  1. @egoeimai I thought you might like this one! lol It's SPONGE BOB!!!!!!!!!! I made him out of a glass box that I turned into a night light! I'm really more into arts and crafts than anything. My mom got me into card making. She's very much into scrap-booking so she has all the tools I need to get creative! I was also teaching part time as an art school teacher for pre k to second graders when I was in college. I tried my hand at floral design for a little while too.
  2. @egoeimai This is what I had for breakfast this morning. I was doing frozen fruit smoothies for a while but nothing feels the same for me as fresh fruit! I like variety and color. So when I go grocery shopping I buy a little of everything and have it spread out into multiple meals. I've actually saved more money this way then doing the fruit smoothies surprisingly. What's on my plate? Peaches, orange, red apple, banana with cinnamon, lemon, dates, red grapes, blueberries, and two different types of cherries. I do mix up my fruit every week- I also like cantaloupe, kiwi, pears, watermelon, pineapple. I usually try to find the best prices and what's on sale. Last week instead of the dates I had raisins and walnuts (for omega 3)
  3. OK....wow this is a trip down memory lane. I'm pulling out stuff from ages ago. lol I was in a very different place than I was now when I made this art.
  4. This is great! We have such talented artists on this forum!!! I love it! I feel inspired now to pull out some old pieces from art school. lol This a more recent painting I've worked on. It has a lot of personal meaning to me.
  5. @Leo Gura The nature of this message is of encouragement and inspiration. I remember you mentioning before that you wished you could live in a cabin in the woods. You have to do what makes you happy. And I support you as a follower in the direction you must go. Life is too short not to have and enjoy the things you want in your life. As you already know and have taught me...the things that make you feel good and have a burning desire for are the keys to fulfilling your life purpose and living a life of enjoyment. I bet the meditation you did in the woods for those several days must have been an eye opener for you. (Now correct me if I'm wrong) but I also recall you writing in a post that you felt this website was holding you back from being/living out in nature where you feel happiest. It actually kinda breaks my heart that you aren't doing this. Where there is a will, there is always a way to create and manifest the things you desire. You have more power than you realize. You are a very magical person. Perhaps you have realized by now that you are a "light worker". @Sarah Marie and I are also "light workers". You have helped a lot of people here to pursue personal development and discover their life purpose. And the impact you have made for millions of people is without a doubt. Life is very fulfilling when you serve others, but life also isn't worth living if you don't give to yourself. You deserve to have this. And I really mean what I'm saying here. Just how you created your career in game development without the degree, moved to Las Vegas to pursue pick up and created this website.....that same burning desire, that motivation, you can use to create this dream of being in the woods, while still maintaining this website. I know you've also said that it's hard to maintain this website and underestimate the capabilities of running an online business if you are out in nature.... but like I'm saying again, where there is a burning desire you can always manifest with the Law of Attraction.
  6. @Revolutionary Think Hi, I have a book you may be interested in reading. This book is also for anyone else that wants to heal their sexuality. Of course by all means, if you feel sex isn't right for you and you are happy then proceed on your journey. A lot of our subconscious beliefs about sexuality stem from early childhood and sometimes religious beliefs we are brought up with. I was told growing up that if I had sex, I was going to hell, and I was very afraid for a long time. These types of beliefs can prevent people from being present when they have sex, and enjoying it fully. Or make people feel that sex is bad and dirty. I thought sex was dirty for a long time too. It may be something you may want to look into. I'm reading this book right now and I'm finding it to be very helpful and healing. 8 years ago my ex bf raped me and I had 3 months of vaginal bruising. I had to end my relationship with a 6 month restraining order and I moved out of town for safety reasons. I was also apart of the adult entertainment industry for many years and ended my career after having a near death experience from someone drugging me in a bar. I left the industry hating men, and very confused about relationships and sexuality. I went to a hypnotherapist/life coach to relieve a lot of what happened. And my recent ex bf also cured a lot of my limiting beliefs. The book is really making a difference in changing the way I feel about all of this. I'm proud of you for speaking up about this and expressing what is going in your life. You have my support.

  7. Seriously....I'm not kidding here. This is how much I weighed when I woke up this morning. And it's been like this for at least the last week or so. And I'm 5 ft 9 1/2 inches!! I am not under weight or emaciated. I haven't weighed this much since like high school! brb.....I'm having a major OCD moment...I need to go clean my bathroom floor and scale now! lol
  8. @Outer Not everyone that cleanses and detoxes experiences the same exact symptoms. One of my old close friends went raw vegan this week and he routinely experiences migraines during detox. He also doesn't sleep well at night for usually the first week and ends up waking up multiple times routinely. He's been off and on again raw vegan for a while. He was unable to focus unfortunately because of outside family stress, but now that the issues are over he can take that journey again. I wish you could see this guy's face before and after 7 days of going raw vegan. His face shape completely changed and the puffiness is gone. This guy is 50 years old and he literally looks like he's 35 with a full head of dark hair!!! He is down at least 10 pounds so far. When I detox I experience something different. My body goes through mood swings and I have a tendency to break out in acne and eczema rashes. I have a history of eczema rashes that go way back from childhood, however they are usually only present when I eat dairy, as many people that have eczema usually have dairy allergies. Old illnesses or issues can stem back up during detox. Yes the author, is listing all possible symptoms that can happen, that have been experienced by others. A lot of detox symptoms you will experience are based off of past illnesses. So sometimes it may look like you're getting worse before you get better. I had cold flu like symptoms at one point during detox as well. The author rates the symptoms on the severity. Usually the symptoms for someone can be more severe if 1.) you go fully raw cold turkey and not slowly ease your way in, or 2.) if you've been eating really bad most of your life your body has more to purge out. If the symptoms are too harsh, you may have to ease into it like I did. First I cut out red meats, than chicken, and lastly I cut out fish. I switched over to cashews and avocados. And don't get me wrong here....my detox symptoms were wild. I was sleeping a lot. And my addictions and cravings were really bad. lol. I would often cave into my cravings in the beginning, but once I fell back off the horse, I got back on if I made the mistake. There was an instance a long time ago when I first started out that I ate all meat and animal products for 3 straight days!! Everyone is different. Some people are able to go cold turkey, I wasn't one of them! lol For a while I did eat cooked vegetables, and was eating vegan products like daiya vegan pizza, and daiya mac and cheese. And would binge eat on potato chips. But I congratulated myself for the transitions and progress I've made. I've been told by many that if you up your fat intake, like eating more nuts, oils, avocados, it will slow down the detoxing if the symptoms are too strong. I've noticed that for myself too. My best friend from childhood that I grew up with is vegan, but prior to that she was vegetarian for like 7 years. Everyone is different on this journey. What is most important is your health and well being. The better you feel the more personal development, enlightenment and self actualizing you can do! So whatever you have to do to get there to obtain good health, take it on!
  9. @AleksM I like Fully Raw Kristina's stuff, but I encourage you to explore and find things that work for you. I haven't specifically bought any books on raw vegan dishes but if I had to buy one of those that you listed it would probably be Kristina's book (Fully Raw Kristina). I think it's because I like her as a person in general so I guess I'm a little biased. Fully Raw Kristina has quite a few good recipes. I'll list a few here for you to look at. Curry noodles mango avocado noodle salad avocado basil pesto fettuccine Alfredo (raw vegan style) My ex bf and I frequently made veggie noodles with the spiralizer aka Veggetti. There are different brands of veggie spiralizers but this was the specific one we used. I got mine at walmart for like $20. It's very easy to use, and you can make different types of noodles. It's cheaper to make the noodles yourself than to buy them in the store. We liked making zucchini noodles. We would make the dressing from scratch using all raw ingredients but I don't recall the recipe off hand of what exactly we used. I think the stuff I listed above is a good place to start. Go with what tastes good! lol https://www.walmart.com/ip/Veggetti-Pro/43174709?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227031835384&wl0=&wl1=s&wl2=c&wl3=59242041872&wl4=pla-122254499792&wl5=9007586&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=43174709&wl13=&veh=sem I think I would be more apt to make fancy dishes once I'm in another relationship with another raw vegan or someone that was open to eating similar. This is what I had for lunch this afternoon. I'm all about rainbow salads. I'm not a big vegetable eater, so this seems to work for me. For breakfast I've been eating a large plate full of various fruits. I'll have to post a plate the next time I make one. I was doing the frozen fruit smoothies for a while but it just isn't the same as having fresh fruit. I really feel the difference in my mental well being. What's in my salad? - avocado, lemon, mixed spring lettuce, red onion, white onions, green onions, radishes, cucumbers, celery, yellow peppers, tomato, cilantro, carrots, purple cauliflower (yes cauliflower comes naturally in that color, it is not dyed). I used lemon juice and organic olive oil for dressing. It's really neat how you can get creative with cooking raw vegan. This is the raw vegan birthday cake I made for my ex bf back in April of this year. It ended up being perfect because it looked like a pizza and matched the ninja turtle theme I was trying to pull off! lol http://www.thisrawsomeveganlife.com/2013/03/raw-carrot-cake-with-cashew-cream.html This was the recipe I was following but I ended up adding and customizing my own ingredients. This is a carrot cake recipe but mine came out more coconut cake like. The cashew cream icing is absolutely evil! omg....My mom even loved this cake and she isn't even raw vegan! lol
  10. @Michael569 I've never done acupuncture but I have experienced acupressure (without the needles) as well as TFT- Thought Field Therapy/EFT- Emotional Freedom Technique (which involves tapping certain acupuncture/acupressure points on the body for emotional relief). I know that it works because I've experienced the results with myself. The acupressure definitely brought pain relief in my body, but I've never used it to personally reverse disease but I'm sure it can be done. And of course if you need to see a doctor by all means do that. TFT and EFT are great at releasing emotions very quickly and speeding up healing. It's really sad that this is so kept in the dark. These techniques drastically speed up healing and can be a potential cure for many. I'm actually planning to study and get certified in TFT- Thought Field Therapy because I've seen the results for myself and other people. It has a 90% cure rate on various emotions including - addictions, phobias, PTSD, anger, anxiety, shame, etc. It even works on physical pain. I was working with a friend on test anxiety, and literally within minutes his anxiety was gone. He was so calm and in a meditative state after tapping. Yesterday, I used TFT on my mom's best friend for muscle pain and she definitely had noticeable relief. Holistic cures can work wonders, but you may need repetitive treatments, and they may not get rid of something completely depending on the situation, but what I've seen and experienced they definitely work. Acupressure, Acupuncture, TFT, EFT, and Reiki and other energy healing modalities, involve working with the meridian lines in the body that are connected to your chakras. Listen to your heart (your heart chakra) and your emotions (your solar plexus). Do what feels right for you.
  11. @Loreena The All-Love website I provided above recommended this book too. It looks pretty cool, I haven't read it yet. Book: Down to Earth Mediumship for Sceptics by Dr. Teresa Parrott and Sue Brotherton https://www.amazon.com/Down-Earth-Mediumship-Sue-Brotherton/dp/0954471113/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501193792&sr=8-1&keywords=down+to+earth+mediumship+for+sceptics They also have a book about "ALL Love" energy healing and how it works. I think I need to order this book! lol Energy Works!: Initiation Without a Master by Teresa Parrott (Author), Graham Crook (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Works-Initiation-Without-Master/dp/1905047525
  12. @Loreena The discovery continues..... I was looking for a good Karuna Reiki instructor and I stumbled upon an instructor that recommended an "ALL-Love" energy course. She pretty much ranted and raved about it. Saying it comes from the same source as Reiki, but minus the crazy symbol memorization. It's supposedly more powerful than Reiki. Reiki energy enters from the crown chakra, but with "All Love" energy, the energy flows/enters from the crown chakra, and the root chakra meeting at the heart chakra, the chakra of Love, thus giving a more balanced form of energy. Reiki can have a tendency to make people feel ungrounded, which I've experienced a few times while working with a few reiki clients. I'm planning to take an "ALL-Love" energy healing class as well, and it will be around the same time as my Karuna Reiki Class. I'll let you know what I find out and discover. It looks like something worth pursuing! http://abouthealing.net/Energy_Works!/How_does_All-Love-SKHM_differ_from_other_systems_of_energy_healing.htm How does All-Love differ from other systems of energy healing? As we have already said, the All-Love and Reiki energy are both aspects of the one Source. However, the energies have a different quality, and the techniques used to connect with them and work with them are quite different. From his personal experience, alone in the Great Pyramid, Patrick knew that it was possible to connect with spiritual healing energy, the energy of Source, directly and spontaneously, without the presence or help of anyone else. Although the presence of an intermediary may be of great benefit, it is not always. All of us have a tendency to give our power away to others, to look to others for advice, rather than seeking it from within ourselves. And many of us would like someone else to do the work for us! Rather than playing an active part in our own healing process, we can too easily become merely passive recipients. Receiving a healing or an attunement from someone else may have extremely positive effects, and may lead to great personal breakthroughs. Yet we need to be constantly seeking to increase our own capabilities. Dependence can quickly develop, without us even realising it, and we may end up going along another person’s path rather than finding the one that truly works for us. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In keeping with this philosophy, the All-Love system does not place too much emphasis on the use of symbols. Instead, it uses visualization, which works by focusing the conscious awareness and forming a clear intent. To invite the energy in, you visualize a brilliant sun, or source, sending its energy down to you. The ankh, which means breath of life, and the infinity symbols are visualized simply as a means of using the mind to enhance the flow of energy. In contrast, in an attunement, a varying number of symbols are installed into a person’s energy system in order to pass the energy. The person later draws the symbols to activate the energy and to use it in different ways. Symbols are useful in the initial stages, to help a person build confidence; though a person will often realize at some later point that energy can be sent at a distance, and that the energy flows regardless of whether s/he uses the symbols. It is then a personal choice as to whether they remain an integral part of working with the energy. In All-Love meditations, each person visualizes the energy entering from above, through the crown Chakra; and from below, through the feet and up to the base Chakra. This means that the energy is grounded throughout the body, and does not just enter the higher Chakras. When the energies merge in the heart center, the whole body is filled with energy. Reiki, on the other hand, does not connect a person with the earth, and therefore can be much less grounded. In the attunements, the central energy channel is opened from the crown Chakra at the top of the head to the root Chakra at the base of the spine. But only the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the third eye, and the crown Chakras are connected with the Reiki healing energy. This means that when the energy enters, it may simply stay in the top five Chakras, and not be connected with the earth. This can be a problem for those people who are ‘up in their heads’ a lot of the time. They experience a pleasant ‘spaced-out’ feeling when giving or receiving the energy, but, as they may already have difficulty being totally ‘in this world’ with their feet on the ground; they do not fully ground themselves or the energy. In a meditation, there are usually some people who will ‘go off somewhere’ in their minds; they feel a sense of space and joy and freedom, and when they ‘come back,’ they are not sure what happened. They can experience the joy of the energy, in the mind, only by dissociating from the painful parts, in other words from the body and the emotions that contain that pain. In the All-Love system, by focussing on bringing the energy into the whole body, we are constantly being brought back to the earth. This process requires that we engage fully in the moment. We do not ‘go off somewhere’ but stay where we really are and do the work we need to do. One of the ways by which we ground ourselves is to come out of our heads and into our hearts. To feel, and not to think. If we open our hearts, we are going to feel what is truly there. If we open our minds, we are going to become consciously aware of what we feel. When we simultaneously open our hearts and our minds, we are going to experience pain and joy in clear consciousness; when this occurs in the presence of the energy, that is when we can spontaneously heal. With love, awareness, and healing energy, pain is transformed. At that moment, the energy is integrated into the whole of our being and we experience an initiation.
  13. @Loreena I've been focused on spiritual studies this week, and I've learned some new things on my journey that I thought you would be interested in hearing. Apparently there are different types of empaths. I was reading a few weeks ago in a book by Doreen Virtue that trees are very healing and have their own energy and spirit. Last week I went out side and followed the directions in the book. I found a tree that I was comfortable with and put my back up against the tree and said to the tree telepathically (or silently) all of my problems and asked for help. No joke this really happened. My mind started flooding with all this advice, and I felt like the tree was talking back to me. A few minutes later the next thing I know my sadness and anxiety I was worried about that day was gone! It felt very similar to my experience of invoking the Archangel Uriel- the angel messenger that works with healing emotions. It was like someone literally shut off my monkey mind! It was awesome! I also tried this yesterday and was having similar experiences. I was really sad and I went out into the woods and I would be flooded with advice and guidance. And I went up to two different trees and felt a world of a difference with my emotions. I had this literal shift in my emotions. Like a 180 degree turn in the other direction! I was talking about it on an empath forum on facebook and they were telling me that I probably am a "floral empath!" lol. I mean I've head heard of people talking about fauna/animal empaths....but not plants! lol This is so fricken cool! I'm not sure if I'm an animal empath as well but I've definitely had some wild experiences with birds recently in the last few weeks! lol https://lonerwolf.com/what-type-of-empath-are-you/# 10 Types Of Empaths Claircognizant Empath This is usually defined by the ability to simply know something needs to be done, or is true or misleading, without having any basis in logic or reason. Often this type of Empath will just “know” when something is right to do, or not, or when someone is lying or hiding something. Emotionally Receptive Empath Most Empaths are emotionally receptive, and can physically and emotionally feel the emotions from other people before they are even expressed. Physically Receptive Empath Many Empaths are also physically receptive to other people’s illnesses and bodily pains. This often manifests itself in the Empath’s own body, and can be an especially useful skill in healing. Fauna Empath This type of Empath can hear, feel and interact with animals. Flora Empath This type of Empath can communicate with plants, being able to receive physical and emotional signals. Geomantic Empath The Geomantic Empath can read the energy and signals transmitted by the earth. Many are able to feel/predict natural disasters before they occur. Medium Empath This type of Empath can either see, hear, feel (or a combination of these elements) spirits, usually from deceased individuals. Psychometric Empath This manifests itself as the ability to receive information, energy and impressions from physical objects, e.g. photographs, clothing, jewelry, utensils, etc. (This may sound weird that you can received messages from inanimate objects. The truth is everything is made up of the same types of energy. So why wouldn't they have their own vibrational frequency?) Precognitive Empath This type of Empath can feel the occurrence of an event or situation before it actually happens. This is usually manifested in dreams, or as physical/emotional sensations, for instance: dread, anxiety, or excitement. Telepathic Empath The ability to accurately read a person’s unexpressed thoughts is the main defining feature of the Telepathic Empath. Are You An Empath? If you are an Empath, you will experience a combination of some or all of the following symptoms: You absorb other people’s emotions like a sponge, carrying them as your own. When someone close to you is physically ill, you can feel this as physical pains in your body. You often suffer from physical or mental fatigue and tiredness. You find Solitude immensely refreshing, and you require it to “recharge”. You often experience many mood swings or emotional states throughout the day. Witnessing violence or cruelty is unbearable to you. You are a very good listener. People often come to you with their problems. Animals and children are attracted to you. You are caring and nurturing by nature. You are hyper-aware of the physical environment, e.g. to smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing, etc. You can’t stand interpersonal conflict. Crowded places are very overwhelming and draining to you.
  14. @Loreena You literally took the words out of my mouth! lol I was definitely thinking about the law of attraction here! God/Absolute Infinity works in very mysterious ways! I've already started using the attunements on that website you provided. Even though I'm a reiki master I definitely felt the shift. I did the Reiki 1 attunement and I had a "healing crisis" (just like they had mentioned in the book!). I was so exhausted I had to go to sleep! Reiki 1 attunements can have a tendency to do that. I'm also going through the Unified Path of Light ascension study course.
  15. @Loreena I'm really glad you sent me this video because the website this video comes from has a tremendous wealth of information! It was actually something that I was looking for!! Thank you so much! It's also a great resource for people that are interested in learning about reiki and finding out more information! Great job!
  16. Sexual Transmutation Energy, Why Good Romantic Relationships can create Financial Success. I wanted to share this information my Ex Bf and I discovered on our journey together. Even though I am single again for right now (and for a good reason), I've learned how truly valuable a good relationship...specifically a sexual committed one, can effect a man's success and career. (Of course it's great for women too, but I'm going to be referencing from an old book, when most women weren't working in that day and age). It's really important to think about who you decide to make a long term commitment with. We found this information in the book: "Think Your Way to Wealth," By Napoleon Hill. If you haven't read up on really good sources on the Law of Attraction, and seen it working in your life (like I have) through much practice and studying, this may not make sense to you at all. But I felt it was worth sharing for those that may be open and interested. https://selfdefinition.org/celibacy/quotes/napoleon-hill-sex-transmutation-part-1.htm *I would copy and paste the pages, but unfortunately I don't have access to them at the moment, but I found a great website above that explains a lot of how this works. It's apparently in Napoleon Hill's other book "Think and Grow Rich" Sex transmutation is simple and easily explained. It means the switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression, to thoughts of some other nature. Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times. So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge it. When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage, etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling, including, of course, the accumulation of riches. The transmutation of sex energy calls for the exercise of will-power, to be sure, but the reward is worth the effort. The desire for sexual expression is inborn and natural. The desire cannot, and should not be submerged or eliminated. But it should be given an outlet through forms of expression which enrich the body, mind, and spirit of man. If not given this form of outlet, through transmutation, it will seek outlets through purely physical channels. A river may be dammed, and its water controlled for a time, but eventually, it will force an outlet. The same is true of the emotion of sex. It may be submerged and controlled for a time, but its very nature causes it to be ever seeking means of expression. If it is not transmuted into some creative effort it will find a less worthy outlet. Fortunate, indeed, is the person who has discovered how to give sex emotion an outlet through some form of creative effort, for he has, by that discovery, lifted himself to the status of a genius. Scientific research has disclosed these significant facts: 1. The men of greatest achievement are men with highly developed sex natures; men who have learned the art of sex transmutation. 2. The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman. (** I can not express in words how powerful this is. If a man takes the opportunity to really choose who he has a relationship with, especially a woman that fully supports his work/life purpose and what he is doing, he has the potential to be extremely successful. I saw this first hand for myself, as I watched my ex bf regain a lot of his old art talent because I encouraged and inspired him to go after his dreams. It was like this whole new person, I didn't even know came alive! I gave him full support without zero judgement, and this man was just gleaming with positive energy. He became vibrant, and really started to take actions steps towards his music career.) The research from which these astounding discoveries were made, went back through the pages of biography and history for more than two thousand years. Wherever there was evidence available in connection with the lives of men and women of great achievement, it indicated most convincingly that they possessed highly developed sex natures. THE TEN MIND STIMULI The human mind responds to stimuli, through which it may be "keyed up" to high rates of vibration, known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc. The stimuli to which the mind responds most freely are: 1. The desire for sex expression 2. Love 3. A burning desire for fame, power, or financial gain, MONEY 4. Music 5. Friendship between either those of the same sex, or those of the opposite sex. 6. A Master Mind alliance based upon the harmony of two or more people who ally themselves for spiritual or temporal advancement. 7. Mutual suffering, such as that experienced by people who are persecuted. 8. Auto-suggestion 9. Fear 10. Narcotics and alcohol. (*Love and sex are the most positive forces/emotions in the universe, and can allow us to create so many beautiful things. Sex is a creative energy frequency. It will make more sense once you study law of attraction, hard core. ) The desire for sex expression comes at the head of the list of stimuli, which most effectively "stepup" the vibrations of the mind and start the "wheels" of physical action. Eight of these stimuli are natural and constructive. Two are destructive. The list is here presented for the purpose of enabling you to make a comparative study of the major sources of mind stimulation. From this study, it will be readily seen that the emotion of sex is, by great odds, the most intense and powerful of all mind stimuli. This comparison is necessary as a foundation for proof of the statement that transmutation of sex energy may lift one to the status of a genius. Let us find out what constitutes a genius. Some wiseacre has said that a genius is a man who "wears long hair, eats queer food, lives alone, and serves as a target for the joke makers." A better definition of a genius is, "a man who has discovered how to increase the vibrations of thought to the point where he can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of vibration of thought." https://selfdefinition.org/celibacy/quotes/napoleon-hill-sex-transmutation-part-2.htm WHY MEN SELDOM SUCCEED BEFORE FORTY I discovered, from the analysis of over 25,000 people, that men who succeed in an outstanding way, seldom do so before the age of forty, and more often they do not strike their real pace until they are well beyond the age of fifty. This fact was so astounding that it prompted me to go into the study of its cause most carefully, carrying the investigation over a period of more than twelve years. This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to DISSIPATE their energies through over indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance, that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery, do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five to fifty. This usually is followed by noteworthy achievement. The lives of many men up to, and sometimes well past the age of forty, reflect a continued dissipation of energies, which could have been more profitably turned into better channels. Their finer and more powerful emotions are sown wildly to the four winds. Out of this habit of the male, grew the term, "sowing his wild oats." The desire for sexual expression is by far the strongest and most impelling of all the human emotions, and for this very reason this desire, when harnessed and transmuted into action, other than that of physical expression, may raise one to the status of a genius. One of America’s most able business men frankly admitted that his attractive secretary was responsible for most of the plans he created. He admitted that her presence lifted him to heights of creative imagination, such as he could experience under no other stimulus. One of the most successful men in America owes most of his success to the influence of a very charming young woman, who has served as his source of inspiration for more than twelve years. *The website also sources good information on Celibacy, but I choose to believe that relationships can be very resourceful in creating success. Of course you should do things for yourself, but I found this information to be very interesting.
  17. @AleksM I'm not talking about a 10 day detox diet. I'm talking about the detox symptoms you experience from making the permanent life style change to Raw Vegan. Although smoothies and juices can work for many people and that may be their best option. You are right your body does detox every single day, but for some people it's not enough depending upon what you are eating (especially if they make very poor food choices). And that was the case for me. My diet growing up was primarily junk food. There were many weeks that I never ate a piece of fruit. Dinner was either- pizza, a cheese burger, taco bell, or Italian food. As a child my lunch box was filled with twinkies, little debbies cup cakes, fruit roll ups, gushers...etc. I literally had one of everything for REAL in my lunch box! On halloween I would come up with huge buckets of candy. My parents never regulated my food intake and I would eat the majority of my candy Halloween night! By the time I had reached 13/14 years old I had very painful menstrual cycles that were so debilitating I would miss school. I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts, which is very common on my mother's side of the family. I was expecting that I would have a hysterectomy in my early 30's at the rate I was going. When I was 30 yrs old I went raw vegan and I reversed my ovarian cysts in 6 months. It was even confirmed by my gynecologist. While I ate this way, I went through some very bad detox symptoms for quite some time, (for example: headaches, breaking out in eczema rashes, swinging moods, fluctuations in my energy levels, mucus in stools and urine, etc.). I've known a few raw vegans who have also witnessed the same detox symptoms first hand. And after I detoxed I never felt better in my life! I have also witnessed the detoxing first hand for myself eating in many different ways as I had tried everything to get rid of my ovarian cysts- eating an american standard diet, as a vegan and a raw vegan. So there are some major detox differences. I'm not posting stuff on this forum, just to post stuff. I am here to share this with other raw vegans I know that are on this forum, and for those that are interested in taking this journey. I would never want anyone to do anything that they are not comfortable with. If the juicing and smoothies work for you, by all means go for it! And I'm happy it is working for you.
  18. @Outer I fully understand where you are coming from, and I honestly wish I could eat this way. Pizza is my favorite food, but unfortunately I cannot eat it. I have very severe food allergies which does not help: eggs, dairy, soy, corn, wheat gluten, peanuts, etc. It pretty much cuts most things out of my diet by default. Any time I eat wheat gluten my thyroid completely shuts down, and I am unable to produce hormones to regulate my emotions. I was mistakenly diagnosed with being bipolar for many years because of the wheat gluten allergy. Whenever I eat diary, I break out in really bad eczema skin rashes that last for weeks. And the diary also causes my body to produce massive amounts of mucus. I was skeptical at first. But a friend of mine turned me on to raw veganism. I reversed my ovarian cysts and my thyroid problems by being raw vegan for 6 months! Nothing else had worked. I went to several different doctors, and tried various blood testing, medications, other diets, and hormone replacement therapy. I even had my gynecologist confirm they were gone after my raw vegan diet! I know quite a few people that are raw vegans and they have had similar stories. There is a very famous raw vegan named Annette Larkins. She is 70 years old and she looks like she is in her 40's from this diet. The strongest man in Germany is Vegan and his name is Patrick Baboumian. And there are many raw vegan body builders on the internet that show transformations of their bodies before and after changing their diet. When you eat as clean as I do, you can taste and feel the difference. You don't notice it at all when you eat cooked foods, and regular diets. Now that I'm raw vegan I never get sick. I haven't had a cold or a flu in over 2 years now because of this diet....and this is not coincidence. I've switched back and forth between being vegan and raw vegan, and I've had very noticeable differences in my well being. My bloating in my stomach is gone. I no longer get panic attacks. I can breath better. I have more energy. I think clearer. My acne on my face and my back is gone! My taste buds have changed and things also taste different and better. So I want you know...I'm not posting stuff on raw veganism, just to post stuff. I've witnessed this first hand for myself, and know quite a few people that eat this way. And I would never tell anyone to do anything that they certainly don't want to. Only you know what is right for you. If you are happy eating pizza and cooked vegetables, by all means do it! I was sharing this for others who are also following the same path as myself and have seen the changes taken place. And also for people like myself that are looking for hope and a possibility of change.
  19. @Loreena your welcome
  20. @Loreena Just like people, and as silly as it sounds stones/crystals can absorb energy/emotions/feelings and actually need a break. Everything is made of energy, and has a vibration, and so do stones and crystals. I've had experiences where I've bought brand new necklaces and they broke shortly after because I didn't cleanse and take care of them. Last year, I had a malachite pendant that fell off my necklace in my car. It was the craziest thing, I swear on my life, this stone every time I tried to grab it, it went even further under my car seat! For REAL!! The good news is malachite is great for safe traveling, so I had no problem keeping it there! lol I'm sure it was because I had over used the pendant without cleansing it. Just the day before, I was a passenger in my friends car and he wasn't looking where he was going and almost crashed into another car...inches away. I was wearing that pendant when it happened....we should have been in an accident...I firmly believe the necklace was a big contributing factor to my safety! There are different ways to cleanse stones/crystals and clear their vibrations. (ex: washing them with running water, placing them in the sun light/moon light for 24 hours, sound therapy, sending reiki, etc.) https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-14887/how-to-clear-activate-store-your-crystals.html I'm no expert in crystals yet, but I have been told by a few crystal experts that you don't pick the crystals, they pick you. (A lot of people use crystal pendulums to choose their stones/crystals) But that wouldn't constitute a reason to have bad luck, or the drastic set of events that occurred for you. Crystals don't retaliate against people! I can tell you from personal experience and the Law of Attraction, that we can attract a cycle of bad luck to us by our feelings. I've had days where things go drastically wrong, with one turn of an event after another, and usually I'm in a really negative vibration (negative mood) the whole day, so I keep attracting more bad things. And the same has happened with good days...everything just goes right. I wish the Law of Attraction was a major topic on this forum. It sounds like I'll have to start a forum topic some time soon about Positive/Negative Energy and the Law of Attraction. The good thing about stones and crystals and their meanings is that it's so easy to look them up on the internet. I have a few books about crystals and their meanings but I haven't had the time to get reading all of them yet! I'm actually preparing to take another Reiki Certification class in early August, so I probably will be disappearing from this forum for the next few weeks very soon. So if you don't see me around replying, that's probably why. Here is a link here that shows a few crystals for good luck. I just typed into google "stones for good luck" and this was one of the sites that came up. http://www.energymuse.com/blog/crystals-for-good-luck/ This is one of the books I have at home that I need to read. There are so many stones, and they all have different abilities, and resonate with different chakras. I was told by my reiki instructor it takes quite some time to learn this stuff. Atleast for using "Crystal Reiki" it is an extensive set of courses. What's great is a lot of these books you can look up key phrases like "good luck", "wealth", "opening the third eye" etc. and they will point you to what stones to work with. http://meanings.crystalsandjewelry.com/labradorite/ Labradorite (also called Spectrolite sometimes) is a considered by mystics to be a stone of transformation and magic. It is said to clear, balance and protect the aura, as well as being an excellent stone for general protection. It is purported to help provide clarity and insight into your destiny, as well as attract success. It is used in metaphysics for dream recall, and finding ways to use dreams in daily life. Mystically, energies of stress and anxiety are said to be reduced by labradorite, possibly due to is energy of self-confidence. Labradorite is said to increase intuition, psychic development, esoteric wisdom, help with subconscious issues, and provide mental illumination. In crystal healing and folklore, Labradorite is said to help with eyes, sight, diagnosis, brain, digestion, metabolism, warts. Note that healing crystal meanings are spiritual supports to healing and are not prescriptions or healthcare information. Labradorite is associated with the solar plexus and brow chakras.
  21. @General 2 Angels are VERY safe. Angel Therapy Book - by Doreen Virtue An Angel is a celestial (non physical) being who is an egoless messenger of God. In fact the word angel derives from the Greek and translates to the phrase "messenger of God." Angels are the delivers of Heaven's love and guidance. Every person has atleast 2 guardian angels. Many people have more, either because they've asked for additional angels or because others have asked God to send them on their behalf. These are your personal angels, who are with you your entire life time. Some angels will come and go through-out your life, depending upon your circumstances and needs. But your core guardian angels will remain constant. Angels are apart of your human physiology, like a heart or liver; and they're committed to helping you live a long, healthy and happy life. Your angels are invested in you and the fulfillment of your life purpose. Your guardian angels are with you every moment of every day. They unconditionally love you, no matter what, and want the best for you. They never tire of you or get bored, frustrated or upset with you. The angels have a purpose to enact God's will, which is peace upon Earth, one person at a time. These beings know that if each of us is peaceful, then we'll have a world of peaceful people. ----------------------------- * We all have at-least two guardian angels. One is to help you along with your life purpose, the other angel is there to calm and comfort you in times of stress/sadness/depression. Angels and God are always communicating with us whether we realize it or not. Most people are completely unaware of what's going on. A lot of our positive intuitive feelings we experience are the angels speaking to us! ---------------------------- How to hear your Angels - by Doreen Virtue The word angel means "messenger". Angels bring messages from the Divine mind of the Creator. (aka God, Absolute Infinity ) They're gifts to us from God, sent to help us remember our divine nature, to be loving and kind, to discover and polish our talents for the betterment of the world, and to keep us out of harms way before our time. They also guide us in the areas of relationships, health, career, and even finances. Your angels help calm you, because one person at a time leads to a world of peaceful people, which equates a world of peace. That's why your angels desire to assist you in any way that will lead you to serenity. You aren't bothering them or wasting their time if you ask for small favors. They know that minor irritants often add up to major stress, so it's their great pleasure with anything that stands in your way. ------------------------ Angels are absolutely amazing. I have worked with angels for the last year during my reiki and hypnosis sessions. Yes, my clients have asked to work with the angels, and they feel happy and are safe. Working with Archangels was one of the best things that every happened to me. There are different types of angels that can help you with different types of things. I've personally experienced working with angels in my life making changes with my health and well being. One of my favorite angels I enjoy working with is Archangel Uriel. I've invoked Archangel Uriel, and have seen instant changes in my emotions. Some people feel the angels, and some don't. When you work with angels you can feel air pressure changes, temperature changes in the room, see or feel a presence etc. Whether or not you experience them really depends on few things- Where you are spiritually. If you are afraid of angels, they know better not to show their presence. If you are in bad health, or on a very negative person it can be very hard experience or notice them. I was divinely guided to eat become RAW vegan regardless of my eating preferences. You may have read on the internet that the pineal gland is the door way to connecting to the spiritual realm....I gotta tell you they weren't kidding. I've been on and off vegan for 4 years. It took me that long to clear and detox all the crap out of my body. When I'm contacted by angels and God, I can literally feel my pineal gland vibrating. I've literally had instances where I've invoked Archangel Uriel and my monkey mind with all it's crazy emotions that can be hard to control...completely shut off! I'm being completely serious about this when I say that my emotions changed in a matter of seconds, and was filled with complete peace. I can not guarantee what kind of exact results you will get working with angels, because I don't know what other people's emotional and physical states they're in. And not to mention spiritual states. But I can tell you, they are very real, and I've seen one physically with my own eyes. They are safe, and they are there to help you and protect you. -------------------------------- Archangels are the managers of the angels. They are one of the nine choirs of angels (Seraphim, Cherubin, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and guardian angels). Of all these Heavenly beings, the guardian angels and archangels are the most involved with helping Earth and her inhabitants. Each Archangel has a specialty and represents and aspect of God. Archangels work with people of all different beliefs and paths. In fact, they work with whoever asks. All angels are nondenominational, and they help any one, regardless of the person's religious or nonreligious background. They're able to be with each one of us, individually and simultaneously, because they're beyond space and time restrictions. Here is a list of some of the Archangels and how they can help you. https://www.angeltherapy.com/meet-the-angels
  22. @AleksM Thanks for sharing the info about moldavite! I've seen it before, but I wasn't aware of it's abilities. Moldavite looks like freeze dried kale! lol I work in a holistic center doing hypnosis and reiki and the lady I rent space from sells healing jewelry and stones. I know she has Moldavite there so I should definitely get one! I hope one day to fully understand them and integrate them into my practice!
  23. @Evilwave Heddy I've covered myself in crystals but never bathed in them. And wow...it feels really good. I bought a whole bunch of natural stone/crystal strands while they were on sale and placed them all over my body. I felt so rejuvenated. I feel a difference just walking into a room with crystals compared to one that it isn't. I recently took a jewelry making class because I'm interested in taking my art and healing skills to another level. You can make healing jewelry and combine different stones and crystals together. I made this one necklace and anytime I would wear it, it would literally make me fall asleep! This stuff is powerful. You can even use stones to heighten your sex drive and take away pain! I've seen it happen and it works!
