Secret Seven


1. A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.

2. Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that dis-empowers them or one that can literally save their lives.

3. I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.

4. If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.

5. It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.

6. Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.

7. You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

The Secret to Riches

The Secret to Riches And the key to Wealth is excepting it. The first step to this is to get your mind rapped around the idea that this is the way it was intended. There is absolutely no reason at all for you not to have the things you want and desire. Its really no secret at all. Sometimes Positive thoughts and abundance do not fit into our worldly thinking. Your existence is much more than the chunk of meat that you live in called your body. So Why should you only settle for what you think your physical abilities are.And let me let you in on a little secret. Your physical abilities are much greater than you think they are too. But the mind set that you have to have in order to aline yourself with it. Is far greater than just your Physical ability. Here is another secret the light bulb did not come into creation through physical power. The true secret is that we have to un program our old way of thinking thats been drilled into our heads from the beginning of time. Old Thinking passed down from generations to generation. You have heard it is to good to be true. If that's what you want to believe then this is your truth. Why sell yourself short, you deserve much much more. Believe it to be so in what you want and embrace that thought every moment and watch it come to life right in front of your eyes, closer and closer everyday. Dont give up and dont give in. know that you know that you know and soon things will move towards you faster than you ever imagined it to be understood. You dont need to know why so much,as Just believing that you will have all you need because that is the way it needs to be to start manifesting the true secret of living an amazing life filled with an abundance of your greatest desire.

Your words and thoughts have physical power.

In life many people wonder why things dont always go the way they want them to but do not realize that in every thought they think and words they speak starts the physical formation of what begins to appears in our lives. It is normal to have negative thoughts from time to time because we do not live in a perfect world, Or Do We? The key is when a thought like that shows up you just need to make the decision weather or not you want to entertain that though for a long time or if you want to change the path to a better one immediately. This is where skill comes in to play. With all things you must practice to make perfect, all though some are borne with more talent than other, anyone can hon the skills of being discipline and beat there fears into submission. it was once said your biggest fear should be fear itself I would have to say this is pretty right on. Why. Because fear is a negative emotion and because it is fear you tend to pay more attention to it which starts the physical birth of some kind of reaction. This is why most people that fear that they are going to get hurt get hurt more than the rest. Or think they are going to be sick and then it happens. If you fear that you dont have enough money to pay the bills and speak and think these thoughts and words everyday then guess what, You are creating the physical reaction to show up in your life. This is why it is good to marinate yourself in love and positive good word's and belief that good things are heading your way at all times. You deserve it, It is your birth right. Own it. except it. enjoy it. Live it. Expect it. more and more, every moment. and when the other thoughts of fear come, Do Not Entertain it. leave it behind and get right back on track with the truth! Live every monent of this life like there is no tomorrow, because it is not a rehearsal. So Start getting from it what is yours. GREATNESS!!!

FOREX


Margin Trading

Foreign exchange is normally traded on margin. A relatively small deposit can control much larger positions in the market. For trading the main currencies, Saxo Bank requires a 1% margin deposit. This means that in order to trade one million dollars, you need to place just USD 10,000 by way of security.

In other words, you will have obtained a gearing of up to 100 times. This means that a change of, say 2%, in the underlying value of your trade will result in a 200% profit or loss on your deposit. As you can see, this calls for a very disciplined approach to trading as both profit opportunities and potential risks are very large indeed.

Base Currency and Variable Currency


When you trade, you will always trade a combination of two currencies. For example, you will buy US dollars and sell euro. Or buy euro and sell Japanese yen, or any other combination of dozens of widely traded currencies. But there is always a long (bought) and a short (sold) side to a trade, which means that you are speculating on the prospect of one of the currencies strengthening in relation to the other.

The trade currency is normally, but not always, the currency with the highest value. When trading US dollars against Singapore dollars, the normal way to trade is buying or selling a fixed amount of US dollars, i.e. USD 1,000,000. When closing the position, the opposite trade is done, again USD 1,000,000. The profit or loss will be apparent in the change of the amount of SGD credited and debited for the two transactions. In other words, your profit or loss will be denominated in SGD, which is known as the price currency.

Dealing Spread, but No Commissions


When trading foreign exchange, you are quoted a dealing spread offering you a buying and a selling level for your trade. Once you accept the offered price and receive confirmation from our dealers, the trade is done. There is no need to call an exchange floor. There are no other time-consuming delays. This is possible due to live streaming prices, which are also a great advantage in times of fast-moving markets: You can see where the market is trading and you know whether your orders are filled or not.

The dealing spread is typically 3-5 points in normal market conditions. This means that you can sell US dollars against the euro at 1.7780 and buy at 1.7785. There are no further costs, commissions or exchange fees.

This ensures that you can get in and out of your trades at very low slippage and many traders are therefore active intra-day traders, given that a typical day in USDEUR presents price swings of 150-200 points.

Spot and forward trading

When you trade foreign exchange you are normally quoted a spot price. This means that if you take no further steps, your trade will be settled after two business days. This ensures that your trades are undertaken subject to supervision by regulatory authorities for your own protection and security. If you are a commercial customer, you may need to convert the currencies for international payments. If you are an investor, you will normally want to swap your trade forward to a later date. This can be undertaken on a daily basis or for a longer period at a time. Often investors will swap their trades forward anywhere from a week or two up to several months depending on the time frame of the investment.

Although a forward trade is for a future date, the position can be closed out at any time - the closing part of the position is then swapped forward to the same future value date.

Interest Rate Differentials

Different currencies pay different interest rates. This is one of the main driving forces behind foreign exchange trends. It is inherently attractive to be a buyer of a currency that pays a high interest rate while being short a currency that has a low interest rate.

Although such interest rate differentials may not appear very large, they are of great significance in a highly leveraged position. For example, the interest rate differential between the US dollar and the Japanese yen has been approximately 5% for several years. In a position that can be supported by a 5% margin deposit, this results in a 100% profit on capital per annum when you buy the US dollar. Of course, an even more important factor normally is the relative value of the currencies, which changed 15% from low to high during 2005 – disregarding the interest rate differential. From a pure interest rate differential viewpoint, you have an advantage of 100% per annum in your favour by being long US dollar and an initial disadvantage of the same size by being short.
Such a situation clearly benefits the high interest rate currency and as result, the US dollar was in a strong bull market all through 2005. But it is by no means a certainty that the currency with the higher interest rate will be strongest. If the reason for the high interest rate is runaway inflation, this may undermine confidence in the currency even more than the benefits perceived from the high interest rate.

Stop-loss discipline


As you can see from the description above, there are significant opportunities and risks in foreign exchange markets. Aggressive traders might experience profit/loss swings of 20-30% daily. This calls for strict stop-loss policies in positions that are moving against you.

Fortunately, there are no daily limits on foreign exchange trading and no restrictions on trading hours other than the weekend. This means that there will nearly always be an opportunity to react to moves in the main currency markets and a low risk of getting caught without the opportunity of getting out. Of course, the market can move very fast and a stop-loss order is by no means a guarantee of getting out at the desired level.

But the main risk is really an event over the weekend, where all markets are closed. This happens from time to time as many important political events, such as G7 meetings, are normally scheduled for weekends.

For speculative trading, we always recommend the placement of protective stop-lossorders. With Saxo Bank Internet Trading you can easily place and change such orders while watching market development graphically on your computer screen

Music Can Move Your Brain Waves to Benefit You!


No doubt you've watched a child, "shake his bootie" when he hears fast-beat music. Or you've sung a soft lullaby to rock her to sleep. Music moves our brian waves. Research shows us how....

Red and green jagged lines scroll across the computer screen as soft “bubbling creek” music plays in the
McDaniel College lab. From the intensity of the spikes, students read the wave of activity in their professor’s right- and left-brain hemispheres.

What are these brain waves and how do they work? According to
Dimitri Valouev, Institute of Higher Nervous Activity & Neuro-physiology, Moscow, there are four brain waves, BETA, ALPHA, THETA, DELTA described as follows:

Good BETA & Bad BETA frequencies…Good Beta correspond to states of great clarity....
Bad Beta correspond to "hyperactive", compulsive behaviours.

ALPHA waves -- When we close our eyes & relax inside the electric activity of our brain produces somewhat slower waves. When we are in Alpha, we can visualize scenes on our inner psychic screen, our imagination becomes vivid, we are peaceful & relaxed .

THETA, In deeper states yet, we reach a slower type of activity, a precise signal that we are in highly creative states, able to shuffle down information and reshuffle it into other new directions. In these creative or flow states we can have sudden intuitions giving us seemingly ready-made insights & new solutions to old unresolved problems (the EUREKA state!).

DELTA waves -- Very very slow waves corresponding to unconscious information processing, subconscious scanning of environment to find important information for survival ...We can learn to develop and recognize these different brain waves & access to our higher potential.

So how do these brain wave facts affect us? If we use music to alter our brain waves, we can enhance our creativity or diminish times of stress. Don Campbell’s findings show our heart responds to music. Heart rates speed up or slow down to match the music we hear. The faster the music, the faster the heart beats! Like slower breathing, lower heartbeat creates less stress and helps the body heal itself.

Ellen Weber provides a great list based on Campbell’s Mozart Effect so that you can select kinds of music to match your needs.

Heavy metal and hip-hop excites our nervous system, and sometimes leads us into acting out dynamic behavior and self-expression.

Rock, from Elvis Presley to the Rolling Stones, stirs passion and activity, and so can release daily tensions. Rock can also mask pain and cover up unpleasant noises. It also has the power to create dissonance, stress or physical pain if we are not in the mood for energizing.

Salsa, rhumba, merengue and any form of South American music sets our hearts racing, gets us moving, both relaxing us and awakening us at the same time. Top 40, Country or

Big Band, engages our emotions and comfort us.

Jazz, blues, soul or calypso can uplift and inspire us, releasing deep joy or even deep sadness, conveying wit and affirming our common humanity.

Classical, such as Haydn and Mozart, often improves concentration and memory when played in the background.

Slower Baroque, such as Bach, Handel, Vivaldi or Corelli, can create mentally stimulating environments for creativity and new innovations.

Romantic – such as, Schubert, Schumann, Tchaikovsky , Chopin and Liszt, enhances our senses and increases a sense of sympathy and love.

Religious and sacred, such as hymns and gospel moves us to feel grounded in the moment, and leads to deep peace and spiritual awareness. Sacred music often helps us to transcend pain.

Impressionist, such as Debussy, Faure and Ravel, can unlock dreamlike images that put us in touch with our unconscious thoughts and belief systems.

Ambient or New Age, such as Stephen Halpern and Brian Eno has no dominant rhythm, so it elongates the sense of space and time, inducing a state of relaxed alertness.
Gregorian chant creates quiet in our minds and can reduce stress.

Why not begin experimenting and see how different kinds of music can improve you to next levels?

Feng Shui FAQS


  1. What is feng shui and what is its purpose?
  2. Where does the practice of feng shui come from?
  3. What are the benefits of feng shui?
  4. Is feng shui the real deal or just superstition?
  5. How does feng shui work?
  6. How can I judge whether implementing feng shui principles in my office really helped?
  7. What are some basic feng shui principles?
  8. What is a bagua map?
  9. What kinds of companies out there do feng shui interior design arrangements for office furniture?

1) What is feng shui and what is its purpose?

Feng shui is a body of knowledge containing best practices and a set of guidelines for creating a balanced, harmonious environment, in terms of both exterior and interior applications. Pronounced “fung shway,” feng shui is derived from the Chinese words for “wind” and “water.”

Besides its origins with its focus centering on generating oneness with nature, feng shui’s meaning of “wind” and “water” is doubly relevant in that these two elements are very sensitive to the energy passing through each other. A calm night may have placid mist on the water and a gentle breeze, but if there is energy in disharmony, a hurricane could occur.

To prevent hurricanes from happening, feng shui teaches a combination of simple and complex rules that are orchestrated to correctly channel the energy around us and in us, which is called “chi” or “qi”. In business terms, your company’s chi could be interpreted as a mixture of what propels your team and compels clients towards mutual harmony and benefit. In other words, your company’s chi is basically the energy from your surroundings that promotes good business. Feng shui’s chi impacts on how comfortable you might feel in your home, the stress level at work, and even how welcome a new client feels upon entering your office.

2) Where does the practice of feng shui come from?

Ancient Chinese shamans and kings used feng shui principles involving astronomy to find connections between mankind and their surrounding home in the universe. Closely utilizing the science and cosmography of the first magnetic luopan compass and the luiren astrolabe, feng shui was used as a tool to determine time and layout plans for agriculture for bountiful harvests and to arrange graves, homes, palaces, businesses, and even whole cities. Feng shui relics and artifacts have been found dating back to even 3000 BC. It was during the Zhou dynasty (770-476 BC) that feng shui became interwoven with the I-Ching classic Book of Changes, fortune-reading trigrams and hexagrams with advice for what to do in certain situations in life.

3) What are the benefits of feng shui?

While the applications of feng shui have evolved over the years and some of the nuances of the rules have changed leading to new schools of thought, the art of feng shui has been tried and tested and has yielded thousands of years of steady results. Users of feng shui in the workplace cite increased productivity, reduced stress from disharmonious surroundings resulting in better health, morale, and energy level, and improved confidence among the benefits produced by feng shui’s impact. Other benefits include improved employee employer relations, better logistical flow of people, nicer office and office furniture aesthetics, and a deeper connection with nature.

4) Is feng shui the real deal or just superstition?

While some of feng shui’s belying meaning may seem mystical, much of feng shui is rooted in common sense and practical living. It has also been tried and tested over 5000 years and is still around. In fact, feng shui has been employed in some of the world’s most famous and successful architecture of both ancient and modern times. It should be noted that mystic astrology and scientific astronomy have closely been related since their beginnings, and a case can be made for astronomical alignments impacting life and energy – even stock prices – on Earth. As technology advances, more applications can be found for feng shui. Environmental psychology notes the benefits of ergonomically designed furniture based on scientifically reducing stress on the natural curves of the body – why not also a holistic ergonomic of naturally fitting into one’s environment?

5) How does feng shui work?

Feng shui takes information about your surrounding environment, accesses tools such as a bagua map, luoshu grid or luopan compass, and determines a reading for the appropriate design, layout and siting of a place of residency, business, repose, etc. Then a process is put into action involving the removal of bad energy, followed by the arranging of objects and furniture to channel the optimal flow of positive energy, and the additional placement of objects or arrangement to get the energy going. The way it works after this process takes place is really a continual awareness and sensitivity towards one’s surroundings and a attuning to a positive attitude towards becoming one with nature.

6) How can I judge whether implementing feng shui principles in my office really helped?

Write a checklist of before and after questions and survey your employees. You might ask:

  • What is your personal stress level like at work?
  • Are you more in tune with your surroundings?
  • Do you feel that your concentration level has improved?
  • Are your communications with fellow employees and supervisors improved?
  • Is it easier to get around the office?
  • What were you holding onto before implementing feng shui office techniques that you have since let go of?
  • Is your focus more or less on career growth now as before?

These qualitative questions and of course the bottom line can help determine the ROI of feng shui in your office.

7) What are some basic feng shui principles?

Some basic feng shui tenets you might have heard include “don’t have your back to the door” and bring in red eggs and red fish for good luck. You should fundamentally follow the bagua map in geographic location / siting, exterior facing, interior allocation, and desk arrangement for various furniture, equipment, picture frames etc to match functionality with the reading. Decluttering your office is also a key element. Many other feng shui rules allow for freedom of space, strengthening hospitality, confidence and communication. Natural elements such as flowing organic lines, energetic paintings, windows, plants, and water are good for energizing and maintaining the flow of positive chi energy. Desk materials (wood, metal, glass) and interior colors also have their significance in feng shui.

8) What is a bagua map?

A bagua map is a grid and compass correlating 8 directions with 8 basic readings of chi in balance.

9) What kinds of companies out there do feng shui interior design arrangements for office furniture?

You may find that several companies out there do feng shui including interior designers, home decorators, architects, and more. However, not all companies that claim to do it can back it up, so do your homework. Also, while feng shui is a holistic teaching, employing many aspects of your surroundings (siting, physical building and appearance, interior arrangement and appearance, interior function, etc.) it is best to opt for a company with breadth of service. With the new and used office furniture reseller CubeKing for example, you have a one stop shop for office furniture purchasing, liquidation, removal and storage, as well as office space planning.


Recommendations for
orchestrating and building your office and office furniture systems with the design element of shape in mind to provide the utmost in enriched interior character and brand identity...

Angular & Pointy

Sharp and jaunting angled office furniture can provide the persons inhabiting the office with feeling of , aggression, foresighted integration, and penetrating ideas. Concave shapes can be found in this environment too, where the edges point out. This is especially popular on tables and reception desks. Technologically advanced, innovative, entertainment, and acquisition-based companies should give office furniture of this type of shape a closer look – but don’t poke out your eye!

Rounded, Oval & Organic

Rounded and organic office furniture is perhaps the opposite of the aforementioned sharp and pointy. Instead of aggressive it is passive, flowing and receptive. It can almost be compared to the feminine aspect as opposed to the angular masculine. However, concave shapes (usually with rounded edges) can still be successfully thrown in with convex curves here. Organic companies value creative spontaneity, customer service, finesse, and perhaps even the environment. Liberal usage of free-flowing ovals and wavy lines can be contribute to very high energy levels in the office communicated through the office furniture. For a softer feel, employ more curve. Organic-shaped office furniture, including high-end work surfaces, chair backs, signage and carpeting patterns are an ever-growing trend in interior design for offices today.

Circular & Cylindrical

Perfect circles, concentric lines and cylinders are a more neutralized version of the organic, but can still add a lot of pep (think Target advertising campaign) to a company’s brand perception upon some outsider’s entry into the office. Round tables provide a sense of fellowship, roundish chairs provide ergonomics, and circular reception areas can run the gamut from austere to sporty. As such, companies that stand on full-service, flexibility and fun may find circular furniture ideal for their office furniture needs to reflect their brand.

Rectangular & Square

Traditional office furniture conceptions involve a lot of rectangular and square treatments of office furniture. Cubicles and call centers today don’t have to be completely square either. Squares and rectangles breathe stability, neutrality, calm, and objectivity. Aesthetically, these shapes also may reflect minimalism, the ultra-logical, or even a bit of intimidation to boot. This can be good for companies where financial stability, credibility and authority are of high priority and are qualities that are key benefits included in the company’s positioning statement and brand.

Feng Shui Cures





Colour: The different shades of colour can uplift or depress you. Colour has different vibrations and each colour of the rainbow has a purpose and a time to be used.

1. Red: a strong colour that is great to keep you going. A good colour for a dining room to keep guests energized and excited. Not a good colour for the bedroom unless you desire lots of passion.

2. Orange: a happy colourthat is refreshing and revitalizing. Good for kitchens and playrooms. Softer shades for family rooms where you want a place for fun and relaxing.

3. Yellow: a happy colour that brings creativity and vitality. Great for kitchens and offices where creativity is needed. Also good for guest rooms if you do not want the guests to overstay their welcome.

4. Green: a healing and calming colour. Great for living rooms and bedrooms. It renews us and keeps us in balance.

5. Blue: a healing and mentally relaxing colour. Good to bring blue into a room when someone is ill. Also good to keep the occupants calm and relaxed.

6. Indigo: a relaxing colour. Good for kids and to keep health in the home.

7. Purple: a colour of richness and transformation. Great for spiritual rooms and to splash around the home for wealth and abundance.

* Light: Lighting is best brought into the home by natural sunlight. Placement of good quality lighting can uplift or calm an area. Bright lights keeps the room full of movement and activity. To quiet an area invite YIN energy into the home. Yin energy is a softer and lower lighting, that induces calmness and low activity. A great way to play with your lighting is to introduce dimmers on your light switches. This allows you to change the feel of the room with a switch.

* Touch:We touch things everyday but do not truly feel what we are touching. Feel the warmth of your couch or the coolness of your tables. Feel the sensations from your pillows, clothes, food...and observe what you are experiencing. The warmth of a mug relaxes you while the coldness of a drink makes you want to move and get going with your day.

* Smell: Aromas are very powerful and are easy to bring into the home. The smell of lemons makes the home feel light and airy.One small smell from one section of the home changes the energy composition through the entire house. We become used to our house smells. You can change the smell of your home and the energy level with essential oils, good quality scented candles and fresh air. After a debate, light a lavender candle to bring harmony into the home.

* Taste: Our taste buds are very powerful. Each life area is associated with one of the taste buds. Drink lemon juice and water to bring abundance into your home.

* Life Areas and Your Tastebuds *

1. Knowledge: Sweet/Bland
2. Career: Salty
3. Helpful People: Hot/Spicy
4. Family: Sour
5. Children/Creativity: Hot/Spicy
6. Wealth/Abundance: Sour
7. Fame/Reputation: Bitter
8. Personal Relationships: Sweet/Bland

* Living Things: Pets, plants, and flowers uplift the energy in the home. If your green thumb or pet skills are low, put a bunch of flowers on your grocery list to bring in fresh vibrant energy. Use the colour chart above to decide what type of flowers to bring into the home.

* Pictures/Objects: Homes are filled with artwork. What does your artwork say about you? If you want a relationship, look around at all your art and decorative objects and figure out what they are saying? Place art around the home that is in tune to what you want today. Much of our stuff was for yesterday, we need to change our stuff to get new results. If you do not want to get rid of your artwork, take it down for 2-4 weeks and place it in storage. Notice the changes that occur. Place the artwork back. Does your life become stuck again? Remember the old saying; "We are what we see."

* Movement: Energy is constantly swirling around us. Many times we forget about the importance of air and its quality on us.While a home that has a sweet breeze from the outside is refreshing and uplifting. Transform your air by opening a window even on those cold days, if only for a minute.

*Numbers For the 8 Life Areas*

* South: Fame/ Reputation: 9
* Southwest: Personal Relationships: 2
* West: Children/ Creativity: 7
* East: Family/ Ancestors: 3
* Northwest: Helpful People/Travel: 6
* North: Career: 1
* Northeast: Knowledge/Skills: 8
* Southeast: Wealth/ Abundance: 4
* Center: Health: 9

Example:

The southwest quadrants number is 2. Place objects/articles in pairs to activate the personal relationship corner. Two is the number that represents loving relationships that are faithful and trusting.

If you place objects of 3 or more you may find your mate strays. Those looking for love, often have singular items or mismatched items in their bedrooms. One may incorporate the numbers by the numbers of objects displayed. There are many creative ways to bring in the numbers.

You may have a chime with 6 chimes or place 4 plants in a container or hang a crystal in the window that is 8 inches or centimeters long. Another great trick is to have a picture that has a certain number of objects in the painting.

Brain in Stomach-The SECOND BRAIN


Scientists are claiming to have discovered a second brain - in the human stomach.

Ever had a physical sensation that something wasn’t quite right? Or perhaps an odd feeling that a situation was somehow dangerous?

Or have you had “butterflies” in your stomach just before an important meeting or situation?

That was your second brain in action...

“My second brain?” you ask.

Yes. Unknown to most people, we actually have two physical brains. You’re intimately familiar with the brain encased in your skull. But did you know you also have a second brain in your gut?

Actually, over one half of your nerve cells are located in your gut.

And you may be even more surprised to learn that your second “gut brain” contains neurons and neurotransmitters just like those found in your skull.

Plus here’s something that may come as even more of a shock! Just like your primary brain, your “gut brain” is also able to learn, remember, and produce emotion-based feelings.

The expression “gut-level feeling” isn’t just a “saying.” We really do have feelings in our gut.

Our two brains communicate back and forth via a major nerve trunk extending down from the base of your brain all the way down into your abdomen. Because of this, your two brains directly influence each other.

When one brain becomes upset, the other joins right in.

That’s why your stomach might get “fluttery” because of anxiety before an important meeting. Or why a late night spicy snack that’s hard on your stomach might also give you some nasty nightmares.

** The Mystery of the Second Brain
How do we happen to have two brains?

During early fetal development both your “gut” (esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon) and your primary brain started to develop from the same clump of embryonic tissue.

When that piece of tissue divided, one piece grew into your central nervous system (your brain and cranial nerves). The other section became your enteric nervous system (your “gut brain.”)

During later stages of fetal development, these two brains then became connected via a massive nerve -- the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve is the longest of all our cranial nerves, and creates a direct connection between your brain and your gut.

Because of this direct brain-gut connection, the state of your gut has a profound influence on your psychological well being.

*How it Works
Your “gut brain” -- known to scientists as the enteric nervous system (ENS) -- is embedded in the sheaths of tissue lining your esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon.

And, nearly every brain-regulating chemical found in your brain has also been found in your gut brain -- including both hormones and neurotransmitters.

In “The Second Brain,” Dr. Michael Gershon, a professor at New York City’s Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, refers to the entire gastrointestinal system as “the body's second nervous system.”

"The brain is not the only place in the body that's full of neurotransmitters,” Dr. Gershon explains. "One hundred million neurotransmitters line the length of the gut -- approximately the same number found in the brain."

Actually, the total of nerve cells in your gut is greater than the total nerves connecting the rest your body to your brain. This complex circuitry allows your “gut brain” to act totally independent of the brain in your skull.

*Your “Sleep-Gut Brain” Connection
As research on the circuitry between our two brains progresses, neuro-scientists are understanding more and more about how we act and feel.

For example: Our brain and gut are so interconnected that both have natural 90-minute “sleep cycles.” In the brain, slow-wave sleep is interrupted by periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep during which dreams occur.

The gut has corresponding 90-minute cycles of slow-wave muscle contractions. But as with the brain’s REM sleep intervals, these cycles are interrupted by corresponding short bursts of rapid muscle movement.

*Your “Stress-Gut Brain” Connection
Little needs be said about the connection between stress and our gut. In many ways, this may be the most visible brain-gut problem of our times.

Anyone who has ever become emotionally upset knows the immediate effect on their gut. Your stomach “ties itself in knots,” rumbles and growls, and stops digesting.

The results include chronic indigestion, ulcers, and a whole host of unpleasant conditions. If your stress is chronic, or intense enough, your colon may even go into spasms.

*Your “Pain-Gut Brain” Connection
But our “gut brains” also help us in some amazing ways. They are a primary source of pain relief. The “gut brain” naturally produces chemicals (benzodiazepine) found in many pain relievers, and anti-anxiety drugs like Valium.

And like your primary brain, your “gut brain” also has opiate receptors.

“Drugs like morphine and heroin also attach to the gut's opiate receptors,” pain management specialist Dr Michael Loes tells us. “And both brains can become addicted to opiates."

*Mastering Your “Gut Brain”
Many mystical and natural healing practices consider the belly a major center of energy and higher consciousness.

In China, the gentle arts of Tai Chi and Qigong emphasize the lower abdomen as a major reservoir for life energy and health. The belly is considered the “dantian,” a key center for higher consciousness development.

This 'second brain' is made up of a knot of brain nerves in the digestive tract. It is thought to involve around 100 billion nerve cells - more than held in the spinal cord.

Researchers believe this belly brain may save information on physical reactions to mental processes and give out signals to influence later decisions. It may also be responsible in the creation of reactions such as joy or sadness.

The research is outlined in the latest issue of German science magazine, Geo, in which Professor Wolfgang Prinz, of the Max Planck Institute for Psychological Research in Munich, says the discovery could give a new twist on the old phrase "gut reaction".

He said: "People often follow their gut reactions without even knowing why, its only later that they come up with the logical reason for acting the way they did. But we now believe that there is a lot more to gut feelings than was previously believed."

Professor Prinz thinks the stomach network may be the source for unconscious decisions which the main brain later claims as conscious decisions of its own.

The second brain was rediscovered by Michael Gershorn, of the University of Colombia in New York, after it was forgotten by science. He says it was first documented by a 19th century German neurologist, Leopold Auerbach.

He discovered two layers of nerve cells near a piece of intestine he was dissecting. After putting them under the microscope he found they were part of a complex network.

Recent research has already raised the idea that many reactions may be made in the stomach. Benjamin Libet, of the University of California found the brains of volunteers asked to raise their arms only registered activity about half a second after the movement had been made. He believes his work implies another part of the body may have been involved in making the decision.

It’s important to have your “gut brain” operating at its best. Start by paying attention to what’s going on in your digestive system.

Remember, your gut is about a whole lot more than just digesting your food -- it also reacts to and digests your inward and outward “realities.”

"Thinking" from "head" brain & "Emotions" from "stomach/gut" brain...hav Guts!!!

Yoga is an excercise to stomachbrain & Meditation to head brain , So yoga helps control Emotions & meditation helps Thought process...

Ultimate Guide to Coolness..... ( YO ! )


BASICS

  1. Act like you do not care what others think of you. We will always, on some level, be concerned with others' opinions of ourselves, but realize that ultimately, you will never be able to please everyone, so why bother trying? People have thousands of ways to get at you. Learn to spot them and become immune. Be happy and have fun.
  2. Present yourself in a positive way. Walk with good posture and look people in the eye (but keep an eye out for stuff like banana peels, bowel discharge etc). If you slump or stare at your feet (or banana peels, bowel discharge etc), people won't respect you. You have to look and feel confident in order to receive the respect you need.
  3. Find real friends (and by that we don’t mean orkut ‘phriends’). For example, if people don't hang out with you because you don't wear branded clothes, they are not real friends. Instead, find friends that see you for who you are (and not your online profile). If the people standing in front of you can't see you for you, then how can they be your friend? (or they might actually turn out to be blind!)
  4. Don't be afraid to be different, whether that means standing up for your self, defending someone else, or taking interest in something that no one else does (and by that we don’t mean taking interest in banana peels, bowel discharge etc.), like playing an instrument or dancing when no one else will (though look out if the reason is banana peels or bowel discharge etc). The coolest people are the ones who occasionally break against the tide and make people question the rules.
  5. Speak up. Observe people who are "cool"--they usually speak confidently and clearly, at a good pace. They don't chatter rapidly, pause, or mumble. They say what they mean, and mean what they say (what the?). Be confident in your word and don't let anyone try and change it. If you state your opinion and people disagree, don't worry. Don't shout out your opinion just to be heard. Make sure it's relevant, and be ready to back it up. Don’t be adamant though (or act stupid).
  6. Learn how to laugh at yourself. Being cool doesn't mean being perfect, and being able to find humor in your moments of clumsiness (like stepping on banana peels or bowel discharge etc) and discomfort is the defining hallmark of being cool. People will not only respect you for it, but they'll like you for being human, just like them.
  7. Be friendly, but not excessively eager (or desperate). Everyone loves someone who is outgoing (and straight), but nobody likes someone who is overly excited (or maybe gay….maybe). Many people find someone who is overeager to be annoying. Try not to force yourself on people (literally). Smile and strike up a conversation (but not about topics such as banana peels or bowel discharge etc), but make sure you know the line between friendly and obsessive.
  8. Use appropriate language. Many people think it makes them cool when they abuse, but all it's really doing is showing that you're trying to be cool.
  9. Be a good conversationalist. Everyone loves someone who knows what to say at the right moment. Most of the time, it is much better to be sort of quiet and analyze the conversation, enjoying the humor of your friends. Then wait for the right moment to make a comment, usually to great result. However, if you come up into the middle of a quiet group of people, it is better to take a Tony Stark (IronMan fame) approach. Be playful! Joke around with them. Making fun of people is fine, but make sure that you know the limits on it and that the people you're around are the kind of people who know you're kidding.
  10. Dress how you want. As long as your personality shines through, you can wear whatever you like. You should know what you are comfortable in (and by that we mean not coming to college in your boxers). Being cool despite wearing something people generally make fun of is the true sign of coolness.

A BIT MORE….

  • It is way uncool to trip or fall in front of people (specially on banana peels or bowel discharge etc) only to get up and lose your composure and act defeated. In this instance, you'll be the laughing stock of your witnesses. These things can happen to anyone, so if you DO trip and fall, when you get up, confidently brush yourself off , give the thumbs up, add a grin, and go on your way (but if you happen to fall on banana peels or bowel discharge etc cover your face and run away!). Keeping your composure is key. Laughing at yourself can be a good way to make it seem less awkward and makes you seem relaxed.
  • Be humble. Vanity isn't cool.
  • If being picked on is your worry, know and understand that showing yourself affected by it is precisely what separates the coolest from the others, and take this as a chance to actually be perceived as cool. Know that who you are in your core is not determined by others, especially if they don´t truly know you. Be happy with yourself as you are, since there is nothing really wrong with you.
  • Learn to read people and be patient when sharing an opinion ( not about banana peels or bowel discharge etc….c’mon you knew this was coming!). Understand that whatever you say to someone or give advice, that is just your opinion. They either accept it or reject it, there's no need to force them to understand. Just make sure you know what you're talking about.
  • Change your attitude--have a positive attitude . Cool people always have a positive attitude. Everyone likes a positive person. When people get to know you and see that you always have a positive look on things (like banana pee…….ok, we think we’ve had enough of that!) even when things are not going your way, they will enjoy your company.
  • Lastly and most importantly, BE YOURSELF. If you don't, it will follow you into the future and you'll have friends who only like the person you pretend to be, instead of you.

AND FINALLY…

  • Don't base your coolness on making others seem uncool. You'll make more enemies than friends that way. People aren't going to worship someone who bosses or beats them around all the time. They'll be scared maybe, but they won't respect you.
  • Don't lose sight of yourself or your morals. Being cool isn't about changing who you are, it’s about being confident enough to let people see how awesome you really are.
  • If you are accepting of others and include people, others will be attracted to your level of confidence of socializing and thus consider you cool to hang around with.
  • There is no textbook definition of cool. Some people may think it's cool to drink or smoke etc. (and banana peels and bowel discharge etc…..haha….we couldn’t resist!) whereas in reality its not. It will only turn other people off .
  • Never use your coolness to put people down!
  • Always stick up for those below you!
  • Lastly, Don’t try. Just be.,.,. Yeah ! Work up your Autosuggestions ..merci..

10 Tips to Improve Your Speaking Voice :-

One of the most important components of public speaking is the sound of your voice. It influences the impact of your message, and might even make or break the success of your speech. Fortunately, for many people, good voice quality can be learned.

Instructions :

Breathe from your diaphragm - Practice long and controlled exhales. When you speak, use breath to punctuate your point. For example, take a breath at the end of each phrase whether you need to or not. Use that opportunity to pause and let the listeners absorb what you say.

  • Use pitch - Lower pitches generally are more soothing to hear. However, modulating your pitch for emphasis will keep your listeners engaged. Develop your pitch by practicing humming.
  • Moderate your volume - Find out if you speak too loudly or too softly. When you begin speaking, ask your audience how your volume is (each situation is different). Try to stay at the appropriate volume throughout your speech.
  • Moderate your pace - This one is also closely related to breath. If you speak too quickly, people can’t keep up. If you speak too slowly, people will lose interest. Record your speech to determine if you need to change your pace. Get feedback from others.
  • Articulate - Try exaggerating your lip movement to reduce mumbling. Practice articulating tongue twisters and extending and exaggerating vowel sounds. Become an expert at articulating tongue twisters as quickly and crisply as possible. Focus on the ones you find difficult.
  • Practice your speech in advance and determine where you want to pause for a breath. For more emphasis, pause for more than one breath. Mark your breathing points in your notes.
  • Loosen up before you begin. Look side to side. Roll your head in half-circles and roll your shoulders back. Shift your rib cage from side to side. Yawn. Stretch. Touch your toes while completely relaxing your upper body, then slowly stand up, one vertebra at a time, raising your head last. Repeat as needed.
  • Posture - Stand up straight and tall to allow full lung capacity and airflow.
  • Record your voice repeatedly using different ways of speaking. Determine which one is most pleasing.
  • Practice breath control - Take a deep breath, and while you exhale, count to 10 (or recite the months or days of the week). Try gradually increasing your volume as you count, using your abdominal muscles—not your throat—for volume. Don’t let your larynx tense up.

Why Recessions can be good for you?

Learn to Turn a Recession into one of the best things that ever happened ....

1) It's time to decide if you really want to be in this business.

Don't spend a lot of time on it, just ask yourself the question. When things get tough, it's always a good question to ask.
a. If the answer is, "I love what I do, even now," good. Now you can be more committed than ever to being successful at what you do. It's important to routinely re-commit to the things we're doing. You don't want to get to the end of your career and regret that you didn't pursue your real dream.

b. If the answer is, "I'm really not enjoying this anymore - my heart's not in it," then it's time to make some big changes.

c. If the answer is, "I still love what I do - but I need to make more money," keep reading. That's what this article is about.

2) It's time to gain a deeper understanding of the concerns your customers have when they are making the buying decision.

When people are less free with their spending, the concerns they have during the buying process loom even larger in their minds. These "barriers to the sale" can more easily stop a sale.

The good news is, buyers who are in hesitation mode are more open to describing their concerns to you, if you ask them the right way. The Appendix in the book rivers of revenue goes into great detail about how to interview potential customers and current customers. It shows you how to find the right people to interview, which questions will give you the best response, how to conduct the interviews, and what to do with the information once you've gathered it. You can use these calls to understand what their concerns are, what else they've done to solve their problem, what they want from someone like you, and what they would consider a fair price for your type of service.

During the call, you must resist the temptation to sell to them - even if they invite you to. Save that for another call. This call should be strictly an interview call, where they talk and you just listen. You only say enough to get them to talk.

3) It's time to look at the processes you are using to find new business, complete each sale, and all of the "paperwork" associated with each sale.

When times are good, a little inefficiency here and there doesn't hurt you much. But when things are slow, you must increase your selling efficiency. Because selling is usually run by sales types, the process of selling is usually shortchanged. Sales types hate thinking about processes; they find analysis is boring. They'd rather sit through a Wagnerian opera than dissect and improve the processes associated with selling.

What you need to do is thoroughly examine the typical sale, from start to finish. Where do the leads come from? What happens to them when they come in? How are they given to the salespeople? How quickly do the salespeople follow up? (Note: If you're not responding to a prospect's email within a half hour, you've already lost the sale to a faster-moving competitor.) How do they follow up? What happens then? What questions are asked by the customer during the sales process? Who's involved at the customer end? What clinches the sale? What happens afterwards? Is the customer thanked for his/her business? Is the customer asked for a testimonial? Do you make it easy for the customer to refer others?

No matter what the economy is doing, knowing the answers to these questions - and making the changes needed to get things working more smoothly - will result in higher revenue.

4) It's time to look at what your competitors are doing and implement some of their better ideas.

We can all learn from our competition. If you routinely visit competitive websites, you will find things that make it easier for the customer to understand what is being sold and easier for the customer to buy. If they are doing something better than you are in these areas, improve what you are doing. This will help you now, when times are slow, and even more, when business picks up again.

Whatever you do, don't slow down with the rest of the economy.

It's such a temptation to become a victim when the press is screaming "RECESSION" wherever you turn. But, this is not the time to take a snooze, just because you assume everyone else is asleep.

This is the time to tiptoe out of the Recession Zone and start focusing on making it easier for your customers to buy. This is the time to re-commit to your life's work, to learn everything you can. This is the time to give your revenue machine an overhaul. You'll sell more - now, during the slow time, and later, when people start spending more freely again.
