			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ancient wisdom from many cultures, and cutting-edge scientific experiments performed in modern labs both point to the incredible power of observing the present moment. Tapping into this simple practice can set you free from all obstacles and empower you to manifest everything you desire.</p>
<p>Most people spend their time living in a past that is forever gone and a future that hasn&#8217;t even been realized yet. For some reason we seem intent on avoiding the present moment with all manner of daydreams and self-distractions.</p>
<p>However, when we allow our minds to be free from regret and anxiety, and focus clearly on the present moment, we have access to the virtually limitless power of mindfulness. By simply deciding to be aware of our bodies, thought processes, and surroundings without getting lost in our internal chatter, we open the door to an abundance of new possibilities.</p>
<p>Enhanced physical energy, the ability to focus our attention more sharply and think more clearly, and a heightened sense of intuition are only a few of the benefits we gain as we practice daily mindfulness. By mindfulness, I simply mean the activity of paying attention to what we are doing in the present and letting our minds flow freely without participating in the &#8220;mental movies&#8221; that make up much of our day.</p>
<p>You can begin this sacred yet simple exercise immediately just by taking account of what you are doing right now.</p>
<p>Feel the physical sensation of your body in the chair.</p>
<p>Allow yourself to hear the sounds around you without becoming distracted.</p>
<p>Read the words on this screen and watch your mind flow without interruption.</p>
<p>Give it a try. You&#8217;ll find yourself slipping back into a state of distraction after only a few seconds.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing how difficult it can be for our minds to simply stop chattering away at us and pay attention for as little as five minutes! But with practice it becomes easier, and your whole life begins to open up in a way you never imagined possible.</p>
<p>Key to this entire process is the ability to observe your thoughts as they occur and not become attached to them. Your conscious mind flows like a never-ending stream, and a big part of its job is to identify and analyze everything in your world; but you don&#8217;t have to identify with or be influenced by every thought you have.</p>
<p>In fact you can choose to entertain only those thoughts that empower your purpose! But that will be the topic of another article.</p>
<p>For now I want to emphasize the practice of stepping back from your thoughts and becoming immersed in your present reality as it unfolds. In addition to wonderful improvements such as greater energy, focus, and love of life, I believe this practice further empowers you to define your personal destiny.</p>
<p>Through Quantum mechanics, researchers have found that a human being can affect the behavior of electrons and atoms by the mere act of observing them! Consider the astonishing ramifications of this statement.</p>
<p>Science has proven that we can directly influence physical reality with thought alone. And the daily practice of being mindful and aware of the moment makes it far easier for us to focus our intentions as we observe the natural flow of life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You own the power to choose each experience in your life. No, you cannot stop tragedies from happening but, how you look and deal with the effects of undesirable events in your life is your choice.  You can choose whether to hold on or to let go of a life that is not working out for you. It does not have to be as drastic as disappearing &amp; physically abandoning your current life, but it can be as simple as changing how you see things.</p>
<p>There was once a tale about a man who became discontented with his life in his city. He always managed to find something to complain about his family,  his neighbors,  his co-workers and the government. So he decided to go out into the world and find another city that will be more to his liking.</p>
<p>He found one in the east. He stopped at the city gate &amp; asked a man, &#8220;What kind of people live in this city?&#8221; The man smiled and answered, &#8220;The people here are happy, peace-loving, diligent, generous &amp; kind.&#8221; &#8220;That sounds wonderful,&#8221; thought the discontented man. So he settled in.</p>
<p>He hasn&#8217;t lived there a full week and he already made a list of the negative things he noticed about the city. He has complains for just about anything &amp; anyone. So he left again &amp; soon found another city, this time in the west. As before, he asked about the kind of people who lives there. And as before, he received a promising response. He moved into the city, but in no time at all he was discontented again. So he left again &amp; soon found another.</p>
<p>As it happened a wise old man was sitting by the city gate. He seemed happy &amp; at peace. The discontented man asked him, &#8220;What kind of people live in this city?&#8221; The wise old man smiled at him &amp; replied, &#8220;It depends on the kind of person you are.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the Power Through Constructive Thinking (HarperCollins), Emmet Fox said,</p>
<blockquote><p>Consciously or unconsciously you have yourself at some time or other produced every condition desirable or undesirable that you find in either your bodily health or your circumstances today. You and you alone, ordered those goods; and now they are being delivered. And as long as you go on thinking wrongly about yourself and about life, the same sort of difficulties will continue to harass you. For every seed must inevitably bring forth after its own kind, and <em>thought is the seed of destiny</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Invariably, it boils down to the law of attraction. So before you criticize &amp; complain about others, take the time to examine your thoughts. You might be sending the wrong signals that is why you always seems to be attracting the wrong people or situations. You can blame others all you want for the rest of your life, but you will still be miserable. So be responsible for your thoughts, words &amp; actions. Plant the seed of perfection in your mind &amp; it will soon invade your whole life. It will attract more of the same &amp; all you will ever see is the divine perfection in yourself, in others &amp; everything around you. Such is the law.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few years ago I wrote a prayer that&#8217;s been circulating through the Internet for five plus years. I called it &#8220;The Prosperity Prayer,&#8221; and I&#8217;ve received countless notes and letters from all over the globe about its effectiveness. One thing everyone likes is the instant payoff — when you read it to yourself, you&#8217;ll feel better right away!</p>
<p>The Prosperity Prayer</p>
<p>Dear God -</p>
<p>I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to your Divine care and love.</p>
<p>I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties and fears about money, and replace them with faith.</p>
<p>I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life.</p>
<p>I have only to look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide.</p>
<p>I release all negative thoughts about money, and know that prosperity is my true state.</p>
<p>I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life.</p>
<p>I learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed.</p>
<p>And finally, I ask you to help me to understand my purpose in life and to act on that purpose with courage and strength. I know that prosperity will come, in part, by doing work I love. Please help me use my skills and knowledge to be of service in the world. Thank you God. Amen</p>
<p>There is a great deal of research that indicates if you want to create a new paradigm in your life, repeat that &#8220;new thing&#8221; every day for thirty days. My suggestion for working with the Prosperity Prayer is that you say it at least once a day for a month. Say it quietly to yourself or out loud. Write it down on a slip of paper so you can read it when you begin to feel old worries about money arise.</p>
<p>Following is a more detailed explanation about the philosophy behind the prayer.</p>
<p>Dear God -</p>
<p>I believe that God is part of us, flows through us and animates the world surrounding us. We are programmed to receive God&#8217;s wisdom. Do you have to believe in God for this to work? Not really. Simply know that your words are heard and expect an answer.</p>
<p>I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to your Divine care and love.</p>
<p>Surrender is a difficult concept for many of us to grasp. At first, it sounds as if I might be suggesting you simply &#8220;give up&#8221; in defeat or to &#8220;let go&#8221; and pretend that your financial concerns do not matter. Neither is true. The Wisdom that controls the universe has created the human body and all its miraculous intricacies. This same wisdom knows how to bring prosperity into your life.</p>
<p>I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties and fears about money and replace them with faith.</p>
<p>Many of us labor under the illusion that if we worry enough about money, we&#8217;ll ward off debt. Nothing could be further from the truth. Worry, anxiety and fear create more worry, anxiety and fear. They don&#8217;t create more money. I&#8217;d like to suggest you go on a 30-day worry-free diet. Become aware when you have fear-based and anxious thoughts. Remember the prayer and stop the worry.</p>
<p>I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a secret I&#8217;ve discovered in working with thousands of clients over twenty-plus years: there is tremendous power in images held in the mind. Those images (and the emotions they produce) begin to create the reality my clients experience in their lives. When you think about money, what pictures pop into your mind? Maxed out credit cards? Bag ladies? Overdue mortgage notices?</p>
<p>If any of the above sounds familiar, I&#8217;d like you to resolve to change these pictures in your mind. I&#8217;m asking you to accept much of this prayer philosophy on faith, but trust me when I tell you that those visualizations have a negative effect on your financial and emotional health.</p>
<p>I have only to look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide.</p>
<p>Abundance is our natural state. We disallow this state through our fear and worry. We cut ourselves off from its flow.</p>
<p>When you begin to worry that there isn&#8217;t enough to go around or that God only doles out a limited supply of material to a deserving few, look around you. Take a deep breath and let in all of the abundance. Breathe the air (no limitations on that, right?). Look at your immediate environment. What do you see? Depending on the season and where you live, you&#8217;ll see leaves on the trees, snow on the ground, sand on the beach, grass on the lawns. Do you think God planned this amazing world and forgot to include the means for you to accomplish your purpose in life and to live your dreams?</p>
<p>I release all negative thoughts about money, and know that prosperity is my true state.</p>
<p>Your inner thoughts — what you say to yourself — make a big difference in your ability or inability to attract material wealth. When you consistently focus on negative thoughts you can count on attracting negativity into your life.</p>
<p>I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life.</p>
<p>There are two quotes that I absolutely love that relate to the issue of gratitude. The first is from Meister Eckhart, &#8220;If the only prayer you say in your life is &#8216;Thank you,&#8217; that would suffice.&#8221; The second quote is from the famous writer, Anonymous, who said, &#8220;If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can&#8217;t buy.&#8221;</p>
<p>I learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed. It&#8217;s been said that &#8220;God helps those who help themselves.&#8221; This is especially true in the area of finances. In my work with clients, I&#8217;ve seen a clear correlation between how well they manage their money and their ability to attract more. If this is difficult for you, ask for help.</p>
<p>Please help me use my skills to be of service in the world. You have a purpose in life. It is the thing about which you are excited, the thing you&#8217;d love to do if only you had a few million dollars and didn&#8217;t have to worry about money. When you are enthusiastic about something in your life, God is giving you a clue about the path to follow. The root of the word &#8220;enthusiasm&#8221; is from the Greek, &#8220;entheos.&#8221; It literally means, &#8220;God within.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thank you, God.</p>
<p>I know you are there to help me and I am grateful. Amen<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An old friend, Michael, wrote recently. He said he envied my life here in Bali, that he wished he had the courage to live similarly.</p>
<p>He wrote: I worry about finances, health insurance and all that crap. I wish I could free my mind of such things. Could I make ends meet?</p>
<p>Now, some of you reading this have taken the step that he’s afraid to take. You’ve broken out of some conditioning just to live – whether for a moment, a month or forever – outside of the culture in which you grew up.</p>
<p>And it’s all relative. For some, living in a different culture is easy, no challenge, doesn’t require courage. For others it’s huge.</p>
<p>Michael, like many people, has dug himself an early grave and he’s in it. Not buried. There’s still light. He could climb out anytime.</p>
<p>“I worry about finances and health insurance.”</p>
<p>He bought the package. Insurance companies make a fortune off the same fear that he’s living with. And let’s not be fooled, health care, real care, real health, is not their primary concern.</p>
<p>Regardless, there’s no benefit in demonizing the insurance companies. They’re simply doing what they do. Yet Michael is living his life two feet below the surface of the earth.</p>
<p>Of course it’s ‘normal’ to worry about such things. Lots of people do it. Yet what’s ‘normal’ is no better a barometer to what’s healthy or helpful than getting financial tips from a poor person. Worry is making him sick and poor.</p>
<p>I wish I could free my mind of all that crap, he writes.</p>
<p>‘Bullsh&amp;*%t,’ I respond. If he wanted to free his mind he would. As the saying goes ‘try is a lie.’</p>
<p>A couple of examples: “I wish I could have a great job that’s creatively satisfying, lucrative and stress-free.” Some reading this will agree: ‘I do wish that.’ Others, those who have this already, know that it’s not a matter of wishing it – though of course we must vision it first – it’s a matter of creating it. Possible or impossible?</p>
<p>A more obvious example: ‘I wish I could pick up that glass of coconut water.’ A clear example? It really is like Yoda said: “there is no try. There’s only do and don’t do.” If it’s not obvious yet, try it out – try to pick up the nearest object to you. Don’t pick it up, just try.</p>
<p>I’m not saying that it’s always easy, or happens instantly (though it could). Someone might have to work hard to create his or her dream job. It might take them years. The point is not the time, the point is the possibility. Anything is possible. Realizing that we can do whatever we want instantly brings us out of early graves.</p>
<p>Creating what we want is as easy as changing our beliefs. We can do that in an instant. Yet for many of us, it takes courage and power, it takes some momentum, to break out of the constraint of our inheritance, our conditioning.</p>
<p>Of course I understand Michael’s worries. Most everyone has feared there isn’t enough money, even people who’ve had plenty of money their whole life (especially them). That’s the thing. It’s so universally accepted that there isn’t enough money, everyone’s highly susceptible to believing it.</p>
<p>It comes down to a fear that we won’t be secure. Here’s a news flash: WE’RE NOT SECURE. We never will be. There’s no such thing as security. Life is insecure. No matter what we do to protect ourselves, to guarantee our future, we’re vulnerable to change. A tsunami, an earthquake, a stock market crash.</p>
<p>Here’s a good news flash: there’s no security, and there’s nothing to fear. Isn’t it true? Doesn’t something always work out?</p>
<p>Here’s what Helen Keller said about it:</p>
<p><em>Security is mostly a superstition.<br />
It does not exist in nature<br />
Nor do children as a whole experience it.<br />
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run<br />
Than outright exposure.<br />
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.<br />
To keep our faces toward change and<br />
Behave like free spirits in the presence of fate<br />
Is strength undefeatable.</em></p>
<p>Michael wrote that he appreciated my response to him, that it was like a ‘summer breeze.’</p>
<p>Now what will he do with it. Snooze?</p>
<p>Whether he climbs up to create the life he wants or not, it’s a reminder for us. Is there something in our lives that we lie to ourselves about and say is impossible? Are we living below our potential (below the ground)?</p>
<p>Alarm bells are ringing. Sometimes it’s a summer breeze and sometimes it’s an earthen tremble. Either brings the question what do we wish to create. The answer is up to us.</p>

<p>Daniel Aaron has devoted his life to the art of vibrant living. Awareness of our incredible potential for happiness, and that we are naturally encoded with everything we need to realize it, has led him on amazing personal and professional explorations in the fields of health and consciousness. From yoga with the modern masters, to world travel with enlightened teachers, to delving into radical nutrition and cleansing, this zest for life has resulted in a treasure chest of gems.</p>
<p>Now, thriving in Ubud, Bali he&#8217;s blessed to guide others to experience their maximum delight - through yoga, astrology, nutrition (raw food), writing, counseling, humor and whatever is holistically helpful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The universe I am referring to here is the entire cosmos &#8212; the entire cosmic consciousness. The vast realm of interconnected powerfully pulsating energy of everything that is good, bountiful, &amp; beautiful. You may call it God or the universal love. I believe in the pureness &amp; the power of love. I believe that this energy embodies everything that is good &amp; beautiful.</p>
<p>As you are one with this consciousness of good, bountiful &amp; beautiful, so is your life. You have everything that is good, your life is bountiful &amp; you have everything that is beautiful. In short, you are loved &amp; you are love.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.lifemagick.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/weareone.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>This interconnected consciousness is a source of power that never runs out. It is everlasting &amp; it is consistent. It does not discriminate, it just IS. Just learn to accept &amp; embrace your connection to the power source. Acknowledge that you are loved day in &amp; day out 24&#215;7x365 1/4 days!</p>
<p>It is also the nature of the universe to FLOW. In case you haven&#8217;t noticed we are always moving forward. A day turns into night, the sun rises, &amp; sets and it&#8217;s a brand new day. Since we are one with it, our nature too is to flow &#8212; improvement, progress, moving forward &amp; being free. It is against our very nature to be stuck in the past or be unable to live the life we are meant to live. We hinder our own progress by willingly constricting the flow of energy in our lives. If we choose not to move forward, the energy that accumulates in us is that of the past which maybe hurtful or negative.</p>
<p>The book <a href="http://www.lifemagick.net/magnet.html" target="_blank">Manifesting Your Heart&#8217;s Desire</a> cited a story about a girl who was watering the garden with a hose. The flow of the water suddenly stopped so she complained to her father.  The father said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t step on the hose.&#8221; So is our energy flow. We are deliberately stepping on our energy line if we continually live with the EGO rather than our SOUL.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Georgia;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Feng Shui!<span style="yes;"> </span>The mind boggles!<span style="yes;"> </span>Directions… a compass… the bagua… different interpretations- where to start- and to finish- in making sure you’ve got good <em>Chi</em>?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">It’s my intention, in 4 easy steps, to help you create a garden that welcomes new Harmony, Prosperity and success.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">How to do this?<span style="yes;"> </span>Simply, by putting in place the cornerstones of what good energy is attracted to in the garden.<span style="yes;"> </span>The basics of good feng shui can be created in 4 simple ways.<span style="yes;"> </span>From this base, feel your way to creating your own garden of personal taste and beauty.<span style="yes;"> </span>You’ll find Universal energy working for you and smoothing your path.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;">1.<span style="yes;"> </span>The original elements- Wind &amp; Water</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Any positive space has recreated the actual meaning of Feng Shui- wind and water.<span style="yes;"> </span>Indoors, this means there’s proper airflow in the home (wind) and there’s movement in every area- even regular dusting of an unused corner ensures that stagnation doesn’t happen.<span style="yes;"> </span>Water in the home means fluidity- that there’s nothing blocking up key movement areas, like things left in doorways.<span style="yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Outdoors, a Feng Shui garden will be tapping the elements Wind and Water, too.<span style="yes;"> </span>Wind can be tapped literally by hanging a windchime, using a windmill, flying a flag or using a weather-vane.<span style="yes;"> </span><em>But more importantly, the symbol of Wind present will mean that every area of the garden has a purpose and is busy doing something, or is regularly tended</em>.<span style="yes;"> </span>Water literally means that a fountain, water feature, pond, birdbath, sprinkler system or swimming pool has a place in every garden.<span style="yes;"> </span><em>And symbolically, there will be a flow to the garden- garden beds and paths curved or rounded, not square, or straight and sharp</em>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;">2.<span style="yes;"> </span>The Polar energies- Yin &amp; Yang</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Have you ever seen a<span style="yes;"> </span>Yin-Yang symbol?<span style="yes;"> </span>The balance of Yin and Yang underpins Feng Shui principle, and is essential to create an environment that continually attracts good chi.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Yin is the female- the dark, soft, evening energy.<span style="yes;"> </span>Yang is the loud, hard, bright, morning energy.<span style="yes;"> </span>Before we bring in a windchime or a water feature in, Feng Shui reminds us that the balance of the polar energies, Yin and Yang, is paramount. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">I want you to think of your own garden, at this time.<span style="yes;"> </span>A balance of Yin and Yang means that you’d have a mixture of small and large plants; hot spots and shady corners, plants that thrive in the harsh climate here and softer ones which you nurture in a different space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Only once you have your Yin and Yang in order, are you ready to use accessories or bring in new objects to create balance. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;">3.<span style="yes;"> </span>The Welcome Mat</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">By a welcome mat, we mean a clean, clutter-free environment.<span style="yes;"> </span>This is as relevant in the garden as it is indoors.<span style="yes;"> </span>We all know what a clean house entails.<span style="yes;"> </span>A clean garden is free of weeds and pests, as you deem them, and is neither too dry nor too wet.<span style="yes;"> </span>Hedges and bushes are neatly trimmed, borders are tidy, there’s no debris hanging around and accessories are neatly organized.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;">4.<span style="yes;"> </span>Positive Plants</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">There are three reasons why a plant can be considered good feng shui; you may divide Feng Shui plants, then, into 3 categories. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">There are plants that, through symbolism, represent good fortune to the Chinese, whether by word association or image; 2, plants that absorb pollutants and/or electromagnetic radiation, and 3, plants which offer Sheng Chi, or good energy, with soft, round leaves, as opposed to those which create Sha Chi, or poison arrows, with sharp leaves or spikes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">The first category of plants offers good feng shui because of their meaning in Chinese culture.<span style="yes;"> </span>Fish in feng shui are a symbol of abundance because, in Chinese, the word is Yu, which sounds like a similar word for riches.<span style="yes;"> </span></span><span style="Arial;">Oranges</span><span style="Arial;"> and tangerines are given as gifts at Chinese new year because the words for these fruits sound like “luck” and “wealth”.<span style="yes;"> </span>So a plant may be considered good feng shui by association.<span style="yes;"> </span>This is the case with the Jade plant.<span style="yes;"> </span>It’s recommended to place a jade plant at every door to your home to invite wealth chi in and encourage it to linger longer.<span style="yes;"> </span>The ancient Chinese believed the jade plant to symbolize emeralds; hence it’s association with wealth to this day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">The second category of plants can be considered good feng shui for a more modern reason.<span style="yes;"> </span>Particular plants have been proven to be especially effective at absorbing pollutants and electro-magnetic radiation in an environment, and because of their abilities to transform negative to positive chi, these plants can be classified as good feng shui.<span style="yes;"> </span>Some of the most effective include:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"><br />
• Peace lilies- which absorb toxicity and electromagnetic radiation (EMR)<br />
• Date palms- they absorb xylene, which can be omitted by some art supplies and petroleum storage<br />
• Ficus plants- absorb formaldehyde, which all interior surfaces and industrial areas omit; they’re especially good in offices.<br />
• English Ivy- thrives in a spot of high earth radiation and a good absorber of EMR<br />
• Baby’s tears, aka Irish Moss, an excellent de-charger, and you’ll feel your tension dissipate as you hold your hands over it’s soft leaves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">The third category of plants reason for being auspicious takes us back to the underlying principles of feng shui; creating a flow of positive <em>chi</em>.<span style="yes;"> </span>Feng Shui believes that negative energy is created in an environment through the presence of poison arrows- sharp corners, exposed edges and pointed objects.<span style="yes;"> </span>These sharp corners cut into positive chi and create friction.<span style="yes;"> </span>Hence, plants such as Cacti, with their spikes, and sharp-leaved varietals, are not considered good feng shui for the poison arrows they create.<span style="yes;"> </span>Conversely, all plants with soft, rounded leaves are excellent feng shui, such Banana or Rubber plants.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Outside, citrus trees are auspicious because of the fruit they bear.<span style="yes;"> </span>Plants with spiky leaves should be kept well away from doors to the home where they may “cut up” the positive chi that enters.<span style="yes;"> </span>In addition, every home seeking luck should have a bamboo plant- for bamboo</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">sounds like “prayer” in Chinese.<span style="yes;"> </span>Its flexible stalks also represent good health in old age, making it a welcome symbolic (as well as a low maintenance) gift to somebody elderly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;">Not one of these three steps is rocket science; it’s almost obvious that to have a clean environment and healthy plants throughout garden will promote balance. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="Arial;">So,<span style="yes;"> </span>just to recap:<span style="yes;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<ol style="0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="Arial;">Get your yin and yang- dark and light, in balance.<span style="yes;"> </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="Arial;">Get your Feng- wind, or movement- and Shui- water, or fluidity- present. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="Arial;"><span style="yes;"> </span>Make sure your garden is tidy and clutter free, and,</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="Arial;"><span style="yes;"> </span>Have the above-mentioned auspicious plants working for you.<span style="yes;"> </span></span></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="Arial;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many people just learning about The Law of Attraction who say they wish they had learned it when they were younger. &#8220;Oh how different their life would be!&#8221; they exclaim.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to tell you that it is never too late to learn or to reap the benefits of this wonderful way of thinking.</p>
<p>The perfect example of this is a recent episode that was on Oprah Winfrey‘s show. She was doing a follow-up on The Secret and more ways people could learn to use the Law of Attraction in their lives.</p>
<p>She had as one of her guests, Louise Hay. Talk about inspiring! Louise Hay did not start learning about the Law of Attraction until she was 50 years old. However, now at 81 she has accomplished more within the last 30 years than most people accomplish in their entire lifetimes! (Not to mention she also looks awesome!)</p>
<p>Louise Hay is a best selling author as well as the extremely successful publisher of Hay House books. If you have purchased any best selling Law of Attraction books over the last 10 years or so, you might be very familiar with the name.</p>
<p>This is a woman who has an extremely difficult upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years were marked by abuse.</p>
<p>She went through a divorce after 14 years of marriage and when later in life she was diagnosed with cancer, she put her philosophies into practice and instead of using surgery or drugs, developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing and psychotherapy. Within six months she was cancer free.</p>
<p>In 1984 she published her book titled You Can Heal Your Life based on her own experiences and included the information she talked about in her work shops. It explains how our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies and how, by using certain tools, we can change our thinking and our lives for the better.</p>
<p>It reached the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for 13 consecutive weeks.</p>
<p>To date, over 35,000,000 copies of the books have been sold. But she didn&#8217;t stop there. She then became the head of Hay House , a prosperous corporation that has sold more than ten million books and tapes since it started. It includes authors such as Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, among others. This was a venture she started in her living room.</p>
<p>She then proceeded to start the Hay Foundation and The Louise L. Hay Charitable Fund, two non-profit organizations established by Louise that support many diverse organizations, including those dealing with AIDS, battered women, and other challenged individuals in our society.</p>
<p>Now at 81 years old, she had just come out with her first movie release titled, You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s do a quick rundown shall we?</p>
<p>Unstable and poor childhood Abused as a teenager Divorced after 14 years of marriage Diagnosed with Cancer (though this was later in life)<br />
Learns about the Law of Attraction at age 50</p>
<p>Starts training in a ministerial program Becomes a popular speaker at a Religious Science church and starts counseling clients Lectures at workshops on people loving themselves and healing their lives Cures herself of cancer through alternative means Publishes her own New York Times Bestseller and sells over 35,000,000 copies Forms &#8220;The Hayride&#8221; , a famous support group for people with AIDS Starts her own publishing house with some of the greatest Law of Attraction writers today Starts two non-profit organizations in her name Contributes tons of articles to newspapers and magazine articles Appears on television around the world Has a monthly column titled &#8220;Dear Louise&#8221; that appears in more than 50 publications around the world At 81years old, releases her first-ever film on her life and work You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie</p>
<p>So, if you ever had a single doubt about all the different ways the Law of Attraction could work for you, or had a moments hesitation about how old you are when you are beginning to learn it, look to this wonderfully inspirational woman.</p>
<p>It is never too late. Think about it. Isn&#8217;t even just one day lived in complete peace worth it? Now just imagine doing it for the rest of your lifetime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This meditation requires meditative music.</p>
<p>I personally use this meditation and it helps me relax. The effect is almost instantaneous. I am sharing this in the hope that it will help you too. Just try it, if you do not like it then delete it from your hard drive.</p>
<p>The most profound effect of this technique to me is that I feel as if my body is one with everything else. It is almost as if my hand can go through my face, or through the furniture.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
WARNING: Do not use this product if you have psychotic tendencies or history of mental disorder (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder).</span></p>
<p>Read the step by step guide first before starting. They are simple and you do not have to memorize anything.</p>
<p>Here is the step by step guide:</p>
<p>1.    Choose a meditation music you like. <a href="http://www.imanifest.info/index.php?act=viewCat&amp;catId=5" target="_blank">You can select your music here</a>.</p>
<p>2.    Find a room where you can be alone for 5 to 10 minutes.</p>
<p>3.    It is recommended that you use a headphone.</p>
<p>4.    You can sit down or you can stand in the middle of the room.</p>
<p>5.    Relax. Breathe Deeply.</p>
<p>6.    Play the music. Close your eyes as the music starts.</p>
<p>7.    Imagine yourself ONE with the music. BLEND yourself with the melody of the song. Feel as if you FLOW with each note. Don’t forget to breathe. Don’t hold back, just FLOW.</p>
<p>8.    Move your arms gracefully with the rhythm of the song. Let them dance! Flow with the music.</p>
<p>9.    You can also move your body and dance to the music. Flow with the music.</p>
<p>10.    Loss yourself in the music.</p>
<p>Remember, the key here is to FLOW</p>

<p>The SOUL is</p>

<p>&#8230; always secure</p>
<p>With your true being, you have an unshakable confidence in yourself. You know you are a complete being and sharing yourself is an act out of true love and not out of selfishness.</p>
<p>Your every action is selfless &amp; yet you drive satisfaction by doing it.</p>
<p>Every moment is lived to the fullest, with purpose and you spent enjoying it.</p>
<p>Energy flows freely, purely &amp; powerfully.</p>
<p>Every moment is magical &amp; creative.</p>
<p>Giving is easy because you know you have so much.</p>
<p>Love is your reason for your every action.</p>
<p>One can never truly point where the soul is located and one can never fully understand it unless one lives with the soul. It is you, &amp; at the same time so much greater than you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been going through a huge mind-shift in the last couple of months. I don’t knot if it is since the last full moon in March 2008, where a lot of spontaneous healing took place regarding inner child work, if it has to do with the Ph D in metaphysics that I am currently studying, or if it perhaps has to do with having won my local speech contest as part of my dream of becoming a motivational speaker… but the truth is that my mind has shifted from a place where self-doubt would eat away at my courage to do new things, to a place where I can command my thoughts and not pay attention to that debilitating fear whenever I am faced with a new challenge.</p>
<p>The other day my husband came home saying that they were going to rise petrol prices, yet again, and in quite a considerable amount. He then proceeded to go on to say how scientists now know that it is too late to avoid the melt down of the Poles, that all that can be done is to slow it down, that the sea levels will rise and that resources of the Earth will be all but run out within the next 50 years.</p>
<p>I heard him. I know the story, We all know the story.</p>
<p>Thank God we have a little car and at the moment it is not that expensive to fill it up. Yes, we do try to do our best to conserve energy. Yes, we are conscious of recycling, organic food, not wasting resources (especially water), and have only one child as our contribution to this overpopulated world.</p>
<p>If I had been my old self, automatically a feeling of fear and despair would have taken me over and it would have taken me quite a while to overcome it. I would maybe have even shed a few tears and would have had to sit down for a while in order to put myself together emotionally, or have a bath, or go for a walk, or meditate. My mind would have run far away into my daughter’s future and I would have felt so sad for what she might have to endure…</p>
<p>But my new mindset, newly-achieved thought control attitude, kicked in straight away and I told him:<br />
“Yes, this is real. But I believe that we live in a holographic world and that really what you believe comes true. All you will ever have is the power of your thoughts to command in order to create the reality you want to experience. Start training your mind so that all what you have just mentioned may never have to be experienced by us”.</p>
<p>For the first time he stayed quiet. He did hear me and nodded. In the past, his law-and-finance mindset would simply look at the proof and nothing I could say would make him shift this perspective. However, as I said, there has been a lot of inner child healing since the last March full moon and he was ready, this time, to come along to the light and become light himself.</p>
<p>And so when I won the local speech contest in my Toastmasters club, I immediately visualized representing my club in the area contest. Usually, in the past, I would fear the event and would hope and wish to win this second series, especially because I am really focused on becoming a motivational speaker and this could be a great opportunity. Yet, this time, I turned my thinking around and said out loud “I am a winner”; that no matter whatever I do, I am right on track towards my life missions, whether it looks as winning or loosing, success or failure. That, at some level, I have attracted the necessary lesson for my growth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Release Fear, Doubt &amp; Worry" href="http://www.lifemagick.net/affiliate/jrox.php?uid=lifemagick_1_bid_27_1237"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.lifemagick.net/affiliate/image.php?bid=27&amp;mid=104" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>That my words carry the intention of transmuting negativity into positive energy, therefore, whenever I have an opportunity to speak in public, I win. Dr Wayne W. Dyer says in The Power of Intention that “one individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of optimism and a willingness to be non-judgmental of others will counterbalance the negativity of 90,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels”. So, in my mind, I am doing a great service beyond the material and social standards of success. Beyond fame and name, I am spiritually successful by counterbalancing or canceling out the energy of so many individuals who live in fear of scarcity and who believe that “you must take before someone else takes from you”. Just the mentality that is raiding the earth from its resources!?</p>
<p>Two days ago I received a call, out of the blue, from a magazine editor who wanted to offer me a job as a freelance writer and sub-editor. I was over the moon! It was my dream job.<br />
But in the past I had written for this magazine and I had been warned this individual was not very trust-worthy. As it was, although originally the idea was that there were tight deadline requirements, they needed me desperately and I should start working straight away, a few days passed by and I wasn’t contacted about when and where to start such job.</p>
<p>In the past, I would have been a bundle of nerves. I would have despaired and would have been very angry at being let down or this individual not being very professional, or many other like judgments. However this time, I stated to the Universe that I am not that desperate for anything (that’s to say, I don’t have a need for this job, even if it is my dream job, a very powerful place to be!).</p>
<p>In the past, I would have been thinking about it all the time: what if scenarios, right and wrong discussions, the Universe is not being fair on me again self-pity statements, etc. We all do it! Very disempowering thoughts. However, this time, I stated to the Universe that I would not GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT! Literally! Since my energy is mine to give or not to give.</p>
<p>Firstly, I turned my old thinking on its head and I stated From now on, I only work with people with integrity.<br />
Secondly, I thought that the Universe was giving me the present of letting me know that my writing is ready for the world, that somebody was prepared to pay me for my services as a writer and sub-editor, therefore I could see myself at this level.</p>
<p>Thirdly, I knew that if this opportunity had been aborted, it meant that at some level it was not in my best interest for spiritual growth, so I told myself that my guides had blocked it from reaching me and that something better was on its way to me. A lesson in acceptance of what it is, as it is. And a lesson in self-acceptance: I stated to myself that I will accept my creation, exactly as it is, even when I don’t understand it or when it doesn’t seem to be a positive one.</p>
<p>And so, one can see, that we are free to choose our thoughts and that our attitude shapes our destiny.</p>
<p>I command the energy of my thoughts is a statement or affirmation that I currently use and will continue to do so until my whole psychic has shifted into this new level of personal power and spiritual understanding. Maybe not very comforting for the ego… but truly very liberating!</p>
