Put-Downs: The Whole Story
What put-downs really are
Let me begin by saying what they are not. Put-downs are
not "harmless jokes." The test of the difference between a
put-down and a joke is this: Would the jokester be happy if
someone he respected used that very same so-called joke on
him?
Put-downs are not "constructive criticism." At a construction
site, people are building something. To construct is to build.
To give the kind of criticism that is constructive, you must
see evidence of it helping the receiver to grow. For instance,
when my children were little, they took music lessons. When
they hit a wrong note after having practiced long and hard,
the teacher would say, "I can tell you have been practicing
well." She would then recite, very specifically, five or so
things they did well. Then-and only then-she would say, "Now
play that [name of note] again for me." If it was right this
time, she would say, "Do you hear the difference from before?"
This helped the child feel good about what was done right
and turned the mistake into an opportunity to train the ear.
In contrast, "You played the wrong note!" is just plain criticism, not constructive and, "You played the wrong note again. I don't know what's the matter with you" is a put-down guaranteed for the child to hate music and ruin your relationship.
Put-downs are not the best way to express exasperation with
those you love. What is heard and received is rejection and
the response is to reciprocate that rejection, to feel depressed
over that kind of treatment, or to get out.
Put-downs are anything that attacks the other person or
what that person holds dear. They can be as subtle as eyeball-rolling or a cold tone of voice. They can be as obvious as cursing. They can be things in between such as referring to your son's friends as "oh, those people," and your husband's skill at
softball as "it was great 30 years ago." The best way to know
if you have put someone down is ask your heart what your feelings really are about the person it was directed to. The best way to know if you have been put down is to ask your heart if it feels proud after hearing that remark. The heart knows.
The damage they do to the soul
Unfortunately, unlike a courtroom in which the judge can
instruct the jury to "please disregard that," once said, a
put-down enters the soul in much the same way a virus enters
a cell: destructively. Each and every time a put-down is leveled
at someone, the soul is injured badly. You can actually see
this on the outside: the smile is not so bright; grades drop;
work suffers; car accidents occur.
People who hear put-downs long enough begin to doubt themselves.
They begin to think there must indeed be something wrong with
them or those they love wouldn't hurt them so. They go beyond
thinking there is something-some aspect of themselves-that is wrong; rather, they think their whole selves are wrong. God, somehow mis-made them; the essence of their being is wrong.
No matter how angry you are with someone, you don't want
to do this. You may think you do, but when you act out of
anger, the damage boomerangs: Doing it injures your soul too.
And you can easily tell that it has: You somehow don't feel
happy afterward; you are not relieved or unburdoned. Rather,
you feel as miserable and perhaps as angry as you did before.
Look in your heart; you will see you are angry with yourself
now in addition to being angry with your loved one.
How they escalate
Let's look at this further: Joan is furious with Tim and
tells him off. She sees the dagger enter his heart. She sees
the look on his face. He is quiet and there is a moment of
peace. But in that moment, Joan does not feel relief. How
can she? Whatever it was that Tim did that hurt her did not
change. Nor did she give him a chance to apologize or make
it good. Nothing was corrected. Joan thought she got even
but what her heart craves is love, attention, and acceptance,
and she sure didn't set up the situation for that. Tim meanwhile
has only the foggiest idea of what he did wrong in the first
place, if he has any idea at all. But he is really mad, now
and who knows where that will lead?
Surveys of thousands of fighting couples show that bad words
can escalate into physical violence. The probability is there.
But even if that doesn't happen, at the very least-and this
isn't small potatoes-the couple (or the child) becomes alienated.
How to respond
If someone puts you down, first you have to recognize it
for what it is. Once you do, here are four possible types
of responses.
Name it. Giving the down-putter the benefit of the doubt,
maybe he didn't realize that it was a put-down. Maybe he just
thought it was a joke or constructive criticism. Maybe he
just thought "Well, that's what I do to vent anger" without
meaning to put down. The solution here just might be to tell
it like it is and say, "That was a put down."
Throw the ball back to her court. By asking, "Did you really
want to say it that way because it was a put down," a reflective
person might think about it and realize that she didn't intend
that and make some correction or apology right on the spot.
Say it hurt. This suggestion comes with a warning: Only
do it with a person of good will. If the person who said it
is so angry that she just wants to inflict wounds, saying
it hurt can, unfortunately, lead to more abuse. For all others,
saying the put-down hurt can, indeed, put a stop to it.
Challenge. When the sender of the message honestly cannot
see that the message is highly critical and not constructive
at all, challenging the statement on a purely logical basis
can be a wonderful experience in empowerment. For example,
Sue hurts her daughter, Rochelle's feelings. Rochelle tells
her it is a put-down and it hurts. Sue replies with, "You're
too sensitive." That itself is a put-down because (a) the
word "too" is judgmental and (b) it devalues the characteristic
of "sensitivity." Rochelle can challenge this with: "How do
you know I'm too sensitive? Maybe you're too insensitive."
Put-downs are not jokes and they're not constructive. They are
virulent soul-destroyers which can lead to total alienation from
those you care about most. Sometimes naming it, saying it hurt,
throwing the ball back into the sender's court or direct challenge can put a stop to it.

Martial Arts Belts
If you do any type of martial art you will need to be disciplined to train and compete in competitions the ultimate goal is to get your martial arts belts. The more advanced you are the higher ranking taekwondo belts you will have until you are a master. Although it may take some time to advance through the stages once you have it is a very proud moment. The belt system is the best way for teachers and instructors to grade your skills and acknowledge how well you are doing.
Although the martial art belts were originally thought to be only two colors over time they have extended to several different colors. In Japan they do tend to still use a white belt and then when the student graduates then a black belt is given. Although this is fine in the western world it is more common for different colors to be used. The colors of the taekwondo belts are traditionally white, yellow, orange, purple, blue, green, brown, red and black.
Every martial art will have its own system as to the ranking of the belts and at the end of every stage you will need to take a test. This will test your skills and moves and ensure that you are ready and competent to move on to the next stage of your journey. These moves will either be done on your own or against an opponent and the instructor will decide if you are skilled enough. The higher up the ranks you go the darker the taekwondo belts are until you reach black.
Martial arts belts were not originally used and ancient instructors preferred sashes to represent the different stages. They felt the sashes were softer and easier to use but through the years belts were deemed to be comfortable and were introduced. The concept behind the taekwondo belts was to represent a journey for the student and as they pass through the stages they are becoming a man. You will need to be much focused to travel through the journey and slowly you will pass up through the ranks.
A white belt is for the beginners in the class and usually it is seen that a green martial arts belts is the intermediate stage in the journey. The introduction of the different taekwondo belts made teaching the classes easier for the instructors. They could see straight away where every student was up to in their journey. Although there are slight variations between different martial arts most of them are very similar and the martial arts belts can be seen in all classes.
As a student it will be your goal to achieve every stage in your journey and although this can be a challenge if you are focused then you will achieve your goals. You will learn how to focus your mind, body and soul and you will be fitter and more subtle. Learning any martial art is a great sport for any age and you will love the discipline and learning new skills every class.

Deflation - The Economic Elevator Going Down, Down, Down
The current economic mess is like watching a slow motion train wreck. Every week brings one more car piling up in smoke and flames along the side of the track. Indications of a major problem have been popping up recently without much fanfare - deflation.
What is deflation? It is a pronounced and continued downward spiral in prices for either a sector of the economy or the economy as a whole. We've been watching deflation occur in two big markets - housing and oil. Housing has been deflating for a year or two while oil just went into a massive, sudden downward spiral earlier this month.
If deflation means prices are going down, what's the problem? Well, deflation is like selling your soul to the devil for your grandest desires. The immediate effect is pretty nice, but the payoff in the end is a real killer. With deflation, low prices are great at first, but they tend to feed on themselves and can kill the economy.
Let's assume I make tortillas. As consumers slow their spending, I suddenly have more tortillas then I know what to do with. I have to get rid of them, so I lower my prices. I am able to sell off my inventory, but my total revenues are down. I have business debts I have to maintain, so I have no alternative but to let go of employees to save money somewhere. Now I can't produce as many tortillas and, eventually, will run into a situation where I may not have sufficient revenues to meet the monthly payments on my business debts.
Millions of businesses will be doing this. As they slash employment, the total spending by consumers will drop again. Citigroup, for instance, just announced a layoff of 52,000 people. Those 52,000 are not going to be spending money. It turns into one big loop that can be very hard to stop.
How do you fight deflation? The answer is simple - the Federal Reserve Bank cuts interest rates. By doing this, banks start lowering the cost of borrowing money. More people and business begin borrowing money and then spending it. This drives up demand and prices, thus putting deflation in the trash bin.
Unfortunately, there are two problems that really hurt us if deflation does hit the economy. The first is the simple fact that the Federal Reserve has already lowered the interest rate for banks to borrow money down to one percent. It could go to zero, but that isn't really much of a difference.
The second problem, of course, has to do with the banks. As you've probably notices, we are having a smidge of a problem in the banking industry. The current managers of most large banks have proven to be incompetent. Everyone jumped on the subprime mortgage bandwagon and it has all gone horribly wrong. The end result is any bank getting money at the moment is far more likely to hoard it to make the bottom line look better than it is to lend it. Even if banks do lend the money, who exactly is looking to take on more debt?
So, are we in serious trouble with deflation? The answer is not particularly clear at the moment. If the retail shopping season is really bad, it will not be a good sign.

Does Reiki Really Work?
As you hear more about Reiki as a healing alternative, you may find yourself inquisitive about its legitimacy. Does Reiki really work? Large followings and glowing success stories often breed skepticism, so you're not alone in asking. This is a very common question, so I've provided some simple ideas for the formation of your own informed opinion.
Know the Theory
Although Reiki is only about 90 years old in name, the underlying concept is much older. Originating in the East more than 5,000 years ago, this ancient philosophy assumes everything in existence to be energetic in nature. It also proposes that all of life is, foundationally, a complex and unending interchange of energies. Reiki claims to directly engage the source of an illness, understanding it to be a matter of energetic imbalance. The primary purpose of Reiki Energy is to restore that balance. Though differing from the more diagnostic view held by many Western doctors, this is similar in many ways to other healing forms within the holistic health system.
"Does Reiki really work?" can only be answered within context and understanding the energetic nature of the universe is your most important first step.
Know the Science
With recent scientific progress repeatedly confirming the ancient perspective, Reiki is now becoming widely recognized as a scientifically valid healing experience.
Much of our more modern science has been dedicated to understanding the human body, its cells, and its interactions in terms of electromagnetism, and the question, "Does Reiki really work?" is now being met with surprisingly affirmative responses.
The quantum view has also begun to allow researchers the framework from which to view the human body as essentially energetic, and thanks to the large body of evidence accumulated in recent years, many of the more progressive hospitals are now offering Reiki as legitimate treatment for their patients!
Form Your Own Opinion
So, does Reiki really work? Without a personal experience of your own, your answer will always be less-than-satisfactory. Whether you decide to receive a Reiki treatment or, even better, decide to learn Reiki for yourself, you will be most convinced and best educated by personal experience. Though Reiki training has traditionally been very costly and time-consuming, more modern offerings have helped to make it far more affordable and accessible.
If you're determined to know if Reiki really works, your best bet is to form your own opinion through personal experience.

Who Cracked My Crystal Ball?
It seems like an awful lot of people are asking my opinion these days, usually about things on which I have no opinion to give. They ask my take on international politics, global warming, the overseas stock markets, the future of the Eurodollar, the latest Calvin Klein fragrance, and a whole slew of other topics that I know little, if anything, about. Even my wife wants to know what I think. She's always asking things like, "Honey, does this make me look fat?" It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there's only one correct response to that question.
So the evidence is clear: either my humble opinion really does count to a lot of people or I just have a lot of people snowed. I'm leaning toward the latter since it requires far less effort on my part.
Most of these misguided folks seek my opinion for no other reason than I write this column. They think that because I can string together a couple of thousand words in a semi-coherent manner on a weekly basis, what I think must have some relevance to the world. Truth be told, most weeks this column writes itself. In fact, I don't consider myself a writer so much as a cranky chronicler of life, a benign bystander, an existential fly on the wall. I just sit on the sidelines and take note of what's happening around me, then I run it through a spell checker and report it to you. Think of me as the hall monitor in the Big School of Life. By the way, where's your hall pass?
While most people ask my opinion on current events, others want to know what I think about things that haven't even happened yet, like I'm some kind of psychic hotline operator. "Who do you think the next president will be?" they ask. "Do you think North and South Korea will ever unite? Do you think there will ever be an Irish Pope? Do you think Prince Charles' ears can get any bigger? Do you think the new Barbie will be able to wear the old Barbie's clothes?"
Since so many people seem to think that I can see into the future, not to mention that we are on the threshold of the new year, I decided to put my psychic abilities to the test. After all, I had nothing to lose and the answers to many questions to gain. Questions like: Can I really see into the future? Do I really possess the gift of foresight? If I really can see into the future, what's the best way to make a fast buck off such an ability, and more importantly, will it help me remember where I left my carkeys?
I put myself in a deep, hypnotic trance by watching an entire episode of "Baywatch" with the sound turned down, then I closed my eyes and let the visions come. For a while, all I could see was water and red bathing suits, but finally the waves did part and the future became clear.
Here, then, are my top ten predictions for the coming year:
Lisa Marie Presley will announce that she is pregnant with exhusband Michael Jackson's child. Though it is unclear whether the baby will be a boy or girl, it will be born with interchangeable parts, just like its daddy.
Speaking of Michael Jackson, the Gaudy Gloved One will decide to have a sex change operation by the end of the year. Confused doctors will announce that such surgery isn't an option for Jackson because they can't determine what sex he/she/it is now.
At the 1998 Governors' Ball held at the White House, Alabama Governor Fob James will experience a painful attack of intestinal gas while dancing with Hillary Clinton. Footage of the attack will be aired on newscasts around the country, sparking a dance craze that proves even more popular than the Macarena. In the words of "Soul Train" host Don Cornelius, "Everybody be doin' the Fob!"
It will be proven that President Bill Clinton was not only involved in Whitewater and illegal campaign fundraising, but was also instrumental in the creation of the Arch Deluxe.
Due to the lack of viable candidates to run in the next presidential election, the Republican Party will attempt to revive the political career of Ronald Reagan. The fact that he is suffering from Altzheimer's will be considered by many to be a political plus.
Microsoft head Bill Gates will consider entering politics, but will change his mind after failing to get the office of "God of Earth and Hellfire" added to the national ballot.
In a move that shocks the religious world, Pope John Paul will resign the papacy and begin a successful career as a stand-up comic. He will land his own sitcom on the Fox network called, "Chico and the Pope." Jimmy Smits will play the role of Chico.
Disgraced TV preachers Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert are cast in a remake of the old sitcom, "Bosom Buddies." Jim and Jimmy play two God-fearing men living in a house filled with beautiful women. Neither role is considered a stretch.
Basketball great Michael Jordan's squeaky-clean image will be tarnished this year when it's revealed that he isn't really bald.
A popular internet humor columnist with the initials HLW will win fame and fortune with the publication of his book, "Men Are From Venus, Women Are From Over Yonder."
Well, what do you know, those folks were right. I can see into the future, after all. Or maybe it was all just a dream brought on by that beer and Polish sausage sandwich I had while trancing out on Baywatch. At any rate, I hope you enjoyed this article because I was charging you $3.99 a minute.
Hey, even a psychic's gotta eat.
Happy New Year, everybody!

A Dying Cat And A Nylon String Guitar
"Music isn't just learning notes and playing them, you learn notes to play to the music of your soul" - Katie Greenwood.
Why are you learning music anyway? Is it to pick up chicks? Is it to fulfill a void in your mundane life? Is it an indescribable calling?
I always wanted to learn the drums. I don't know why, maybe it's the aggressive nature of the things. You sit there and bash the crap out of them.
As fate would have it I shared a house with Dave, a guitar player, so I decided to learn the guitar as I had my very own teacher living in the next room. Or so I thought.
I went out and bought a nylon string classical guitar for $70. I didn't have a clue what I was doing but that never stopped me before.
So I went back home with my new guitar in its cardboard box. And with anything new, you want to play with it straight away, as soon as you get it home.
I also bought one of those guitar case chord dictionaries. You know the ones, they have a thousand chords in them and they are designed to confuse rather than actually help you.
So I waited for Dave to get home from work and as soon as he was in the door I was at him. "I bought this new guitar and I was wondering if you could show me how to play it" I said.
He just laughed at me but eventually agreed to show me which chords to learn first. He told me to learn the open chords A, D, E, G, and C. So I did. I spent every spare moment learning these chords.
Dave wouldn't show me any songs to play so I was forced to make up my own songs. This forced me to really explore every one of these chords as I thought at the time that I had to include them all in every song I wrote.
The songs I wrote were pretty strange to say the least. We were into punk music at that time so just imagine what a dying cat like vocals set to a nylon string out of tune guitar played as fast as a speeding train sounds like and you get the picture.
It sounded good to me at the time and I was very proud of my new found ability. It took about three months to get the hang of changing between the chords, and being able to write a song. (if you could call it that).
I didn't know it at the time but I had the one thing that was needed that would ensure I would become a good guitar player. That one thing was sheer bloody determination. And the more people told me how bad I sounded the more determined I became to improve.
So it doesn't matter how good or bad you are at the moment just play the music of your soul - even if it sounds like a cat being tortured. You will improve as long as you keep trying. Here's a mental exercise for you. Fast forward your mind to 4 years from now. How good a guitar player will you be? The time will pass regardless of what you do. Are you going to keep at it? or are you going to give up? It's up to you. You will be four years older, but will you be four years wiser?

Does Crying Cleanse the Soul?
The soul is pure and requires no cleaning, always in a state of pure love and happiness - no exceptions.
The spirit of the contrary is capable of fear, anxiety and sadness, so they expanded their story based on emotional stimulation. These thoughts and feelings can be cleaned in part, screaming, crying like the person to bring greater spiritual dedication. Sun purifies the spirit of history, caused bythe emotions, which are actually there to alert you when you are out of harmony with higher self awareness.
Therefore, the answer to the question "Does crying cleanse the Soul," can be very confusing. Let us explore the reasons why:
Scenario 1
Because the Soul is always radiating pure love, peace and harmony it does not (in spiritual reality) become anything other than what it is based upon an experience in life-situation. It stays pure and is always in acceptance of what is. It knows that the experiences of life-situation are form based; therefore, what is created in form will eventually end. As a result, when the end of something that is form based comes, it is viewed as part of the process of form returning from which it came. As a result, if the Spiritual Body is in the forefront of the individuals' alignment with the Four Body System (Spiritual, Emotional, Mental and Physical Bodies). It is expected that everything will pass that is form based and the Spiritual Body will continue on in eternal life. In this scenario sadness is still experienced and tears may come, however, the grieving process is shortened because of acceptance at a higher level of understanding that the eternal life process will continue.
Scenario 2
Conversely, most people live life with the Physical Body in the forefront of the Four Body System (Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Bodies). Therefore, life-situations have a far greater impact on them. They can easily manifest a heavy layer of sadness, which acts as a smoke screen over the pure state of Spiritual Being. The mind minimizes acceptance of what is for a period of time, and then, emotions feed the mind, which ultimately produces a reaction in the Physical Body. In Gods wisdom, crying was created to assist us in cleansing the minds perceptions of whatever is taking place in the life-situation. Therefore, crying is a wonderful way to cleanse the mind of painful emotions brought on by life-situation occurrences, thereby returning the person to acceptance of the life process. In this scenario sadness is extended for a much longer period of time and hence the grieving process continues far longer, as well as, more resultant scenes that are played out by the mind over and over.
Everyone has at some time gone through or will go through an emotionally difficult life-situation, which requires a grieving process to assist them in passing through it. This is especially true when there is a feeling of great loss, as with the death of a loved one or a relationship breakup. At these times, a good cry is one of the best ways to relieve the pain of the loss from the body. It is a totally natural way to cleanse the Mental Body of the sadness that is being experienced. Once the grieving process is complete we feel much better, because we have cleansed the mind with the assistance of crying and have returned to our natural state of happiness. The loss is accepted and the fond memories remain in the mind to continue the connection on a higher spiritual level.
Life is not always an easy journey; it can be an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs brought on by what the mind perceives as unfair situations. When experiencing deep emotional pain it can feel unbearable in that moment. However, each moment of sorrow bring us closer to discovering the essence of who we really are. When we cry we also cleanse the build up of many emotions brought on by fear based thoughts. However, it becomes easier to cope with sadness when we live life with a deep knowing that there is an ultimate higher purpose for everything that happens. The grieving process takes less time for us to return to our higher awareness when living from this level of awareness. Yes, emotional pain is still experienced; however, acceptance of what is comes from a difference reality when living life with spirituality in the forefront of everyday life-situations.
The important point to remember when experiencing a life-situation which does not feel good, is that you are going through it, which ultimately means you will eventually arrive on the other side of the sadness brought on by life-situations. Therefore, when you are feeling unhappy one of the best remedies for returning to your natural state of happiness is to have a good cry - it cleanses the mind.

Mind puzzles that works your mind
A very important way to increase brain power and enhancing the power of the human brain is to involve it in different kinds of creative tasks. You can always engage in the different techniques to solve various innovative problems such as mind puzzles.

Virtual Sales Training Now Available
Technological advances are now being utilized to provide sales training virtually and interactively to organizations replacing more traditional methods. Virtual sales training technology is now available utilizing technological advances where sales solutions and sales training can be provided to an organization via user names and passwords for a fraction of the cost of sending people off site. The technology takes no space on the company's computers, nothing gets lost, all content is delivered in high quality full motion video and no one has to be sent off site and the user can access training and solutions 24/7. For organizations dependent upon sales this revolutionary breakthrough is perfect for the current economy providing organizations with the much needed sales solutions and doing so cost effectively.
For 25 years I have been speaking to audiences on sales and motivation and this is the first time because of technological advances that we can offer organizations solutions and training in real time (24/7), when our clients need it on the exact issue challenging each individual in the company. Lets face it the world is different today and the way to effectively and efficiently train and educate the staff is even more important than ever before. Sending people off site or bringing a consultant in-house can be cost prohibitive for many companies and the sales force misses valuable opportunities to be in front of clients while doing either. Organizations are looking for new, more cost effective ways to train, educate and motivate their people at this time. Virtual sales training is not just a supplement to the organization's training efforts but for some a complete solution.
Virtual and interactive technology is allowing me to duplicate myself and deliver best sales practices tailored to the situation our clients faces, when they are challenged by them. It is like having a virtual sales coach to train, motivate, coach, consult and provide solutions 24/7 to the entire organization without adding payroll. I can literally provide the entire organization with professional sales solutions before, after, even during a transaction to improve chances of closing the deal. Full testing and accountability features allow management to know who needs help with what so the education process can be refined to what each individual needs.
With virtual sales training technology a user is given access to a virtual site with a password and then is able to access whatever issue he/she is having difficulty with, at which time I personally deliver the best possible practices for that situation in full motion-high quality video online. The user is able to access the information from their home or office when they need it with no embarrassment. We recently launched Sales Training VT and the first responses from the market to this technology have been incredible. The National Automobile Dealer Association recently announced it will use the same technology to deliver all communication to its 15,000 members starting in early 2010. Other companies see the virtual sales training solution as a way to add a HR person, manager and trainer without having to increase its payroll. With sales people spending more time on computers using CRM's, social networking and the likes it only makes sense that their sales training and sales solutions would also be available where they spend most of their time.

Affirmations For You
You are a special person with a lot to give: affirmations will allow you to focus on the positive things in your life, by repeating positive phrases that will train your brain to think positively. An affirmation will reassure and relax your mind and body. Here are some useful affirmations that you can repeat in order to train your mind to see things in a positive light, every day. Getting bogged down in the negative will hurt your life: affirmations are a great way to keep yourself centered as you move forward to a better future:
1. I truly and humbly love myself, and respect and appreciate the special human being I am.
2. I am a decent person and deserve to discover, experience and possess happiness and joy.
3. I am only human, and therefore flawed and prone to make mistakes.
4. My life has value and worth and deserves to be loved.
5. I am the master of my life and the captain of my soul!
6. My first duty is to my own life and development, and my health and livelihood. Once have I nurtured and provided for self, then can I help and benefit others.
7. I exercise my own free will and am responsible for the consequences--good or bad--of my decisions and actions.
8. I require no one's approval or acceptance. I need only to do the best I can do and accept who I am.
9. My inner peace and stability do not depend on others or on external forces. All this and happiness depend only on how I love and respect myself.
10. I am generous and good to myself.
11. I take each day as it comes and do the best I can.
12. I am calm, peaceful, and in no hurry, for I have an entire lifetime to live and develop.
13. No matter how difficult or negative, I know that every thought, word, action and event my life will experience, will contribute to my education and development as a human being.
These affirmations can be done anywhere and at any time. They can be repeated out loud if you are alone, or said to yourself if you are in public. Once you get into the habit of repeating the affirmations that ring true to you, you will start to focus on the positives in your life right away. You must always believe in yourself in order to succeed in life: life is simply too short to spend mired in self-loathing or self-doubt.
Affirmations will train your mind to turn away from negative thought: use them every day to strengthen and renew your mind.

Lillooet - One of BC's Little Hidden Secrets
Every community, country and even around the world has great places to experience and much to offer. Lillooet, BC is no different. No sooner do you get out of your vehicle here and start to wander the parks, trails, visit the museum, Recreational Centre or ride the train, you start to feel the fresh mountain air seep into your blood, bones and down into your very soul. I read once that "Life was never meant to be a struggle"by Stuart Wilde, and the people of this wonderful community have shown not only their success in everything they do but repeatedly prove that saying true!
The Indians (First Nations for the Canadians that want them named that) are incredibly brilliant and great visionaries of what could be done in and around this area to bring in more visitors. They offer fishing, the cultural way, including a big dinner and of course entertainment for everyone that wants to experience it. I highly recommend this adventure when you come to Lillooet. They are amazing people here...11 separate groups in just this one area. They all are working together to make a better tomorrow for everyone. Don't forget to ask to see the replica of a Sheesh'kans, pit house.
I was able to explore an archeological dig site while visiting here. Now that was cool! Seeing how it's done first hand. The progress of the excavation of an entire village of pit houses, food caches and a peak at a few pieces that were found. The archeologists have been able to date the site back to about 2000 yrs. Thanks Ann, the fearless leader of the students from Montana University and one of her student archeologists, Lee. You guys were awesome!
Lillooet offers so much in the way of year round activities for visitors, but I'm going to mention a couple of my favorites:
- Hitch a ride on the Kaoham Shuttle which meanders along the Seton Lake, nestled in the mountains, and passes by a few historical sites. Wildlife viewing along the tracks is a real possibility too. The conductor, a First Nations guide, is willing to tell you about the different sites. He will even stop the train on the tracks so people can take pictures of the sites and wildlife.
- The 'Jade Walk' through town that shows off some of the most stunning pieces of Jade mined here. A little known fact, the area of Lillooet was BC's first jade mine. Lillooet shipped more jade out worldwide than anyone else in the world during its day.
- A self guided walking tour of 14 historical locations through the town to be seen. Make sure you stop in at the Visitor Centre to pick up a map and get more information.
Do an internet search about Lillooet and check out the pictures. You might think the town is lost in the mountains; however it actually is only a couple hours from Whistler! And what better place to stay; right here in this beautiful, warm, welcoming community when wanting to ski Whistler or drive to Vancouver for a day trip to have a cultural experience while you can come back to a quiet little place like Lillooet.
This community may have seen it all in its history but we are just beginning to see what this community has to offer still. For example, they are getting into vineyards and wineries. They opened their first commercial winery, summer of 2009. Their weather is very similar to the Okanagan here in British Columbia.
More information available at http://www.hellobc.com/en-CA/RegionsCities/Lillooet.htm
Until next time, Happy Travels!

Esoteric Soul Healing and Spiritual Healers
The motivation of a spiritual healer is at least as important as that of the patient. Pain is a mental process and the healer must be able to communicate with the mind of the patient to alleviate the pain.
Jesus was not only the most famous spiritual healer, He communicated on a level few healers have ever attained. He is the only healer purported to have brought a man back from the dead. This achievement is attributed to a miraculous power reserved only for God. Are there other explanations?
It has been said that Jesus joined with the mind of the patient (Lazarus) who was then able to temporarily reanimate his body (The Disappearance of the Universe). There is a self-study course available for anyone interested in how this kind of joining is possible. The document that contains this teaching is called, "A Course in Miracles."
The soul healing work of Jesus and the study of spiritual healing in "A Course in Miracles" may be too faith-driven and remote for some readers. What about other lesser-known healers?
Joel S. Goldsmith - Mystical healer, author and teacher. He was a Christian Scientist considered a master in the art of spiritual healing. He insisted "no organization" be built around his teaching. Today, you may learn more about him at (JoelGoldsmith.com). His most famous work was "The Infinite Way" published in 1947.
Rosalyn R. Bruyere - According to her publicity, Rosalyn clairvoyantly sees patterns of disease and behavior in exquisite detail. She founded the Healing Light Center Church. Her publicity is professional and understated, and what she describes sounds similar to the writing of Dr Phineas Quimby, a pioneer of the mind, and celebrated hypnotist and healer of the 19th century.
Dean Kraft - Energy healer who has subjected himself to paranormal, medical, healing, and scientific research. Far more research is available on his website than you will find about other spiritual healers (DeanKrafthealer.com). He published "Portrait of a Psychic Healer" in 1991
Bradley Falk - While he may not belong in the company of Jesus and Joel Goldsmith, I mention him here because you can visit his website (BradleyFalk.com) and watch him speak about his teaching. His is earnest and direct. While you can sample his video for free or purchase his DVD for a modest price, you need about $3000 to arrange a private session with him.
Soul healing and spiritual healing spring from love for the patient. Love comes across in varying degrees among these few individuals mentioned here. The short list is intended to be a starting point for those interested in soul healing, or spiritual healing. The aim is always to guide you or a loved one to healing and peace.

What Should You Listen To, Your Intuition Or What You Are Being Told?
Why would you believe your intuition over what you are being told?
I was on a spiritual forum and caught this question posted by a member.
The thread was about the challenges of soul-mate relationships and the specific question was "why would you believe your intuition over what your soul-mate is telling you"?
IE: If he/she is telling you they don't want to be with you, why don't you believe it?
Well... at first I thought that was a rational question. Then I got mad. Then I got REALLY mad.
The reason you should believe your intuition over what anyone (soul-mate or other) tells you is because your intuition always tells you the truth, whether what you experience in the physical world is fact or not.
Time after time we find ourselves in situations where our voice/gut/intuition tells us what's really happening. Despite what our physical eyes or physical ears are observing, that inner knowing overrules those physical senses and tells us what's actually happening. After enough validation of this, any smart person would hopefully defer to intuition.
When my son was 13 he was ill with what started like the flu. When he didn't recover I took him to the doctor. We repeated this every few days as he was not getting better and I knew the doctors were missing something, but I didn't know what.
A hunch (intuition) told me to call the school nurse. I had never called the nurse at my kid's school before. She said "you know, there is a case of whooping cough at our school. It's probably not what your son has, I checked his immunization records before calling you back, and I see he was immunized for Pertussis."
Upon hearing that word, my gut said "that's it".
I spoke with his doctor & told her what the nurse said. She dismissed it. I was upset and angry and considered going to another doctor, but up until this experience, we'd received great medical care at this pediatrician's office. I decided to try one more thing. I got another 'hunch' which was to call our local County Health Department. The thought literally popped into my head (intuition) as I struggled with what to do to help my son. The lady I spoke with advised that we go back to the doctor and insist on a specific blood test. I did that & the doctor argued with me that he couldn't possibly have Pertussis, but I insisted on the test.
Days later when the test came back, it confirmed he had Pertussis/Whooping Cough. He finally got on the right medicine, but his lungs had been damaged. Listen to your wisdom, your inner voice.
When we trust our intuition, it becomes our best, closest and most loyal friend. We have free choice and can elect to follow our soul's guidance, or not. After we experience enough times choosing not to listen and we think back later to "what if I had listened? How would the outcome have been different. What if I had trusted myself instead of what someone was telling me"? It's pretty clear that 100% of the time our intuition is going to be straight with us, intuition does not lie.
Ever been driving at steady speed and your inner voice tells you to slow down. You do & the car directly in front of you slams on the breaks to avoid hitting a dog. You didn't see the dog, you had no external reason to slow down, but you listened to your intuition. It was right & gave you more valid information than your physical eyes.
In my life and in most peoples, we have hundreds if not thousands of experiences like this that validate and support the fact that our inner voice/intuition is the single best source of information. It is more accurate than our eyes, ears, and other "earth suit" experiences.
In matters of love it can get confusing. If you try to remove the emotion and ego from the situation, even for a brief moment, you can quiet your mind and settle yourself and just listen. In the quiet, your intuition, your soul - will tell you the truth. Sometimes it will be what your mind wants to hear and sometimes it will not, but it's always accurate.
Intuition is your soul's direct line of communication to your conscious mind. In matters of love or any other life situation your soul will guide you truthfully.

How to Train a Chihuahua
How to train a Chihuahua may be daunting you at every step - how is it done? Perhaps you are having trouble with an unruly dog or maybe you have or plan to get a tiny little pup and want it to grow up acting as it should. Where should you start?
One of the methods that are getting hot with trainers right now is the 'click method'. In this method a 'clicker', which is available at some pet stores, is used to train the dog. Here's how it works: The first step in click training is to set your dog on a chair, bed, sofa, or some other surface that he can't get off of. The 'clicker' is then clicked and the dog is given a small treat. Repeat this several times, until your doggie relates a click with a treat. This may take some time-don't expect your Chihuahua to get it in one lesson, it may take as much as 100 click-treat parings before he makes the connection! Remember: give tiny treats!
The next step, introduce the command. When your dog makes the connection, then give him a command, let's say "Sit." Start by saying your Chihuahua's name before the command, "Frisky, sit." Waiting only for a millisecond after the command, help him perform what was asked of him: right after the "Frisky, sit", lure his front end up by holding a treat above and just behind the muzzle. If your Chihuahua jumps for his treat, don't give it to him. If he bends his hind legs to get the treat, click your clicker and reward Frisky with the treat. Do it again, clicking and giving the treat as he performs actions closer to the sitting position. Finally, Frisky sits, you click and reward.
Let's try another one, the command 'stay'. First step, hold Frisky there for a moment and then let go and step a few feet away, "Frisky, stay." Remember: only expect him to stay for a few seconds at first. If he stays, click and reward. Don't reward him if he starts coming toward you though. Repeat until he does it right a few times. If Frisky starts getting good at that distance, back up a little more. Continue getting farther and farther away over a period of time. Keep after him until he stays like a pro.
When training, remember to keep sessions short and end on a positive note. In other words if Frisky does start coming toward you when teaching to stay and you get so frustrated that you just pick him up and shove him in his kennel, then he's probably going to get the idea that when he does that he gets put up. No! Keep going until he does what you want him to. Then you reward him and put him up.
Now you know how to train a Chihuahua with just a few steps, using the simple 'click method'. Enjoy your trained Chihuahua!

7 Sure-Fire Tips For Potty Training Dogs
For both an indoor and an outdoor dog potty, do you know about these potty training dogs tips? You soon will once you've read this article.
Follow these simple tips to make it easier to housebreak your dog.
#1. It's easier to house train an adult dog compared with a puppy. It will respond better to commands. It will have a fully developed set muscles for bladder control. And it can go much longer before it has to eliminate.
#2. If you have just recently acquired your dog, if possible, try and obtain the dog's house training and behavior history from the previous owner. This can make a big difference in how to proceed.
#3. If you are going to potty train your dog to eliminate indoors, make sure you choose a suitable potty. There are many dog potty's on the market that are nothing more than a tray. You really want one with a splash back and a post for the dog to aim at.
#4. If you use old newspaper to absorb the dogs urine, then insert a single soiled sheet of newspaper into the fresh stack of newspapers when you are cleaning up the potty. The odor from this will encourage the dog to use the potty again.
#5. Until your dog is potty trained, restrict his access to a room with an easy to clean floor.
#6. Dogs don't like to toilet in an area where they eat and play. So if your dog has an accident, thoroughly clean and deodorize the location, then feed and play with him there.
#7. Your dog needs a positive reason to use a potty. So encourage him with praise when he uses the potty correctly.

Guitar Speed Exercises - How to Train Your Fingers to Play Fast
Being able to play the guitar with speed and accuracy is a skill new guitar students need to start working towards from their very first guitar lesson. If you want to learn the guitar solos to your favorite songs, become a great electric guitarist, or even learn classical or flamenco guitar styles, you need to hone your speed skills.
Thankfully, there are some guitar speed exercises that can help you reach your goal of being able to play guitar with speed and accuracy. With daily perseverance and determination, in no time you'll be able to keep up with any song tempo and become an all-round better guitarist.
Tip #1: Do finger exercises daily. Like any learned skill, practice makes perfect. Warm up your fingers by practicing scales or patterns that make your fingers stretch, even before moving on to exercises specially designed to improve your speed as a guitarist.
Tip #2: Strength leads to speed. A good guitar speed exercise should strengthen your fingers at the same time that it trains them to move quickly. Consider Bruce Lee. The reason he was such a great fighter was because of both his speed and strength. But without his strength, however fast he might have naturally been, his speed as a fighter would have been useless. It's exactly the same with guitar. Without proper training and finger-strengthening, don't expect to make much progress at becoming a fast guitar player.
Tip #3: Train both hands. Playing guitar is done with two hands. Therefore, it only makes sense to train both hands to play with speed and accuracy. Learning how to use and hold a pick effectively when playing fast guitar songs is just as important as being able to move around the fret board quickly with your left hand. Also, the types of exercises you need to do with your left and right hands are different, since each hand is used in very different ways when playing the guitar.
Tip #4: Time yourself. A great way to encourage yourself to become a faster guitarist is to record your progress and try to outdo yourself everyday. Time yourself playing a chromatic scale. Write down how long it took you to play, and try to beat your speed the next day. With the correct guitar speed exercises, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to beat your own record repeatedly.
Tip #5: Pay attention to sound quality. In all honestly, many guitarists can play fast. Unfortunately, not every fast guitarist can play with both speed and precision. It's important that you don't sacrifice sound quality by playing faster than you feel comfortable. Fast guitar parts are only pleasing to the hear when they are accurate, controlled, and dynamic. Be sure to maintain and develop your skills so that you become not only a fast guitarist, but a guitarist with an ear for quality.
There are many guitar speed exercises, but not all of them are necessarily effective. A good exercise needs to come from a good guitar teacher. If the person teaching you cannot play quickly and accurately, there's no reason to believe that the exercises that instructor is teaching you will be effective.

How to Train a Puppy? The Simple Way to Do It
Puppy training really isn't as difficult as some people make it out to be. It is time consuming, yes, but difficult? No! The most important rule you can learn when training your new puppy is to be consistent. Just like a small child, a puppy will learn most easily with structure. Whether it is potty training, learning which furniture he or she is allowed to sit on and which of those yummy looking chewy things are off limits, puppies need structure. They feel safe and secure if there is structure in their lives.
Structured Feeding Times
Child psychologists will be the first to tell parents that little children thrive on structure. They feel safe when they know what time they will be getting meals, when bed time is and even when it's time to take a bath. The same thing goes for puppies. They are children too! Sure, they're canine children, but children nonetheless. Every other behavior that you will teach your puppy will be contingent upon that little dog knowing that it is safe and secure in your home - and structure is their safety net.
Structured Potty Times
Believe it or not, even potty time needs to be structured. Puppy training is simpler than you think if you can structure training sessions to occur very close to the same time each day. Take that little puppy on a walk (on a leash of course!) the first thing in the morning, a few minutes after each meal and of course before bedtime. Once puppy is in a routine of when and where it's OK to potty, you will have no problems with those "accidents" that plague many pet owners.
Structure + Praise = One Happy Puppy
Dog behaviorists contend that the worst thing you can do is go ballistic if puppy has an accident or chews something he or she was not supposed to chew. The best thing you can do is pick puppy up, scoop up the poop and walk both of them outside to the puppy's designated potty spot. Puppies are more intuitive than you think and it will only be a matter of days before he or she catches on that this is their own personal bathroom. Also, when puppy does do his or her business in the right place, immediately offer a treat and lots and lots of loving praise.
Puppy training takes structure and patience mixed up with a whole lot of love. Just as little children respond well to positive reinforcements, so too do puppies. During the training process you can't let your guard down. Stay consistent, be calm and loving, and you will be rewarded with the best behaved puppy on the block. A little love and a lot of structure go a very long way.

Roll Into the Night
Ride the Zephyr across America. See the sunset and sunrise and the plight of America from aboard the train.
Passenger train roll into the night
Into the morning and into the night
Forever I roll across America
The steel rail glistens along the way
Into the night and into the day
The streamlined cars roll
Across a land so big
Places to go
Places to be and places to go
Across the mountains and across the plains
Across the rivers, wide and mighty
Past picked-fences and broken glass allies
Neon lit nights, sunrise in valleys
Mailboxes on roads, the train rolls by
A tractor tills soil; a dog chases its tail
The locomotive plies onward
Into the night and into the day
The train sails clickity-clack
The engineer waves, the crossing gate dings
Across our land the east bound sings
Bacon hits griddle; the farmers arise
Into the morning the eastbound flies
Down the track stands Chicago, where my ticket is punched
Loved ones await my arrival in the City
Stories flow over a cup of coffee
What I saw in America
How it rises in the morning and dreams at night
Where it tucks its head as the stars twinkle downward
What the highways and byways look like while rolling
In an eastbound train
Across the land we love
The sun rises again; dawn cracks its head
The morning mail in, the mail trucks sit idle
Hungry for the express car's bags
Parcels and letters have places to go
As the train rolls to its stop
Into Union Station our Zephyr glides
Here I am, Here we are
America

Training Your Human Spirit - Key to Balanced Success
Your heart condition is the most important determinant of your authority and destiny on planet earth. This is because your spirit nature is the foundation and essence of your being and existence. Everything within and without you rises or falls depending on how you program your spirit-nature. The human spirit is like your hard drive Just as the hard drive drives every data in the computer, your heart runs the affairs of your life. The computer hard drive stores information in the form of electromagnetic energy. The same applies to your spirit man. Therefore this repository of energy can create, attract or lead you to whatever your core desire is or whatever you are programming for life. Everything in life is created first in the invisible world of the spirit before it materializes in the natural world of matter. In the same way, God has placed eternity in the hearts of men. "As it is within, so is it without," says an Oriental maxim. Some people call this the law of correspondence.
The key to success is being (what you become) which will determine doing (or what you do) and have (what you possess). Success, therefore is the ability of a trained spirit to dominate the body through a renewed mind. And the Holy Spirit dominating the human spirit which is now free to create. Genius is nothing but the Spirit of God working in an open and programmed heart. Thus, your heart condition is the core of your success quest. By the way, know that you can train your human spirit just like you can develop your intellect or your muscles. You grow on what you feed on. Therefore, the best way to develop the human spirit is by using the Word of God and performing spiritual exercises outlined below.
Here are five cardinal ways to train your human spirit:
Meditation--This is akin to storing and rehearsing the Word of God in your mind again and again. It is like planting the seeds of God's thought in your heart and let your consciousness grow it. This is like the cow chewing the cod. Take five to ten minutes thinking over the word of God especially the areas that is related to your goal. Find Scriptures that relate to your challenges and soak yourself with the ideas of God concerning those areas. Do it at least twice a day--morning and night. In meditation, God talks to you but in prayer, you talk to God. Whatever you program into your heart is what comes out of your mouth.
Positive confessions--After charging and activating the word by meditation, it is time to speak it out. You only change situations when you first speak to it. That's how God created the universe by the law of spoken word. Confession or affirmation is the most powerful way of turning your faith loose. Your self-confidence, personal power, self-direction and achievement start with words. It is also your words that conditions your spirit and renews your mind. This is because spirits respond to sound energy with emotions. Every time you say the same thing you reinforce success language. There are two types of confessions: auto suggestion and proclamations. Auto-suggestion is the conversation or running commentary between you and your spirit. This is unconscious programming beyond human awareness. The conscious one is the speech everybody hears from your mouth. Confessing what you want is the beginning of deliberate creation.
Prayer--Prevailing prayer is the life wire or the breath of human existence. The best prayer that gets result is praying God's Word concerning you back to Him. Prayer is the most powerful 'atomic energy' known to man. The human spirit soars in the place of intensive prayer. It is one of the most powerful way to release energy and supercharge your spiritual battery. Prayer is how you generate power, attract grace, provision and protection from the Almighty. Effective prayer is prayer that gets results. Praying the word of God in the spirit is the most effective, direct and powerful form of prayer. It is like building your spirit 'building your spirit brick by brick.'
Fasting--This is another powerful way to build your human spirit. You must live a fasted life if you must see success with your fasting. The flesh and its desires are what causes our failures. When the spirit dominates as in fasting, there is increased business intuition, revelation knowledge,opportunity awareness, money making ideas, creativity, breakthroughs, protective aura, favors, and breaking of demonic strongholds and bad habits. Thus, roadblocks to success are removed. Fasting brings the body under subjection and let's the spirit nature dominate. When the cravings of the mortal body go down, the spirit gains ascendency. "A praying believer is a confident believer; but a fasting believer is an overcoming believer," says Mahesh Chavda.
Praise and worship--Worship is the reason of our being. That's why God created man in the first place. The human spirit soars in the place of worship. We are transformed in His Image at the altar of worship. Human are judged in God's scale of preference according to their capacity to worship. Worship is the shortest distance between your breakthrough and God's throne. In praise, you extol the Lord for what He does; but in worship, you ascribe worth or value to God for what He is over your life. Worship is the most powerful way of cultivating a heart of gratitude. In God's presence is the fullness of joy and in his right hand is pleasures forevermore. "When you cultivate His presence, you enjoy His pleasures." This is called practising the presence of God or developing God's consciousness. Because God does things in dimensions, there are two types of God's presence in any believer. The Holy Spirit presence is the abiding presence and the one that comes and goes is the shekinar glory. There is no true worshipper of God that lacks anything. And those who know this does not trade worship for any silver or gold. Overall, prosperity always flows from a heart of gratitude which in turn determines your altitude.
Practicing the word--Application of what you meditate on is what brings manifestation or results. One of the most important ways to get power is in doing, not meditating or talking about it. "It is the law of nature that those who do have the power and those who don't have no power," says Waldo Emerson. When you take action you get satisfaction. Your thoughts create your desire but it is your action that brings it to you. Taking action is the most powerful way of programming the human spirit for success. The Word only works when you work it. Doing nothing is sure way of going nowhere. When your trained spirit ask you to do something, do it immediately. In the spirit realm and in life, timing can be everything. Business is all about opportunity and opportunity hinges on time. Money always flows to where there is opportunity. This is why taking action is critical to manifestation as the law of attraction kicks in.
If you can apply these cardinal steps, success in any endeavor is assured. Often, you have to combine the steps if you must train your spirit quicker for immediate result. You must have a goal to direct the above named psycho-spiritual exercises.
