Follow this simple step by step at home healing treatment and you will clear out many unpleasant thoughts and experiences which may have entered into your personal energy space.  This nurturing treatment will leave you feeling physically and emotionally cleansed, which is a great way to regain perspective as you continue on life’s magical mystery tour. </p>
<p><strong>Mineral Baths are Not the Time for Multitasking…</strong></p>
<p><a title="Sea Salt Baths" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_salt" target="_blank">Sea Salt Baths</a> are especially effective when they include one of my favorite products… <em><strong>Unscented Masada Dead Sea Mineral Bath Salts</strong></em>.</p>
<p>I specify the use of unscented bath salts because you do not want to stimulate the olfactory part of the brain, which helps you to identify smells and scents.  A distracted olfactory system will reduce your mind’s ability to focus on clearing out negative thought forms. This guideline extends to all soaps as well.  Remember, it&#8217;s important to keep all all variations of soaps (scented and unscented) out of your sea salt bath as this will only detract from the singular purpose of the healing treatment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-539" title="Unscented Masada Dead Sea Mineral Bath Salts" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Masada-Dead-Sea-Mineral-Bath-Salts.bmp" alt="Unscented Masada Dead Sea Mineral Bath Salts" /></p>
<p>This is not the time for your brain to be multitasking, so if you should be lucky enough to have some alone time, try to take your <strong>sea salt bath</strong> without distractions from mates and children.  Remember, every once in a while, it really does need to be about you and your needs.</p>
<p><strong>Entering your Sea Salt Bath…</strong></p>
<p>Even though I refer to this treatment as a bath it is in reality a soak.  We are clearing out the internal mind as opposed to cleansing the external epidermis… Besides, sea salt soak would be a real tongue twister!</p>
<p>Once you have drawn the bath water, take three (3) capfuls of the <strong>Unscented Masada Bath Salts</strong> and sprinkle them across the length of the tub.  Now mix the salt into the warm water with your hand.</p>
<p>Enter the tub and layback until the water reaches up the base of your neck.  Use my <a title="my breathing technique " href="http://sandanyi.com/?p=415" target="_blank">breathing technique</a> to relax and really focus on feeling and hearing your breath as it enters and exits your body.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-540" title="Sea Salt Baths - A great way to release the negative aspects of your thoughts and experiences" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Woman-in-Bath-300x200.jpg" alt="Sea Salt Baths - A great way to release the negative aspects of your thoughts and experiences" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Focusing on the breath will allow you to experience more impactful results in terms of releasing the negative aspects of your thoughts and experiences. If left unattended, these negative aspects can accumulate in the memory of your body’s cells and create debilitating effects throughout the physical body.</p>
<p><strong>Exiting your Sea Salt Bath…</strong></p>
<p>When you get out of the tub it is not necessary to remove the salt from your body.  Just towel off and just like a regular bath you may apply you favorite skin lotion.</p>
<p>I suggest taking 2 baths per week.  Try adding an additional treatment if you are experiencing high levels of stress or live in a particularly challenging environment.</p>
<p><strong>Final words…</strong></p>
<p>I can’t tell you how important it is to make sure the bath salts are unscented and that you do not add another element to the bath except for the <strong>Masada Dead Sea Mineral Bath Salts</strong>. There are no real substitutions for these sea salts and their ability to cleanse the internal mind, spirit and body.</p>
<p>Namaste,</p>

While I do not consider myself a master of tea knowledge, I have seen these three teas have very positive effects on various health issues, including <strong>cancer</strong>, <strong>weight loss</strong>, <strong>high cholesterol</strong> and <strong>high blood pressure</strong>.  So let’s take a look at what I call the Three Wonders of Nature.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1312" title="Kukicha, Essiac and Green Tea - The Three Wonders of Nature." src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/FotoliaHot-tea-235x300.jpg" alt="Kukicha, Essiac and Green Tea - The Three Wonders of Nature." width="235" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Green Tea… The Antioxidant Powerhouse!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Green Tea</strong> is largely indigenous to regions within China and Japan and its real healing benefits arise from the fact that it contains very high anti-oxidant levels.  This tea can be taken cold or hot and over the past 5 years it has become more common in the Western World, so much so, that now you can find it in many <a title="sport drinks" href="http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/Green-tea-for-sports-nutrition" target="_blank">sport drinks</a> and various <strong>Starbuck&#8217;s </strong>products.  Just remember, many of these drinks lose their potency when the Green Tea is mixed with other unhealthy ingredients containing sugars.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1313" title="Green Tea - The Antioxidant Powerhouse!" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/green_tea_leaves-228x300.jpg" alt="Green Tea - The Antioxidant Powerhouse!" width="228" height="300" /></p>
<p>Green Tea has been used in Asian cultures for over 3 thousand years to assist with weight loss. <strong>The National Cancer Institute</strong> has also published results saying that Green Tea was shown to reduce the onset of esophageal cancer in Chinese Men and Women by as much as 60%. Now that is an impressive finding! Green Tea is also beneficial in helping lower cholesterol by bringing greater balance to your blood&#8217;s LDL and HDL levels.  These are just a few of the benefits of this tea!</p>
<p>There is one drawback to Green Tea&#8230; It contains very high levels of caffeine (although less than a regular cup of coffee).  So make sure to check with your personal medical professional before consuming this tea in large quantities over an extended period of time.</p>
<p><strong>Kukicha… Bringing Balance to your Everyday Life</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kukicha</strong> this is generically referred to in the healing industry as <strong>Japanese Twig Tea</strong> because it is made from the bark of the tea plant. In Japan, Kukicha is known as the poor man’s tea because all the other parts of the tea plant are sold and exported to other countries.  Tea farmers would cut the tea stems and leaf branches into small sections, then soak and dry them in the sun. Afterwards, the stems are stored up to three years in paper bags where they are slowly consumed over time.</p>
<p>I drink this tea quite frequently, even more than green tea, because it balances the body’s PH levels.  <a title="acid alkaline imbalance" href="http://www.naturalhealthschool.com/pH-balance.html" target="_blank">Acid Alkaline Imbalance</a> is often intensified by other negative dietary factors such the consumption of too much meat, eggs, processed foods and simplistic sugars.  These dietary choices lead to an overly acidic bodily environment prone to common disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1314" title="Kukicha Tea (Japanese Twig Tea) - Bringing Balance to your Everyday Life." src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KUKICHA-TEA-300x200.jpg" alt="Kukicha Tea (Japanese Twig Tea) - Bringing Balance to your Everyday Life." width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Acidic systems are conducive to the formation of cancer cells.  Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline enriched environment so when there is little or no alkaline found in the body you become exposed the possibility of experiencing degenerative health issues.  Alkaline forming foods such as grains, fruits and vegetables are necessary to offset the negative effects of bad eating habits.</p>
<p>In truth, most people with poor diets don’t eat vegetables, grains or fruits and their entire system is out of balance.  Kukicha is also very high in vitamins and minerals such as <strong>calcium</strong>, <strong>zinc</strong>, <strong>selenium</strong>, <strong>copper</strong>, <strong>manganese</strong>, and <strong>fluoride</strong>. So you see, this tea is a very valuable ally when trying to bring into equilibrium what is usually a self induced condition of the body.  Without a doubt, Kukicha is a must have for your at home tea selection.</p>
<p><strong>Essiac Tea…The Cancer Fighting Tea!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Essiac Tea</strong> is mostly known in the world of herbal medicine and natural remedies as a powerful ally to the body when fighting various types of cancers.  In natural remedy circles it is simply referred to as the <strong>“Cancer Tea”</strong>.</p>
<p>This tea was discovered by <strong>Rene (pronounced Reen) M. Caisse</strong>, a Canadian nurse. A prospector’s wife told Caisse of this tea concoction which she brewed to help her fight breast cancer. Over time, Caisse created her own variation of Essiac tea and used it on patients during the early 20<sup>th</sup> century.  It is now believed to be quite beneficial in the fight against cancer.</p>
<p>Much is written on this subject and many Canadians feel her formula is still the best when it comes to potency and effectiveness.  Unfortunately, quite a few companies have jumped on the Essiac bandwagon in order to cash in on the tea&#8217;s cancer fighting properties and there are now many different formulas available.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1315" title="Essiac Tea Blends - the “Cancer Fighting Tea”." src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/essiac-tea-blends-300x221.jpg" alt="Essiac Tea Blends - the “Cancer Tea”." width="300" height="221" /></p>
<p>Essiac Tea is not actually one specific tea leaf but rather a blending of natural elements (<strong>Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel Herb, Slippery Elm Bark and Turkish Rhubarb Root</strong>) that when brewed in a tea form have profound healing effects. I use this tea occasionally as my “physical body’s personal tuning fork” to balance my system and keep any future maladies from attacking me.</p>
<p>Please remember, as with any tea or herb it is best to consult your physician before embarking on dietary changes utilizing such powerful natural healing products.  Essiac Tea should especially be taken under the direction of a qualified health care practitioner because it can have negative effects when not used properly.  When treating cancer, its use should also be varied according the type and stage of cancer being treated.</p>
<p>Well this completes my viewpoints on these wondrous healing gifts of nature and hope you enjoyed my rendition of the real <strong>Tea Party</strong>.  The one that is thrown by nature and has been around for thousands of years!</p>
<p>Namaste,</p>

<p><strong>Alton Brown</strong> of the <strong>Food Network </strong>often talks about antioxidants during his show <strong><a title="Good Eats" href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/index.html" target="_blank">Good Eats</a></strong> (now celebrating its 10th season on air) and recently he can be seen in a commercial walking through a field of Concord grapes talking about polyphenols.  Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants found in plant based foods but what is the big deal about them anyway?</p>
<p>Well… recent Polyphenol research reports indicate quite strongly that they help prevent disease and cancer while helping to improve cardio vascular health.</p>
<p>Let me explain… Each time we breathe we create free radicals.  <a title="Oxidative Stress" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_stress" target="_blank">Oxidative stress</a> is uncontrollable yet it does damage cells through free radicals.  We can help neutralize free radicals by consuming foods high in antioxidants which help reduce cell damage and oxidative stress.   So it’s nice to see more of these informative commercials and ads using words like antioxidants and polyphenols.  I feel it’s about time people become familiar with important antioxidant terminology!</p>
<p>Here are just a few popular polyphenol infused foods: Grapes, Cacao, Legumes, Blueberries, Strawberries, Olive Oil.</p>

<p><strong>Follow the Lead of The Baby Boomers…</strong></p>
<p>As baby boomers mature, they are becoming more health conscious.  Most baby boomers want to feel better than they did yesterday or they just want to feel more like the way they ‘used’ to feel when they were younger.  In order to achieve these results, many individuals resort to drastic changes in their diet.  This is one of the primary reasons so many people are now embracing a balanced <a title="vegetarian" href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vegetarian-diet/Hq01596" target="_blank">vegetarian</a> or vegan lifestyle.  These lifestyle changes inherently incorporate high amounts of naturally occurring antioxidants into a person’s daily diet.  As a result, vegetarians and vegans often achieve excellent results with respect to improving their quality of life and extending their individual longevity.</p>
<p>Others just can’t wrap their heads around going Vegetarian or Vegan because they love meat and carbohydrates.  As a result, positive dietary changes may never happen until a person is faced with a life threatening illness.  Often time is against these people because too much accumulated damage has been done to their bodies.  My question is, “Why wait until you are dealt that card?”   A more enjoyable quality of life is attainable now by eating better foods and getting as many antioxidants as possible delivered to your body on a daily basis.</p>
<p><strong>Antioxidant Foods… The List Is Long, The Choice Is Yours!</strong></p>
<p>Ok, this all sounds great but where can I get these nutrients?  Looking at that list above, what item sounds most appealing?  My choice is without a doubt… Cacao! Why? Because it’s chocolate!  More importantly, it’s a great way to add a powerful antioxidant to your diet without having to initially make drastic changes to your daily eating habits. In addition, if you are Vegetarian or Vegan it is a great way to supplement which ever lifestyle you are currently embracing.</p>
<p><strong>RAW Cacao… A Wonderful Superfood!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cacao</strong> is a very high source of polyphenols and contains the flavoid Epicatechin.  Epicathechin is pronounced ‘epi  CAT a Kin’ and is a powerful antioxidant that helps blood flow by dilation of veins and arteries thus helping with cardiovascular disease.  It also is a great help for those with diabetes. “Studies show that epicatechin and other flavonoids exert a protective role on osmotic fragility of cells, similar to that of insulin.” (<a title="Chocolate/Insulin" href="http://www.phytochemicals.info/phytochemicals/epicatechin.php" target="_blank">Top Cultures</a>) For more information on Epicathechin please visit: <a title="AJCN" href="http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/search?andorexactfulltext=and&amp;resourcetype=1&amp;disp_type=&amp;sortspec=relevance&amp;author1=&amp;fulltext=Epicatechin&amp;pubdate_year=&amp;volume=&amp;firstpage" target="_blank">The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition</a> where you can read many more articles regarding chocolate research findings.</p>
<p>Farmers who harvest these giant pods of gold remove the beans and the pulp and let them ferment for a few days in the sun. They then prepare them for shipping to giant chocolate companies.  During the process these beans turn to a wonderful hue of earth tones from brown to red.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1279" title="Raw Cacao Beans - Loaded with Powerful Antioxidants!" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/raw-cacao-beans.bmp" alt="Raw Cacao Beans - Loaded with Powerful Antioxidants!" /></p>
<p><strong>Beware of Store Bought Chocolate!</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, most store bought chocolate loses a significant amount of its potency during processing because the heating process destroys the naturally occurring antioxidants.  You will find the <a title="ORAC" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_radical_absorbance_capacity" target="_blank">ORAC levels</a> of many mainstream chocolate bars to be significantly lower than what is found in <strong>RAW Chocolate</strong>.  The important thing here is to remember that you are looking for at least 70% cacao in your chocolate of choice.</p>
<p>Read the label and see if you can pronounce every ingredient listed on there and if you can’t then I would have to ask, why put it into your body?  Taking time to find the good stuff will give you these powerful antioxidants that everyone needs every day.</p>
<p>Raw chocolate is certainly powerful!   Watch for new studies from the medical world which will certainly be covered by the various media concerning the <strong>POWER OF CHOCOLATE!</strong> Chocoholics and their friends around the world will now have an excuse to eat raw chocolate and not feel guilty any more.</p>
<p><strong>I Love Chocolate…Tell me about your Favorites!</strong></p>
<p>I am always interested in learning about people&#8217;s favorite chocolates. My favorites are called, &#8221;<a title="Healthy Chocolates" href="http://bodybychocolates.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Healthy Chocolates!</a>&#8221; They are raw cold pressed so I know I am getting 100% of these wonderful nutrients because they are not cooked.  What is your favorite raw chocolate?</p>
<p>Your Chocolate Temptress,</p>

<p>Let us take a moment to review some of the moons cycles and how they relate to our daily lives:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moon Phases and Women</span></strong></p>
<p>Moon cycles govern a women’s <a title="Munstrual Cycle" href="http://www.menstruation.com.au/periodpages/mooncycles.html" target="_blank">menstrual cycle</a> which is important in regards to the overall procreation of our species. This cycle is brought to head by the full moon’s arrival each month. However do to various dietary, and other biochemical interferences with these cycles i.e. birth control, <a title="Soy and Menstruation" href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KGB/is_5_4/ai_n6006183/" target="_blank">soy products</a> to name a few, not all women are able to follow this ‘natural cycle”</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moon Phases and Gardeners</span></strong></p>
<p><a title="Garden Planting by the Phases of the Moon" href="http://www.gardenersnet.com/atoz/moon.htm" target="_blank">Garden Planting by the Phases of the Moon</a> focuses on coordinating the planting crops according to the amount of light being reflected by the sun off of  the moon.   Many vegetables in the night shade family only grow under the moon’s light.  These nightshade vegetables are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and all depend on the light of the moon to grow.</p>
<p><a title="Moon gardeners" href="http://plantsbulbs.suite101.com/article.cfm/moon_gardening" target="_blank">Moon Gardeners</a> often plant their vegetable garden during the new moon, as the lack of “moonlight” permits the seeds to sprout.  As the moon’s light increases over the month the seeds will take root and begin to grow.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moon Phases and Fishermen</span></strong></p>
<p>Mariners and fishermen know what types of fish to fish for in the evening by the amount of light from the moon.  Anglers who rely on the <a title="Soluner Theory" href="http://www.fishermanresource.com/Fishing-By-Moon-Phase-Increase-Your-Catch.php" target="_blank">&#8220;Solunar Theory&#8221;</a> often experience larger catches than those fisherman who rely on luck or revisit the same old fishing spots just out of routine.</p>
<p>So, the next time you speak to a fisherman ask him or her,  &#8221;What type of fish are running durring the current moon cycle?&#8221;  You will find the answer to be quite interesting.  Just remember, altitude plays an important role in the moon&#8217;s ability to affect the tide.  The closer you are to sea level, the greater affect a full moon will have on the tide.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moon Phases and the Healing Arts</span></strong></p>
<p>In many naturopathic disciplines i.e. acupuncture, homeopathy, energy healing to name a few the moon and its cycles represents the feminine aspect or the Yin energy of our bodies in the natural order of things in nature the moon rules the tide cycles of our planets oceans, in this respect it rules the oceanic fluid of your physical body system which is water, and all the organs that relate to water liver, kidneys, gall bladder as water is a way the body “flushes” out toxins.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moon Phases and Your Hair</span></strong></p>
<p>Moon phases also affect how your hair responds to hair cuts and various styling techniques.  Proponents of this concept rely heavily upon the belief that because the body contains so many fluids it is only natural that the moon will greatly influence all aspects of  a human being&#8217;s bodily fuctions.</p>
<p>According to author Dr. George Michael (&#8221;<em><strong>George Michael&#8217;s Secrets For Beautiful Hair&#8221;): </strong></em></p>
<p>“The moon has a magnetic influence on hair just as it does on the tides. During the first quarter of the moon, a person on earth has an extremely opposite electrical pull to the moon itself.. Electric static goes through the body, through the hair, and becomes immersed into the atmosphere. The hair actually serves as a conductor of electricity, and breakage and splitting are minimized.”</p>
<p>So the next time you are considering a major hair alteration try incorporationg a few <a title="Moon Hair Care techniques" href="http://www.longhairlovers.com/moon_maintenance.html" target="_blank">moon phase hair care techniques</a> into your scheduling plans.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moon Phases and Surgery</span></strong></p>
<p>Blood, like the ocean, has fluctuating tides. Many people avoid surgeries during a full moon because the tide is considered “high.” At this stage of the moon cycle, the patient may suffer a greater chance of experiencing ruptured vessels and difficulties associated with the healing process.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Give Thanks to the Moon and Listen to the Messages it is Sending!</span></strong></p>
<p>I hope you take the time, to appeciate not only the beauty of the moon but to also take into consideration how it affects our everday lives. We are all one and unless we try to take into consideration how we are all connected we will continuously miss out on the greater joys of life.  </p>
<p>The idea here is to be in synchronicity with your environment  in order to create greater balance in your life. Your life will unfold like a flower and you will be able to access your <a title="magical self" href="http://sandanyi.com/accessing-the-magical-self%E2%80%A6your-direct-connection-to-all-that-is-was-and-ever-will-be/" target="_blank">Magical Self </a>once balance occurs and you become more in tune with life’s rhythms.   The ebb and flow of life will cradle and comfort you instead of turning your boat over when then the next big wave hits.  </p>

<p>A <strong>Moon Phase Calendar</strong> is now on the sidebar of my website so you will always have easy access to current moon phase information.  Check it often and try to impliment some of the theories described above.  Paying attention to the finer details of your everyday environment will open the door to a more  fulfilling life experience.</p>

Stibnite, sometimes called Antimonite, is a wonderful opaque colored Crystal often used by Feng Shui Practitioners as a remedy to remove negative thought patterns.</p>
<p>So, if you are having trouble with your in-laws try exposing them to this fabulous and largely unknown Feng Shui Crystal. You might be surprised by its effectiveness and no longer will you have to be stressed out when you invite your spouse&#8217;s parents over for dinner or a holiday get-together.</p>
<p><strong>Stibnite&#8217;s Appearance</strong></p>
<p>Stibnite&#8217;s appearance is quite dramatic. It is striated vertically with soft, black streaks and has a brilliant, metallic luster. Its color ranges from lead gray to black and at times it is known to attract a bit of attention by those who have never experienced the unique and lustrous pattern of its jasperoid matrix.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-465" title="Feng Shui Tip for you: Use Stibnite to Reduce Negative Thought Patterns" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/FengShuiCrystals-Stibnite-300x224.jpg" alt="Feng Shui Tip for you: Use Stibnite to Reduce Negative Thought Patterns" width="300" height="224" /></p>
<p><strong> Stibnite&#8217;s Placement</strong></p>
<p>In general, I feel the best place to put a piece of Stibnite Crystal is in the living room because this is the area of the home where most families tend to congregate and keep their family photographs. Feng Shui Principles also believe the living room represents our loved ones, so there is a good chance your in-laws will be spending a lot of their time in this room when they come over to visit.</p>
<p>Try putting the piece of Stibnite on an end table or coffee table. It is best not to discuss with anyone what this stone does as non-well wishing in-laws, bent on creating relationship problems for you, will only resist what the stone does naturally.</p>
<p>Remember, Stibnite has powerful abilities to disarm both negative people and people who do not think of you in a positive light. So, let&#8217;s try to maximize your in-law&#8217;s exposure to this Feng Shui Crystal and in a relatively short period of time, you will be removed from any negative thought forms that are put upon you and the pressure it can cause in your relationships.</p>
<p>Also, many in-law relationship problems have a negative effect on the children of the household. These negative situations cause high levels of stress for all parties involved. Exposure to Stibnite will help you not to be negative when speaking about your in-laws while children are present.</p>
<p><strong>Stibnite as a Peace Offering</strong></p>
<p>You may also consider giving this Feng Shui Crystal as a gift to your in-laws. The longer someone is exposed to the crystal&#8217;s energy the more likely they will improve their behavior. Stibnite will disarm their negative thinking processes and if exposed to it long enough they will start to examine their motives on a deeper level. This period of self reflection will in turn eventually lead them to have more positive thoughts towards you.</p>
<p>This is not to say that all in laws are difficult. If you happen to be one of the unfortunate people who have difficulty in your personal relationships, due to negativity emanating from your family or your mate&#8217;s family, you will find this stone to be a powerful ally in your quest to have a happy and productive marriage.</p>
<p>Now you can stop thinking about moving far away from your in-laws, like so many couples consider, when faced with this specific challenge to their personal happiness. Your difficult in-laws will become a thing of the past when you introduce this wonderful Feng Shui Product into your household.</p>

Access to and reliance upon the God source permits us to have synchronicity and timing which creates the feeling of always being in the right place and the right time.</p>
<p>How to access the <strong>Magical Self</strong> requires the daily practice of keeping our minds still and filled with quietness. Through this process we become more in tune and in sync with our inner guidance system because we are not disturbed by the relentless bombardment of outside noise. Without noise, there is only one sound to listen to and that is the voice of God. Remember, the voice is always there, it is up to you to take notice.</p>
<p><strong>The Rat Race is Just an Illusion, So Be Careful of Its Seductive Ways!</strong></p>
<p>However, for many of us this is a difficult and challenging task because our lives are filled with so much responsibility that our minds are constantly at work completing a multitude of assignments. Much like an assembly line, our minds go through the day identifying, coordinating and solving problem after problem. Even if we don’t have a problem to focus on, we might make one up just to keep our life interesting!</p>
<p>An unrelenting focus upon problem solving only further exacerbates the necessity of quieting our minds so we can listen to our inner directives. So you see, a life without balance only creates increasing amounts of chaos and unhappiness to the point we find ourselves spiraling out of control. Just like the song <strong>“Once in a Lifetime”</strong> by the <strong>Talking Heads</strong>, you will soon be muttering to yourself, <strong>“How did I get here?”</strong></p>

<p><strong>Ride the Wave of Life or Permit Your Life To Unfold Like A Flower…The Choice is Yours!</strong></p>
<p>When we access the <strong>Magical Self</strong> our lives transform and blossom in ways we could only imagine. Much like a surfer, riding a big wave, people who become more in sync with their inner voice find that manifesting the things they want from life becomes a flowing experience. In order to stay on top of your personal wave (your vision of what your life should be like) you will have to “listen” to it and let it become part of you until the two become one.</p>
<p>Others who successfully access the <strong>Magical Self</strong> often associate their life with a flower blooming in the spring or &#8220;being&#8221; as natural as drawing a breath. Life just happens naturally without much thought, anxiety or stress. I know you have met people like this and wonder, <strong>“How do they do it?”</strong></p>

<p>The amazing thing is the more you are able to access your <strong>Magical Self</strong> the more you will be able to attract positive outcomes. Over time many people find that they have the ability to call in more rewarding employments situations, healthier relationships, improved health and greater abundance.</p>
<p><strong>Living an Inspired Life is Your Birthright… Take, Live, Be What is Rightfully Yours!</strong></p>
<p>I believe living an inspired life is our birthright and we unknowingly drift away from the necessary daily activities that are needed in order to access the <strong>Magical Self</strong>.  One thing is for certain, when we quiet the mind, speak less, stop buying into self created drama of those around us, our lives become more still and in focus. It is at this point that we access and create magical outcomes in our life and enter into a phase of what I call <strong>“Total Synchronicity with the Universe!”</strong></p>

<p><strong>How Do I Get From Here to There?</strong></p>
<p>Let’s take a look at how we can create some quiet time inside ourselves and by doing so help aid our journey towards accessing our <strong>Magical Self</strong>.</p>
<p>We must try and create and incorporate these daily practices in our lives on a <a title="Consistency" href="http://sandanyi.com/goal-setting-and-consistency-mind-tools-used-to-gain-self-belief-and-inspire-greatness-in-others/" target="_blank">consistent basis</a> without making excuses or engaging any negative self talk patterns like <strong>“I try but I just can’t do it”</strong> or <strong>“I am just too busy”</strong> or <strong>“My lifestyle is not conducive to being able to be consistent.”</strong> At the end of the day, it is our responsibility to create a seemingly blessed and magical living experience.</p>
<p>Here are some of the daily practices that will help you access your <strong>Magical Self</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>1. Implement a daily practice of meditation…</strong> Try to <a title="Meditate" href="http://sandanyi.com/relaxing-with-the-use-of-proper-breathing-techniques/" target="_blank">meditate</a> 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening as this is one of the most powerful and consistent ways to quiet the mind and listen to our own inner guidance system.</p>
<p><strong>2. Create and apply healthy personal boundaries…</strong> Take time to review your relationships with lovers, family and friends. Start to take a realistic and non-judgmental viewpoint towards those who are directly involved in your life.</p>
<p>This is necessary as we must discover those in our lives that take and take and take until we have been emptied out. These people are sometimes called, “<a title="Energy Vampires" href="http://psychology.suite101.com/article.cfm/stop_energy_vampires" target="_blank">Energy Vampires</a>.” Remember there are no victims and we are the maestro of the orchestra of our lives. The more you are distracted by the negative events of your life and the draining daily occurrences of the world in which we live the further you will drift away from being able to access your magical self.</p>
<p><strong>3. Speak less and listen more…</strong> As we make this journey from within, we come to understand how people self create all aspects of their lives… The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Through listening and speaking less we do not allow ourselves to be drawn into any situation in life that is not for our best and highest good.</p>
<p>Through silence we become more aligned with our highest good because when all the other sounds are eliminated we become witness to the only conversation that really matters and that is between our soul and the universal life force, the omniscient or what many call “God.”</p>
<p><strong>4. Take time to nurture yourself…</strong> Finding time to <a title="Nurture Yourself" href="http://sandanyi.com/sea-salt-baths-%E2%80%93-a-nurturing-way-to-wash-away-negative-energy-and-debilitating-thought-forms/" target="_blank">Nurture Yourself</a> is sometimes dificult  because we come in to this life with many things to work on and work through. The more we become victorious over our challenges, whether they are relationships, health, money, material possessions and the like, the freer we become. However, we can’t use personal circumstances as reasons not to appropriately take care of ourselves. So make sure to eat appropriately, exercise regularly and take personal time just for yourself.</p>
<p>The journey towards personal happiness becomes more accessible once we are able to clear all <strong>“obstacles from the runway of our life.”</strong> You are going to hear a very loud, <strong>“Clear for Takeoff Signal”</strong> once you take time for your own mental and physical needs.</p>
<p><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2FqRaUQNPG0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2FqRaUQNPG0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></center><br /></br></p>
<p>Try these very simply suggestions without further excuse making and you will see a rapid and consistent unfolding process in your life where you can now access the <strong>Magical Self</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>I now leave you to ponder one of my favorite inspirational quotes:</strong></p>
<p>“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.</p>
<p>Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself the Providence moves too.</p>
<p>All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.</p>
<p>A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would come his way.</p>
<p>Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”</p>
<p><strong>~ Goethe</strong></p>

On my <a title="BlogTalkRadio.com" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sandanyi" target="_blank">BlogTalk.com radio</a> show <strong>“Shift Happens”</strong>, I recently introduced the term <strong>“Like draws Like”</strong> to my audience and how it relates to the principle of manifestation through the <strong>Law of Attraction</strong>. Many of my clients are now trying to figure out how to use this principle to improve their current financial situation and to create a more fulfilling employment experience.</p>
<p><strong>Start By Telling A Different Story!</strong></p>
<p>I believe part of what is going on in the world today with respect to the ongoing recession and world financial crisis is largely due to an out of control fear based mentality. Collectively, many of our actions are motivated by what we feel we <strong>HAVE</strong> to do in order to survive and not what we <strong>WANT</strong> to do with our lives in order to live an inspired life filled with passion and joy. In short, we are not here to just survive! What would be the fun of living in this world if all we wanted to do is to drag ourselves across the finish line? During our time on this planet, we should all aspire for personal greatness determined by our individual loving desires and our creative mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-973" title="Manifestation Begins By telling The Story Of How You Want Your Life To Be!" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Tell-A-Story-300x200.jpg" alt="Manifestation Begins By telling The Story Of How You Want Your Life To Be!" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p><strong>Stay The Course&#8230;Even If Change Does Not Seem Apparent!</strong></p>
<p>Many people have difficulties understanding the <strong>“Law of Attraction”</strong> because the principles may not create immediate results or instant gratification. That’s because changing from one thought process to another takes dedication, effort and <a title="Goal Setting and Consistency" href="http://sandanyi.com/goal-setting-and-consistency-mind-tools-used-to-gain-self-belief-and-inspire-greatness-in-others/" target="_blank">consistency</a>. Often we will experience short term discomfort as we unwind from our old way of doing things before we embrace our new way of thinking. Always remain rest assured that through the <strong>“Universal Law of Attraction”</strong> we have the ability as sentient beings to manifest things in our lives that are in line with our personal life paths.</p>

<p><strong>Focus Like A Laser Beam On Your Goals And Desires!</strong></p>
<p>Manifestation is the ability to understand and direct energy with a purpose and a singular mindset. When I am trying to manifest something I try to meditate each day with my particular singular purpose in mind. For example, when I am working on calling in an intimate relationship I enter into my daily meditation and visualize what that person is like, what their energy is like, what type of words they speak, what their vision of their life is and so on. Through this daily meditation practice I am igniting the process of manifestation which magnetically draws in what I think is the perfect mate! This does not necessarily mean <strong>I WILL</strong> be happy, but it does introduce me to people who <strong>I THINK</strong> will make me happy.</p>
<p><strong>The &#8220;Big Bang&#8221; (Hey Funny People&#8230;I Am Talking About The Cosmic Type) Doesn&#8217;t Happen Every Day!</strong></p>
<p><strong>“Like Draws Like”</strong>is 100% belief that through the undeniable existence of the <strong>Universal Law</strong> similar energy is always attracted to similar energy. I reiterate, to my knowledge, no where since the Big Bang has anti-matter and matter had lunch somewhere at a café in the Universe. If this was the case we would have experienced another Big Bang. So in other words, we are always attracting to us mirror images of our own thoughts, behaviors and character traits. This law is never violated even if a person actually thinks they are about something completely different.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-972" title="The &quot;Big Bang&quot; Doesn't Happen Every Day, So How You Act Will Determine What You Attract!" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Big-Bang-300x300.jpg" alt="The &quot;Big Bang&quot; Doesn't Happen Every Day, So How You Act Will Determine What You Attract!" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Look Inward For The Answer To, &#8220;Why Me?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Whether we are in unhappy relationships or work situations, we must always ask ourselves, “What is in me that attracted all these unhappy and unfulfilling experiences?”<strong> “Shift Happens”</strong> only when we figure out these internal components of our existence. Once the necessary recognitions are made, we are able to enter into a phase of self-analysis (without judgment) which creates improved levels of self-awareness. This inner knowledge allows us to modify the necessary thoughts and behaviors that are creating these unwanted experiences. Remember, <strong>“We Are What We Attract.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Focus On Becoming What You Want To Attract!</strong></p>
<p>I cannot stress how important it is to understand that because <strong>“Like Draws Like”</strong> we must identify and change the “ugly” parts of our persona or we will never experience the life we feel we so deserve. We must become the very thing we say we want. Everything is energy and meditation allows you to create the symbiotic energy required to attract people and events of similar energy, which just so happen to be the energy of your dreams.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-576" title="Focus o Wat You Want To Attract and the Two of You Will be Pulled Toward Each Other!" src="http://sandanyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Messy-and-Dirty-Room-300x219.jpg" alt="Goal Setting - Focus on you Tasks and allow Consistency to Allign your Actions with your Goals!" width="300" height="219" /></p>
<p><strong>A Little Visualization Goes A Long Way!</strong></p>
<p>If you would focus for about 5 minutes each day on what you are trying to manifest in your life and take the time to check out your thoughts (your words and deeds should always match) to see if they are in alignment with what you want to attract, you will see very positive shifts in your daily life experiences. You will find this daily system check and meditation invaluable in getting you steered in the right direction towards manifesting your dreams whether it is creating more money in your life, more fulfilling relationships, improved health or any other desire you may have.</p>
<p>Just 5 minutes a day of closing your eyes and envisioning what you want and how it looks and feels to you will create the powerful energy necessary to draw to you what you are actually LIKE!</p>
<p>Namaste,</p>
