Astral Projection - The Silver Cord To Another World

By Benjamin Parry

At one time or another most people have heard about doing astral projection. Maybe they have a friend that practices it, or watched some movie about it, or even read a book on the subject. Not all people clearly comprehend that you really can do astral projection and that in fact everyone can do it. You could have easily astral projected without knowing you were doing it at the time.

We need to first look at the definition for astral projection. To state this in very simple terms, astral projection's definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night. When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.

Many children actually astral project without being aware of what they are doing. It happens usually when the body is relaxed or even when they are asleep. Time and distance do not mean anything when talking about astral projection. The astral body can travel without these considerations.

You may be asking at this point what is meant by the astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body's invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.

The astral body is immediately connected to the physical body upon entering it with this silver cord, this cord cannot ever be broken except through death. This cord actually protects the physical body from losing the astral body.

Are you trying to figure out where you go to when you do this astral projection? Well the astral body travels to what is called the astral plane, which turns out is the invisible duplicate of the Earth. This astral plane rapidly vibrates more than the physical Earth does and these particular vibrations go all the way to the Earth's core. There is another belief though that another dimension or alternate reality is the meaning of astral plane. One thing most agree about on this subject though is the fact that the astral plane is composed of several layers.

Are there any risks to astral projection? Yes and no. Your physical body is at no risk and nothing can keep your astral body from returning, but there are some dangers. However, the risk is pretty minimal. Just keep a level head and know where youre going beforehand.

The greatest danger when astral projecting comes with the mind is not carefully prepared or under the influence of thought and perception, altering substances such as drugs or alcohol. There are a number of levels to the astral plane. The lower levels are not considered places to visit and are often considered to be unsafe. It is these levels that are easiest to access when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Exercise the same care you would in a place you don't know in the physical universe. Just be aware of your surroundings and youll be fine. However, the aim of astral projection isn't just to stay safe; it's to practice the ability until you're able to do it consciously and be in total control of your thoughts.

When engaging in astral projection it is important to prepare properly. Once you know how to prepare, you will find that astral projection is a quick and easy process. The method of preparation varies depending on the professional consulted. However, there are a number of, at home, training programs that provide individuals with the opportunity to learn how to control the experience and ultimately obtain both more enjoyment and benefit from astral projecting.

The internet has a wealth of information on astral projection and there are a number of books, which describe a number of techniques that can be used in order to prepare the mind and body for astral projection. There are even recordings that use hypnosis to assist in astral projection. There is an advantage to these types of recordings. You can have them play on repeat giving people who may find it difficult to prepare the time necessary to reach the appropriate state of mind; this extra time might not be available if professional sessions are used.

In the field of sound technology there have been many improvements in the area of binaural beats. With this you listen to different sounds in each of your ears. This quickly gets you into the meditative state that is crucial for you to reach to do astral projection with the right results.

If you are unable to astral project at first, do not be concerned. It is something that requires practice to be able to do. It is important to remember that this is not actually an acquired skill but something that is already known to each person. They simply need to remember how to astral project and then to practice in order to obtain a level of proficiency.

Still in doubt about astral projection? How about an example from your own life? You've had those dreams where youre flying which end with a falling sensation right before you wake up. You werent really dreaming; the sensation of flight was what your astral body feels like as it travels. When you felt you were falling, that was your astral body returning to your physical one. Astral projection is very real and with a little work, you can learn to do it anytime you like.

Is Your Future Really A Result Of Your Past Lives?

By Richard Fox

If you believe in reincarnation, there are ways for you to figure this out today. There are some individuals out there who practice reincarnation as part of their religion, but others are simply curious. Whatever group you fall into, the answers lie in everything you do in this lifetime. However, you must take advantage of the clues you get along the way, and these are just a few ways you can go about doing it.

Keeping Track of Everything

One of the first things we recommend doing is keeping track of everything. If you truly want to tap into a past life, then you'll want to figure out your emotions and how you react to things each day. These can be big clues to whom or what you were in the past to others. The reason you will want to write this down is so you can come back and look it over later when you're piecing everything together.

Start by looking at your life today and see what clues you find. It doesn't matter if you're driving down the road and notice a billboard. The goal here is to figure out what type of a reaction you're having to that situation. It could be about the weather, your kids, the job, a television show, or even a stroll after dinner. You have to include everything or you won't be able to utilize all the information correctly.

When you wake up in the morning, think about the dreams you had last night. One thing to keep in mind is that our dreams tend to bring out past lives clearer, so remembering them is important. So the next time you come across a symbol or event that would never occur today, it's possible you knew this in a previous life and it tried to surface in your dreams. We understand this can be difficult, but if you tell yourself you want to learn about your past lives before going to sleep, it can definitely help.

Try Therapy for Past Life Experiences

If you haven't heard of PLR, it stands for Past Life Regression. There are several therapists out there that guide you through a regression period and help you understand the information that comes from it. Unfortunately there are only a few of these places available that truly train and certify their professionals. We suggest letting the International Association for Regression and Research and Therapies and the International Association of Past Life Therapists find a therapist in your area.

Try Meditation

If things just aren't going according to plan, we recommend taking the meditation approach. It's just one way you can keep this search within the confines of your home, and allow you to do it without the negativity from others. Indulging yourself to find out more about a past life is very important to some people, and hearing others complain does not help the situation.

When you reach this state of mind, you will notice various images running in and out of your mind. Now, you aren't going to get a straight forward answer to all of this, but you will be able to find valuable information that has been hidden for years. Then again, you have to tell yourself you can do this with ease. If you don't think you can then you won't.

There may be times when you feel as though this is a difficult state of mind to accomplish. When this happens there are other alternatives like a visual stimulus to help you along the way. It might be as small as a candle flame or more professional like a pendulum. Whatever the case may be you have to find the right fit for you.

Another option is to take advantage of binaural beats. This allows you to hear different frequencies in each ear and results in relaxing you completely. It's been said that you can experience the same state of mind as a Zen monk by using this technique, but that's a debatable subject.

While all this is great, you have to find a place that will allow you to meditate properly. Having three kids in the family room, the phone ringing, and you trying to meditate just won't work.

First of all you need to find a comfortable position once everything is quiet and peaceful. You will have to teach yourself how to relax the muscles which will calm the mind. If you get distracted with stressful concerns or anything else, you have to let them go. It's hard to do at first, but once you're able to make that connection the body will flow into a meditation much easier.

If you truly believe in reincarnation, the images you get will eventually help resolve something in your life. Just keep in mind that you can't always tell if something is from a past life or your present one. The only thing you do know is that if you log enough information, you're bound to find something that works into your past life scenario.

It's an amazing thought, but there are times when people in your family knew each other in a previous life. Granted, the relationship back then could have been different, but the connection was still there.

At the end of the day you just need to believe in reincarnation. Since you've made it this far we imagine you do. If you plan on trying regression, you'll be able to get some extremely beneficial information about your past lives. It could be the first step to finding all the answers you need.

Chronic Yeast Infections - Learn More About Them

By Jason King

Recurring Candida infections can be a very irritating problem for some adults. Despite the large variety of over the counter and prescription anti yeast medicines available, they are sometimes tricky conditions to overcome, and fairly often return without prior warning.

Home cures are usually enough to take on any infrequent Candida infections, but in the case of chronic Candida infections they're more effectively best teamed up with certain medicines.

You need to be careful when self-treating, as with some anti fungal active ingredients - even ones that appear fairly harmless - reactions can happen when taken along the side of other medications. As well, some treatments work perfectly well for most people, but can create an allergic reaction, or otherwise negative effect in other adults.

In these instances where someone may be contemplating mixing different remedies to cure cases of regular or chronic Candida infections, a medical practitioner should first be consulted. And a diary of the different types of cures should be kept, as this can assist in the event that the person suffers from an adverse response to any of the treatments.

Chronic Candida infections happen for a number of reasons. One major reason is a suppressed immune system, such as with adults suffering from AIDS or HIV. If you're suffering from recurring Candida infections, it's best that you speak with your doctor to rule out the probability of any contributing factors of a more serious nature.

In saying that, a weakened immune system is a long way from being the main cause of chronic Candida infections. Antibiotics are another common cause - a quick prescription of antibiotics is more than enough to wipe out all the bacteria in your body, which is a perfect environment for the fast growth of Candida-infection fungus.

If you're going to be taking a course of antibiotics, it's best to take precautionary measures to strengthen the 'beneficial' bacteria in your body, for example eating plenty of sugar free, natural, live yogurt (which comprises of live acidophilus bacteria cultures) and garlic, which stimulates your immune system and regulates the endocrine system (which is responsible for hormone distribution and supervision).

Another factor for chronic Candida infections lies in stress, and a poor diet. Stress is a great imbalancer and inhibitor of everyday bodily functions even though a lot of adults might not have knowledge of this. And when stress is coupled with a steady diet consisting of all the "wrong" foods, conditions for chronic Candida infections to arise are ripe.

Another frequent cause of chronic Candida infections in women is the continual use of 'feminine products' which contain colors, flavorings and scents. Even washing yourself with soap is enough to start off a Candida infection; continual use might cause chronic Candida infections. Steer away from douches, elaborate female washes, genital deodorants, and other chemical-based products. Simple, just plain tap water is more than enough to clean your intimate areas with as the vagina is self-cleaning.

The only way to absolutely prevent chronic Candida infections is to take full stock of your way of living, and to duly change it to reflect a stress-free and healthier one, where Candida infections are least likely to occur.

What Is A Digital Watch?

By John P Stevens

For almost everyone, a watch is a necessity item. Irrespective of age and gender, it is a requirement for everyone. The main function that a watch performs is to tell the time, but it has been widely used as a luxury accessory.

With the passage of time, the technology used in watches has undergone many changes, and they are more advanced now. The traditional watches were analogue. The analogue watches are designed in a manner that they have a numbered dial with two hands, an hour hand and a minute hand, which collectively tells the accurate time. This was changed in the 1970s when a watch with a new design was introduced. In a digital watch, there are no minute or hours hands; in fact, the time is displayed on a screen in the forms of digits such as 06:30 pm. All you have to do is to look at the screen to know the exact time.

A digital watch works in the same way, as a mechanical watch, but it is powered by electricity. The source of this electricity is a small round battery, which powers the watch. A digital watch has an electronic time base, which is used to tell time accurately.

The display screen can be of two types, it may either be a light emitting diodes (LED) or a liquid crystal display (LCD). As compared to the mechanical watch, a digital watch has a counter that has the same function as that of a gearing mechanism in a mechanical watch. The counters functions in a way, that it produces numbers from zero to nine in a sequence, which enables it to keep track of the time.

The Pulsar division of Hamilton Watch Company made the first digital watch in the year 1970. As it was a new technology, therefore it was very expensive, and was not affordable by all and sundry. When the production of watches started in bulk in the year 1975, only then it became affordable for everyone. In the beginning, the display screen used to be red, and they were made form the use of light emitting diodes (LED). For viewing the time, you were needed to press down a button.

It was in the 1980s that the digital watch industry saw many new developments. One of the most popular brands, Seiko introduced a new digital watch in the market, which had a television screen built in the display. Another famous brand Casio launched a digital watch, which could translate Japanese words into English, and had a thermometer in it.

Since then, the digital watches went through revolutionary changes. There are even digital watches that enable you to store information like the telephone numbers. There are even some watches with calculators, which enable to carry out both arithmetic, and scientific functions. During the era of 1990s, the digital watches were launched that had the feature of downloading, and storing data form external sources.

The digital watches are used just for telling the time, and they do not have much appeal, as a luxury item. Many expensive brands are famous for their analogue watches, and they even have their collection range. Still the digital watches have their own function and appeal and is still very useful as it has many features that an analogue watch cannot have.
