Wanted silversmiths.

I hear and read that jewelry manufacturers in Indonesia have laid some of their skilled silversmiths due to shortage of silver supply because of increase in silver price but I know of a leading jeweler in my city (a very close friend of my husband) that is reported to have hung a ‘wanted’ notice outside his silver bracelets factory.

As Monex Deposit Company has been saying through their web releases over the past two years, silver price has been steadily climbing along with gold price and there seems to be more demand for silver than supply.

I think precious metals investors are taking possession of huge amount of silver either in the form of coins or ingot form. Ingots are generally silver ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Yes, you can include me too among the wise investors.

But my funds allow me to buy only silver coins from Monex Precious Metals, home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs.

The Power of Silence-Part 4

All good writers, composers, dancers, singers and actors know the value of silence. Many writers say spending a few moments in silence before writing helps them to get past the most horrific writers’ blocks and get into the most long-lasting experiences of flow where the words and ideas keep flowing out through the pen.

While in the flow, many feel no hunger or thirst or exhaustion. It is almost as if they will never get tired. Perhaps this is what the poet was referring to when he said, “I leave my body outside my study just as Muslims leave their footwear outside their place of worship.” Only the body gets tired.

We are not our bodies and we know this to be true while in an experience of flow, when the Universe writes through us or composes through us and we become just a clear conduit.

It has been said that it is the space between the bars that holds the tiger. It is the space between the notes that makes the music. Remove the spaces of silence and we are left with one continuous noisy note.

God is that which is indivisible. God is that presence which cannot be cut up into pieces; it is the one power in the universe. But we might find it difficult to comprehend this idea of oneness because our normal material existence is very much connected with duality.

When we say light we know we appreciate light because of darkness. Some actions are right and those who involve in right actions are singled out and respected because there are those who do the wrong things. A person with a front should have a back. We cannot think of the inside of a bottle without the opposite idea of the outside of the bottle. A magnet has both the North Pole and the South Pole. This ubiquitous duality has led to dichotomous thinking. Our physical world is a world of dichotomies and combinations of opposites.

Don't ask for money.

Sometimes if we care to analyze our wants and desires, we may find it to our surprise that what we really wanted was just a feeling than a product.

I request you to read it again and think back. It may reveal a fact or two. Or, remember this and examine your live events and your feelings after a month or two.

I will lead you from here. Why I have written that 'Don't ask for money"? What you want money for? To buy a gadget for your kitchen, a new car, a travel package to Hawaii or India (Smile) or pay your payday loan dues-right.

Suppose you have money and achieve any or all of the above, what will be your feeling- happiness, a sense of completion, peace of mind or joy that you have fulfilled a family duty?

So, your ultimate want is good feelings. So, why don't you ask that straight away instead of money? Even without money, your own money I mean, someone may give you a pair of flight tickets to Hawaii.

What I am driving at is this: When you ask for money through your prayers, you are mostly like to imagine the ways you get it. There, you have put limitations to the Universe whereas it is limitless.

Just state your desires of good feeling like peace, contentment, happiness and let the Universe arrange the details as to how you will get it.

Another thing when you ask for money, say $1 million, the moment you get it and exhaust it to meet your wants, you will want more money to buy more things. The demands will go on and on.

Do you get my point?

What do you want really? The feeling you get out of financial security, the happy feeling of driving your own new car etc. Just ask for those kinds of feelings and let go. You are sure to get it; no exceptions.

Inspired by the books I read. My gratitude is to Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Joseph Murphy, Esther and Jerry Hicks, The Mother….

How to write creative blog posts?

This blog post is meant for bloggers who find bliss when they are satisfied with their writing. Sometimes we all feel exhilarated when we have completed our work-any work I mean, it need not be necessarily a blog post.

But at times, we seem to get stuck for imagination, words and ideas. Those are the times we are not at peace with ourselves. Though our purpose is to write a blog post, our mind may be else where consciously or unconsciously. At those times, we would rather be there than here.

Simplest thing to get back your self: (This works and has worked for me every time.)
At times of creativity blockages, simply step back from your PC. Lie down on your bed and focus only on your breathe. Stop thinking; if your mind still wanders, gently bring it back.

Relax totally as if you have nothing else to do for the rest of your life.

Now sit in front of your computer after doing that exercise (?) for just 10 minutes and see the difference.

What happened in those 15 minutes?
You were connected with your inner self-your own source that is connected with everything and everybody in this universe!

To forgive is to give for.

To forgive is to give for-read somewhere and I guess it must be Dr. Wayne Dyer or Eckhart Tolle as I read their books most frequently.

Whoever said that but what a way to define 'Forgive'-it has made a profound impact on me as if every cell in my body carries that message and thus making me sure I never forget that.

What happens when we forgive?
It instantly gives freedom, freedom from carrying resentment, judgment and any other negative emotion that we carry against anybody or even any place!

From Hugh Prather quotes:
" Forgive, but do not wonder how you must act. Forgive, but do not try to convince another to forgive. Forgive, but do not hold yourself superior that you have done so. Simply forgive. Wrap your forgiveness around you like a cloak of light, a spiritual barrier that protects your happiness and your peace, but closes no one out."

Tell me dear, can you hear anything better today?

Immune to medicines.

We joke about my husband’s immune power. He is diabetic. But he doesn’t exercise strict control over his food. Though he is a poor eater, he can’t resist food that is not recommended for diabetics.

The doctors keep changing the medicine and dosage according to his sugar level that poses a challenge to his physician. Now, it seems even their drug guide is shocked at my husband’s resistance to all the medicines. Somehow his body wants newer medicines consistently to combat his blood glucose.

The drug reference guide that I mentioned above is loaded with vital information on more than 3,300 brand and generic drugs and about 600 alternative medicines.

The salient features of this drug reference guide:

Free medical Pocket PC software
Free medical Palm software
Free medical Windows Mobile software

Can you let go of your unhappiness?

Are you in the mood to enjoy a simple and short blog post written by Krishna from Bombay, India?

The title of the blog post is, "Happiness is easy. Its letting go of unhappiness thats hard." I quote her where she has expressed aptly about happiness.
"If we find ourselves laughing with abandon, singing in the shower, or whistling loud enough to be overheard, for some nagging reason we feel we must resume a "serious" state of mind. And yet its happiness that is truly practical and serious. "

If we find ourselves laughing with abandon, singing in the shower, or whistling loud enough to be overheard, for some nagging reason we feel we must resume a "serious" state of mind. And yet its happiness that is truly practical and serious.

How well said by someone young!

We all happily forget (Smile) that our true nature is to be happy at all times. We identify ourselves with other emotions and say that, “It is my nature”. This ignorance and false identification is preventing us from being our true self.

We are not born with so many qualities that build up our character; we pick them up along our trail and we cling onto them too!

While reading her blog post, please don’t forget to read what she says about her in the right sidebar.

Find your mission statement.

Some years before I faced this question: "What is my mission statement?"

Please note that I didn't ask myself, "What is my mission (purpose)". Your mission statement will lead to your purpose of your life.

I didn't have clue to my self analytic question. In 2005, I happen to read the book, "21 days countdown to success" by Chris. J. Witting. It is needless to say that that book led to a totally new life that I am leading today.

In that book, there is an exclusive chapter on mission statement. It says to find out what comes naturally to you and that may be the reason to live. Recognize it as the mission in your life to accomplish.

There, it said it plainly and simply.

What comes naturally to me? I like to communicate, I love it and it is so natural to me. I like to share the profound spiritual messages I read and I have this irresistible urge to pass it on.

Well, that is what I am doing through this blog and that is the purpose of this blog.

I believe that I have a purpose. I am taking maximum advantage of my skills and talents and I am giving them a chance to be, a chance to be useful to others.

There's no charge so what are you waiting for!

What are you focusing on?

Stop reading this post for a moment and observe where is your current focus!

At the end of this blog post?
Looking for a link in the post?
Reading this post rapidly and trying to figure out what I am driving at?

None of the above?

I thought I will give you you a list and ask you to tick whichever is applicable; I decided against it and will come to the point straight away.

Our point of focus can be broadly classified into just two categories:
We either focus on the past or future;
We either focus on the things we want or on the things we don't want.

Please be aware that whatever we focus on expands. Don't ask how! It is the law of Universe. I mean, this is how universe functions. Just as you treat the law of gravity and take it for granted, this law of focus should also be treated as a science and take it for granted.

Where is the proof?
Is that your question?

Do this small exercise and you will see the proof.
For the next 5 minutes, focus on this very law itself-the law of focus which is defined as, "whatever you focus, expands". Let yourself loose on the subject and think wildly or imagine whatever comes to your mind.

After 5 minutes, write down your thoughts and imagination.

What will happen?
Within the next 24 hours or 48 hours, you will definitely come across the same subject somehow. You only need to be alert. You may read it in a web site, come across in an email, somebody might talk to you about it, you may read an article on the subject in a news paper or a magazine or you may even dream about it.

This will happen; no exceptions.

So, after you see the proof, if you consciously focus on your wants and desires, you will experience it in your life experience.

Warning!
This law is rather impartial. So, if you happen to focus on the things you don't want to see in your life, then I am sorry sir, you will experience more of it.

Ripple effect:
Throw a stone on still water and you will see he water circles that are created by your throwing action will keep expanding and will come to you from where you have thrown the stone.

Remote healing is possible.

Of course I never had any doubt about the viability of remote healing-a method by which one can heal anyone's health or financial problem without seeing the person.

Two days before I tried this on a close relative of mine and saw the results in less than twelve hours.

The process is very easy and anyone can try this. But I would advise to follow some important points before trying this.

* Before beginning the process, decide that you are not going to take credit for the outcome.
* Believe that this remote healing works.
* Believe that you too can do this.

The last point is extremely important because if you don't accept it in your mind that you can do this, then this process will not work for you.

The Process:
I am citing the real example of what I did.

My relative is in a deep financial mess. But he was affluent once and I remember how he was then, the way he dressed and moved about, the things he used to buy daily and more.

I focused on this past of him and added more details to my imagination as to how he will be if he gets back to his earlier status, how his business is growing, how all of a sudden his service is sought after from remote corners of India.

At close, I thanked my spirit and let go.

I think I don't have to write about the outcome here in detail but the action did yield the expected results or there were indications that my relative is surely on his way to reclaim his affluent status.

Try this when needed and give me your feedback.

How to attract money, health, love in 10 hours?

Ten hours-you don't believe in it-right?

I admit, it is difficult to believe for those who are not exposed to the knowledge about universal laws such as you see outside what you believe inside and what you think, you become etc.

To turn those staunch non believers into believers, to change those who are on the verge of getting ready to believe in law in law of attraction, I want to request them to learn something about the powers of subliminal mind and then read this blog post fully.

I am a blatant supporter of audio and video subliminal programs. Video subliminal is more powerful and quicken the expected results. Watch this video for 20 minutes per day in the morning for 30 days in a row.

What is in it?
You see : Classy, Professionally-Produced, High Quality Video of On-Topic Images.

You hear: Rainforest, Ocean Waves & Other Professionally-Recorded & Produced Sounds of Nature.

The Power of silence-Part 3.

As the speed and the number of the thoughts increases, the frequency and the length of the gaps or silent spaces between those thoughts decreases. In fact, very often, there are almost no gaps. It is interesting to note that our thoughts which create our words and result in our actions actually arise from those silent spaces between the thoughts.

Obviously the thoughts came out of the nothingness of silence, from an infinite void. The thought just came into existence in an instant from somewhere and there was really no cause for it, no logical beginning that we can point out. If we think about it using our mind or faculties of logic or ratiocination, we are only going to be confused.

It is in those gaps that we can find peace and, as we will see today, while we are in those gaps we can also find or tap into the Source of all that is or All-That-Is itself. When we merge with the silence and become one with it, we have this beautiful experience of eternal peacefulness that some might label God.

In Getting in the Gap meditation, we bring up the first ten words of the Lord ’s Prayer, “Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” First we see the word our on the inner screen of our mind and then the word father and then we try to move back and slip into the gap or space of silence between our and father and stay there for some time.

Then we come out of the gap and see the word father and the word who and then slip into the gap between the words father and who. We repeat this with the whole line. Dyer also suggests thinking of what we want to attract to ourselves while in the gap and also chanting some sound or phrase that we love. Dyer especially recommends the sound “aaah” which, he points out, can be found in the names of god in all cultures and languages, like for example, Allah, Kali, Krishna, Yahweh, Rama, etc.

The Psalms of the Old Testament advise: “Be still and know that I am God.” Mother Theresa had the following to say about silence: “GOD is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, grass grow in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence….”

Golden dishes will never turn black.

Women are basically more wise than men-what do you say?

The basic insecurity feeling that women have is always turning out to be beneficial for the family. The way they watch over the expenses towards running the family is mostly unappreciated by the men folk when they are young.

As the man ages and step into his forties, he realizes that his wife is wiser than him. He is always given the extra money whenever his empty wallet stares at him.

When asked how she always has money to spare, women reveal how they manage to save cash every month and invest it in precious metals. Yes, I too used to buy gold coin every now and then. I don’t view any other mode of investment as safe.

The most obvious advantage of having gold coins and silver coins is the easy liquidity they present.

And my gold coin buying source is always Monex Deposit Company (MDC) where I can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository.

Tap the most potent force in the universe.

Is there any doubt that thoughts are the most potent universal force for the mankind? None whatsoever is more powerful than our thoughts.

Thoughts can create and destroy nations, plants, animals and environment. Thoughts can be used to create anything, even another universe-the type we all want to inhabit-happy faces, calm, peace, green, wealth and health are the natural features of this new universe that the opposite of them have no room in it.

Today, I have downloaded yet another free e-book on the power of thoughts. I just started reading it but before I could finish, I had this urge to share it with you. The moment you start reading it, you will understand my enthusiasm.

Go here please to download it for free.

The secret of gratitude.

Well, actually there is no secret at all. It is truly simple.

Whenever you say thanks, it will always be in appreciation of something done to you or something you experienced without a third party's help.

And when you say 'thanks', it simply means telling the universe, 'more of this please'. Well, you may not use the exact words but that is how the universe understands and interprets your emotion.

Do you realize what does this imply? Do you understand the importance of gratitude? Gratitude is the highest frequency with which you can access your creative source-your God.

I happen to read an article today on the power of being in gratitude and the author says, "When you speak words of gratitude you are placing yourself in a state of acceptance and love".

There is a stunning photograph that blog post carries. I am in absolute awe of that image of a woman. I think it is a painting.

I can't resist reproducing it here. It has some power.

Suppose if I help you?

You are in need of a change in job;
You are in need of urgent money;
You want a visa to China for the Olympic;
You want to be able to afford vehicle insurance;
You want to find a full scholarship in America;

Just add yours please as I am sure I had left behind loads of wishes.

Now, what if I help you to get your wishes granted in reality? How much will you pay me? Think hard before you commit yourself.

Also, please don't ask a question aloud, "If I can help you achieve whatever you want, why I am asking money from you"?

I will reply to that later when you reply first, "How much will you pay me"?

Squadra Lady Duetto from Jaeger Lecoultre.

My son has eight watches and the fact is that he did not buy a single one. All were presented to him for his coaching services to his class mates. He is somehow good at teaching. May be he takes after me?

Out of those eight watches, one is a jaeger lecoultre watch, the most beautiful and a valuable possession really. It is a rare Swiss watch that is not always available in India. I think there are few dealers for jaeger lecoultre because of few takers.

My son offered it to me once on a special occasion but I declined his generosity. It will look very odd on my lean wrist. He then shopped around for something that is specially made for ladies. He found out Vialuxe.com that sold Reverso Squadra timepieces exclusively for the ladies.

He liked the Squadra Lady Duetto more than the Squadra Lady Automatic watch because it allowed one to choose between two distinctly elegant "faces".

When he invited me to view it online, I was impressed but the cost was a little too much for my student son.

However, my son bookmarked Viluxe.com and vowed to visit again when he gets his first salary.

When you set an intention...

Shall we say we spend 75% of the waking hour in thinking?

Ok, fine. If we care to analyze on what we have been thinking, shall we say 90% of the thoughts focused on what had happened in the past and what might be done in the future?

Agreed?

But to what purpose apart from wasting the extremely precious thought energy? Have we entertained ourselves by all those thoughts? Have all those mind projections gave us a joyous feeling? I men, have you felt happy while thinking?

Do I have a viable solution?
You bet I have.

I will straight away come to the practicalities.

Let us assume that it is 8.10 AM. You are starting out to your office. You have in mind to catch the 8.40 AM local. You have 30 minutes to reach the railway station either by walk or by other means of local transportation.

Do you mean to say that this entire 30 minutes was spent on thinking about what you are going to that day?

For most of the people, the first thoughts will be on whether they will be able to catch the 8.40 AM local and for this they would mentally work out about 100 different reasons as to why they may not be able to make it on time.

Instead, just state an intention: " I am going to have a fun ride today in the train and start the process of life forces. Immediately you set the cosmic forces to bring it to you and you to it.

This is not some mystic theory but this is how Universe works.

All you have to do to get what you want is to intend for it and the next moment, you let go and let God.

Can you spoil it? Yes of course by entertaining doubts and putting forth a question, "How". In this 'How', you have showed that you have no faith and trust in the universal forces and all you trust is your own knowledge gained thus far.
