After fifty years of research by Western medicine, it is time to recommend meditating twice-daily for 20-minutes each - because it aids your longevity, healing and stress-busting.

The Hindus in India, Buddhists is Asia, and millions of Americans do a deep relaxation exercise that helps prevent many diseases from getting a foothold in their minds and bodies.

Meditation is used to accelerate healing, enhance health, and improve the function of our life processes. Research in August, 2006 - indicates that those who regularly meditate suffer
less common colds.

Han Selye

The father of understanding stress and the fight-or-flight syndrome was Dr. Hans Selye, a Canadian endocrinologist. He lived 1907-1982, and experimented at the University of Montreal, where he published 32 books on stress.

Today the AMA does not contradict his theory that Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke are somehow introduced by chronic-stress. Meditation is on the verge of being accepted as an adjunct to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

How To Do It

Let us not get bogged down in the philosophy of meditation, but see it as the integration of our left and right brains toward creating a firewall against disease, and reducing or eliminating chronic-stress.

For detail medical data, Google Dr. Herbert Benson, Harvard Medical School. He offers a laundry list of mental and physical benefits from meditating.

Our personal experience over five-years is extraordinary, but we suggest you do your own research. It is not invasive, requires about 40 minutes daily, and offers everything to gain, and nothing to lose.

Start

One: sit with your eyes closed, feet flat, and hands on the top of your knees.

Two: prepare to repetitiously chant some simple words – a Mantra is Sanskrit, for Thought.

Three: focus upward toward your third-eye, the Pineal-Gland; it is situated between both-eyes in-line with your eyebrows.

Four: use your fingertips to rotate back-and-forth across both thumbs throughout each twenty-minutes of meditating.

The Mysterious Sounds

Indians claim up to 3,500 years of experience with the use of sound as a vibrational frequency to excite the healing processes and activate mind and body - for improved life and enhanced health.

We recommend two separate mantras to quiet your stream-of-consciousness and reduce chronic stress.

a) Sat Nam – remember it as Viet-Nam, but it is pronounced and chanted - But-Mom. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and gently release the air as you chant in a loop, B-U-T - M-O-M, B-U-T - M-O-M, etc., for a total of a two-dozen times. Drag-out-the sounds of the four phrase mantra.

b) SA-TA-NA-MA is the second looped chant. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and slowly exhale as you repetitiously chant SATANAMA twenty-four times.

c) Simultaneously focus on your third-eye, while rotating you fingertips across your thumbs. The sequence is inhale, chant, third-eye, and fingertips.

Tell Me More

Here is what advocates of Kundalini Yoga suggest:

These two chants link us to two different vibrations of intelligence.

Sat Nam pierces the universal veil, and permits us to reach Infinite-Intelligence and Cosmic-Consciousness.

The SA-TA-NA-MA meditation is to clean out the closets of our non-conscious mind. Do this daily to transform how our mind and body experience life. Remember – it is our right-brain (non-consciousness) – that produces choice and life decisions.

Change

We expect positive change in the future, and consider change a way to feel happier, and more peaceful. Simultaneously, we fear a change in our comfort-zone and the status-quo. Simply – it is a contrast between the known and unknown.

It is normal to want to be healthier, experience great relationships, and when sick, to be healed. Who does not want to be richer, get promoted and discover great meaning in our activities and behaviors?

We want to evict bad habits like smoking, overeating, anger and depression; and reprogram ourselves with self-esteem, more happiness and pleasure in our lives.

It is common knowledge even among twelve-year-olds that change begins with ourselves; others and our environment will not alter their systems and beliefs to suit us.

Is it a fact that when we change our inner-reality, our world becomes different?

Change your state-of-mind, beliefs and mood, and you control your life?

Think about this: the essence of all things is energy, electro-magnetic vibrations, but operating at different frequencies. Today, physics offers String Theory, 100 year old successor to Quantum Mechanics, to explain the universe.

Is it possible to alter our own vibrational-frequency to match what we want to attract? The answer may be in meditation through chanting because it raises our vibrations.

Endwords

Ignore these two meditations at your peril. Learn and use them and discover the enormity of your personal and potential gifts-and-talents.

We advocate chanting for health, healing and joy - for its own sake. In terms of speed reading – chanting (meditating), removes resistance to learning.

Do you rationalize, become resigned to the status-quo, become aggressively opposed, and retreat (flight), from self-improvement? It is fear of newness.

See ya,

If you are pregnant and past you due date, you are undoubtedly feeling the anxiety with waiting for labor to start. At this point, you may be searching for ways to start labor naturally. Many obstetricians today look towards medical labor induction when an expectant mother is past her due date. This route can throw your birthing options out the window, such as a homebirth. Unfortunately, you will be hard pressed to find a doctor that will not recommend chemically inducing your labor once you are past your due date; regardless of the risks or harsh side effects. Many mothers that have experienced the side effects from using medication to start labor shiver at the thought of going through it again.

You might have already come across various methods on how to start labor naturally. You might even have tried sex, EPO, walking, spine adjustments by chiropractic, bouncing on the birth ball, and spicy foods, in order to start your labor naturally.

Acupuncture in another commonly suggested way to naturally start labor. Some people are skeptical about acupuncture for labor. It has been shown in several studies, however, that by stimulating specific acupuncture points, the body is gently urged to begin the process of childbirth. The only complication that may occur is some slight bruising at the puncture points. Some people might be afraid of possible pain caused by needles that are used to stimulate the acupuncture points for inducing labor naturally. The acupuncture needles used are solid, yet extremely thin. That’s why there is very little or no pain during the treatment.

Most acupuncture specialists will not make house calls to perform the treatment; this could be a problem for an expectant mother who is past her due date.

Acupressure is another method shown to be very effective in bringing on labor. A simple and comfortable way to naturally encourage labor is acupressure. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture because the same points of the body are used, but without the needles. However, acupressure utilizes thumbs and fingertips rather than needles. In order to stimulate the acupressure points to start labor, the points are first located according to some simple measurements. Using just your fingertips or thumbs, pressure is given to points on the body. The pressure could be applied as a small rotating movement, static pressure, or in a pressure-release manner.

Sometimes, only one acupressure treatment is enough to “kick-start” labor but usually the treatment is repeated in a few hours time. Acupressure for labor is beneficial not only in inducing labor naturally, but is also extremely helpful in relieving labor contraction pains, back pains, and nausea, that are often associated with pregnancy.

What is wonderful in acupressure for labor is that it could be used at home. Because acupressure is simple, a person with no previous experience could use this method with great success, just by following basic instructions. Hence, more and more pregnant women and their partners are using acupressure for conditions related to pregnancy, including the induction of labor. Midwives and natural health care doctors agree that acupressure is a safe and effective way to naturally start labor.

In fact, it would not take you very long to be able to do it yourself and then you can start drawing your own house plans for your dream home. Here are just a few things you need to know about learning how to draw floor plans.

The Home Design Software

The lawn care business can seem extremely easy to enter due to the low start up costs involved A basic lawn mowing business can be started for just a few thousand dollars if you exclude the cost of buying a vehicle. This article looks at funding and start up costs for a small lawn care business.

For some lawn care business operators, start up costs end up being more than expected, debt can spiral out of control and income can be surprisingly slow in the beginning.

As it will take you some time to build up a client list and get some money coming in it is a good idea to buy your equipment with cash instead of buying on credit and going into debt.

You don’t necessarily have to start off with the best gear. Just start your business off with what you feel are the essentials and then as you increase your income over time you can slowly invest in additional equipment.

To get started with a lawn care business you really only need a lawn mower, mulching bag, an edger and your vehicle. A pick-up or small truck is preferred but you can get away with a station wagon or SUV.

Buying good quality, second hand equipment is one way to minimize start up costs and lower your risk.

Leasing equipment is also preferable to going into debt in the early stages of your business. Try to look for a short-term lease so that if you want to quit the business after a trial period then you won’t be locked into a long-term contract. If you quit your business, returning leased equipment is preferable to being stuck with a lot of debt and expensive lawn care equipment that is hard to sell.

If you can’t get a small interest free loan from family and you really do need to seek funding then make sure that you have a solid business plan in place that you can take to potential lenders to show them that you are serious.

However, before you look at small business financing options for your lawn care start up investigate the possibility of getting a small business grant from your state or government. The lengthy application processes involved and the small chance of success turn most people off this idea but it is worth looking into if you are eligible.

All in all though, we are really not talking about a lot of money that is involved with getting a lawn care business up and running. Entrepreneurs who are keen to get started in the lawn care business should look upon the raising of their own start up capital as being their first challenge.
