Teak Furniture Care Exposed

By Frank Froggatt

Preservation and Staining

It genuinely isn't all that necessary to defend teak furniture. If left in its inborn state, teak wood doesn't really require any preservation, and it is unique in that aspect. If you leave your teak furnishings outdoors 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year and not have to worry about it, this is even if the weather conditions in your area are extreme. It is because of this that people really love outdoor teak furniture.

It is true that after being exposed to the sun for a lengthy period of time that teak wood will start to turn a silvery gray color, but this is a inborn process and doesn't harm the structural integrity of the wood at all.

It is a common practice for some people to use a teak sealer on their wood in order to preserve the organic light brown color that it starts out with. They often use it to darken it up a little as well. Applying a teak sealant to your furniture will do more than just help to darken it up, it will also provide a UV protection and an anti-fungicide which will keep mold from developing. It doesn't matter whether you're teak furnishings is old or new, you can apply teak sealants to them after they have been cleaned. These sealers aren't the same thing as lacquer. All it does is act as a preservative for the wood while still allowing it to breathe and release its biological oils. Unlike glaze this will not peel or bubble up. These items both help to protect and stain your wood the color that you like. When you're looking at colors, realize that the darker the stain you get, the better UV protection the furnishings will have, which means you won't have to put it on as often. If by chance you have inherited a piece of teak furniture from someone that has glaze on it, you will need to remove all of the old glaze by sanding, and then you have the choice of either staining it the color you like or leaving it native.

It isn't very difficult to apply the preservative and it is pretty straightforward. You want to make sure that you don't put your first coat on unless the furnishings has been sitting in the sun for a few weeks before hand. This assures that all of the wood grains are open. When you are making application, simply spray it on to the furniture and then rub it with a rag. Try to make sure that you apply two coats in this fashion on all surfaces of the wood top, bottom, sides and between any slats. Before you start putting on the preservative, you need to make sure that you cover the ground where you are going to be working as it can stain concrete or other surfaces.You will need to apply a coat to your furniture each year, but after the first coat you will only need to apply it to surfaces that received the sun.

After doing this to your furniture you genuinely have to do very little else to protect it. It doesn't hurt to wash your furniture every once in a while with a mild soap and water to remove any normal soiling. Be careful spilling things on the sealant like coffee, wine, or foods that stain, as these can penetrate through the sealer and leave stains on the teak. If you want to improve your furnishings and resistance to these types of stains you can put on a teak clear coat.

Teakwood is naturally pretty impervious to water because of the oil that is contained naturally inside of it. Because of this, things like varnish, water sealers, and products with an oil base aren't recommended for this type of furniture. Polyurethane and glaze products will never fail to peel up and chip off of teak wood products. Applying these to your teak furnishings can turn out to be a real nightmare in the future.

If you're thinking of putting oil on your teak furnishings to help stain it, think again as this will only provide an avenue for mold to start growing on your furniture, rather than the wanted effect of a darker color. If you do this, in order to fix the problem you will have to wash the furnishings with bleach and water and then sand all of the mold from the surface.

If you like to entertain people outdoors or spend any time outdoors just relaxing, then teak outdoor furniture is an excellent investment for you. It brings quality and class to your yard and outdoor setting. Understanding the good care of teak furniture is a vital part of helping to maintain a lifetime investment.

Why Can't I Remember My Past Life?

By Alec Pittman

Ever since the beginning of time, people have believed in reincarnation. Even now in modern times reincarnation continues to find a place in many religions, whether it's the Japanese, the Chinese, the Africans, or even the aborigines of Australia. Even many new age religions believe in the concept of having lived previous lives, and that a past life can have a significant influence on one's present life.

Because it is often believed that a past life has an effect on your current health and well being, many people believe that it's important to know yourself, and also who you were in your past lives. It may well be in your own best interest that you settle the demons which may have been left behind. Also, it could well be worth your while to gather up all the strengths and knowledge which you've gained during past lives, in order to be a stronger better person in this life and in future lives.

While some people have disturbing dreams and others have memories which don't quite seen as though they belong to them, it is however not always possible to tell whether or not you have one or more past lives. Of course, while most people who believe in reincarnation tend to believe that everyone has had a past life; mathematics goes a long way in proving that there must at least be some new souls. Apart from dreams and memories, other indications to look out for include:

* Have you ever experienced an unusually strong attraction to a specific culture, even though you've not been exposed to it in any way during this life? Do you have to an unexplained passion towards art of a particular era? If you have, then you should do a little research in order to determine whether or not this era only covers a short space of time. If it does then it's a good indication that there is some connection.

* Intense emotions with regards to a specific incident in history could also suggest that you may have been involved in one way or another with that specific event.

* Phobias and allergies which to the best of your knowledge do not originate from your childhood years, could also be linked to a previous life.

While the above list is far from being a complete list of indicators, it does however point out a few of the common ones. However, even if you have experienced one or more of the above, that does not necessarily mean you are remembering a past life. Instead, you should focus on looking for some type of pattern with regards to the things which tend to attract you for no obvious reasons. Once you do start to notice a pattern forming, putting the puzzle together will become increasingly easy.

Interestingly enough, hypnosis and self hypnosis make it possible for people to access their past lives. In fact you now have past life regression therapists who specialize solely in helping people to access their past lives. These therapists make use of 'deep hypnotic remembering' in order to recover memories which are locked in your subconscious.

If on the other hand you prefer the idea of self hypnosis, then you should find a technique which also helps you to achieve deep relaxation in addition to hypnosis. Also, it is advisable that you spend some time working with the chosen technique before actually using it for regression.

Considering that the most you'll experience is a vivid recollection of a past life, there is essentially nothing to worry about with regards to your personal safety. On the other hand your experience may not even be very intense, and you may simply experience some shadows and feelings of a past life.

Of course, just as good memories usually pave the way for good feelings, bad memories can pave the way for bad feelings. In that case you will simply wake up to an uneasy feeling similar to what one experiences after having had a nightmare. Of course you may not even experience any bad memories at all.

The all important issue here is that you actually remember something from a past life so that you can then move on. Remember, when the subconscious mind is suppressed, only then can these memories lead to further problems. By having the ability to understand and to accept what has happened in a past life, you'll be able to experience this live from a different perspective.

The theory of karma states that if one is good and performs acts of kindness, then you will have good karma. On the other hand, if you are a bad person or you change to become bad then you will simply have bad karma, in which case your life will be plagued by negative events and this will continue until such time that there's a balance between your good and bad karma.

Unfortunately many people tend to get confused with regards to this interpretation. Contrary to what some believe, we don't have to be bad or suffer simply because of a past life. Instead, each time you are born you are presented with a new opportunity to do things the right way. As a result, once you accept the fact that a certain memory may indeed be from a past life, and that you're not necessarily a bad person in this life, then you can move on and have as good a life has anyone else.

Performing Well During Your Cabin Crew Interview

By Nick Dylann Andrews

A cabin crew interview is an interesting process that is a little unique. You can walk into an open call session that will interview numerous candidates during the day. You can also schedule an interview if you are invited to do so. Either way, the interview process is really nerve wracking for some people. You can expect different types of interviews depending on the airline.

Showing up to your cabin crew interview worried or nervous can work against you. You are applying for a job that will require you to be cool under stress. We've all seen the pandemonium that happens during the boarding and disembarking. This is a stressful time, especially for the passengers and new members of the cabin crew.

Your cabin crew interview will often involve selling yourself, starting with focusing hard on your strengths and your ability to deal with high stress situations. If you tend to get flustered easily you might find this job a little too taxing.

Customer service skills are imperative for the position. Being well prepared for your cabin crew interview includes being able to give verbal explanations of how you intend to handle scenarios that are presented to you. It is not unusual to receive some basic questions regarding customer service during the interview.

Learn about the airline you are applying for. Most candidates have to listen to a basic overview or briefing about the airline and are then given a test of sorts that will reflect your knowledge of the airline. Pay close attention and do your best to focus your mind in order to pick up on small details that are offered in the briefing.

Be prepared for anything. The biggest key to remembering all the helpful suggestions that you can read in the days before the interview is to be prepared for anything and everything. The more you simply don't let your feathers get ruffled the more prepared that you are naturally going to be.

Your cabin crew interview may have a written exam, a multiple choice questionnaire, or require that you deliver an oral presentation. Visual cues for any presentation are very helpful. You will usually be informed ahead of time if you are to deliver an oral presentation. The final point you will want to consider is that the more familiar you are with the airline as well as the hiring process the better you're going to do during your cabin crew interview. Take the time to get some reputable information for the specific airline.

Hypnosis Is The Best Treatment For Stress.

By Dr. Phil Hariram

Without doubt hypnosis is a very effective treatment of stress. Stress results when a person feels that the task ahead of him is greater than the resources he can muster. Once he feels he is not up to the task, stress begins. Hypnosis changes his belief and hence strengthens his ability to cope. He now feels he has the tools to do the task efficiently.

Dr. Lipton said that up to 90% of diseases are caused by stress. Persistent stress starves vital organs of nutrients and oxygen. This is fine on the odd occasion but when it becomes persistent, diseases are likely.

Stress is not caused by the situation you confront but by the way you perceive this situation and whether you feel you have the coping mechanisms to deal with it. Hypnosis works remarkably well in stress because it changes your perception, expectation and belief.

After a course of hypnosis, stressful situations are converted to easy to do things and are no longer stressful. The hypnotist has changed your belief and you now know that you can handle all problems as they occur because you have the required resources.

Hypnosis takes you down to a deep relaxed state and to brainwave level theta. At this level, the filters that block unwanted messages from entering the Subconscious Mind, relaxes and the hypnotist is then able to embed positive changes in attitude, belief and expectation.

A treatment that is very effective for stress is meditation. However, for effective improvement, the stressed subject has to relax and clear his or her mind of all intrusive thoughts. This will be very difficult especially if the stress is severe. The better option is to have hypnotherapy to reduce stress first then use meditation as a long term stress treatment.

Anyone who has had stress will tell you it is a very unpleasant thing. Stress pushes aside all the fun things in your life. It steals enjoyment. Anxiety, rage, depression and anger are commonly associated with stress. You are also less creative and regularly make unnecessary mistakes. You lose your libido.

The most important concern about stress, is that it triggers the fight or flight reaction. This reaction prepares us for action when threatened with danger and shuts off oxygen and nutrients to some important organs while stimulating the heart. Continued stress could, therefore, affect these organs. This is the reason why researchers believe it is responsible for up to 90% of diseases.

Hypnosis can change your attitude to stress and it is not just a treatment for your present stress but it gives you belief and coping skills to control stress in the long term.

Once you are in a deep hypnotic trance, post hypnotic suggestions will be made. This is the most important part of hypnotherapy. These suggestions will decide how you cope with future stressful situations. Suggestions such as, you are calm and relaxed, are powerful and effective. In addition the hypnotist will suggest that you will not get stressed when confronted with a difficult task. Instead you will see it as a difficult task but it can be done and you will be looking at the best way to do it.

So instead of drugs, counselling, psychotherapy or CBT, have hypnotherapy for safe and outstanding results of all your stress problems. Remember hypnosis is nothing more than a state of heightened awareness where your right brain becomes very alert. It does not analyse or filter like the left brain. It simply accepts suggestions by the hypnotist while you remain in a calm relaxed altered sleep.

Ensuring School Success for Your Child

By Lori Radun

Whether you are sending your child off to preschool, middle school, high school or college, a new school year has begun. While some children love school and anticipate the first day with excitement, others groan when they think about school. For me, I looked forward to starting school, and especially loved the day I went shopping for new clothes and school supplies with my mom.

In our family, education is important to us. We work hard to instill good success habits, and with these ideas, you and your children can enjoy a successful school year too.

Establish Routines for Morning, After School and Bedtime

When my oldest son Kai was growing up, he was diagnosed with ADHD. It was then that I learned about how important routines were in a child's life. Children thrive on consistency and structure, and routines provide that repetition and instill good habits. Make up sheets of paper that list every step your child should take before school, after school and before he goes to bed. Be specific and practice these routines until they become natural and habitual.

Teach Your Children How to Set Goals

Once your children are old enough, give them a beginners course in setting goals for themselves. Keep it simple with children under age 12. Ask them to set one academic goal and one behavioral goal. For instance, I will work to get a B in Math this year or I will read 15 minutes every day. Good behavioral goals can focus on respecting other people, increasing confidence, or being more helpful. As your child gets older, he or she can learn to set larger goals that require more action steps, or increase the number of goals. Help your children create a colorful goals sheet or vision board as a reminder of what they are working on.

Communication is Essential

Parents that are involved with their child's education by keeping the lines of communication open help their child be more successful. Talk to the teachers regularly and make sure you are available to talk with your child. When a child is struggling in school, working together with the teachers can help you be a team in shaping your child's character in and out of school. While some children start talking the moment they walk in the door, others internalize what is going on at school. Ask open ended questions that encourage your child to talk, and listen without judgment to what is on their heart and mind. Bedtime and playtime are great times to get children to open up.

Focus on Your Child's Interests and Talents

Every child is special and different. Some children seem to be born natural athletes, while other children have natural intelligence, humor, or artistic abilities. How do you know what your child enjoys? Pay attention to what gives your child energy and what activities she naturally gravitates towards. Help your child identify what he is good at rather than always focusing on where he needs work. There is enough competition and comparisons going on in schools today. Children should be encouraged to compete with their personal best rather than comparing themselves to other children. Instead of worrying about what Johnny got on his spelling test, teach your child to try and beat his last spelling test score.

Minimize Your Childs Stressors

Stress, believe it or not, affects a child's life as well as our own. While child stress is different than adult stress, children have their own set of pressures to deal with. Peers pressure them, teachers sometimes have high expectations, and kids are continually faced with trying new things. Stress for a child can be expressed through misbehavior, irritability or increased sensitivity. If your child is experiencing stress, incorporate stress management techniques to help them cope. Help them learn to have flexible thoughts, stand up to bullies, or manage perfectionism and procrastination. Try not to overbook the family calendar with too many extracurricular activities. Make healthy eating, exercise and proper sleep important goals for all family members.

Success in school is a building block to success later in life. Using these tips will help you and your child create and celebrate a successful school year.

Cure Panic Attacks Quickly

By Lou Cameron

If you'd like to cure panic fits, you may want to consider an incredible program called Panic Away, created by Joe Barry. His program has helped thousands of sufferers.

Joe Barry talks about a method called the'One Move' and it makes a lot of sense, yet, hardly any folks would have even thought about it. It does take time and practice though.

What Are Panic Attacks?

Panic attacks are episodes of intense fear that might be due to an external stimuli or may appear out of the blue and for no apparent reason. The second is more troubling and can lead to agoraphobia.

With an external stimuli, you know the precise reason why it's happening. When it hits you for no reason, it can be terribly upsetting and difficult to understand. Plenty of these people rush to emergency rooms.

In order to deal with your panic or panic attacks, you must understand or educate yourself about what it is and why it's happening. Panic Away helps you do this.

It is also important to understand that the term'cure' doesn't suggest you will never get another episode ever again. You can. It all depends on each individual. But if it does, you know what to do.

Panic Away has Helped Thousands!

Panic Away is an e-book that may be downloaded in seconds. It does have a money-back guarantee e inside a certain period, so start reading and applying it quickly .

The reason behind the reason is because not every treatment will work for everybody. If you find it does nothing, at least you tried and you have lost nothing, but you've gained valuable information.

Just like hypnosis, drugs or herbal cures ; not everyone has favorable results. In that respect, Panic Away should be viewed the same way. However, it doesn't look like many folks ask for their money back!

Of course , there might be a few of you who may have gone to many doctors without getting much help. These things do happen. You have to accept it and try other avenues.

Without giving away too much, there's no doubt that the info in Panic Away will very likely help you to get your life back and end your suffering, as it has for many others who have used it to heal panic episodes.

Panic Away & The Linden system

It isn't the most popular program of this nature that's's available. Apparently, the Linden system is more popular but both programs have different styles and benefits.

Panic Away is more for someone that learns better by reading. The Linden methodology is for those who prefer listening.

Panic Away has actually helped yours truly as well and is a very endorsed product that is also shockingly reasonable. The superb thing about it is that you receive support for life! And the support is from none other than Joe Barry himself, the creator.

Also , I've known him to get in touch with me just to see how I liked the program and to see how things were going. It's great that he did that and it shows he is making an attempt to improve what he offers.

This is unquestionably worth looking into. It could be the answer you have been despairingly looking for. .

The Truth About The Secret Of Abundance

By Mickie Lake

Many individuals all over the world are searching for the means of changing their life. They are searching for the magic that gives them the secret they are missing. They consider once they have this it will give them all they ever wanted. Many of them will spend countless years and money to find it. You are given that secret right now. Your search is finally over. The desire for it consumed your mind and inspired you to keep searching for it and now the universe is offering it to you.

First, you need to know that an abundant life does not mean you have all the money in the world. To live an abundant life you need three things and they are health, money and relationships. Some people may disagree and then tell you the secret to an abundant life is having money. This is simply not true.

Think about it like this, if you had millions of dollars, more money then you could ever spend but your health was so poor that you only had days to live or your health was so poor that all you could do was lay in your bed and stare at the ceiling, what good is the money? Likewise, if you are healthy but alone and have no one to share your life with, what good is it to be healthy? You need to have all three components fulfilled to live an abundant life.

With that being said, you need to know the secret that will unlock that abundance so that you are not only healthy, but you have a meaningful relationship and you have the money to live the life you want. Here you go; the secret of abundance is your thoughts and emotions. Yes, it is that simple. Your thoughts and your emotions are the makers of your life. They hold the power to create the life you want or keep you in the life you are currently living.

Many individuals reading this may shake their head and tell you this is a lie. If the secret of abundance depended upon your thoughts and emotions, that everyone would have an abundant life. These individuals are correct. If everyone has the power to create an abundant life, then why is he or she not doing so?

The list of reasons could be rather long, but they all stem from one fundamental issue. People don't want to live a life of abundance. It is far easier to live the way they are and complain about it. Do you think that Donald Trump has spent one day in his life feeling sorry for himself? Do you think that Bill Gates doubted that he would be a millionaire? The answer is no. No they didn't, haven't and won't. They have had the mindset from the beginning that they would be successful, that they would be the masters of their own lives that they would live a life of abundance.

There is no reason to believe that the secret is so simple. Remember, everything you see and use started as a thought that someone manifested into reality. The car you drive, the seatbelts you use while driving, the deck you enjoy, the toys your child loves and the space shuttle all started as a thought.

What this means is you can start right now to create the life you desire. You need to determine what you want. Be specific, you can even write it down. When you determine what you want, look around and then be thankful for what you have now. It may not be perfect; it may not even be exactly what you want right now. However, if you do not appreciate what you already have, you can never have better.

Determine what you really want and then permit that thought to overcome you as it burns deeply in your heart, soul and mind. Become excited about it becoming a reality and then allow your emotions to empower that thought. Send an overwhelming message into the universe. You have to believe in what you want and that it is coming to you. While this is happening, you have to learn and do what you need to do to make it become a reality.

Hidden inside your mind, thoughts and emotions, is the secret of abundance, when you change the way you think and feel you can create abundance!

How To Cure Panic Attacks

By Lou Cameron

If you've suffered from panic attacks, you know how absolutely weakening they can be. They're physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually draining. They can influence your work, relationship with your friends, friendships and your capability to entirely enjoy your life. They've been described by some as waking bad dreams. How are you able to cure panic attacks?

For those that are lucky enough not to suffer these episodes, panic episodes are the sudden onset of unreasonable fear that begin with no reason. They can be short, occasionally only lasting minutes or they can persist for up to a half an hour. The physical effects can be quite varied : from stuff like a quick heart beat, sweating, quivering, hot flashes to trouble swallowing frequently, the lasting effects can be quite acute.

Then there are the deeper and perhaps more pointed psychological and emotional effects. These attacks can become so severe that one may be afraid to do the most simple of routines,eg picking up the telephone to return a call, or going out with friends or perhaps shopping for groceries. It can become sufficiently bad that some will only do these things when accompanied by a friend or member of the family. It can become so bad that suicide could be contemplated. The easiest way to cure panic episodes then must become a significant focus in their lives.

It should go without saying that if you have repeated panic fits, a medical professional should be consulted as well as your spiritual adviser. Often times, there may be a very rooted trigger that sets these attacks off. If you'll find that trigger ( introspection is known as for here ), you could be able to stop these attacks yourself, though if they endure, medical assistance is highly recommended before it is getting beyond control. In all cases, you need to take action and see about the way to cure panic attacks, rather than hoping they'll'just go away,' as over time they are going to affect the quality of your life.

So, how to cure panic attacks? There are many techniques, but if you just commence with one and do it consistently, this will help. First, realize that you are going to get through this. Take a chair and sit in it, gently gripping the armrests. Next, concentrate on a spot at eye level. It's not relevant what you concentrate on, so long as you you keep looking at that spot and not anywhere else. Next, focus on taking slow deep breaths, pausing between each breath, as this will calm your body but also help calm and center your consciousness.

If you can't get sufficient oxygen, you'll remain perturbed so don't skip this step. Once you have done that, start announcing what you see. You can also repeat an individual mantra. When i am perturbed and unfocused, I start running through everything that I'm grateful for, from my life to my relationships, to my home and everything in between. This will help ground you. Do this till the panic fit subsides.

How Long Does It Take to See Results with Personal Training?

By Amy Nutt

Personal trainers help people plan and implement a fitness program to lose weight and strengthen and tone their muscles. They also help motivate their clients to stick to their goals.

Because each person is different, the results of working with a personal trainer will vary. As long as you follow the fitness program designed by your personal trainer and follow a healthy diet, you can generally begin to see results in about one week. It is not recommended that you follow your progress using a scale because when you are engaging in a fitness routine created by a trainer you will be toning your muscles. As you burn the fat with your workouts, it is being replaced by muscle, so the scale does not reflect your actual fitness progress. It is recommended that go by how your clothes fit and your energy level. Generally speaking, following the fitness program created by your personal trainer, you can reasonably expect to lose 1-2 pounds of fat per week. Personal training programs also promote healthy weight loss that can be maintained by increasing metabolism and decreasing body fat.

You should begin to feel the results of your personally created work out almost immediately. A significant increase in strength and noticeable loss of weight can be seen in about 4 to 6 weeks. It is important to be aware that weight loss does not happen over night. The benefit of having a personal trainer is that he or she will keep you motivated while you work to achieve your desired results.

Most personal training programs are one hour long and are modified and enhanced as your strength and endurance increases. This allows your workouts to remain strenuous, but not overwhelming. The physical benefits that you receive when working with a personal trainer include: increased endurance, increased toning, improve muscle imbalances, increased flexibility, improved posture, strengthened lower back, improved coordination and balance, and building bigger muscles.

The health benefits of having personal trainer include: increased bone density, increased cardiovascular-endurance, decreased risk of diseases, increased good cholesterol (HDL) and decreased bad cholesterol (LDL), reducing aches and pains, reduce stress, and boost metabolism. As well, you will have a boost in your immune system, improved blood circulation, decreased risk of injury, nutritional advice and meal planning, improved motivational habits, improved confidence and self-esteem, improved sleep, increased sex drive, burn more calories, and improved overall health.

Encouragement is a part of achieving fitness success. A personal trainer will be there with you every step of the way to cheer you on. A personal trainer can introduce new types of exercise to target to your goals and will be there when you feel frustrated. It is important to remember that a toned body and weight loss does not happen overnight. It is important to be patient and follow the advice of your personal trainer. Having a fit and healthy body takes a lot of work and strength of mind. A personal trainer is there to help you achieve your desired results.

Gary Young: The Man Who Made A Difference

By Jason Willard

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This is the principle Gary Young lives by. His courage to grab every opportunity as it knocks on the door led him to found Young Living Essential Oils and the D. Gary Young Foundation.

Gary Young is an eager advocate for essential oils. He and many others who joined him in Young Living Essential Oils believe in the benefits of natural healing and herbal medicines. Gary Young made a mark with his own name in the essential oils community by proactively travelling the world looking for essential oils and promoting physical and emotional wellness through these essential oils.

Previous testimonials and even medical practitioners have the same opinion that Young Living products have top notch quality and effective essential oils. These essential oils offered by his company vary in different blends and therapeutic claims.

Young Living essential oils are soothing in aromatherapy, used in massage therapy, personal care, cleansing, weight management, emotional health and nutritional supplements. These are just the few good things that essentials oils can offer us. Another good thing about this product is that it's purely natural and conventional to use; even our ethnic people use it in anointing and for medicine.

It was a success for Gary Young all throughout the years for the abundant contribution of essential oils. And for travelling the world, he had been exposed to poverty and poor health care from various places and thus led him to found the D. Gary Young Foundation - a non profit organization he started to help the neediest communities he had encountered. Through this organization he had built schools and promoted health care and nutrition.

Among his works are books such as "Aromatherapy: the Essential Beginning" and "Essential Oils Desk Reference" that was published based largely on Gary Young's clinical research. This book is now on its 4th edition. Gary Young has shared his knowledge and compassion to many Young Living believers through his publications.

Being a degree holder in nutrition and having a doctorate in naturopathy under his belt, still Gary has received criticism and reviews about his works. But Gary had displayed a humble and positive outlook even among the critiques.

Through his work in essential oils, it's unbelievable that he has come such a long way, and people look up to him as a man of pure passion and dedication. As they say, "Destiny is a not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice" and for Gary Young, he did not wait for it. He made a way to achieve it.

Playing by New Rules

By John Berling Hardy

We all know these people, those slick, smooth manipulators who seem to get away with murder, do as little as humanly possible and end up living the life of Riley. For a number of reasons our society is set up in such a way that it is very difficult for them to lose. It is as if life was a huge Game and they were the master players. What is the average person to do when confronted with such practiced charlatans?

The task of beating the Players at their own Game seems at first impossibly daunting. They know the rules inside out, have risen to positions of great power and authority, and are far more experienced than we are. How can someone like you or I hope to prevail in a showdown against them?

We need to find a strategy that allows us to play the game from a weaker position. The Players' strategies are premised upon having the higher ground, having the advantage of leverage. This is at once the strength and weakness of the status quo. On a day-to-day basis it affords them the luxury of being able to win consistently with relatively little risk or effort.

Now dependant upon always acting from a position of strength, most Players are left floundering when that much-needed stability falls away. They have nowhere to run except to their habit for blustering their way out of trouble, a strategy which can only lead them into a worse predicament. By contrast we, as outsiders, lack the initial advantage of the Players, but we are blessed with intelligence and creativity, and it is upon these that we must rely for our ultimate success.

Fortunately, Players are particularly susceptible to being played. The great majority of Players are nothing more than one-trick ponies. The Players never expect the sheep to use their own tactics against them. The reason for this is twofold.

First, the average Player views the rest of us as fools, incapable of thinking tactically. Second, they see themselves as gifted with a shrewdness which the rest of us simply do not have.

On the surface, we seduce the Player, lulling them into a false sense of security while we go about their undoing. To do this, we must first develop ways of identifying them. Next, we must learn to understand their nuances, so that we may differentiate between various types of Players and thereby better attune our movements to theirs. Next, we observe their movements to discern the underlying pattern hidden beneath. Players are always 'on their game'. That is to say, they never let up in pursuing their hidden agenda.

Because a Player thinks of himself as supreme he takes no notice of his own mistakes, believing himself incapable of making any. In addition, his unwillingness to take an interest in anything which will not benefit him materially makes him remarkably shallow. If problems do arise he will have no way of thinking creatively in order to address them, and will therefore be reduced to a state of panic, and so the downward spiral begins.

It is also important to observe that Players will only take action if their success is assured - they are, essentially, lacking in courage. By forcing them into a corner we can undermine them completely. So weak is the Player cut off from his advantage in The Game that his cowardice will shine through and he will be destroyed.

What Exercises are considerable for CT Symptoms?

By Tom Nicholson

You might be getting really frustrated with the carpal tunnel symptoms that just won't let up. You could be in a lot of pain and find that aspirin just isn't helping. You may be looking for ways to get your hands on some effective pain relievers. You need to stop this line of thinking right away. If carpal tunnel syndrome isn't properly treated the symptoms will just get worse and you will become even more unproductive than you are right now.

Just keep in mind that your hands are precious. The truth is that you cannot do anything without them, and so it is important for you do know the science behind your wrist and hand movements and to also know what to do to keep your hands loose to prevent carpal tunnel pain. It isn't difficult to do and will save you time and money in the future. Your hands need you!

But what is carpal tunnel syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome is a nerve condition that effects the hands, fingers and arms and is attributed to pain (and is also caused by) repetitive motion from a job or hobby that you frequently perform. Some of these jobs are as typists, construction workers or even football players. The condition starts when the median nerve is pinched at the point of the wrist.

The median nerve runs the length of the arm and is bunched together by the transverse carpal ligament there. This transverse carpal ligament can become tightened around the wrist thus causing the problem with the median nerve.

The symptoms can be mildly annoying to debilitating depending on the severity and how long you leave it untreated. Symptoms are wide ranging; from tingling in the fingers and hands, to numbness or a burning sensation in the forearm area. Sometimes the hands and fingers will grow numb or cold. There can even be pain and complete loss of functionality for short periods of time! Of course, this leads to back problems, neck problems, or shoulder problems do to the poor posture you may take on as you try to alleviate the stress from your wrists. It is like a complete unbalancing of your body in order to compensate for the pain in your wrists and hands.

What do people do about carpal tunnel symptoms? Many people consider surgery for carpal tunnel symptoms, but that can be a very risky path to take. After all, we really don't know the full results of any surgery, and so even this simple procedure can cause some major problems for you down the road. And do you really want your transverse carpal ligament severed? Sure, it heals back but no one knows how well the recovery will actually go and whether or now you will regain all the strength in your hands again. Surgery should be considered only as a last resort! You can reduce or even reverse the effects of carpal tunnel syndrome by taking some time to do some simple stretches and exercises. You can make simple movements with your hands, such as pinching something and then stretching your hands wide. You can even pull your fingers down, bending the wrist and stretching out the transverse carpal ligament. You can even ball your hand into a fist and then bend it downward at the wrist. You can just feel the transverse carpal ligament stretching into a comfortable position. A few minutes of great exercises and you'll be ready to get back to work.

Choosing The Right Adobe Web Design Training - Thoughts

By Jason Kendall

If you've aspirations to be a professional web designer with the right credentials for the current working environment, your must-have certification is Adobe Dreamweaver.

We'd also suggest that students get an in-depth understanding of the entire Adobe Web Creative Suite, including Flash and Action Script, in order to facilitate Dreamweaver professionally as a web designer. This can take you on to becoming an ACP (Adobe Certified Professional) or an ACE (Adobe Certified Expert).

Knowing how to design the website just gets you started. Driving traffic, maintaining content and programming database-driven sites are the next things. Aim for training that also cover these skills maybe PHP, HTML, and MySQL, in addition to search engine optimisation (SEO) and E-Commerce skills.

A sneaky way that training providers make extra profits is by charging for exams up-front and then including an 'Exam Guarantee'. It looks like a good deal, till you look at the facts:

In this day and age, we tend to be a tad more knowledgeable about sales gimmicks - and the majority of us ought to grasp that it is something we're paying for (it isn't free or out of the goodness of their hearts!)

Those who take each progressive exam, funding them as they go are in a much stronger position to qualify at the first attempt. They're conscious of their spending and so are more inclined to ensure they are ready.

Shouldn't you be looking to not pay up-front, but at the time, rather than coughing up months or even a year or two in advance to the training company, and also to sit exams more locally - rather than possibly hours away from your area?

Is there a good reason to pay interest on a bigger loan than is necessary because you've paid early for exams when you don't need to? Huge profits are netted by organisations getting paid upfront for exams - and hoping either that you won't take them, or it will be a long time before you do.

Don't forget, with 'Exam Guarantees' from most places - the company controls how often and when you are allowed to have another go. You will have to demonstrate an excellent pass-rate before they'll approve a re-take.

Prometric and VUE exams are around 112 pounds in the United Kingdom today. Why spend so much more on 'Exam Guarantee' fees (most often hidden in the package) - when a quality course, support and a commitment to studying and the use of authorised exam preparation tools are actually the key to your success.

Be alert that all exams that you're considering will be commercially viable and are bang up to date. 'In-house' exams and the certificates they come with are not normally useful in gaining employment.

From the perspective of an employer, only the big-boys such as Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA or Adobe (as an example) really carry any commercial clout. Nothing else hits the mark.

Have you recently questioned the security of your job? For most people, this isn't an issue until something goes wrong. However, the painful truth is that true job security simply doesn't exist anymore, for all but the most lucky of us.

Security only exists now in a swiftly escalating marketplace, driven by a shortage of trained workers. It's this alone that creates the right conditions for a secure market - a more attractive situation all round.

Reviewing the computing sector, the 2006 e-Skills survey showed a twenty six percent shortage in trained professionals. Showing that for each 4 job positions that exist in the computer industry, there are only 3 trained people to do them.

This glaring reality shows the urgent need for more commercially certified IT professionals throughout the UK.

Undoubtedly, now, more than ever, really is a critical time to retrain into Information Technology (IT).

Don't accept anything less than accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system included in the package you choose.

Due to the fact that most examining boards for IT come from the United States, you'll need to be used to the correct phraseology. It's not sufficient just answering any old technical questions - they must be in an exam format that exactly replicates the real thing.

Practice exams can be invaluable as a tool for logging knowledge into your brain - so when it comes to taking the real deal, you won't be worried.

If your advisor doesn't ask you a lot of questions - the likelihood is they're actually nothing more than a salesman. If they push a particular product before learning about your history and experience, then you know you're being sold to.

If you've got a strong background, or even a touch of commercial experience (some certifications gained previously perhaps?) then obviously the level you'll need to start at will be very different from a trainee who has no experience.

Working through a basic PC skills program first may be the ideal way to commence your IT program, but depends on your skill level.

Body Building Supplements, Do You Need Them?

By Ricardo d Argence

Muscle building is not only relevant for men, it has become increasingly more popular for women to be concerned about building muscle. It is often believed that developed muscles are only for strong men like Tarzan.

There are two sides to the concept of building muscles. First, it benefits the muscles through toning, keeping them healthy and strong. Second, it prevents fat from accumulating around your muscles. Your extremities are powerful still at the same time, they are preserved non-fleshy and robust.

The chances are you lead a hectic life so you'll ask the inevitable question: How on earth will I ever find time devoted to muscle building when I need to use my time to make money instead? That's a good question, but there's a good answer available to this question and it centers on bolstering your diet with health food supplements.

See for yourself how many of these are available in the marketplace. They claim to produce good muscle definition and rapid fat-burning, therefore if they perform as claimed, they will certainly facilitate your muscle-amassing workout, and thus are beneficial.

At this point I must offer you a word of caution, however. Chemical products activate health food supplements in your body, which aid stress and fatigue control. For instance, Glutamine is one of them. Oxides of nitrate or even nitric acid are two others. Proteins and enzymes will be there too.

These items are generally harmless, and the small amounts administered can be absorbed through the body with no trouble. You're likely to feel fit and muscle-toned, soon enough. Sure, you'll also be thrilled!

As because there are numerous competing brands fighting for customers' attention on store shelves, therefore choosing your health food supplement is something you can do by yourself. Don't pick one of them at random.

Depending on your body's constitution, the supplemental additives cited above may possibly have side effects on your health. You must know that nitric acid can impinge upon your sexual health.

Before starting a health food supplement regimen, it is advised to consult a physician who knows your health history. He'll tell you what's best for you. Fruits and vegetables naturally contain some additives and can do the same job simply by adjusting your diet properly. Prior medical advice is recommended and so while taking health food supplements are probably good for you.

All of the above taken together will show you a body with well-toned muscles when you stand in front of a tall mirror!

Quick Ways To Lose Fat Naturally - The Options

By Scott Edwards

Weight Reduction Is Massive... It's essential to grasp that the business of slimming is exactly that - a very profitable market. Several billion dollars of diet products are purchased every year.

So How Extensive Is Obesity? The fact that you're looking at this article probably means you have a problem with weight. Amazingly, over two-thirds of the US populace are classed as needing weight loss. In other words, 210,000,000... And in fact the figure hovers around 60 per cent in many other places. This can't go on.

In Great Britain, it's estimated that one quarter of the adult population is at least 30-40 pounds overweight. But look at this - It might be around twenty five per cent now, but it could be ninety per cent by the middle of the century.

It really does not have to happen though. Nobody would wish this problem on either themselves or others. But we don't have to fall for the commercial pills and potions - what we need is reasonable, workable advice.

Very overweight individuals are more susceptible to contracting the following - Heart Failure & Disease, Cancers, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes (Type Two), Mental Health Issues, Sleep Apnoea, High Cholesterol, Osteo-arthritis and Disease of the Liver. Obviously with the threat of all these health issues, reducing our weight is a major priority.

Reducing your weight and getting into good physical shape is more important than being thin. In truth, we most likely have a gut feel for the weight that works best for our body.

We should also teach our kids about good health. If we're being responsible parents, we have to show them with our actions. Keep doing the same thing, and both you and the kids will have to live with the consequences. Which mom and pop wants that?

So we have to understand the basics about nutrition - it's just as important to know what's good for us as it is to know what's bad. It's only when we've got a handle on healthy eating ourselves that we can teach it to others. Let's be honest, our children's children could escape obesity if we put the right habits into the family today.

By Steve Bartlett

It is believed that only twenty-five percent of today's population believe in reincarnation. With a low percentage of believers, this does not mean that it is true. Haven't you ever felt pulled towards something, or a connection with something and you had no idea why? Ever have a talent you didn't know where it came from? You know what I'm talking about and the answer may be as simple as it was something that was once important to you in your past life.

Many people miss the opportunity or over look the validity and lose the chance to truly grow as a person. They never learn who they are today and why they are that way. You can hinder your own success or achievement by not getting in touch with who you were in those past lives.

You can rescue your past self and help them to be successful with dealing with the trauma. The trauma can be viewed by the Higher Self.

You can contact your creative side through past life regression. Nobody lacks a mix of talents and attributes that steer them towards certain life decisions over other choices. With a past life regression we can use the inner guide to bring back attributes from one or more past lives.

We don't want bad karma coming back to us, but karma always does. With past life regression we can revisit a past life in which we created or banded a contract or agreement that is now bringing us issues in this life. We can with the help of an inner guide, modify it or rewrite this contract to unbind us from what is holding us down in that life, and heal today.

Affirmation of oneself is a huge benefit of going through our past life regression.

Commonly people who go through past life regression feel more grounded, and know what makes them who they are today. This is because they learn where each attribute, talent, connection, characteristic, desires and passions stem from. This allows them to embrace who they are and gives them a more rounded life.

Perhaps you feel that certain events or feelings you have are just made up in your mind, but you need to open your mind and break down the walls and stop what is blocking you from achieving total satisfaction in your life.

To go over again, what we've touched upon is that the benefits of past life regression is dealing with traumatic events in the past can push teach you how to go forward in your current life. By acknowledging issues from he past you are well equipped now to make better decisions, use those experiences to be more experienced today.
