Amazing Coffee Worth Trying

By Simon Reese

I live in New York, home to some of the best food in the world. The same can be said about coffee too. There are so many great makers of coffee in this city that it's sometimes hard to keep up with them all.

It was just last week when I stumbled upon my favorite new coffee. In fact, this is the best coffee I've ever tried in my life. That's a really bold statement when you consider how much coffee I actually drink.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters is a Portland chain with a very homegrown approach. While they've maintained a limited number of locations, the company's owner recently relocated to Brooklyn, bringing about a few new locations in the New York area.

I've stuck to the regular coffee so far, and that's seriously all I've needed in order to be sold. I'm hooked on it, and the iced and hot varieties are both fantastic. I've heard that the cappuccino is phenomenal as well.

Stumptown wins bonus points for the fact that their prices are extremely reasonable. In fact, the prices are just about what you'd expect to pay for any cup of coffee at a coffee house. A large coffee is three dollars, and they've included tax in their prices.

Amazingly, Stumptown Coffee Roasters almost has a cult-like following. Those who've tried it swear by the brand and refuse to drink any other kind of coffee.

I've seen people on both the East coast and the West coast claiming that Stumptown brews the best coffee they've ever had. It's rare to find a brand that wins such universal acclaim, especially in coffee cities like Seattle.

Make it a point to get to a Stumptown if you live in a city with a location. While there aren't many of them, it's worth the small trip if it requires a few extra minutes of your time. - 31877

Reasons To Use Speed Reading

By Jay Polmar

People sometimes get frustrated because they fall behind when reading and learning due to the huge amounts of reading material they must absorb for school or work. So many books are being written worldwide, that readers sometimes have difficulty keeping up with the production of fiction and non-fiction works. It can be really amazing trying to keep up with it all " dont you think.

In the speedily changing and highly competitive business world, with new products and services, and new upgrades introduced every week, speed reading really comes in handy. Most corporate millionaires now read two or three business related books every week. Thats a lot of work for those unfortunates who dont have speed reading abilities.

SPEED READING enables people to learn up to twice or three times what they normally read in the same time.

Reading researchers in the past determined that the brain is competent of comprehending and cataloguing from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute. The length of a unit is about one word. The bodys five senses are receptors for data, which it transfers to the subconscious mind to be recorded for posterity. When the conscious mind needs information, it is recalled from the subconscious. Then it surfaces the necessary data for processing and use, much like a computer.

An interactivity exists between the brain, which well just imagine is the computer CPU, and the mind which consists of thoughts and memories. All data gets processed in such a way that we can learn it.

The data that we receive, process and evaluate comes from our five physical senses. With that data, our mind makes decisions, choices and judgments. We learn through our five senses (i.e. sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste), which are already pre-programmed to respond automatically.

A good example of pre-programmed response: Consider the example of the teen boy who smells pizza and what his reaction is. It is similar to Pavlovs dog, because his senses send a message to the brain in the form of a brainwork.

The perception of sensing our favorite food is a mental exercise, compared to the reaction of swallowing which is physical. Therefore, brain and mind is where the action is and the body is where the reaction is.

Learning this method of speed reading will encourage the use of three of the five senses. That is a method that will strongly influence your mind to remember, recall and understand; beyond that, well teach you techniques for becoming a better and more efficient reader.

Follow the instructions and you will become a speed reader who loves to read and improve the quality of his or her own life. We expect great, positive successes from you with great improvements in many areas of your life.

Statistics: The average American high school graduate (I know this sounds strange, but many are graduating without the ability to read at an eighth grade level), reads at about 200 words per minute. A college student reads 20% faster at 300 words per minute. It does not matter what your baseline or beginning reading speed is, your potential reading speed after using these techniques will be faster and your potential is truly unlimited. This is because scientists who have researched the human brain/mind agree that our potential is unlimited. Double-triple-quadruple your reading speed, theres no limit.

You can expect to learn how to get your greatest potentials as a reader, business person, student, etc. This is because youre becoming an avid speed reader and a complete success in life.

Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading will help you become totally unlimited in your power and ability to do, be, and have all that you want in life, whether its great grades or financial success. Dr. Jay Polmar is the Master of the art of speed learning, accelerated learning and speed reading and has helped over 100,000 students worldwide become perfect learning machines. - 31877

The Power Of Lucid Dreams

By Gary Scraysbrook

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

There are no limits to what you can experience through lucid dreams. You can be the star of a romantic fantasy novel, or high action adventure, you can control the outcome or change the endings to what makes you happiest.

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

One way to make sure that you are dreaming is to attempt reading a book or paper. If you are dreaming your words are sure to change and make reading impossible. If you can't read then it's a lucid dream.

There are times that you like someone and want to be with someone. However, it might not be possible in reality but it is definitely possible in a lucid dream. You can even date and marry a Hollywood star in a lucid dream.

In lucid dreams you can decide the kind of events that can happen. Let's say you are dreaming that you are with a person you desire to be with. In your dream that person can smile at you and even touch you. In fact in your dream, that person can do anything you want him to do!

Lucid dreams are very much possible. Though the body needs to revive itself for the next day by sleeping and resting, it is possible for your mind to be partly conscious.

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

Trying to remember your dreams and what they were about, who was in them and the outcome is a good way to start. Dream interpreters say to keep a pad and pen by handy so that you waste no time jotting down your images as soon as you remember them or awaken. It is possible the dream will repeat its self and you can finish writing it down. If you document your lucid dreams as you go, you may start to see a pattern develop over a period of time.

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

You need to make it habit to recall each and every detail about your dream. Once you do that, try sleeping again and if possible try to start the dream where you left and continue your dream from there. The dreams will repeat themselves so you can delve into more details every time that happens.

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

With practice it will become easier each passing day. Self hypnosis is also a great way to enhance your lucid dreaming experience.

Another shortcut worth mentioning is a recent development in sound technology called binaural beats. These special frequencies work by synchronizing the two hemispheres of the brain and almost instantly put your brainwaves into the state required for lucid dreaming to be possible. - 31877

A Complete Guide To Lucid Dreams

By Gary Scraysbrook

Did you know that there exist some kinds of dreams which you can actually control while being aware that you are dreaming? These dreams are known as lucid dreams. In such dreams you are dreaming but you can direct your dreams like a movie. You can decide the actors, the setting and even the story! You can even decide the dialogues!

Your dreams can be a fantasy, adventure or mystery. Anything you want. There are no limits to what you can experience!

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

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

You may be having a fantasy about someone you want to be with. This may be impossible in real life, but of course anything is possible when you are lucid dreaming.

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

Is it physically possible to experience lucid dreams? Yes! There is a biological need for the body to sleep, to rest and prepare for another days activities, it is a relatively simple step for part of your mind to remain conscious while your body is resting.

Lucid dreaming needs some techniques which can be learnt by some practice and patience.

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

Writers will often use this technique to line up their next novel, using some of the scenes and characters from the lucid dream as the basis for the storyline. Lucid dreaming is a good outlet to channel your ambitions to come up with an action plan to make them a reality.

You can sometimes continue the dream where you left off, if you wake up, recall everything you can about your dream, and go back to sleep. Lucid dreams have been found to have a pattern, so chances are you will be able to recall more each time as it reaches a conclusion to your liking.

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

With practice it will become easier each passing day. Self hypnosis is also a great way to enhance your lucid dreaming experience.

You can sometimes put your mind into the mode of lucid dreaming using other techniques, such as binaural beats, which are a recent development in sound technology. By using sound waves to put parts of the brain responsible for lucid dreaming to work to instantly put you into the lucid dream condition and help you recall lucid dreams. - 31877

Christmas Shopping Tips

By Frank Williams

Christmas shopping can be seen as an absolute thrill or as a compulsory evil. It is a thrill to be out and about amid the sights and sounds of the season and the cheerful crowds. But for the same reasons, others fear shopping at Christmas time. These days, you do not need to leave your home much or at all to get your Christmas and holiday shopping completed. That is because the Internet puts shopping at your fingertips and rather than competing with traditional retail stores, the Internet has in fact expanded the ability of traditional stores to sell more products to a bigger number of people in a bigger number of places.

Both large and small retailers can be found at their specialized Web sites on the Internet. Most will also offer items that can be found in the store. However, online retail sites will frequently have additional items for sale, or access to additional products, that are not yo be found in the store.

Another advantage of shopping on the Internet is that it gives admission to stores located anywhere in the world. It has consequently become simpler to order a unique gift from a niche or specialty boutique store in locations that you otherwise would not be able to reach. It is also easy to do comparison shopping using 'shop bots' or simply by comparing prices yourself.

If Christmas shopping is done through the Internet, you have to pay careful heed to the order times and any cut-off dates to get an item delivered in time for Christmas. Based on likely volume, most sites will give a date or the number of hours within which orders have to be confirmed for assured delivery of the products before Christmas.

The mall is a well-liked place for traditional Christmas and holiday shopping. Precincts offer one-stop shopping and have a huge assortment of merchandise, which can reduce the tedious searching of dozens of stores for some exclusive item. The stores will also be beautifully garlanded for Christmas, have splendid displays and a Santa Claus to interact with children. These and other activities that are usually at the mall during Christmas and the holidays also make them an attractive place to take children to take pleasure in some of the season's delights.

To maximum benefit from shopping at the mall, you will need to know the differences between the precinct department stores. You will need to find out which stores have exclusive brands, which stores are reasonably priced and which are more up-market.

There are also the specialty stand-alone stores and spinoff store branches for children and teenagers that try to fill a specific niche. As an example, stores have emerged that carry only styles associated with hip-hop culture or styles that have an 'urban' look. So it may be worthwhile commencing your shopping at a specialty store, because they are more focused, and then continue onto a department store that has a wider assortment.

Another interesting place to shop in precincts are the stand-alone kiosks that are often located at intervals in the open areas of a precinct where there is a lot of foot traffic. These kiosks are more likely to carry one-of-a kind items, which can provide ideas for Christmas gifts.

Also at malls will be specialized shops that offer home/household products, books, music and movies, electronics, sports gear and shoes.

All of the types of precinct stores previously mentioned can also be found at Outlet or Factory Precincts or Warehouses, which offer lower prices. These stores frequently carry clearance products from their associated precinct store, merchandise with minor flaws and merchandise that is made for the outlet. Those items of merchandise frequently have minor style variations from what is found in precinct stores and may also be made from different materials.

A final place to mull over for Christmas shopping is downtown businesses. They are usually small and personal, have unique offerings and offer more personalized support. Although downtown businesses are also likely to be crowded at Christmas time, there is likely to be less of a crush of people than that found at the malls. - 31877

Train Journeys in San Francisco

By Colin Jones

One of the greatest things about visiting San Francisco is the being near to some fantastic attractions. You can stay in one city yet visit several. You get not only the conveniences of the city, but the beauty of nature is not far away from almost any point within the city. In fact, a short train ride will take you quickly to some nearby attractions that are definitely worth checking out.

One of the first train trips I want to talk about is not only a train trip but a bus and train tour. This tour goes from San Francisco to Yosemite Park. This excursion requires transfers back and forth from bus to train but offers some stunning scenery and the ability to get pleasure from it without the anxiety of driving, rest stops and the need to stretch your legs.

Sometimes a little hassle is worth a lot more convenience later in your trip. The train portion of the trip lasts about three hours and you get to spend three hours in Yosemite. For some it is not worth the hassle and for others it is just what the doctor ordered - time to rest and relax while on the way. This is by far the most complicated of the train tours heading out of San Francisco.

The second tour is to wine country. The beauty of these tours is in the fact that you can enjoy your wine tasting event without the anxiety of who is going to drive. Everyone in your group can enjoy the outing equally. Even more than that however, is that many tour groups have made the train ride itself more the event than the wine tasting.

With offerings such as four course meals and Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre for your entertainment it is no surprise that this has turned out to be an occasion of choice for many excursionists to San Francisco. While this may be a more than somewhat pricey option, it is well worth the cost. You can always cut overheads somewhere else in San Francisco to make up for the expense.

Roaring Camp Railroads provides two train rides that are both equally tempting in vastly different ways. The first is a trip back in time. This is almost certainly my preference. On this excursion you travel to the top of Bear Mountain while listening to yarns about Roaring Camp's part. This train trip lasts for an hour and is great fun, particularly for the little ones.

The second offering by Roaring Camp Railroads is the Beach Train, which will take you to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The round trip from Roaring Camp to Santa Cruz and back is about three hours and well worth every penny if you have a budding engineer among your children.

Perhaps the most magical of train excursions is the Christmas Train trip from Oakdale. This tour includes Santa, his elves and a little Christmas magic. What more could you ask for? Well, I suppose that that depends on whether you made the naughty list or the nice list. This train ride is magic for everyone that joins it, young and old alike will enjoy the magic that only Christmas can bring.

Whether you are a big kid, a little kid, or somewhere in between, I am ready to wager that the magic of a train ride has not been totally lost over the years. In fact, I am willing to bet that if you allow yourself to sit back and just enjoy yourself, you will enjoy the journey as much as the destination. - 31877

Insights into Simplifying Life

By Hans S Delane

In between having a career one must also stop to introspect that what kind of life we are actually leading. One feels overjoyed while rushing between meetings the whole day, but it can be tiring also. What type of life do we want then?

Try and figure out what you like the most. Family members and friends can provide support during troubling times but once in a while, take out time to undertake adventure, fun, and care-freeness, which will make you realize that there is much work than work in life. Appreciate and understand what is happening around you by taking out more time.

Simplify your life and do not only reinvent your life. Think of what is of greatest importance to you, architect your life around those core values, and remove all the clutter that doesn't serve any purpose. At the outset, think of what really important and before you start getting to simplify things, decide on what qualifies as a high quality life.

We have a consumerist attitude of living life, which tends to contradict the whole idea of simplifying life. As we keep living, we tend to accumulate more and more over a period of time and the world thinks that we are extremely interested in possessing objects and material wealth. It could be more than the physical items as well. One could be collecting activities also. This behavior makes us like a rat, which is always racing from one experience to another. Even though, this gives us importance and desire to be possessed, we are not always happy and satisfied.

From the plethora of stuff has emerged a movement of simplicity. We look like a hamster on a wheel when we keep working constantly. Majority of our income goes in meeting our expenses and we only save a little. The thought that life is short should be on the back of our mind.

We all need to architect an end goal, which will make us attain happiness. This principle can be applied in the day to day schedule. Take out time in your daily routine for new opportunities. One can attain effective time management, which is all about doing lesser things of great importance. Aptly, living a simple life is a philosophy.

Living life simply means unburdening our lives and making it more light and clean. The goal should be to create more rounded, simple and lateral relationships with all the key aspects of our life: which includes the activities we accomplish, bonding with people in our contact and our connections with the world at large. This is in a profound sense a life which is straight on the outside and rich inside.

Simple living can translate into simple things like managing your garden, walking in the park or reading good stuff. The goal is to reduce the material possessions in order to ensure that you are not in haste. One good way of getting rid of commotion is by focusing more on the world around you. The society believes that life is all about amassing wealth and authority. For people who lead a simple life, know that everyone needs time to ponder, introspect and play. Contentment and happiness is beyond wealth and power. - 31877

Key To Better Lifestyle The Hcg Diet Renton Washington

By Jude Trapp

If you are looking for a quick way to lose weight, the HCG diet Renton Washington may be the right way to lose the weight that you need to lose quickly.

HCG is a human hormone, Human Chorio Gonadotropin. This hormone is produced naturally in the bodies of both men and women and is highest in the bodies of pregnant women. The hormone is often used to increase women's ovulation and men's sperm count. In the diet, the injections are given daily.

According to the diet plan, sticking to this diet and taking the HCG on a daily basis, many participants have reported reaching their goal weight. Participants expect to lose one-half to three pounds every day when on the plan. The diet is very low-calorie and very high in fiber. In fact, participants can only eat 500 calories per day. They are not even allowed to wear make-up because of the fat that is in the ingredients.

The foods allowed are also very restricted. Breakfast is only coffee or tea. No sugar is allowed and only one tablespoon of milk is allowed per day. Both lunch and diner can include the same ingredients, 100 grams or just under one-quarter pound of lean meat and one vegetable from a very strict list. In addition, there is one serving of fruit from another limited list.

According to proponents, this diet and the hormone leads to immediate loss of weight and no hunger pains, nausea or headaches. HCG is said to help burn fat so that the body gets the energy it needs and is kept out of the starvation mode.

HCG can be administered either orally or through injection of the liquid. The hormone is injected just under the skin or into the muscle.

HCG is said to cause the hypothalamus to order the body to command fat to be released from the body's storage system. This released fat energy is combined with the food energy in order to give the body sufficient energy and avoid going into the starvation mode.

When the participant reaches his or her goal weight, they move to the maintenance phase. After living on the 500 calorie diet, the eating patterns should have been adjusted for the rest of the life so that maintenance is made easier for the dieter.

Before starting any diet, you should speak with your personal physician. There are certain risk factors that prevent persons from using this diet to lose weight. - 31877

Dealing With Depression

By Jane Sullivan Daniels

Everyone goes through difficult times in their lives and these difficult times can take their toll on your psychological wellbeing, especially is you are not particularly strong mentally and have fairly weak willpower. People who are psychologically weak often have a tough time getting out of depression when they suffer from it. The best way to deal with it is to take action in the early stages.

All of us do get depressed sometime or the other, but for some people, depending on what has happened to them, dealing with depression becomes impossible. They just get engulfed into a negative thought process just like a man losing himself in quick sand. Yes, this is indeed dangerous and people who are mentally unequipped do go into a state of shock which could lead to a physical problem like coma.

Many doctors have said that people suffering from depression should seek out the company of people who are generally funny and take life in their stride keeping a light heart. However, dealing with depression often leaves people completely baffled as to how to get out of it. There are many reasons why people become depressed.

One of the most common reasons that people go into depression is the loss of a loved one and if the depression is not dealt with in the early stages, it can get deeper and deeper and can sometimes change someone's personality altogether.

The most common symptoms of a depressed person are more silence than usual, an expressionless face, negative thinking and hesitation. Some people can come out of depression on their own if they know what to do and the state of mind you must get into. If a depressed person has strong will power and are determined to feel better, then they must start to conjure positive thoughts about everything and everyone they see, however, this does take a lot of will power and strength of mind, for people that can't manage this, they must go and see a doctor or psychologist in order to avoid sinking further into the depression. - 31877

Fall Asleep Fast With These Approaches

By Michael Pratt

If you've ever dealt with a night where you can't fall asleep, you know the agony and the stress that it can cause. Once in a while, I face this problem and I absolutely hate it.

Sleeplessness is absolutely frustrating and it can seriously impact one's life. Everyone needs an adequate amount of sleep in order to function properly, and symptoms of insomnia can very easily ruin one's day. Not only will your body be run down, but your mind will have difficulty functioning too.

How do you get around this? There's so much advice out there, but none of it seems to work. What can you do to fix this dilemma?

There's always the medicinal route. There are both over the counter solutions and prescription medications. In either case, you should definitely consult a doctor about this before deciding to take this approach.

A second thing that you could do is to read in bed. I see this as a win-win situation in my mind. First of all, I'll generally get tired and my eyes will become heavy when I'm reading at night.

You'll even find that it's easier to fall asleep when you're reading something boring. The more boring the book, the better. And should I happen to stay awake somehow, at least I've been productive with my time as I've learned something!

When I do this, I get the biggest benefit of all. My mind is no longer fixated on the fact that I'm awake and not sleeping, and this is the absolute key to falling asleep at night.

Do whatever you can not to think about the fact that you can't fall asleep. The more your mind is fixated on this simple thing, the more trouble you're likely to run into. Weird how that works, but it's absolutely true. - 31877

Celebrities Find Time To Make A Cosmic Order

By Carole Stracken

A great deal of attention has recently been placed on Cosmic Ordering. Scores of individuals place their own cosmic order. However, the question is, does it work in reality?

Nearly everyone has heard of the secret and the law of attraction. However, you may like to know that cosmic order is more specific and permits you to have that which you desire.

If you could have the desires of your heart, what would you order into your life today? Is it your wish to be in perfect health, is it wealth and material items you wish or do you want a perfect mate? All of these things are free for the taking by asking for them when you employ the cosmic order system.

It really does seem to work, according to the multitudes of individuals the world over who swear by it as well as a large number of celebrity endorsements. Nevertheless, what really happens when you place your cosmic order? Moreover, why does it not work for everyone?

The process is simple and yet many fail to reap the rewards that they want. There are several reasons for this. One is that they still have the old belief system that there is not enough to go around for everyone.

There is abundance out there for everyone; however, some may never receive it no matter how hard they may try to do so. This happens because some believe it is short supply and they reason that the success of others depletes the amount available. They then become angry with or jealous of those who are able to draw from these universal resources.

This belief will actually block the rewards that they desire. This then signals the brain once again that there will never be enough for them to have anything. The Universe is signaled, while consequently fulfilling this prophecy by such brain activity.

Another reason that many are not successful deals with holding on to a belief that there is not enough for them to share in the success. They may get excited for others; however, they hold no such belief for their own success. For instance, you may overhear someone buying a lottery ticket say, I never win anything. This helps them not to become so disappointed, since they hold a belief that some higher power will fulfill their desire for success by acknowledging their own current lack.

It doesnt work that way. You make the cosmic order and with a simple phrase decide your destiny.

Thirdly, many do not receive that which they desire, because they have no real belief that they deserve their desires. Their desires are blocked. Then the phenomenon of what is possible while placing a cosmic order depends upon their belief of their uniqueness and desire as well as their ability to obtain their desires holds no universal value.

When you find that, you are lacking in your beliefs you must do some serious reprogramming. You must begin to acknowledge that you are special and essential as an individual, while removing your old system of beliefs. Remember, we are all equal and none is better than the other is.

A divine right to happiness, wealth and health, belongs to all earthly creatures. However, you must release the past and believe that you do deserve your desires.

When you have the right tools, this is an easy thing to do. The concept has been proven by scientific studies. Quantum physics reveals a smidgeon of the common sense behind the secret that has escaped man for centuries.

You can ensure that cosmic order is successful for drawing your desires to you. Essentially, you should remain positive. Making positive affirmations, self-hypnosis and meditation are helpful.

You can instantly change the state of your mind in order to communicate with the universe, by using special sound frequencies known as binaural tones, which are recent developments in sound technology. You notice quicker results by using this technology to aid you in clearing away your old beliefs much quicker.

At one time, only true believers of a religious sect or mystics were those who used the cosmic order system. However, today, everyone can take advantage of all these possibilities. You can achieve your desires while uniting science and the wisdom of the ancients. - 31877

Develop Your Clairvoyance Powers

By Declan Dunn

Clairvoyance is something you've no doubt heard about before; it's a word you may commonly see in ads for psychics. However, anyone at all can develop clairvoyance. It's an ability which every one of us naturally possesses, but you need to put in some effort to develop it to its full potential. Like learning any kind of new skill, you need to practice to become an expert at it.

If you are new to the term clairvoyance, and have never heard of it before, then here is a basic definition for you: Clairvoyance is basically the quick intuitive knowledge of knowing things that are not visible to the eye or have not yet happened. It can be thought of as somewhat of a psychic ability.

If you'd like to develop clairvoyance, you have a lot to gain. Being able to use your clairvoyant abilities will give you a new perspective on life and even give you inner peace and happiness. You'll discover a level of mental clarity and creative resources you didn't know you had. The only downside to exercising your clairvoyant talents is that you have to be more vigilant about protecting yourself from negative energy.

Sense becoming clairvoyant means that you are going to be more sensitive to the energies around you, you will need to make sure that you avoid negative people, places, and things. There will be times that you run into these types of situations, they are pretty much unavoidable. But when you do, just make sure that you do something positive to get rid of those energies. If more people took the time to develop their clairvoyant abilities, they would have a much easier time learning how to rid themselves of negative moods and the energies that plague them.

Here are some simple ways that you can begin to develop clairvoyance right now:

Rid yourself of negative possessions. If you have possessions in your home that bring you bad vibes or feelings, then get rid of them. Get everything out of your life that gives off bad or evil vibes to you. It could be the clothes of a dead relative or the hat of an old boyfriend. Whatever it is, as long as it makes you feel negative, you do not need it in your life. Have a bonfire for everything that you do not want in your life and home and allow that to cleanse you of your negativity.

Meditation: Make meditation a part of your daily routine. Set aside at least half an hour every day to go somewhere quiet and clear your mind. You can even do this while taking a walk. The stresses of our lives cause a lot of stress and distraction; meditation can help us to decompress and think.

Meditation is also a powerful stress reliever, so it can help clear all of the worries and irrelevant thoughts which can make it difficult to develop clairvoyance. Regular daily meditation will make you feel at peace and facilitate the development of psychic abilities, especially if practiced in conjunction with deep breathing.

Get in touch with your feelings: Your feelings will help you to develop clairvoyance. Let them guide you towards your goal. When something feels right, this means that you're on the right track. Trust your instincts; they're usually right, especially when it comes to clairvoyance.

Trust your hunches. Do not doubt yourself. Having low self-esteem is not going to help either. You must be confident in your thoughts and feelings if you want to be able to develop your clairvoyant abilities. Doubting your instincts will just damage your capabilities. You may be nervous about it, but just go with it.

There is a good reason why children have an easier time developing clairvoyance and using this and other psychic abilities. They are free of the stresses of adult life and are in tune with their feelings and instincts. Learn from them and let your instincts guide you and don't be afraid to express your feelings. You'll be filled with positive energies and be a happier person who is more relaxed and in tune with yourself " and these are necessary conditions to be in if you want to develop clairvoyance.

Every single person already possesses psychic talents including clairvoyance. These are things which are latent in all of us and with the right kind of preparation and training, they will come to the fore and you will benefit from these natural talents.

There are many things that can assist you to develop clairvoyance; regular affirmations and hypnosis sessions for example. These can be either with a trained therapist or self-hypnosis by listening to clairvoyance development audios. These can help you to communicate with your subconscious mind; once your subconscious mind realizes that it is okay for your dormant clairvoyant powers to be 'unlocked' you will soon start to notice a difference.

You'll also want to keep your chakras (the energy centers of the human body) cleansed and balanced regularly. The most important of these for your psychic abilities are the crown chakra and the third eye chakra. These energy centers must remain clear of negative energies and properly balanced if you want to develop clairvoyance.

As you can see, anyone who wants to can develop clairvoyance powers. As a matter of fact, if most of us were not so tied down and inhibited by the responsibilities and tasks of this world and made the effort, we would find that we can develop clairvoyance powers very easily. All we need to do is to not be so negative, learn to cleanse our energies, and just relax! - 31877

The Hidden Wonders Of Chakra Healing

By Jai Dahalli

Understanding Chakra

A chakra is an alignment point of the body and it can receive and relay the life force energy. The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit, it describes the continual spinning of a wheel or the aural energy sphere within the body of mankind. According to Hindu writings there are something like eighty thousand chakra points within our body. The most essential of chakra points are those that are found along the spinal column and up to the crown of the head and these are the seven chakra points.

The seven chakras involve the root, navel, stomach, the heart, throat, and brow and the crown chakras. These featured chakra points have the ability to transmit and receive energy from the general surroundings as well as those individuals in it and other influential elements of the surroundings. Chakras can influence activities of an individual that deal with emotional, spiritual, intellectual, mystical, psychological and corporeal issues.

Whether you chose to take on a point of view that comes from the Hindus mystical perception of the external and internal experience of an individual, the modern psychology of explanation of the consciousness and thought patterns or Chinese medicine, you will find a common thread within them all. This point is that the chakras are distinct when it comes to their explanations or definitions.

The chakras are in perpetual motion whether we are awake or asleep. Continual activity does influence the glandular processes, physical disorders, structure and appearance as well as our actions and deeds. When one or more of the chakras malfunction for different reasons this will cause an imbalance, it then continues to make it known in other areas.

This happens because all the seven major chakras correspond with the associated endocrine gland within our body. When there is any type of imbalance in the functioning of a chakra it influences our emotional and physical processes and then reveals a disorder in the normal pattern of behavior or activity by means of the endocrine gland it associates with.

Maintaining the Balance of Chakra Using the above as our point of beginning, we can assume safely that the majority of our ailments and illnesses are related to our chakras. Even though there may not be enough materialization of imbalance or illness, there may yet be concerns or emotions that come from our childhood that influence us spiritually, emotionally and physically.

One of the major causes of chakra imbalance is associated with repressed emotional baggage that develops from past trauma. These habitually buried emotional toxins of the subconscious influence the cellular level of our body. This is why we need to deal with any emotional baggage as it can help us maintain the necessary balance of the chakras. This will influence the healing of the physical being.

Healing the Body Chakras Activities such as Reiki, color therapy, aromatherapy provides balance by using the healing properties of crystals, gemstones and pendulums.

Many health conscious individuals enjoy performing the physical and breathing exercises of yoga as doing so is most beneficial for chakra balance maintenance.

There is a wide variety of chakra healing methods, such as using CDs and audio guided visualization tapes to inspire techniques of relaxation and natural healing or focusing on an object, thought or awareness for a particular amount of time. These help by reducing stress and channeling relaxation and mind power.

The chakras work constantly to maintain the body, even though we cannot see or touch them.

The body needs nutrition in order for there to be balance of the chakras and the pleasure of good health. There are particular foods that aid in maintaining the balance of each of the seven chakras.

The root chakra takes nourishment from spices, protein rich food and root vegetables. Foods such as nuts, seeds, sweet fruits, cinnamon and vanilla nourish the sacral chakra. The solar plexus chakra that enhances out sense of personal self love and self confidence is nourished by consuming dairy products, pasta, breads, spicy mints and cereals.

The heart chakra takes nourishment from green leafy vegetables and green tea. Tangy fruits like apples and peaches as well as the consumption of plenty of fruit juices and water aid in nourishing the throat chakra.

The enhancement of the sharpness of in our third eye sight and a deep sense of our psychical talents and gifts that associate with the brow or third eye chakra finds nourishment from the consumption of grape juice, wine, grapes and blueberries.

Detoxifying the body is beneficial to the crown chakra which is our emotional and spiritual center. This is done by the ritual inhalation of incense and herbs and by fasting.

When we influence our chakras by stimulation, we do influence our health. When we do so we become more responsive in our everyday and spiritual life, while we are more able to tune in completely to our surroundings and various other elements of the metaphysical and physical environment in which we live our lives. - 31877

Caring For Hemorrhoids

By Richard Hill

Do you or someone you know suffer from hemorrhoids? This condition is very painful, and often difficult to deal with. Whether they are itchy, annoying or real painful, they are the result of inflammation of the veins in the rectum. If you suffer from hemorrhoids, there are a few different ways to treat this condition.

The first concern you may have is to sooth the hemorrhoids that are present. External hemorrhoids are the most painful ones, and can be worsened by tight clothing, or activity. When you are seeking relief, consider taking a sitz bath. A sitz bath also known as a hip bath is just a shallow pan of warm water. This is to cleanse and soothe the area. Warm water may be the only thing that you need, but other times people will add a little bit of white vinegar to help heal them faster.

You can do this Sitz baths up to three times a day if you feel the need to do so. The procedure does not have to last longer; just make use of the warm water while it is warm. Drying the area should be done gently to avoid further scrubbing which might worsen the irritation and inflammation.

Also remember that when you are trying to sooth hemorrhoids that you should look into wearing light loose clothing. Ideally skirts that are light in fabric with all cotton undergarments are ideal. This will allow the area to heal quickly and cleanly and this will also likely be the most comfortable option for you. Wearing khakis instead of jeans can also go a long way towards bringing you a great deal of relief.

It's never to late to change your diet. Changing your diet will help to reduce the chance of hemorrhoids reoccurring as often. Start by adding grains and fiber to your diet. This will help your body digest your food better, and put less strain on your body during bowel movements. Everyone reacts differently to food, and you may need to analyze what you've been eating. This will help insure that you don't have to deal with hemorrhoids again in the near future.

Since hemorrhoids are a common condition there are many ways that you can treat them. Decide which one will work best for you, and remember to try and keep them under control and reduce the occurrences through your diet. - 31877

Regression Hypnosis - What Is It All About?

By Richard Lumb

What is regression hypnosis? It's a form of hypnotherapy that helps you go into your past and discover things that you may know in your subconscious, but will not recognize in your conscious mind. Oftentimes, you can use this therapy to help you figure out negative experiences from your past. If you want to rediscover your past lives, you can also use regression hypnosis to do this.

How Past Life Regression And Regression Hypnosis Works

Regression hypnosis works similarly to other types of hypnosis. The subject of the hypnosis is put under hypnosis by a trained therapist. The subject is then led back through a past life with careful suggestion, done by the therapist.

Hypnosis can help you unlock your subconscious mind's memory, because it helps you go "underneath" your active conscious mind. You can see, then, what is held in secret within your own mind.

Relieving Trauma through Regression Hypnosis

Regression hypnosis is often used to help people work through a traumatic experience in their past. People who have suffered from something traumatic may feel a lasting impact that can cause problems for them throughout their life.

By using regression hypnosis, a therapist will hypnotize the person and take them back on a mental journey to the time of the traumatic event. At this time, the person will work through the event in order to accept it or somehow adjust themselves to what happened.

Regression nemesis can also help you build your self-esteem, overcome emotional problems, heal from abuse, access and release emotion you may not be able to otherwise address, and help you overcome phobias or fears. This can be a very powerful process indeed, and it can let you come to grips with your passing away nothing else can.

Seeking Past Lives

Regression hypnosis can also help you find out more about past lives you've lived. Called "past life regression," some therapists don't accept this as a mainstream therapy, but it's still relatively common among therapists as a practice.

You may want to, for example, discover past lives so as to understand why certain elements or problems are present in your current life. For those who believe in past life experiences, past lives are connected to current lives, and leftover "baggage" may have negative consequences in the present life.

These people believe that by discovering their past lives they can learn what they need to do in this life to avoid mistakes they made in the past or what they need to do in this life to prevent repeating what went wrong in their past life. Through regression hypnosis they explore their past lives and learn about who they were and what happened in these past lives.

It doesn't really matter why you want to use regression hypnosis, though. Regardless, it can be very helpful. Regression hypnosis can help you uncover things that have happened in your past and then use this knowledge to improve your life as it is now.

Even though hypnosis still isn't completely accepted as a viable form of therapy, it hasn't shown to be very effective and may indeed be beneficial to you if you think your past is holding you back from a better life, now. - 31877

Computer Dating Is The Best Way To Hook Up And Meet Wonderful People Who Will Love You

By Russ J. Paulson

If you haven't noticed, there is a growing trend in the dating world today. Computer dating is likely the biggest thing going today when it comes to meeting new people. If you are still behind the times, don't worry. There is plenty of love to go around on the Internet today. If you don't yet know the many benefits, allow me to illustrate a couple.

First of all, computer dating is the most convenient method of meeting people today. Compared to trying to meet somebody at a bar or a club, computer dating is a walk in the park. You don't have to worry about rejection, or that awkward moment when you approach somebody and you don't know exactly what to say. And you never, ever have to worry about what your friends will say if you get shot down.

The second most obvious advantage to computer dating is that it is much cheaper than other methods of dating. Just going out one night in hope of meeting somebody can set you back a hundred dollars or more. And then there is no guarantee that you will even talk to somebody, let alone get a phone number or even a date.

Just one month on even the most expensive dating site is much cheaper than one night out on the town. And when you take into account the health benefits of staying away from smokey bars and all that junk bar food you likely eat when you're out, the health benefits can be astronomical. The more you think about, the more reasons you can come up with to use computer dating.

Another fantastic reason that really spellbinds people once they find out about it is how many people you can meet online. If you are lucky, (and extremely brave) you can maybe get a couple phone numbers a night. But in the computer dating world, you can easily make ten or twenty connections a week. And when you have a list that long, finding Mr. Or Miss Right is almost automatic.

Those that have taken the plunge into computer dating have found it impossible to look back. The people are nicer, the prices are lower, and the fun is amazing and abundant. Give it a try, and you'll also realize how wonderful it can be. - 31877

Happiness Enhancing Remedies

By Emily Curtis

Hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer from symptoms of depression. Despite many efforts to curb these issues, our minds are simply too powerful to reverse themselves sometimes, and our chemical balances are out of our control.

Having said that, it's critical that you're happy with your lifestyle, no matter how you're living right now. I'd like to give you three tips that I believe will be useful in maintaining your happiness.

Number one on my list is exercising. Your body needs to be challenged and stimulated. Not only will your mind welcome the challenge, but your body will benefit from it as well.

Exercise causes a number of hormones to be distributed through your body, most notably endorphins. These are responsible for feelings of euphoria, almost acting as natural drugs.

You should also find activities that you really enjoy, as any hobbies will have a positive effect on your spirits. Not only will you enjoy your time spent on these hobbies, but they'll serve as a distraction to your otherwise negative feelings.

I've seen people completely depressed who temporarily have a lift in their spirits whenever they're occupied with their hobbies. They use these things as an escape, temporarily removing themselves from the world and lifestyles that ordinarily make them upset.

What you eat is just as important as anything else, and your diet can definitely play a role in your overall mental and emotional demeanor. Eating foods loaded with sugars and starches gives you a temporary lift in spirits, followed by a much stronger crash. These should be avoided.

On the other side of the equation, eating natural foods like fruits and vegetables will provide your body with important nutrients that improve your attitude all around. Try it out consistently for a few weeks, and I'm nearly certain you'll notice the difference. - 31877

Secrets to Increasing Your Happiness Levels

By Amy Winter

Hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer from symptoms of depression. Despite many efforts to curb these issues, our minds are simply too powerful to reverse themselves sometimes, and our chemical balances are out of our control.

Too many people struggle with happiness on a day to day basis, despite the fact that they realize its importance. Sometimes it's simply easier said than done, as it's often very difficult to control our own thoughts. However, there are some ways to naturally increase your happiness levels that I'd like to discuss.

I would absolutely exercise if you're looking for an automatic fix. This is a can't lose approach that is just about guaranteed to raise your spirits to some extent.

Any exercise causes natural feelings of happiness, thanks to something known as endorphins. These are produced when your legs and the rest of your body are physically stimulated, and exercise and sports will naturally induce the production of endorphins.

Another way to increase your happiness is through taking up and immersing yourself in a hobby that you find interesting. This will take your mind away from negative thoughts and give you something to look forward to.

So many people don't realize it, but they'll be temporarily amused and occupied while involved with their hobbies, no matter how otherwise depressed they may be. This is a very interesting phenomenon, but the logic makes perfect sense.

What you eat is just as important as anything else, and your diet can definitely play a role in your overall mental and emotional demeanor. Eating foods loaded with sugars and starches gives you a temporary lift in spirits, followed by a much stronger crash. These should be avoided.

Instead, you should opt for healthy and natural foods. Fruits and vegetables are the best source of vitamins and minerals that your body may be lacking, and they'll go a very long way toward keeping your natural happiness levels high. - 31877

Exploring and transforming alternative energy resources

By Dale Green

We don't notice it often since we are so focused on petroleum and its derivatives, but there are many other alternative sources of energy which are in abundance on our planet. These sources are virtually in exhaustible and have been used across the globe in many different forms. However, they have just been used in lieu or the deficiency of petroleum and not as the primary sources.

We continuously benefit from the energy that comes from the sun, the wind, and from all the powers and energy that comes from the earth. However, we mostly fail to recognize and make use of the alternative energy and we tend to leave these alternative sources of energy undeveloped up to now. Since most of our fossil fuel supplies are now worn-out, the local government is taking into serious consideration the transitioning of natural resources into clean and renewable alternative energy.

Harnessing alternative energy sources for energy is not that tough particularly if you have a look at the progress which has been made in trying to convert fossil fuels into petroleum and other such products by purifying and refining them. The entire procedure is an expensive and tough affair and naturally costs more millions!

Though migrating or shifting to a new source of energy may be an alien concept since we are so used to petroleum, the truth is that it is essential for the progress and health of our planet. This step will help us in controlling pollution, decrease global warming and even help us to continue living in the same kind of lifestyle that we have been used to.

Solar electricity is an example of transitioning alternative energy for daily use. But this is also an example of costly and expensive renewable fuel because of the high cost involved when renewing the energy into another form of energy. Solar powers will enable us to have renewable fuel without using mechanical energy. Many people will benefit from this alternative energy if the government will do the necessary actions and all of us will do our share to learn and develop it for wider use.

Nothing has changed about the principles of generation of electricity since the time of Michael Faraday who discovered it in'00. Electromagnetic induction is perhaps the most commonly used method out of the seven methods of converting energy into electrical energy. This method basically involves generating electrical energy from kinetic energy. However, trying to tap the other new sources of energy will require us to understand the basics once again and develop some new skills and training methods.

These days the technology using photovoltaic devices has seen some rapid progress. However, the basic issue with the photovoltaic solar panels is that they are naturally more expensive than the electricity generated from the conventional sources of energy. Nevertheless, now there is a 40% leap in the capacity in places like New Jersey, Germany, California and Japan. With the kind of progress that is happening, it is hoped that it won't be very long when solar power will be at par with petroleum in terms of the efficiency and the cost.

Creating or renewing the source of power or energy we have now is possible with different developments and researches. Whatever mistakes happened and committed in the past may be repeated once again, but the good thing is there are a lot of things that we can learn from them as new methods are being generated. It is good that children are now aware of the power and energy we get from the sun, wind, and earth through the help of educational programs. This will help each of us to be aware of how to protect our mother earth from being polluted by renewing alternative energy for the benefit of each mankind. - 31877

If you seem to be having trouble in any of the mentioned categories and just cannot seem to figure out a way to fix the problem, then it's very important that you look over this article. It's possible that you haven't thought of trying regression therapy, and it may indeed be the answer to your problem.

If the Past Life Regression Therapy Center is to be believed, which it is, then Regression Therapy involves stepping into the dark to find the light once again. This is a type of hypnotic therapy where the individual is sent to deal with the past experiences of their life, though they are still fully conscious.

Such experiences could be a person's adult life, their juvenile years, childhood, and perhaps even that time where they have not left their mother's womb yet.

The idea of past life regression therapy though, is a little bit different. It is a method which will bring an individual back in time, but it in fact takes them to a previous life.

There are a lot of people that do not want to accept this. The reason is that the thought of having a previous life is just overwhelming to many. The problem with denying it however, is that there is actually proof of past lives. Some people might believe that this is a farce, but there is too much evidence out there to simply deny the whole thing.

A common occurrence is for an individual to undergo the process of Regression Therapy and speak of impossible things, such as old kingdoms and wars. The memories might even go back as far as the prehistoric age.

It's amazing when someone recalls something that can actually be verified. Sometimes old records can be looked up, and the records will actually match what the person said. Instances like this are truly amazing.

There have been interesting reports of children that are able to recall past lives, and they have the opportunity of meeting individuals from their past families who are still alive.

Knowing where we have been in the past will help us during life. It gives us another way to look at life, and even provides us with another perspective on life, which is very important. There is nothing quite as great as understanding our lives and who we are.

There is a term among the Regression Therapy community which is known as 'Faulty Thoughts. Such thoughts are known to be negative, and they are believed to be thoughts which an individual has made in their previous life. By doing this they brought their negative thoughts and emotional issues into their current life, which isn't a good thing.

The only person that can cancel out the negative feeling is the person that created it in the first place. The person, in theory, can release the energy and re-make their own energy field as a positive one. There are a number of ways that this can be done, through either forgiveness, repayment of karma, and even some re-patterning.

The thought of forgiving is something that was based upon scripture. The scripture is known as the golden rule, and it states: 'Treat others as you would be treated'. Basically you will need to repay any karma by correcting your mistakes and ensuring that the good outweighs the bad.

If an individual is able to do this, then re-patterning their own energy can be done. It can be accomplished through putting to practice ideals such as tranquility, care, gentleness, and every other thing which could be thought positive.

It's not going to be easy, but Regression Therapy has helped many people and managed to improve their lives. Most people who have undergone the therapy have discovered that they become stronger individuals.

However, if one is to ever reach such an end, then a person must be committed to the entire process, and of course change the way that they believe their life will turn out.

The subject of Regression Therapy is no doubt intriguing, and it's something that you should look into. It will help you figure out who you were in another life, and it will help you work out problems that you are having right now, which can be priceless! - 31877

Two Of The Most Popular Reasons That So Many Have Had So Much Success With Computer Dating

By Russ J. Paulson

Today there are over six billion people on our planet. And experts agree that number is only going to increase. One thing that people seem to excel at is making more people.

Most people today have no problems with this simple and natural process. Find somebody, meet somebody, go through whatever cultural rituals there are, and make a family. Then twenty or thirty years later, repeat this process again.

This has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years, and will continue to do so, swelling our world's population further and further.

For some people, however, this doesn't seem so easy. Many people in fact have a problem with this process. Being too busy with work, or not being trained properly in the right social skills, or even where you live may have an impact on this.

In the last several years, there have been more and more opportunities to meet people online. It is becoming easier and easier to find your dream partner through the safety and comfort of your own home. Many people love doing this for many reasons.

One major benefit is that it is much more convenient. You don't have to go to different bars, or other acceptable meeting places. You can send a email to someone anytime, day or night, and they can read it, any time, day or night.

Another reason people love this simple process so much is that it virtually removes the fear of rejection. You don't have to approach a beautiful stranger and be afraid of getting humiliated in front of your friends.

These are likely the two biggest reasons why more and more people are quickly finding their soul mates online. If you haven't tried it, you should. You dream partner is waiting for you. - 31877

Take The Time To Become Clairvoyant

By Madeleine Cole

Have you ever thought you could become clairvoyant? You can, but first, you need to understand clearly what clairvoyance is. What does it mean to be clairvoyant? In fact, this is one of the most interesting areas of the paranormal, and it's a topic of discussion as well. Talk shows often include clairvoyant guests who have apparently been able to look into the audience and diagnose sickness, solve crimes, or even tell someone how many children he or she would eventually have.

Most 'experts' say that to be clairvoyant, you must possess a sense the rest of us do not have or that we have at least not developed. If one is clairvoyant, it is assumed that he gives you access to greater knowledge, a window into the future or the past -- or both, and in some cases the ability to 'hear' or see' events before they've even happened. You may be able to look into the past and see what happened previously, too.

The skill of clairvoyance works because if one is clairvoyant, he or she is able to connect with the universe at large on a spiritual level instead of on the linear level most of us are used to. When clairvoyants open up their minds and their spirits, their world becomes clearer and deeper, and they can see things most of us don't have the ability to perceive.

Do you want to learn to become clairvoyant? A very few individuals become clairvoyant through a near death experience or some deep spiritual awakening. The rest of us however must learn by being willing to put in some practice.

To start you should take stock of your current level of paranormal powers. Why? Because everyone is born with some level of clairvoyance. In most children, their perceptions and ideas are stamped out and they are told to stop imagining things and grow up. Leading them to gradually learn to bury these feelings and thoughts to fit in with what their parents and society tell them is acceptable behavior.

To reclaim the potential buried deep inside you, use meditation to increase your self-awareness and allow you to grab hold of these thoughts. As you meditate your daily stresses and negative beliefs and thoughts will fade away, once you have released these negative vibes do not allow them back in!

Instead, when you meditate, focus on clarifying your thoughts and letting the universe give you information about what can happen next. When you're working on this particular skill, don't try to force anything; you will see and hear things that you may or may not think are real. That's perfectly fine. The universe will know the information you need and will let it come your way. Embrace this information and learn from it. When you're just starting out come your going to see things like images that are rather nebulous, or you may hear a voice speaking. You may see textures, colors, you may feel emotions, or you may have a very brief vision of something that's unfolding but not quite know what it is.

As you continue, you will learn to trust your clairvoyant instincts and will become more secure about what you feel, hear and see; as you meditate, these visions and sounds, and the information that comes to you, will be clear and sharp and will give you a better understanding of what's happening. Yoga as well can be a wonderful tool that can help you explore your connection to the universe spiritually, and you can also grow your knowledge of these signs and symbols often found when you pursue clairvoyance. To gain this information, you can read books and articles, as well as other information about clairvoyance.

As you pursue this further, you can also use palm readings, tarot cards, dream interpretation and other methods to scry for meaning. As you practice, you'll be better able to make sense of what you hear and see. In addition, as you continue to practice, you may meet other clairvoyants, and they, too, can help you develop your talents and see how far they can go.

When you become clairvoyant, one of the things you must do is to free up your negative energy by releasing other negatives from your life. If this is something you need to do, take a very close look at your home, family and work life, and adjust as necessary so the negatives go away. If anything in your life, in any area, causes you to feel negative energy of any kind, you can do a cleansing of your home or do other rituals that will release negative emotions and energy that simply stay in your life. This is something you can also do with work colleagues, relatives, or other people in your life that give you 'vibes' of negative energy, that give you chills, or that just make you feel out of sorts. To do this, you can practice what are called aura cleansings.

Cleansings don't do any harm to people, and simply purge negative energies when they need to be. To keep the cleansings' results around, you can also keep crystals in your home or imagine yourself surrounded by white light whenever you feel negative energy of any sort. Cleansings can also help you purge negative energy whenever you encounter it and it can also help you refocus. Keeping chakras cleansed in a similar manner can also help you take care of negative energy or resist it whenever it might come up.

Remember to be clairvoyant you have to believe in yourself, so if you have low self esteem or doubt your own abilities you will never fully develop. Learn to practice daily affirmations and learn to listen to your internal cues to trust in yourself.

When you develop your clairvoyant powers, you'll see that you have a lot of resources available to you that you didn't know about before. Sometimes, famous clairvoyants can become famous themselves; they can author books on clairvoyance, they can do celebrity readings, or they can make television appearances. - 31877
