& Gemology

Flawless gems are auspicious and flawed gems are a source of misfortune. Richard Shaw Brown, Jr ( www.agt-gems.com) writes that the Vedic texts which state that pure flawless gems have auspicious powers ( Garuda Purana, Agni Purana) are correct. ” After 25 years of researching and experimenting with gemstones, it is our carefully considered opinion that the Vedic texts are correct. Flawed gems are simply a source of misfortune, not to mention their being ugly ! Think about it ! How many people are prepared to tolerate defects in their clothing, or any other personal items they possess?. Even a single scratch on a nice automobile is an eyesore, so why do people tolerate flawed gems? “

Howard Beckman ( www.p-g-a.org ) writes that different Chakras absorb different cosmic colors and nourish particular glands in the body.

Diseases can be cured by using appropriate gems.

Astrology
, Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda Regulation of Food, Sleep and Exercise

” Food is medicine; Medicine is food ” said Hippocrates. “Food is Brahman. Food was verily born before all creatures: therefore it is called the medicine for all” declares the Upanishads. By stating that food is the root cause of all ills & illnesses Vedanta have formulated one of the foundational principles of holistic health. At least half the ailments of man can be traced directly or indirectly to the problems of food. Regulation of food is not easy, because it is an addiction like alcohol. Problems like obesity, higher cholesterol level & irritable bowel syndrome crop up if food is not controlled. By controlling food, the whole body comes under control. “When taste is conquered everything is conquered ” averrs Vedanta. What really matters is not how much we eat but how much of what we eat is transformed into bioenergy & the building materials of life.

Sir William Osler pointed out many years ago ” Only a small percentage of what we eat nourishes us; the balance goes to waste and loss of energy”. In holistic health, food should be revered & a proper attitude towards food should be developed. ” Be thankful for all food, for food is Brahman ” said Vivekananda. Six hours have been prescribed for all even though requirement of sleep varies from person to person Research studies have indicated that even moderate levels of exercise bolster the immune system. No amount of sleep is sufficient for unwinding the mind for it is always in a tense state under the stressful conditions of modern life. Antidotes to stress include yogic techniques like Meditation, prayer, cultivation of the Witness attitude & practice of absolute self-surrender to the Divine, which enable us to avoid a lot of unnecessary stress. Doing nothing or simply lying down is not relaxation. The muscles when stretched bring in relaxation as it frees them from the tense condition. Some of the yogic Asanas are highly effective because they can relax the muscles. There will be focal point in the body which reflects the mental tension which one finds oneself in. That focal point of mental tension should be identified and you can choose that type of yogic exercise which will relax the muscles & tendons of the specific focal point of tension in you.

A good site where you can get quality information about Holistic Medicine is www.holistic-alt.com

Regulation of Breath “Breathlessness is deathlessness ” averrs Yoga. Regulation of breath gives tremendous relaxation.Pranayama, without the help of a bona fide Master, can lead to serious complications. What is needed is the practice of breathing deeply ( as deeply as possible ) through both the nostrils & then slowly breathing out ( without breath retention ). This kind of regulated deep breathing can be done at any time, even in your office. Psychosomatic pain can be alleviated by these simple yogic techniques more effectively than allopathic pills or tablets. Here we employ the internal pharmacy of Skill power in lieu of the external pharmacy of Pill Power!

Vedic Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda) gives priority to the Whole and not to the parts, contrary to chemotherapy which treats the parts only.

Astrology
& Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

Tantra focusses on the Chit-Shakti, the Consciousness-Force latent in the Universe. The entire Universe is the play and display of this Cosmic Force and this Force is latent in human beings as the Kundalini. She rises from the Root Chakra to the Crown Chakra during Meditation. Tantra is a similar discipline like Yoga and is very important from the Divine perspective.

A Paranormal Books website–an online business example

October 24, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Business

martyettington asked:


My website is called M.K. Ettington Books (mkettingtonbooks.com) and is designed to showcase Spiritually related books and related products.

I decided to start write my own books on spiritual and metaphysics titles.

The first one I wrote was titled “Immortality: A History and How to Guide”.

Since it was a self published in both printed and digital forms I decided to setup a webpage for this book and bought a domain name for it (immortality.us.com).

In the months that followed I decided to add more related books on subjects like prophecy, happiness, enlightenment, and the paranormal usage of the scientific method.

As I wrote each book I also added a new webpage and domain name for each book then tied them all together.

This approach started to give me some related content on the same website so that if a visitor was interested in one topic they could see the other related pages and might buy those too.

I started selling a few books but the volume was still pretty low.

After a few months of writing and adding individual webpages I realized that I had an interesting theme and should start adding other related content.

At this point I started adding a series of categories in a left margin menu and populating those categories with products and services.

The categories included Immortaltiy, Prophecy, Happiness, and other related areas such as meditation, metaphysics, personal favorites and lots more.

The addition of these categories took my theme to a new level so that spiritual seekers could find multiple offerings related to the original core of books I was selling.

I got the additional products for these new categories by signing up as an affiliate for Amazon.com and Clickbank. Both these organizations offer thousands of products that you can resell and makes commissions up to 75% per sale.

I also bought some digital product packages like the IProfit Ebooks which gave me more products with full resale rights to offer on my site.

After that website expansion I realized I needed to spend more time on marketing my products and services.

(I was also reading a lot of websites and ebooks on how to improve and market websites at that time also.)

The new marketing work included publishing free ebooks, writing ezine articles, and the best one–setting up my own opt in mailing lists.

These lists have evolved into both email lists with lots of information and freebies, and ecourses on specific interests.

Although ECourses take some time to put together, they are very good to have.

In addition to providing useful free information and downloads to persons taking the ecourses, they also explain to those students why the product the ecourse is focused on have good value and they should consider purchasing.

I also started looking for good pay per click traffic generation sites. After trying several I found a really good low cost traffic generation program at 7Search.

Traffic increased on my site but I was still only getting sporadic sales.

Finally, I found that rewriting my webpages with a stronger orientation towards what readers interests and issues are was a key to generating stronger conversions of clicks to sales. This made my site profitable.

I also added additionalcontent such as links to many sites on Ebooks related to spirituality, and Paranormal Groups which lists many groups available on these subjects to let users build an online community in their interest areas.

In the process of educating myself I had developed a lot of interests in internet business and affiliate money generation tools, but these tools didn’t fit with my original website theme of “Paranormal Books and related areas”.

This was when I decided to launch a new website titled makingmoney.us.com/index_files/ecoursebus.htm)

Although I still have a lot of work to do in building sales and profitability I’ve learned several useful lessons:

1) It helps a lot to have your own products which you are excited about. This excitement comes through in your webpages to get prospective customers excited too.

2) Building a website theme around your core interests helps to build traffic which will also cross sell related products.

3) Opt in email lists are critical for building lists of subscribers who are interested in what you have and want to learn more. Most studies say you need to touch up people seven or more times before they will consider buying your products and services.

4) ECourses are wonderful value for both the students who signup and to make them aware of the benefits of your products and services.

5) A strong theme on your website which you can build the business around is a good idea. Think about this carefully before you start your website.

Good luck on starting your own profitable internet businesses.

Best Regards,

Marty Ettington

How to Make Friends for Life — Three Steps Towards Friendship

October 6, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Advice

Sean Carter asked:


Friendship and friends continue to remain central to our lives. The relationship that we share with our friends is grounded in a mutual concern as our friends help us in shaping up our personalities as well. Even in this age of online social networking and ecards, the need of expanding the network of friends, whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people. We may have a very vague understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good many number of friends around us.

Research has shown that the quality and nature of your friends are one of the key influencing factors in achieving happiness, self esteem, and satisfaction. Friends often affect the health and energy of a person as well. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friendsfor for support and mutual sharing rather than communicating to their relatives; and this sociological phenomenon has escalated the desire to make more friends. Though friendship is an impulsive relationship developed between two autonomous individuals marked by a voluntary, emotional and mutual concern, but there are certain steps, which, if implemented can win you friends or at least help you get close to those whom you want to make your friends.

The first step to make friends with someone is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are genuinely interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his name can lay the basic foundation. To make the other person feel important you need to be a good listener and encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not overtly criticize or make fun of him or her.

The second step of making someone your friend is to develop a mutual consideration between each other. You need to share his or her perspective and for that it is necessary for you to develop an inclination to see things from the other person’s point of view. To become best of friends you must show a genuine concern and consideration for your friend’s desires and opinions.

The third and final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to befriend, matches with what that person can and want to contribute in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is assured to flourish, making both of you gratified with mutual emotional bonding.

Friendship has overwhelming significance on both social and individual level. Friendship doesn’t only provide us with emotional as well as utilitarian support but it also helps us to improve our personal identities. So it is quite natural to feel the urge to reach out and make new friends, expanding your friend’s circle. Using the internet and the associated services like free friendship ecards come as a natural extension to this escalating aspiration. Friendship remains familiar yet quite ambiguous for our deeper understanding of this elusive relationship but then again, friends remain the most important ingredients in the recipe of life!
