The Qi Breath in Qijong

In April's post, I stated that Qi means Energy. It also means Breath. I remember the qigong instructor telling us in the first class. "Even if you don't remember anything else but how to breathe in the qi, then you have already accomplished 90% of qigong. Yes breathing is the foundation of qigong. How you are able to fill your body with the right amount of the healing qi on a daily basis will energize your whole being. So true Energy work is equal to Breath work.

A recent scientific study showed that the majority of people are only taking 36% of the required oxygen needed for body functions like repair, growth and maintaining of the organs and cells. The required amount is 60%. Is that not an alarming statistics. Before you panic and wonder how much it would cost to rectify the situation or what expensive gadgets to get, stop and listen.  Learn how to breathe the qigong way which you can do in the comfort of your home. If you need a few pointers or support, then please contact me or Skype me. Be assured, it will not be costly now and will save you time, money and worries in the future. On the other hand if you continue with the breathing you're doing now, you are most probably already seeing the effects of breathing poorly and included side-effects of poor breathing patterns are lack of energy, allergies, chronic fatigue, overwhelm, respiratory, cardio, skeletal and muscular problems headaches, insomnia.......Are you getting the picture???

At present, many clients make an appointment with me when they have a physical or psychological problem and when I show them the qigong breath, their problems are reduced. What I like to see are clients who want to prevent certain medical problems that they have seen in their parents or grandparents. Please send me a comment or request.

Healing Power of Qigong

Qigong pronounced Chee Gung, is not familiar to the western public and even to some people in the East. Yet, people have heard of acupuncture, tai chi and kung fu which all have their root in qigong.
Qi means energy and gong means work. Qigong practice began in China during the reign of the Yellow Emperor and the medical qigong was reserved only for the royalty.

There are many types of Qigong usually named after the Qigong Master who developed the qigong moves. Not all Qigong are Medical Qigong. It is adviced not to practice more than two types of qigong as it could be counterproductive to do so.

I found out about Qigong, when I was doing research on alternative medicine, after my cancer surgery and orders from the oncologist to go for chemotherapy. Before going to the qigong classes, I had explored other forms of alternative therapies that just did not seem to balance my screwed up energies or remove my pain. Oh did I tell you that the oncologist threatened that if I did not go for chemotherapy, the cancer would be back within two years and chemo would not even be an option then.

After 2 months of attending the classes and doing the qigong techniques several times a day, I noticed a return of my energies and  decrease in my pain level, so much so that I returned to work, sooner than expected. Part of the qigong therapy included meditation for half an hour daily. This was not a problem for me as I had already learned and practice meditation for a few years previously. This meditation was slightly different.

It's been nine years now and I still do my qigong techniques several times a week and  incorporated some of the techniques in coaching my clients. Yes this powerful technique is one that has kept me free of cancer and also of chronic pain that I had even before the diagnosis of cancer.

Revitalizing Energy Techniques Introduction

Energy Medicine is the future of Medicine (Dr. Mehmet Oz)

In my March post, I mentioned writing posts explaining RET or Revitalizing Energy Techniques which has roots in Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology, Qigong and two other modalities. The other posts would describe how I was lead to these modalities and how I put my creative touch to them, to help myself and my clients.

The energy that is common with Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology and Qigong is none other than Bio-Scalar Energy. This energy can't be seen like the fireworks above but the effect is more spectacular than any fireworks. I've experienced this energy and so have many others including my clients, who are usually dumbfounded.

My purpose for these posts is to explain something is not always seen by the human eye and as yet can't be measured by human tools. However, its existence was mentioned by Einstein, Tesla and other scientists.

Reading about it might not convince you  which is why I've offered many times on this site a trial to experience it for yourself. I've even offered workshops and seminars, including ones online. So tune in for the next post in mid- April and let me know through your comments if you would like to particpate in a Energy Boosting Seminar.

How to treat Pain and Fear

As the video on this page indicate, Empower-You Enterprise is all about treating anxiety and fear. Actually fear is the layer which anxiety is build on. Anxiety is usually  the root of all flourishing dis-eases, be it physical or psychological?. Yes viruses, bacterias and genetics do contribute to diseases, yet some exposed to these variables are not affected by the diseases. Why? Of the many reasons, two does stand out in history and in my present work with clients; Fear and.Anxiety.


Both Fear and Anxiety expect the worst outcome and are not based on present reality. Instead fear and anxiety are based on previous memory which does not exist in the present reality. Fear and anxiety affect the physical systems of the body. Fear and Anxiety stimulates the hormones which is commonly called the Fight and Flight hormones. The major organs like the lungs,heart, stomach and brain is on alert mode.Oxygen circulation is reduced to many parts of the body. The para-sympathetic system which calms the body is literally shut down. The body's sympathetic system is on high alert and sees everything external and even internal as an urgent threat. If this situation continues, the body becomes worn down and the immune system breaks down and civil war occurs within the body. Could you think of different times when you have been affected?


Many people, myself included look outside of ourselves for causes of our diseases and science comes readily to our help by giving us names of bacteria, parasites and viruses. More recently it has been the recessive gene or absence of a particular DNA or a specific chromosome. All this leaves us feeling that the answer to cures are the responsibility of scientists, physicians, surgeons and chemists.
As we have seen in the past few decades, even with the intervention of these experts, people are dying from heart disease and cancer prematurely. People have become disillusioned with the conventional medical system. People who have transferred to the alternative, holistic health system, seem to have a more empowering attitude to their health.  In the next few articles, we'll look at the evolution of alternative or holistic or natural medicine and why it attracts more and more people each year. Why am I such an ardent promoter of natural, energy medicine and energy psychology?

Empowering - Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is in mid-February, yet from the window dressings of the stores and the advertisements in the media, it might as well be Valentine's month. All the hype began on the first of February. So what is the celebration about and why am I using the word empowering?
Yes, with all the advertisement, you would think the celebration was about romantic or intimate love which in the Greek language is Eros. There is also, Philio, Storgo and Agape.  In the English language, there is only one word for all the 4 types and it is Love.

However Valentine lived during the Roman Empire and he did die for love but a love that was Agape, which is an altruistic love which he had for his fellowmen and for his God. He was killed for that love. Ironic if people are celebrating it for their own gain or satisfaction instead of truly giving of themselves to the ones they claim to love.

There are two other types of love that can be celebrated on Valentine's Day,  One is Philio which is brotherly or sisterly love or love among friends and the other is Storge which is love among family members.

Love is Universal. Love is also Healing. Love is Forgiving. Love is Consoling, Love Strengthens, Love Inspires. Love Creates! Love does all this if it is unselfish. It is agape love that can remove anxiety and depression.

All  these loves (Agape, Storge, Philio and Eros) could be empowering if you remember to appreciate and respect the person you're celebrating with or the person you're buying the gift for. It should come from your heart  which means you should find out what the person likes before buying the gift. Yes put some thought into Valentine's and I've made it easier for you if you take a look at the upper right side of the screen.

It's your choice what you make of Valentine's Day and the type of love that will dominate that day.  I'm giving a rose from the vase above for each of you who visit this site and that is from the love called Agape. Happy Valentine's!

Anxiety Release Offer

The post I published previously on Anxiety Release for 2012 generated some phone calls from people who have some anxiety in their lives. So I decided to offer 15 minutes free to release anxiety of my readers for a limited time.

I've had excellent results working with clients to release their anxiety. The anxieties of my clients have been on various issues. Here are some of the many anxiety provoking issues that have been released.
1.Anxious about examinations or test anxiety
3. Anxious about moving away
4. Separation anxiety
5. Anxious about being in a crowd
6. Job related anxieties
7. Anxiety due to fear of needles, spiders, snakes.
8. Anxiety due to pending medical treatment, surgery
9. Relationship anxiety
10.Anxiety related to past traumas

Usually an assessment is done on a SUD where the anxiety is rated from a Level of 1 which is very mild to a 10 which is very high. As I work on the person, we continue to assess till the Level returns to one or zero.

With a fifteen minute session it is a short-term solution. In order for the anxiety to remain completely released, it usually involves several sessions with an average of seven sessions as we will have to work on other aspects of the issue or issues that began the anxiety response.

So we hope that many of you will take advantage of this free 15 minutes and see how this valuable tool works and how you could learn and use it yourself in further sessions.
You could send me an e-mail to request a free anxiety release consultation! At present I will only accept e-mail requests.

Anxiety Release for 2012

 
Well this is 2012 and we're still here. Are you grateful for that? Or are you anxious about all the predictions of 2012?  Nothing has changed according to the media, except that the reports of all the gloom and doom in the economic and social landscapes of the world is worsening. Yet if anyone of you have found something changed within you that have made you see things differently, perhaps an expectation, or a hope that things might be changing for the better, then anxiety has not taken root. Congrats.

 The fact is that in the latest statistics, anxiety disorders are on the rise. 1 in 4 people have anxiety disorder. Phobias, addictions, pain, certain medications and previous traumas also contribute to anxiety disorder. So many people would deny that they are anxious and yet resort to addictions for relief. And I don't mean drugs and alcohol and smoking. How many of you feel that you need sweets to relax you? How many find comfort  foods (extremely high sodium or sugar and  high caloric foods) for relaxation? How many go on shopping sprees to calm themselves or gamble? How many use sex for anxiety relief?

Don't you think any of the above have side-effects? All the above addictions have temporary relief but lasting side-effects. I know as I've worked with many as an anxiety transformation coach. Many who come to me, have  used conventional treatments with short-term success without getting control of their anxiety on a permanent basis.

What if I told you there was a better way? A way that has proven to be a long lasting  treatment for anxiety? It has worked on many people and it will probably work for you. It is simple yet powerful. It will take some effort on your part to continue the  treatment for a few sessions and do the homework given. The emphasis is finishing the course of the treatment, even though after a couple of sessions, you might not feel anxious anymore, that is only the surface as further treatments will discover the root causes and once that is removed, the anxiety will be gone for good which means, disturbing news in the media or from external sources will not raise your anxiety levels. That does not mean you will be numb to the "bad" news. It means that your anxiety thermometer will not fluctuate and you are able to be calm within.

Yes 2012 might be the year for you to be finally liberated from anxiety or the anxiety disorder.with this natural treatment. Wishing all my long time readers as well as my new readers a Year filled with Calm and Joyful Expectations.

Five Gifts that do not cost a Cent

  

Are you tired of hearing about giving this Christmas Season. You might be living from pay cheque to pay cheque, or you might just have been laid off  from your job, or you might be unemployed or a student living on student loans??  Does giving have to be material things?  No they don't have to be! . Are you interested in finding out about gifts that do not cost a single cent???

1. Love - Show a little love to your loved ones. How? I'm  glad you asked. You could spend some time with them, talking or listening. Perhaps do some chores that they request.

2. Kindness - Doing random acts of kindness to  or for others.  Go to a nursing home and ask if there was someone who needs a visitor. Or do you know of any shut-ins? You could read to them, listen to their stories, joke with them or just sit with them for an hour or so.

3. Smiles - this can be done to friends and strangers alike. If you take the bus, you could smile at the driver and the other passengers. How often to you smile at the grocer store cashier or the attendant at the corner store or the post-person? Everyone is affected by a smile, regardless of the return smile.

4.Laughter - Laugh at yourself and laugh with others. Did you know that belly laughter is a good cardio exercise. Go to the library and borrow some good joke books and humorous movies.

5.Thankfulness - Be thankful for what you have now, no matter how little it may seem. Thankfulness is the harbinger of prosperity.

To all my readers, I wish you a Season of Laughter and Joy and this includes my Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist readers.

Energy of Change

How many of you reading this like changes in their lives or environments? How many of you dislike those changes. For the latter, do you know how much energy you expend to prevent change from happening or resent the changes?  Changes sometimes makes you put on hold other things that you usually do and for me it meant writing fewer posts on this blog.

I have just recently made some changes to my work environment. I've moved my business to a new office. It is a very welcomed change. The room is more spacious and quieter and it is within walking distance to where I live. I also have an extra day to receive clients which is the second change. The extra day means I could have a small group session to work on issues that affect the group participants while they also get an opportunity to practise the techniques that I've taught them in a supportive, positive environment. Initially, we will meet every fortnight on a Wednesday Evening.

The other significant change, dear readers will affect you. I'll be writing an e-zine that will require a subscription which for the present is free and my innovative, original, informative articles will  be written once a month on this e-zine called  ?  If any one has an idea for another title for this e-zine, please let me know. There are already 2 articles there on Anxiety.

So I've used the changes to energize my life by not fighting or resisting the changes. I chose to look at all the positive that would come from these changes and voila, I do feel energized.

This blog will be focusing on the workshops, circle groups, teleclasses and snippets of my articles in the e-zine. Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated as are your patience.

To your health and energy.

Toxins and the DNA

I attended a teleclass recently on Toxins by Joanne Callaghan, wife of Dr. Roger Callaghan, founder of TFT, ie Thought Field Therapy out of which EFT is based on.and he is a clinical psychologist. It was a class that showed some ways to remove toxins in our body as well as other ways of neutralizing the external toxins which is in our environment. This actually ties in with our previous article on the recent research discovery of some of the function of the ninety percent of our DNA.

Through vibrations and carefully worded thoughts, we could release toxins in our body, especially at the DNA level. How, you ask? Well, I will be giving a workshop - Removing Toxins 101 on the 8th of October and a repeat on the 22nd October. There will only be room for 10 people per workshop as it is an interactive one.

Besides Energy Psychology, I have combined Energy Medicine, Qigong and two other modalities that works well in removing toxins with my clients. On a personal note, these modalities have helped me remove some toxins that have previously caused me a few chronic illnesses.

If you're interested and live near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, please e-mail to register.

Surprise, Surprise - What the DNA respond to?

As clients were coming to me, these last few weeks, there was a look of pleasant surprise, when their fear, pain or anxiety or anger were removed before their unbelieving eyes, while  I did the spinal flush or the neurolymphatic massage on them in about 20 minutes or more. When I tried to explain, there was still a look of doubt.

So, I told them about a recent research finding by a couple of Russian scientists on the DNA, not the 10% that western medicine is focused on but the 90% that was thought to be "junk".  Well after a few years of thorough research, some of the 90% of human DNA seem to respond to vibrations and words, either negatively or positively.  So how does what I do connect to this latest DNA discovery?

When I do the neurolymphatic massage, I focus on certain areas of the body and the massage I do cause a vibration. I also say certain words and have the clients tune in on certain emotions that they are feeling. Words and Vibrations somehow affect the 90% of the DNA and we have results in a very short time.  The same results with the tapping of Energy Psychology as in EFT and TFT is again due to the DNA or genes response to vibration and words.

My challenge is to keep my client focus on the emotions that are causing them the discomfort or problem. DNA or genes do not have to be removed or cauterized for the healing effects to happen. I predict in the next few years, more and more research will reveal further the capabilities of the "junk" DNA.

If you are still skeptical, you will want to read more about this Russian research findings. Please go to the following link.

Not your normal massage, yet so relaxing

The title of this post was taken from the average response from the majority of the 30 clients who came to my massage table, lying on their stomachs while the spinal flush was done and then some lymphatic massage on the part of their bodies that was causing them discomfort.

They left  relaxed and with some knowledge of some techniques that would balance their energies. This was their homework till the next visit. For many who came with SUDs of  8,7, 6, or 5 which was a high pain level to moderate. SUDs or Standard Units of Distress which measures the level of discomfort or pain in an individual. They left the half hour treatment with a level of zero or one. They came overwhelmed with stresses, not quite knowing which was the major stressor, they left calm and knowing which stress to work on removing.

However, it was not just a physical result that they experienced. One young woman remarked, her fear and anxiety went from moderate 7 to a zero level and she thanked me for helping her regained her confidence. I will see many of these clients for another session, as they want to work on other issues, now that they see results from just half an hour

Among the many young people who were at the massage table, there were a couple who were insisting on deep tissue massage, even though it was well advertised that it was a neurolymphatic massage. These did not read or do their homework on what effect the neurolymphatic massage and spinal flush had on the body and we could not make them understand that the treatment and techniques offered looked at holistic body which is made up of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects,.Western Scientific research done in recent years, in the USA, Europe and recently Russia has shown how the cellular or DNA  level is receptive to many of the techniques used in Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology.

If you go to some of my recent posts as well as my older posts, you will see some of these works.
In the following posts, I will give you more testimonies of those who have benefited from this simple yet effective and skillful technique
PC Nicholas

Neurolymphatic Massage - Flushes the toxins away

Neuro-lymphatic Drainage (Flush) and Relaxation Massage
Are you having intense emotional or physical stress? Exposed to environmental toxins?

Benefits of this Technique


1.Makes you feel rejuvenated by clearing toxins
 and stagnant lymphatic fluid.
2. Clears your head and improves thinkiing by stimulating the cerebrospinal fluid. 
3.  Helps your body function better by quick re-balancing of your energies in your body.
4. Reduces built-up stress and overwhelm.
5.Takes edge of emotional over-reactions.
6. Relaxes body and mind.

It takes about 1/2 hour, includes assessment of problem areas.

What is the difference between Neurolymphatic massage and Spinal drainage massage or flush?


The benefits are very much the same but the latter also  works on the cerebrospinal fluid.  The difference is that for the latter, the massage is done along the spaces along the spine, while the former is done along the frontal portion of the lymphatic stations.

Briefly, it should be done by a practitioner who has been trained in EEM and a health discipline. Before the technique is done, the practitioner would check for problem energy areas, when doing the assessment. This technique is harmless. The lymphatic system is basically the body's garbage disposal system and plays a vital role in your immune system.

The cerebrospinal  fluid is a clear fluid with several important functions.  It acts as a shock absorber for the brain and spine. It delivers nutrients to the brain and spinal cord. It also removes waste from the brain and spinal cord.

The person should be lying on their stomach on a massage table with support for the head and one under the ankles. The alternate way of doing it is having the person standing about a couple of feet from the wall with hands firmly on the wall.
The massage is given about 1 inch apart on either side of the spine.The person should be breathing, slowly from the abdomen.

The toxins are usually removed through the bladder and through the skin.So increased liquid intake after the procedure is strongly suggested.

If you have any more questions, please send them in through the comments.

Epigenetics versus Genetic Modification

The question I posed at the end of the last post was answered by some members of Blog Catalog, a social online network. It appears that many of my readers are not familiar with Epigenetics and some are confusing Epigenetics with genetics or genetic modification. So this article is to clarify the difference between Epigenetics and Genetics. Let's see what one of the experts say, shall we?

"The difference between Genetics and Epigenetics is compared to the difference between writing and reading a book. Once a book is written, the text (DNA, genes) is stored and the information will be the same in all copies. However, each individual reader (epigenetics) of the given book may interpret the book differently." Thomas Jenvwein, Austria

 Genetic Modification uses biotechnology to change the genes of an organism such as a plant or animal.
Genetic Modified Organism is a plant or animal that has been changed using genetic modification and not through traditional breeding techniques.CSIRO

"The field of Epigenetics has emerged to bridge the  gap between Nature and Nurture."
                                                    Canadian Conf. on Epigenetics,2011 



So in conclusion for this article, let's re-cap the definition of Epigenetics - It is the study of the changes produced in the gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence of the silenced genes. (epigenome.eu)
 So what are the non-genetic factors that cause the organism's genes to behave (express) differently?
Stay tuned for the next post for the answers. 

PC Nicholas

Epigenetics Anyone?

Wikimedia -Split  DNA

                                                  
What's that?  Is that what I  hear many of you asking? Why is she not discussing more Eden Energy Medicine or Energy Psychology,EFT or something we're more familiar with? Well, if you give me a chance to explain... Thanks. Epigenetics is related in many ways to all my other topics on this site.

Ah so many questions and I'll try to answer them, perhaps not all in this post? Before we begin, let me tell you about my absence. It is quite exciting.

As you've noticed it has also been a month since my last post. There are several reasons for that! I have been working on a WordPress website and the launch will be in a couple of weeks or so and it will be more of a site for parents and teachers of children and youth although it will be open to anyone, interested in our future generation! So stay tuned!


Now to Epigenetics.which is a relatively new science, that you might not even find the meaning in your lexicon. My spellchecker does not even recognize it. The following definition is from the journal Science

" the studies of heritable changes in gene function that occur without the change in the DNA sequence."

Epigenetics study the signals that turn genes on and off and it also investigates sources that control gene expression from outside the DNA, like the environment. Sorry, did I get too scientific on you? Perhaps this next statement will make it easier to understand.
"The activation of genes is intimately connected with healing and immune system function."
                                                                                  Dawson Church PhD


Since EEM, EP and EFT work on healthy immune system and promoting resolution to physical, psychological and emotional issues, Epigenetic research will contribute to the explanation of those modalities to the still skeptical scientific community. I would like to continue with this theme and there have already been a few studies on Epigenetics and the research continues. Please send me your questions, so that I can tailor my posts to your requests on the subject. Thanks.

Empower-Student Program

We ended the last post with three Benefits of the Empower-Student Program. We will continue with the rest of the benefits and you could add your own to the list.

Benefits of the Empower-Student Program

4. The students' Self-Esteem increases and they have a healthy Self-Image.

5. They have more focus and attention in the classroom and academic confidence increases.

6. They will learn and use these techniques independently.

7. They are able to influence their peers, siblings and other friends in a positive manner.

8. They feel a sense of control over their lives.

9. They are calmer in the stresses that they encounter daily.

10. Their compassion, honesty, helping behaviors and social dialogue is enhanced.

The students will take all the tools learned in the Empower-Student Program with them through colleges, universities and the workforce. It's a Win-Win situation for students, parents and teachers.

PC Nicholas

Parents, What do you Fear for Your children???

 Today, we'll show the benefits of the Empower-Student Program. These are benefits not only to the students but also to the parents? Parents are sometimes overwhelmed with trying to provide a safe, happy and healthy environment for their children amidst all entrapment in the real and virtual world facing their children. Definitely, parenting is a challenge today!  So what are the fears facing parents?  Are there coping tools that will help their children? Tools that will give parents some peace of mind?

A recent Canadian survey showed that the following are the fears facing the parents of teens ?
1. Their children's lack of confidence to perform well in school.
2.  Their children will be bullied.
3.  Their children are depressed.
4. Their children's test anxiety.

Parents are looking for tools or solutions and the Empower-Student Program is just one such solution? It comprises of a number of tools, which has also helped teachers in their classrooms. This brief article will not go into the techniques (which uses Energy Psychology): instead it will give the proven benefits. There are many benefits and three of them will be listed for now

1. The students will have emotional control as they learn techniques to regulate their emotions in an appropriate manner.
2. Their self-respect and respect for others is increased.
3. They have a positive attitude, good energy, increased academic and sports performance.

All these benefits come without side-effects.These benefits and ones in the next post will accompany these students throughout college and later to the workforce!

Empower Youth Now

This post will be slightly different from my previous ones or perhaps not. I'll let you be the judge! One of my first careers, (oh, I've had a few), was a grade school teacher. The experience was rewarding till I had a class of 40 children from the inner city where there were major behavior problems and general student apathy

I was a student teacher then, yet I noticed that even the senior teachers were stressed out teaching this temporary class of mine. The students did not show violence toward the teacher, then, but there was peer bullying, poor grades, etc.

Fast Forward to 2010 and I was in San Diego in an Intensive 5 day workshop where  participants comprised of teachers, pediatricians, coaches, nurses and other disciplines. One of the early morning breakout session was conducted by a recently retired teacher, who used certain techniques to her class of below average students with behaviour problems. Parents wanted to know how to do it with their children.A few months after daily use, the students grades showed improvement and parents' relationship with their children changed for the better. The principal implemented these techniques to other classes in the school and the SAT scores at the end of the year improved  tremendously. A year later, that school was one of the top performing schools in San Diego.

 Presently, Ritalin appears to be the drug of choice for many students with labels of hyperactivity, ADD, etc but how many of the teachers or parents realize the side-effects of Ritalin??? This link shows the latest research. www.asktheneurologist.com/ritalin-side-effects.html

So what do we do?  Well, teachers and parents, there is hope. I have used some of RET to help
youth who are hyperactive, with ADD and other issues. It has been effective. Just like adults are negatively affected by anxiety, fear, anger, stress and panic, so are the children of all ages. The symptoms children show are slightly different from adults. Now with the right tools, solutions, it is a joy to work with children again. and they are happy, too when they find out how to use these tools to be calm, in control and get wonderful results. Recently this is what a client in grade 3 commented of the session. " It is fun to work with PC." (3rd grader)

I will be presenting workshops to  teachers' associations and parents' council upon request. The programs that are geared to the youth are  A. Empowering Students - a comprehensive package  B. Anxiety Busters.
More on these programs on the next post.

Two easy ways to go from Chaos to Calm!

Have the earthquakes, tsunamis, political unrest in the world made you anxious, fearful and worried? Imagine what the people who are in the midst of those natural disasters or the man-made violence are feeling?
Are you feeling helpless about those situations? Are you addicted to the grim news on the radio or television? Are you thinking that there is nothing you could do to help? Are you trying to put the blame of this disasters on ......?  Whoa... Whoa..... Stop!  Inhale Deeply, and count to three, then exhale. You have the Power to help!

Yes you, and not just by donating cash, which I'm sure some of you have already done. Here are two other tools that you could  use to help those in the midst of the earthquakes, tsunami in Japan, and bloody unrest in the Libya, Haiti and other war zones. The tools mentioned below have empowered others! Why not you???


The first one is relatively simple, relieve the anxiety,worry and fear from yourself ; then once you're are calm, that calmness could reach those people at a distance. Then you do three affirmation rounds, on spreading the Love, Light and Peace to others who are in the midst of natural and man-made disasters.  The words of the Affirmation rounds will be in the conclusion of this post.

Please try it, after looking at the tapping point video, the first one on the right top of this page. It is on
the side bar, you have a video on tapping and Jessica had done a tapping of about 10 minutes to help the people of Japan and other disaster areas.

The second way to help is to meditate and pray and I know for some of you, meditation or prayers have been quite a challenge. Meditation requires more skill than a simple spontaneous prayer from your heart. If anyone wants more information on how to meditate simply, then write to me.

Now have you looked at the tapping spots. While you're tapping these spots, with each of the following phrases, move from the eyebrow point, tapping while you say.

1.Love before me                          2.   Peace before me                          
Love behind me                             Peace behind me                                     
Love on my left                              Peace on my left                                      
Love on my right                            Peace on my right                                   
Love above me                              Peace above above me                           
Love below me                              Peace below me                                     
Love on to me                                Peace on to me                                       
Love in my surroundings                 Peace in my surroundings                        
Love to all                                      Peace to all                                              
Love to  the universe                       Peace to the universe                              
                                              
 3. Light before me                         Light below me
     Light behind me                         Light on to me    
     Light on my left                          Light in my surroundings 
     Light on my right
    Light above me                          Light to all
                           Light to the universe 
                        
Do these three rounds after tapping away your fear, anxiety and worry.
Just remember, if we have fear, anxiety,worry in us, that is what we vibrate, so we have to tap away those negative emotions and then we can replace them with the love, peace and light that those suffering in Japan, Libya, Haiti and other troubled countries are in great need of.
