4 Little Known Secrets of Meditation

August 27th, 2008

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Secret #1:
The True Purpose of Meditation
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Many people feel a sense of fascination when confronted with the possibility of mystic visions, psychic intuition and heightened mental functioning. While meditators often report these sorts of improvements, these experiences should not be the primary reason for practice. The purpose of meditation is to bring us back to ourselves.


As we become healthier, happier and realize greater self-awareness, the other benefits of meditation begin to follow naturally — improved mental functioning, greater intuition as well as greater access to unconscious resources and abilities.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Secret #2:
Distraction Does Not Equal Failure
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Meditation is not work in the sense that you have to “force” yourself to concentrate completely for long periods of time. If we consciously try to prevent thinking, it’s going to have a negative impact on the meditation.


Instead, whenever we become lost in thought or confusion, we simply acknowledge those thoughts and then gently return the attention to the object of the meditation. We do this as many times as distraction or thought occurs. Eventually, the mind becomes calmer and discursive thought begins to slow.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Secret #3:
Insight Alone Is Not Enough
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Insight alone will not transform our lives. Meditation is likely to help us by giving us larger perspectives and increasing clarity of thought. But although our sense of inner guidance might become stronger, unless we ACT on that guidance, we will never manifest the changes we truly want in our lives.


This doesn’t just mean we need to take action in our outer world, for example, having an honest conversation with a friend or paying a bill.


It also means we must actively request the assistance of the unconscious in a clear and persistent way. When you do that, as I teach in “Secrets of Meditation, Energy and Manifestation,” you find yourself magnetically drawn toward your dreams with an irresistible impulse.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Secret #4:
Learn To Let Go
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Once you have made your request, it’s important that you let go. Don’t be concerned with HOW you’re going to get what you truly want in your life. Needing to know how can hamper the process of making it manifest in the outer world. Learn to trust your unconscious.


Some changes — perhaps all of them — will happen automatically. I have personally found that many of my destructive habits simply dropped away with minimal conscious effort.


For me, this was achieved not by self-discipline and will power, but rather a “letting go” and a realization that spiritual growth is a natural process powered by parts of ourselves that know more than we can understand consciously.


As we let go consciously and receive more input from these parts, we learn to trust this feeling, this feeling that we are in safe hands and that something amazing is about to happen.

Image of Your Franchise Automotive Outlet is So Important

August 26th, 2008

Image of your franchise automotive outlet is so important. Some say image is everything, well then if you buy a franchise you should be constantly thinking of image and cleanliness. If you read Ray Kroc’s book “Grinding it Out” (McDonalds Visionary) or Tom Monahan’s (Founder of Dominos Pizza) book “Franchising for Dummies” or Howard Shultz’s book; “Pour Your Heart Into it” (Story of Starbucks) you will see they all built brand on image. Even for those of you who are the extroverted sales type, plenty of examples such as “Customer’s For Life” by Carl Sewel and “Exceeding Customer Expectations” by Jack Taylor (founder of Enterprise Rent-A-Car). But as I travel the country and have literally been to every city in the country over 10,000 population in the US;

http://www.carwashguys.com/blitz.html

I cannot tell you how many franchise automotive outlets are run down, awnings faded and falling apart, trash areas look like a bomb went off, grease stains out the back door and stains on the sidewalks in front of stores. Of course these stains are there for years? Why? When you buy a franchise you need to follow the manual from the franchisor and no where in that manual, I guarantee it, does it say to make sure there are stains on the concrete out front of your store at all times? What can you do? Well there are many products available, one we found to work great is Pour-N-Restore. We use this product on a professional level with some of our team members who run The Concrete Wash Guys, which is a module of our WashGuys Franchise System. Concrete Wash Guys is a Concrete Contract Cleaning Franchise and is part of the Wash Guys Network.

http://www.ConcreteWashGuys.com

We clean all kinds of stuff, some franchise automotive outlets, box stores, auto shops etc. But if you are trying to save costs, you can use this product yourself with you own labor onsite. We have tested and tried the Pour N Restore Concrete Cleaner and it Makes the Grade. Very simple to use on the toughest stains on concrete for automotive uses such as an oil changing business. Rust on your drive way or even cleaning tough jobs, which the Contract Concrete Cleaner often finds themselves dealing with. We believe that this product would be good for homeowners, builders, concrete contractors, commercial janitorial cleaners, coating contractors. It works on concrete, masonry, exposed aggregate, tile, paving, blocks, quarry tile colored concrete and patios.

We tried it on hydraulic fluid, oil stains, rust, brake fluid stains, transmission fluid stains, grease, oil, animal fat, cooking oils, tar and wax stains. Good stuff. Perhaps you might like to know of this product, their website is: http://www.pour-N-store.com;
or give them a call; 1-800-508-7939.

Our company often tests products we might use in business and we are fairly tough on our observations. Pour N Restore Concrete Cleaner Makes the Grade. Franchising needs to clean up it’s image, the best way to do that is to look in the mirror and look around our own automotive outlets remember that when Ray Kroc named the four most important things he instructed even demanded his franchises to maintain, cleanliness was one of them. If you want to shine above the competition in your market, keep the place clean, both in and outside.

How To Make a Seashell Bridal Bouquet

August 26th, 2008

How to Make a Seashell Bridal Bouquet
By Sandra Canfield

Would you like to make a seashell bridal bouquet for yourself or for the bride? Follow these simple instructions.

Materials Needed:
Wood Dowel cut to the desired length
Foam ball 3″ to 4″ in diameter
White seashells (bubble shells, caycay shells, nassa shells or any other shells you desire
Hot glue (high temperature)
Hot glue gun
BOND 527 Multi-Purpose Cement Glue
Pearls or Swarovski Crystals for accent
Satin ribbon
Organza ribbon

Cut your dowel to the desired length and insert it into the center of the foam ball. The dowel can easily be pushed into the foam. Remove dowel, fill hole with hot glue and re-insert dowel into the foam ball. Let dry.

Apply seashells with hot glue as pictured or create your own design Bouquet Photos.

Once you have all the shells attached, apply the pearl or swarovski crystals for accent throughout the shells. This helps to hide any foam that is showing through. Use the BOND 527 Multi-Purpose Cement Glue for the accents.

Let the bouquet sit overnight.

Wrap the satin ribbon around the dowel to the top of the boquet and then tie on your organza ribbon.

This is a time-consuming project but the results are well worth the effort.

How to Avoid Carbohydrate Trigger Foods

August 21st, 2008

Many of us will go too long between meals and then we will reach for a quick fix that is loaded with carbohydrates. The problem with doing this is that it just spikes our blood sugar then causes it to fall dramatically. Foods with high sugar content like cookies, white bread, sodas and chips have virtually no nutritional value and only add empty calories to your daily intake which is just increasing your risk for gaining weight and getting diabetes.

It is relatively easy to avoid these cravings and urges if you will be disciplined and follow some simple guidelines.

I recommend that you break your meals up into four to six meals spread evenly throughout the day so that you are eating something every 2-3 hours. How you do this will depend upon you metabolism and your activity level. Doing this will stabilize your blood sugar levels, keep your metabolism operating at an optimum level, and reduce cravings.

Another thing you will need to do is some house cleaning. You need to go into your cupboard and your refrigerator and toss out all of the bad stuff like the chips and cookies and all white foods because they are refined. Try to stick with pure fruit juices and not those from the store with sugar added to them.

If you can only eat three regular meals make sure that you keep some kind of healthy snack with you like nuts, fresh veggies, and low fat protein drinks. This will keep you from popping coins in a snack machine and eating some garbage with the nutritional value of cardboard plus it will make you feel better and keep you energized all day.

Cut back on the caffeine and that includes not just coffee but diet drinks and tea as well. Also avoid the new fitness drinks like Red Bull, they all contain artificial stimulants that will just give you a quick rush that will soon drop plus they can be dangerous. You don’t have to quit cold turkey. If you are one of those that drinks four or five diet drinks a day or three to four cups of coffee just begin by cutting them in half.

The bottom line is that by eating healthier you will get the energy you seek through the better nutrition you are giving your body. It is not going to happen overnight it will take a little adjustment for you body to respond. If you want it to work better, I suggest going on a four to seven day fast of water and organic juices to cleanse your body and prepare it for the new lifestyle, especially if you have been eating really bad.

As always drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins and remain hydrated.

Buying Furniture for the Elderly with Special Needs

August 20th, 2008

If you are challenged with buying furniture for an elderly person, there are a few things you should keep in mind as you start your search.

First, how is that person’s health and physical condition? Can he or she easily rise from and sit down into a chair? If not, furniture with special options are available. The seats of chairs and recliners rise to a higher level with the push of a button. The elderly person can simply back against it, then lower himself down to a seated position by pushing another button. Furniture technology is great!

Another thing to consider when picking out furniture for an elderly person is the fabric or upholstery on the item. If the elderly person tends to slide out of seating easily, a couch with a slick leather upholstery might not be as good a choice as one with a textured fabric. The texture of the fabric can help prevent slipping out of the seating.

Make sure the furniture you pick out for an elderly person is easy to clean. If they have other health issues that might mean occasional soiling of the furniture, they will need to be able to clean it quickly and thoroughly.

Most important when buying furniture for an elderly person is to remember that even though his or her eyesight might be a little less than it once was, the furniture should still be appealing to his or her taste. If your grandfather hates floral fabric, don’t buy him a room full of furniture with huge magnolia blossoms on it just because you happen to like it. If you are incorporating this furniture into your living quarters, and you and the elderly person who will be sharing your space disagree on furniture tastes, do your best to get the new furniture in a complementary shade or fabric. It doesn’t have to be an exact match. Use a solid blue lift chair to coordinate with your blue, burgundy and green floral sofa and loveseat. Make every effort to respect his or her taste while accommodating any special needs.

If you are buying furniture for an elderly or special needs person, ask questions of your furniture rep. Tell them about your special needs and concerns. Furniture sales reps are trained to help you fill your needs. If your local furniture store doesn’t carry what you need, chances are the salesperson can refer you to a website or medical supply store that does. If ordering furniture from a website, be sure you know all the shipping and handling costs up front. Also, find out warranty information. Don’t overlook medical supply stores in your furniture quest. In addition to medical necessities such as oxygen tanks, portable toilets and wheelchairs, many carry furniture items like lift chairs and recliners that can greatly improve comfort and quality of life.

If at all possible, take the elderly person you are buying furniture for on your shopping trip. Ask for input. This will insure your furniture purchase is one you’ll be happy with for a long time.

The Romance Of Italy Destination Weddings

August 14th, 2008

Whether you are Italian or not, it is hard to beat the appeal of Italy destination weddings. Italy has many charms for both natives and visitors alike, and a wedding in Italy is like no other.

Whether you get married on a gondola while lazily floating down a canal in Venice, or choose the grandeur and history of the Roman Coliseum as your backdrop, it is certainly easy to see why Italy has become such a popular destination for weddings of all sizes.

Reasons To Choose Italy For Your Wedding

There are many reasons why couples choose Italy destination weddings, but one of the most common is family history.

Those whose families immigrated to the United States a few short generations ago often still have family members in the old country, and a destination wedding in that beautiful country is a great way to reconnect with long lost family members while allowing them to share in a great celebration.

Using Italy As A Honeymoon And A wedding Location

Even for those without family ties to the area, Italy is simply a gorgeous and wonderful place to hold a wedding. Italy is a land full of beauty, from the stunning artworks of Florence to the stunning natural beauty of Venice.

From the wine country of Tuscany to the hustle and bustle of Rome, there are many reasons to consider Italy as both a vacation destination and a great place for a wedding.

Planning Your Italy Wedding With Success

Of course planning one of these exotic Italy destination weddings can be quite a bit more complicated than planning a wedding in your home town.

All the normal wedding planning things must be taken care of, of course, including finding the perfect dress and landing the best deal on the wedding bands. You still have to send out the wedding invitations as well, although when planning a destination wedding you will of course need to get them out early.

In addition, however, there are many other things needed to make Italy destination weddings a success. Some of these items include reserving a block of hotel rooms for the wedding party and the guests, providing information on how to get from the airport to the hotel, and the like.

Using A Wedding Planner

The complexity that Italy destination weddings can bring is one reason that many people who would not otherwise consider a wedding planner decide to hire such a professional to pull off a destination wedding.

In fact there are now wedding planners who specialize only in planning destination weddings, and they can provide invaluable services to those planning Italy destination weddings.

Ready to Write Your Book?

August 14th, 2008

Do you have important information you want to share with your clients?
Do you want to be recognized as an expert in your field?
Do you want to attract new clients?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you may be ready to write a
book or a booklet.

There is much preparation involved before you write your book. Writers rarely finish
writing their book unless they are fully prepared. Check out the information below
so that you can decide if you are ready to write your great book.

1. Your client must be hungry/starving/yearning for the information you
provide.

People will come to you to get a solution to their problem. What do people always
ask you? That is your area of expertise that you want to provide for your reader.

2. Provide 10 solutions to your clients’ problems.

Name 10 problems that you can help your client solve. Now take a few minutes to
write them down in one sentence each so you will remember them. Did you get 10
listed? Congratulations! You now have 10 topics, an outline, or a Table of
Contents (TOC) for your book. It’s a start. Your TOC will change as you write and
organize things, but you should be able to complete your book with 10 extremely
helpful topics for your client/reader.

3. Know your reader.

Do you know your audience? Your book must be addressed to the reader who will
benefit most from your information. Write to the people who need your expert
advice.

4. Gather your fact-finding information.

Do you have a collection of notes, information, clip articles, brochures, etc., that will
help you write your great book? Some writers gather information as they go along
and throw it in a box until they are ready to use it. When your fact-finding research
is at least 85% completed you will be ready to write your book. If you need help
with your research there are many students who would love to earn some extra
money helping you with your research. Check with your local library or community
college. You can also do a Google search for “work for hire agreement.”

5. Develop an outline of the points you want to cover.

An outline is a map of your book. It is your guide to help you stay on track. If you
did #2 above then you have your outline.

6. Let someone else write your book if you are too busy.

Hire someone else write your book for you. Record your book idea over the
telephone. Get a friend to listen to you on the phone. You can have a great
conversation about the 10 topics for your book. Your friend will ask questions that
will help you. Get the information transcribed by a virtual assistant, college student,
or local secretarial service.

7. Writing your great book takes time and commitment.

No Time! That is the #1 reason why writers tell me they can’t finish their book. Yet,
they barely started it. Things get in the way. There will always be other demands in
your life. Many times I find that writers do not have a plan of action and are not
prepared. Writing your great book must be one of the first 5 priorities in your daily
life. Ask anyone who has written and published a book. It takes time and
commitment. Can you commit a minimum of 10 hours per week? If you are an
average typist using a computer you should be able to write at least 20 pages a
week. At the end of a month you will have finished 80 pages!

You can get started writing your great book today with ease and confidence once
you have accomplished the activities mentioned above.

8. Your enthusiasm and passion is important.

It takes a lot of enthusiasm, motivation, and a belief in yourself that you can do it.
Ask a trusted friend to be your buddy while you are writing. Get started today.
Create an action plan to write everyday and in 90 days or less you can
write your great book, be recognized as an expert, and attract new clients to your
business.

Your Office and You

August 14th, 2008

The environment in which a person works can reveal a lot about both their personality and the people around them. Here we take a brief look at several office environments and the differences between them and the people that work there. Heavily cubicle-based offices are our first port of call. Generally one tends to think of the office that relies on cubicles to segregate its employees as an anti-social environment. However, this is not necessarily the case, as the need to socialize after prolonged periods of cubicle seclusion may become more prevalent in one than it otherwise might. Also, if you feel the need to work solidly and without distraction, then your own cubicle my just provide such a retreat. The serviced office environment can also provide many of the qualities as previously mentioned, as you have the social area which might be something like a canteen or gym if you’re lucky, and when the need for work arises, you can always retreat to the safety of your own office within the complex. A network of communication lines direct from your own office can also provide you with both social and labor-orientated stimuli. In this era of modern technology, it’s also possible to have what’s called a “virtual office” and/or even work from home. The term usually refers to the communication network of phones, fax and email, etc, that’s commonplace in most modern offices; but it can also refer to meetings and other office goings-on that can take place over these networks. For example, a conference call, be it via standard telephone or a video conference, allows multiple people to interface with each other over large distances as if they were in the same room together.
