization dedicated to promoting character development and life-enhancing values to underprivileged children through the game of golf.

Do children exist before conception?

As I am deeply interested in the mysteries of life, I have bought several books on Life Mysteries, life before and after death, astral world, out of body experiences and intrepretations of dreams etc.

I remember reading that before we are born, the time we spend on the astral world following the previous birth's death, may vary depending on the growth of our spiritual development in the previous birth.

For the next incarnation, we choose the parents and place of birth that will further our spiritual growth.

Elisabeth Hallett has written an interesting article on the title of this blog post. An excerpt is given below that will certainly make you read the article fully.

"But are these arrangements hard and fast? Some experiences point to a certain creative flexibility at play in the pre-conception world. For example, a four-year-old girl told her mother that before she was born, she and Jesus used to sit together while she decided whether to be a boy in one family or a girl in another. "She said she decided at the last minute to come to us as a girl," the mother reports, "and then she and Jesus laughed and went off to play till it was time to go." It may not be hard evidence, but it's thought-provoking! "

Thank you Elisabeth Hallett!

Answeres directly from God!

Follwing is the list of answeres by God for questions asked by a man.

I give below only the answeres as they are thought provoking and absolutely true even without the questions.

Would you take a simple test just for fun? Try to write the relevant questions for each answer.
Then at the end of this blog post, find the link to the original post with full questions and answeres.

Yes, these answeres and questions belong to another blogger and I am extremely happy to have found it and equally happy to share it with you.

God: Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.

God: Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go.
Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

God: When they suffer they ask, "Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask, "Why me?" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, yet few want to be on the side of the truth.

God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

God: Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.

High quality leads for hospitality industries.

A statistic somewhere I read says that at present more than 78,000 travel related web sites operate online. This statistics doesn’t cover offline travel service providers. Shall we assume equal number of entrepreneurs offline?

How do all these businesses survive? Where do they go for customers? How do they announce new travel packages and discount holiday deals?

I wonder whether Martin Worldwide is aware of the above statistics! They must be or how else they are considered to be the number 1 business leads provider in the world?

Travel leads as well as hospitality business leads are worth several million dollars to the entire hospitality industry. Even other related industries in this sector such as entertainment, hobby and time share resorts also depend on leads provided by Martin Worldwide because they give guarantee to the performance of the leads.

Their high potential product ResponseCom is the outcome of long years tracking, filtering and compiling. I read one testimonial somewhere in a forum. The testifier was located as far as SriLanka and he says that the response rate of the travel leads that he purchased from Martin Worldwide was excellent.

For more information on Martin Worldwide and its direct marketing products and services, please call (888) - 267-3545 or contact: Chip Matthews, Client Relations Manager chip@martinworldwide.net

Velukudi Krishnan on Bhagavat Gita.

Our entire family gets up by 6.30 AM daily excluding weekends to watch Velukudi Krishnan speak on Bhagavat Gita.

With his booming voice and crystal clear pronunciation, he explains every slogam of Bhagavat Gita interspersed with interesting examples.

The way he explains some very deep meaning of the slogams is easy to follow and practice. He gives several historical anecdotes during his 15 minutes recital.

The way the universe functions, who and where we are, what is our role in this life, for what purpose we take birth, what is God's role are all explained as Lord Krishna's Bhagavat Gita.

The 15 minutes pass away very quickly and suddenly when it is over, we involuntarily salute him in gratitude. It is being telecast in Podhigai TV.

How to write effective affirmations?

I firmly believe in the power of affirmations and I have written about it in the past.

I have subscribed to many web sites who email me daily one or two positive affirmations with detailed explanations about how those affirmations work and for what purpose.

Today, I have received an email from Quantum Mind Power about how to write our own affirmations. This is an eye opener for me because, I have committed a few mistakes in the past while I wrote affirmations to my friends.

I give below a few examples:

1. The affirmation must be believable to the subconscious mind.

If you are financially broke and you say to yourself “I earn $100,000 per year”, is this believable to your mind? Instead of saying “I earn $100,000 per year,” Say “I choose to earn $100,000 per year”

2. The subconscious mind seeks for proof.
It is the feeling you attach to money that makes you rich or poor. How can we turn this to our advantage?
Instead of feeling pain when spending money, what if we associate pleasure with it? Next time when you go out shopping, at the moment you take out

your money or credit card, say this affirmation to yourself “I always have more than enough to spend.”


3. The affirmation must obey the 3 Ps factor.

The 3 Ps are Positive, Present Tense, and Personal.

Enjoy a free journey to Atlantis

Fearful and apprehensive faces were seen in the queue that was standing to buy the tickets that will allow them to take the unforgettable journey to Atlantis. But most of the children showed expectation on their faces with no sign of any fear.

We saw a few of them the day before also at the Shark Encounter in the Sea World Orlando. That was also a thrilling experience. We rode through a specially made carrier in a big tank full of sharks.

The familiar faces at the entrance to the journey to Atlantis also recognized us but their cheer turned into bewilderment when we simply walked past them without bothering to buy the tickets.

Yes, we were very fortunate to have bought the Disney World Tickets well in advance from Orlandofuntickets.com. More over, we were given the second day sight seeing free at the Disney World.

Though we felt sorry for our friends, we wondered why they have not planned their vacation like us.

My son who had befriended a teenager in that crowd gifted his Disney World brochure that he got from Orlandofuntickets.com. I thought it was a nice gesture. At least they will know how to save time and money for their future visit.

Stop Wanting!

What will be your reaction if you confront the words, "Stop Wanting". Persons new to spirituality may look confused or even get offended.

But, those who are inclined to read spirituality and self development may wait to hear further. I take this blog readers in the second category.

When I first read about this, it made a lot of sense to me. There is no denial that we should aspire for the best. We need not curb our desires for the fear of being labeled as greedy or crazy. We should not lend a willing ear to such opinions and at the same time we should not also criticize them.

What we should not do is to remain in the wanting state forever. This will attract more of that state of mind.

For example, let us say we want to enjoy a vacation at Hawaii. No, problem, everyone should go there and find out why the entire world is crazy about Hawaii.

Our wanting that vacation is now let in to the universe and it will conspire for us by providing the right opportunities at the right time, it will provide the required funds, move the right people who will be willing to be your guide.

Notice the emboldened letters-'right time'. So, when it is not materialized as per our wish, it is our nature to be disappointed and we let ourselves remain in the state of wanting (unfulfilled ).

In this state, we ignorantly shut ourselves from receiving the universal help because being in the state of depression or worry shut all avenues to receive the universal abundance.

So what is the solution?
Simply "Let go and Let God". When we let the universe know of our desires, we should firmly and unflinchingly believe that it will manifest at the right time and go about our day to day life cheerfully.

Oh yes! We can do one thing to speed up the process. We should start imagining our feelings and emotion as though we are in Hawaii.

How to do this?
Read websites about Hawaii, look to those serene beaches, read about vacation resorts and the amenities offered there, get to know about Hawaiian food and culture. This will keep you busy in your imagination.

The more vividly and lively your imagination the quicker your holiday will materialise.

In short, your imagination is more powerful than your will.

List of Personal Development blogs.

Yesterday was a 'no assignment' day for me which meant I could read various blogs of my interest, visit bloggers who have visited my blogs. A bit of blog promotion has to be done once in a way-right?

First, I stumbled on to a review of this blog in bloggeries. It was a pleasant surprise. I know that bloggeries is one of the top blog directories. Next, I found about bloggeries forum, registered and spend more than an hour there.

From there I visited a few blogs on spirituality and personal development. First I found out
One Powerful world and that led me to God Sleuth which subsequently led me to Priscilla Palmer's personal development list of blogs.

I was very impressed with the above three blogs and I know for sure that the entire list is worth spending to share my knowledge in the spiritual field and learn from others also.

I requested Priscilla that this blog may be included in her list and she promptly did the same.

The following is the said list of personal development blogs which I intend to visit one by one. It seems I have found a great treasure. I am really excited to have found so many blogs in my field of interest. I think this keep me busy for the next year.

Thank you Priscilla.

This or something better.

I remember Wayne Dyer using those words while affirming.

I have already written about the power of affirmations, so, I will not repeat here. But while saying your daily affirmations, please close with, "This or something better". By this way, you are not erecting a limitation to the all providing universe.

For example, you may be in need of $5000 by next week to pay your bills. When you affirm,"I intend to have $5000 now to meet certain expenses", it is better if you add "This or something better". By saying this, you are open to receiving more than the actual need.

You might not have foreseen a few more bills to pay or any unforeseen expenses may come in your way during next week, but the universe will know about it and would like to provide you more than the $5000 you asked for.

Finally you may end up with exactly what you have asked for if you limit yourself and the universe.

So, remember to add, "This or something better" to the end of your prayer or affirmation.

Setting up a business in New York?

A conception of a business idea is quite natural to ambitious people who are often inspired by success stories of famous business people.

But how many business ideas are implemented in reality? I would say 0.01% only and that too more than 50% of them doesn’t last more than a year.

One could attribute several reasons for failure that includes lack of opportunities, ignorance of competitors and lack of knowledge of financial management.

But the few who succeeds are the ones who have laid a strong foundation and for this they would have invariably sought the assistance of simmons jannace & stagg, a full service law firm practicing in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.

Their area of specialization is multi fold; to name a few, they practice in the area of liability litigation, corporate transactions, municipal law, real estate, zoning and land use, and environmental law.

They represent very large corporations such as Bank of America Corp., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

Also, because of their expert guidance in choosing a business form, many small companies, municipalities and individuals firmly bank on them for legal support. The firm has organized corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other legal entities throughout the U.S.

Hence, entrepreneurs who are about to start their business in those three states are advised to contact Simmons Jannace & Stagg, LLP to lay the foundation for a successful business.

What is resistance?

You have heard it often and so do others.

For example, when my husband was taking his lessons on Reiki through a genuine Reiki master, he was told by his master not to resist the cosmic force in reply to my husband's slow progress.

My husband simply did not feel the cosmic force on his palms after initiating the Reiki. He was said to have resistance.

What is resistance?
I quote here Dr.Wayne Dyer.
" Any discrepancy between our individual intention or desire and our belief concerning the possibility of summoning it into our life creates resistance.

If you want it but believe it is impossible or that you are unworthy or that you don't have the skills or perseverance, then you have created resistance and you are disallowing."

Where Angels dare.

Slightly brushing quantum theory here, what we perceive as the solid earth is in reality not so.
It is only a subatomic energy particles moving at very high speed and appear to be solid because of our observation which is very slow when compared to the the speed of subatomic(quantum) particles.

Now let us move on with the above perception in the back of our mind.

"Where Angels Fear to Tread" is a book by Alex J. Morrey postulates a revolutionary new understanding of what we perceive as the universe, the world in which we live. This means that we (humanity) created what we perceive and think of as the ‘physical’ reality of the universe.

What we are actually perceiving is a shared Universal Belief within the collective mind of humanity: a collective dream-like world. The reason why it seems so solid, having mass and inertia, requires a different understanding of the electrostatic field, among other things.

Persons who already have some understanding of the quantum physics will get the point that the above book drives and may even buy that book.

For new entrants in the spiritual world, the idea of collective human consciousness will throw them off balance.

I recommend Clarion Hotel at Orlando.

It was 2.00 AM when we checked in to one of the orlando hotels situated in Universal Boulevard. Since it was a last minute plan, we didn’t have time to reserve our accommodation.

Actually we were a group of 6 people and our mission was to produce a short documentary on the hospitality at Universal Studios. So it seems apt that we checked into Clarion Hotel Universal. Since the taxi driver had some contact at the hotel, we were given accommodation.

The Clarion Hotel Universal, located one-half mile from Universal Orlando was very convenient for our work. We walked to our work spot daily and saved a lot of money on local transportation though complimentary shuttle transportation to Universal Orlando and Universal's City Walk was available.

Another facility that was offered to us the hotel was complimentary wireless Internet access.

When we checked out, we went out of the way to express our satisfaction at the front desk. The person in charge of the reception (sorry, I forgot her name) informed us to book our rooms through Orlando.com that offers the most comprehensive travel and vacation arrangements in Orlando, with a travel guide offering tips on entertainment, dining, nightlife and more!

Don't visit ivillage but settle there.

Ivillage.com is not just a village where you can pay a courtesy visit and never come back.

It has in depth and meaningful articles on health, wellness, diet & fitness, pregnancy & parenting, beauty & style, home & garden, food, weddings, love & sex, entertainment, astrology and games.

For all these things, there is a shopping mall that sells related items. And they feature great blogs on every category.

iVillage, a division of NBC Universal, is the first and largest media company dedicated exclusively to connecting women at every stage of their lives. Ranked the #1 online destination for women with 16 million unique visitors, iVillage offers an authentic community infused with compelling content.

Free tutorial on thought control.

I think I have learnt the art of monitoring my thoughts to some extant. I know I have long way to go but I am learning daily.

I am helped by various books on how to control the thoughts and turn them to attract the desires.
I can nae quite a few authors that includes Christopher Westra, Laurie Benner, Wayne Dyer and Napoleon Hill.

Here is one more e-book that is offered free of cost. You go to about.com to download this e-book or simply click here.

It is written by Swami Sivananda and it tells you how to control your mind, enhance your concentration, focus your thoughts and direct it the way you want.

About.com says, "Students, grown-ups, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, seekers of Truth and lovers of God—all can find in the pages of this book plenty of specific guidance for thought-culture and thought power and for living a positive, dynamic, rich, triumphant and joyous life. It is useful for self-culture, self-knowledge, acquisition of the power of personality and success in life".

Don’t throw away your video clips.

My husband has lot of friends in the tinsel world. Most of them are assistant directors and one or two music directors. Recently, he brought home a man who is trying to be a cinematographer. He is a qualified man.

During the chit chat, he was lamenting his bad time and how it caused him to miss out on a couple of opportunities. Since he said he found it very difficult to kill the free time, I asked him if he has heard about video stock footage and especially the high definition type.

He immediately started elaborating about his short tenure as a documentary film maker; that stint gave him plenty of chances to save rare video footage. Then I directed him to alwayshd.com, a common gathering point for talented cinematographers and the many producers around the world that are actively seeking professional quality High Definition footage. Yes, you can call it a marketplace too.

I patiently explained about my work as a blogger and how it paves way for me to know many things. I told him that “AlwaysHD” markets High Definition footage to production companies, such as advertising agencies, broadcast television studios, documentary producers, independent filmmakers, and cinema studios on behalf of its contributing cinematographers.

If a video clips is sold, the concerned cinematographer is rewarded financially. I reminded him that his video clips will be sold as ‘Royalty free’ and he once sold, he has no further claims on it. The buyer can use it worldwide for any length of time.

I think he will make an attempt to sell some of his rare(?) video clips.

Work with Thea Westra.

Thea Westra is an international life coach.

I have this unsuppressed fascination for life coaches and love them more especially if they turn to be females. As a female, I am under impression that we are more sensitive to everything and everyone. By this natural trait, we are more compassionate than men.

Going through her profile, I noticed that she is a highly qualified person in her field.

What she will do:
* Get you crystal clear on what you truly want to manifest in your life
* Plan effective forward steps with you so that you progressively experience success
* Stay laser focused on your intended outcomes and why you wanted these
* Work with you at your own pace yet stretch you a little during each session
* Keep our time together fun, enjoyable, light-hearted, candid and intentional

Go ahead, pay her a visit.

The importance of motivational messages.

Never show indifference to anything that can motivate and uplift you. I have learnt this not overnight but over a period of few months.

I used to turn a deaf ear whenever I was confronted with chronic advise givers who used to broadcast their superiority because they are professional motivators. I had this false self image that I don't require any kind of motivation.

But all that is past now and I have learnt to attract positive relationship, peace of mind by reading and listening to motivational phrases.

As a member of Audio Motivation, you will get access to interview with famous speakers like Tom Hopkins, Brian Tracy, Jeff Keller and others.

We all need a constant flow of uplifting motivational messages every day.
