Make Life Work For You
At
various times in our lives we take a snapshot of where we
are, where we were and where we would like to be. Most of us
aren't totally happy with the results. Sometimes we compare
our situation to those of our friends or associates. That
makes us ask, "Why can't I be where they are in their life
and career? What am I doing wrong?"
If you're going to take some time for
self-examination and compare your life to other people's,
you should never allow that time to turn into a
self-condemnation session. Sure, we would all like to be
doing better then we are, but everyone is different. You
might be surprised to find out that some of the people you
have decided to compare yourself with are not as happy or
fulfilled as you think.
During my late teens and early
twenties, I spent a lot of time with a guy I'll call Jimmy.
He played guitar and I liked fooling around with the drums,
so we ended up as close friends. When we first met in a
group of people, he seemed somewhat distant and troubled.
Having been where he was, I understood that living in New
York City and being a teenager was a lot of pressure for
anyone to deal with. We spent a lot of time playing music
and talking. Being a couple of years older then Jim, he
tended to listen to some of my advice. After we had known
each other for awhile, Jimmy told me that he had been
contemplating suicide and meeting me had probably saved his
life.
While we were close friends, our
fortunes changed. He started college, moved to Long Island
and got engaged. During the same time, I had invested myself
and all I had into what I had hoped would become an
opportunity for me, only to find myself totally betrayed and
all my hopes dashed. This resulted in some bad decision
making on my part, which left me without friends or what I
believed was much of a future. So I moved to another part of
New York City and took a job as a Church Cleaner.
During the time I worked at that
Church, I met some new friends. Although the Church I worked
for was one that I didn't worship at, I found myself in a
position to work with and help teens that were getting into
trouble there. Although I can never say that the time I
spent cleaning that Church was financially profitable, it
was a growth experience that gave me the opportunity to
share myself with others and help a lot of people. That's
something that no one can place a price tag on.
It was Jimmy's goal to be a
professional musician. He never attained that goal to the
extent that he would have liked. His parents were intent on
him becoming a professional in a more stable field, a doctor
or lawyer. He did become a lawyer and as I look at him
today, I sometimes get jealous. Not because he's a lawyer,
but because I would have liked to have had supportive
parents. His parents made everything Jimmy has possible for
him. Since we haven't spoken for many years, I do not know
how happy or unhappy he is. I know of his situation, but not
how he feels about it. What I do know is that he probably
wouldn't be here at all if we hadn't met. Rather then fret
over all the advantages that Jimmy had over me, I can
rejoice over the fact that I was able to help someone to go
on and not give up!
Before you decide to have a personal
pity party over where you are as compared to friends,
relatives or co-workers, stop and take stock of some of the
good things that you've done. Things that have nothing to do
with money or status. And if you're still not satisfied,
then it's time to get out and lend a hand to someone.
Volunteer at a hospital or blood bank. Donate your time to a
church, synagogue, mosque or whatever religion you choose to
follow. Use your experiences to empower and encourage those
down on their luck. It's never too late to start doing good.
And it's likely that good will come back to you.
During the time I was having a lot of
problems, Jimmy was too busy and self-involved to help me.
Maybe he was angry because of some of the bad decisions I
had made and I fully understand that. But help did come. I
had given help and it returned to me when I needed it.
Looking at things in the present can distort our view of our
own situation and sometimes make us feel badly. Where you
are now, might be exactly where you should be, even if it
doesn't seem that way.

The
Protein Diet In Your Kitchen
|

The Protein Revolution in Your Kitchen©2003 Marilyn Diamond
Protein, protein, protein.
Who isn’t focused on protein? If you’re like me, I’m sure you spend at least a few minutes
everyday making sure you’re getting your protein.
There’s a protein revolution going on today. You really ought to know about it. It’s happening in the chic restaurants on the beach in Santa Monica, California, where diet revolutions take birth. Hollywood stars with the prettiest skin and most slender, taut-muscled bodies are into it. Celebrity chefs are racing to master it. And web commerce businesses that push it are thriving.
It’s the rage in Boston, the buzz in Miami.
It’s spreading like wildfire from in San Diego to Wichita to Philadelphia, PA.
You may as well jump on the bandwagon. It’s going to overtake everything else
in the diet world in the months and years to come. Why wait?
Why not be the first in your group to look like you just came from one of those $25,000 health spa experiences that took twenty-five pounds and twenty-five years off your life?
If you’re like me, you want to see some serious rejuvenation when you look in the mirror. But you’re not interested in Botox, chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion, lypo-suction, jaw and cheek implants and all the other pricey, temporary “solutions.”
If you’re worn out from the struggle to lose those annoying bulges, this is your kind of revolution. If you want to go to the jean size you wore when you know you looked your best, now’s the time. You can do it so fast you won’t believe your eyes.
It’s not a fad, really. Before we had fire, we knew the value of sprouting grains, legumes and seeds. We knew instinctively that Nature had created them as potent nutritional bundles of health and energy. Without science at our disposal to tell us what we needed, we automatically germinated and sprouted these concentrated natural sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids.
Hung up on protein?
Amino acids are proteins in their most digestible form. Pound for pound, lentils and other sprouted beans give you as much protein as red meat, chicken or fish, with none of the fat, cholesterol, hormones, anti-biotics, and dangerous rendered feed residues found in animal proteins today.
Not to mention the cost.
The lentils and other beans you sprout in your kitchen cost just pennies per pound. Think about this the next time you pull out your wallet for a slender package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts or fish fillets.
Just this month, try something different. Grow fresh protein in your kitchen.
Simply purchase a pound of red or green lentils or mung beans. You’ll find them in packages in your supermarket or in bulk in your favorite natural food store.
Soak about a cup of lentils or mung beans overnight in a covered container. Drain them in your colander and rinse them well to be sure you washed off all the natural inhibitors that keep them from sprouting until you need them to sprout. Now leave them right in the colander, on your kitchen counter, spreading them out a little so they don’t clump together.
And watch what happens.
In only a few hours to just about a day, lentils and mung beans will start to grow little tails. As they begin to sprout, rinse them occasionally, and you’ll see a miniature, kitchen garden of tiny, power-packed, living plants. When the tails are just barely visible, place the sprouts in an airtight container and store them in your fridge. They’ll continue to sprout more slowly.
If rejuvenating weight loss is your goal, this is the clean, fat-free, practically instantly-absorbed protein you want for a beautiful body.
Now once, or twice a day, if you’re motivated, add your sprouts to your salad. I say twice a day, because, like me, you may love this revolutionary high-protein, power-packed meal so much, you’ll occasionally want it that often.
Not only for the slenderizing protein, but also for the abundance of vitamins and minerals, in readily available, economical form.
Here’s how I make my REVOLUTIONARY HIGH PROTEIN SALAD:
I mix my dressing directly into a large salad bowl. I use twice as much good quality olive oil as lemon juice, and add some sea salt, whisking this mixture into a smooth, creamy slenderizing dressing.
Now I add plenty of ripe, sliced tomatoes and some chopped basil, mint and thyme. The tomatoes and herbs macerate while I prepare the rest of the salad. I chop my favorite greens: baby spinach, mesclun, baby lettuces, romaine, butter or Boston lettuce finely, so they absorb lots of the dressing. I thin-slice unpeeled cucumbers and radishes. They add the silicon and sulfur I need for healthy hair, skin and nails. Sometimes, I toss in lots of oil cured olives, high in protein and fatty acids, and low in salt.
Time to add the sprouts from my kitchen harvest, about ½ to one cup per person.
Then I toss and toss to insure my REVOLUTIONARY HIGH PROTEIN SALAD is really well blended and combined. I serve yourself an ample portion, and eat it slowly, chewing well to appreciate the textures and flavors of living protein for my living body.
Are you sick and tired of how the years take their toll on your health? Are you bored and frustrated with all the confusing and contradictory diet fads and trends? Would you enjoy having so much energy you practically never run out? How about having the confidence to know each time you sit down to the dinner table that you’re preventing, rather than causing disease? How would you like to watch the pounds and decades literally melt from your body?
You can do it. Thousands of people are already experiencing these results and benefits. The revolution is happening all around you.
Why wait to be a part of this growing trend?

Color Cures
A Feng Shui
Series
|
By: Kalyn
|
|
When
we sense that a room lacks good Feng Shui, we know that we
need to change something.
One of the easiest ways to change the energy of
a room is by changing its colors. A color change can be
simple to do because we know what colors we like and we can
sense how a significant color change will affect our space.
Re-painting just one wall in a room, for example, is a
significant change that will create an energetic shift. When
we aim to shift energy through color, we need to determine
what we need to change and then we need to consider the
different ways colors work. In this three-part series, we
look at how colors can change the vibration, mood and the
element of a space, starting with the yin and yang
vibration.
Energy can be yin or yang depending on its flow.
Ying energy is a restful and calm energy that vibrates
quietly. Yin energy is preferred in bedrooms and dens. It is
required for a good night's sleep and in rooms that tend to
be private. Yin energy is sometimes mistaken as being energy
to avoid. It is thought of as death energy (since yin energy
is sought after in grave yards) or dark. However, yin energy
is inner-world energy. It is conducive to spending time in
our inner world with our hopes, dreams and desires- it is
also the energy we seek for meditation.
Yang energy
is a more active energy. Feng Shui prefers to see yang
energy in a living room, dining room, kitchen or a home
office. Yang energy is needed to keep active energy in our
finances and to keep good relationships with friends and
family in our entertainment or “public” rooms. When we add
yang energy into an office, for example, we attract more
activity in the forms of finances, relations and reputation.
When a space's energy doesn't match the energy
of the activities it is used for, inauspicious energy
conflicts occur. For example, a living room or business
office that are too yin will have a challenging time
appealing to visitors and visitors that are present won't
stay long. Similarly, a bedroom or a back door that are too
yang, or too active, will create a sense of caution which
will keep occupants from fully resting and relaxing.
Choosing the right colors can help create the
appropriate yin or yang energy needed. Active colors like
red, orange and other bright shades hold yang energy and by
painting a wall or adding yang- colored furniture, we can
liven up a yin office. A yang space can be soothed and
quieted with calm colors, such as mellow shades like violet,
rose, and blue.
Of course, deciding whether a room should be
yin or yang isn’t black and white. Some spaces, such as
offices, benefit from being very active – on the other hand,
that much motion and movement might be too much in our
living room!
Decide how active or calm you need your spaces
to be. Be sure to match the activity of your space with the
energy you are creating so that your activities and the
room’s energy match. Then make these changes through color!
Love &
Light,
Kalyn

Feng Shui Abundance Tip:
In Feng Shui we work with
energy, shifting and changing it to enhance its effect
on us and our lives. This is primarily done using universal
laws of energy.
However, you don't have to be an expert to work with energy
and to attract abundance into your life!
 Try
this simple tip: if you
wish to attract more money, do this by acting as though
you have money! Always keep money on you (even if it is
small amounts) - Don't run out of cash!
Do you wish to enjoy a life
of abundance? Sure, it sounds great, and you think that it
is too good to be true! It is not too good- it takes work on
your part!
If you are willing to open to life, to
change some behaviors and to learn how to how to attract
abundance into your life, then try the Manifesting
Abundance Series! The series was created for students who
wanted to experience more abundance in their lives, and they
are! The Manifesting Abundance Series includes two CD
processes to help you bring the energy of abundance in, and
an Abundance Workbook, an 8 week workbook with daily
exercises and behaviors to help you know what abundance
really is.
You won't know abundance
until you breath it, feel it and think it-
and the quickest way to learn these is through the Abundance
Series!

being offered at an introductory rate!

How to build up your own
Creative Power |
by Fernando
Soave |
|
|
Here are some ways
that have been found helpful to build the creative power of
creative thinkers throughout the centuries.
1. Associate with children in some of your spare time.
Children will give you a new way of looking at things
because they take nothing for granted. Every problem they
give you from "Why the sky is blue" to "why can't pens have
erasers, just like pencils ?" will give you practice in
exercising your imagination. If you have children of your
own, play with them. Listen to their conversation.
2. Watch for deficiencies in everything that need
remedying. The ability to see what needs to be done is the first
step in finding solutions for a particular problem.
3. Expose yourself to new sights and sounds. Travel to
strange places in your town. Try new restaurants. Travel to
a new place on your vacation. We don't see too clearly
what's closely by. No matter how many acres of diamonds
there are around you in the shape of fruitful ideas, you
I'll probably have fresher thoughts if you go to a new place
in town, or on a vacation to a strange town.
4. Always define and narrow your problem as much as you
can. If you break down a problem into many small specific
component parts, it is easier to solve each small problem to
arrive at the solution to the one big problem.
5. Gather facts about your problem. Gathering facts
sometimes uncovers the solution. We want the mind to go off
on strange, new paths. But it won't if we smother it with
too many facts about conventional ways of doing things.

Abundance In All Things!
Abundance is an essence that exists in infinite supply
in the universe. Abundance can take on various forms
such as an abundance of love, money, happiness, joy,
success, and so on. Generally, we know what abundance
is, but bringing abundance into our daily life alludes
many of us. |
|
|
Manifesting Abundance
uses the two spiritual laws, "as above so below," and "as
within so without." Many have heard of these laws but are not certain
how to put these laws into effect. To put the law into motion you must
first be able to access spiritual essences that exist in unlimited supply
on the levels beyond physicality. Then you must align the structured self
to this essence, bringing the essence fully into your inner world. When
your inner world is completely aligned to the essence, in this case
abundance, it must manifest in your outer world. It is the law..
To find
out more about how to create abundance in your life, please go to:
www.spiritspiritspirit.com/abundance/abundanceseries.htm
Testimonial: "I really enjoyed it. What I
noticed about myself is that I would grasp at making
an altar for my bills, and come to appreciate them and
look at them as symbolic, but also I repel actually
taking the time to work with self and energy first. "
