Learn to Harness the Power of the Subconscious Mind

Posted in Health & Fitness on February 8th, 2010 by Jean D Kerr – Be the first to comment

The mind is the most powerful force in the universe and you should not underestimate the power of your own subconscious mind. Remember that no matter what a person says or does all action originates in the mind. In some instances, the actions of the mind are manifested on a conscious level.

Many of us move through our day on auto-pilot. We complete tasks by rote without even thinking about why we’re doing those things. Those actions are sub-conscious actions. A basic example of this is wondering what’s on TV. You think about it and then reach for the remote. This is a conscious action. But have you ever just switched channels without even thinking about it? This is a sub-conscious reaction.

Your subconscious mind creates reactions within you that make you do the things you do. When you consciously take action to complete a task or do something you want to get done, that thought process originated within your subconscious mind. Imagine what you could achieve if you had the power to direct your subconscious mind to generate conscious actions within yourself that helped you fulfill all the things you dreamed.

Through the proper harnessing of the power of the subconscious mind, an individual can truly live out his or her true potential. Far too often we are told about the ‘evils and dangers’ that lurk in the subconscious. While there is certain value in understanding the dark side of human psychology, only looking at the negative comes with many unfortunate consequences.

That is why it is helpful to also look at the positive aspects of the human mind and how we can approach the subconscious as a means of self-improvement. Now, some may read this and think it refers to an overly complex process that is difficult to attain. In reality, it is the opposite that is true. The guiding of the subconscious mind is no where as difficult as some assume. Through a series of simple processes, it is possible to use the power of the subconscious mind so that it helps one harness unlimited potential. So, let us take a brief look at some of the ways this is achieved.

The simplest as best known way of communicating with the subconscious mind is by using affirmations. This is basically a constant repetition of positive words.

This is why it becomes important to train your mind to always look for the positive aspects of everything you do. By learning to utilize the power of affirmations to help reinforce your own subconscious power, you’re able to unlock large amounts of potential you never knew you had.

One way this can be achieved is through constantly reminding oneself about how many benefits can be derived from performing the task. You could also look in the mirror and affirm that you are the absolute best person for the job. In fact, you are so good at the job the end result will be a complete work of art!

You’re also able to change your habits through use of affirmations. You might want to stop smoking or learn to stop overeating or even feel more motivated about exercising more regularly. These affirmations confirm the things you want to your subconscious, which then creates the impulses that remind your conscious mind of the things you should be doing.

There are alternative ways to harness the power of your subconscious mind. Post hypnotic suggestion is perhaps the most common, usually conducted by a qualified hypnotherapist, although self-hypnosis through meditation or recorded audio presentations have positive benefits as well.

There is also a relatively new process known as brainwave synchronization or binaural beats, which involves listening to special sound frequencies with headphones. The frequencies are very slightly different in each ear which results in the synchronisation of the two hemispheres of the brain. This puts you almost instantly into a deep meditative state which allows your ‘conscious self’ to communicate with your subconscious mind.

Complete mastery of your subconscious mind’s power takes years of training, as shown by highly trained Buddhist monks. They are able to display amazing abilities through mastering and controlling their subconscious power so that it manifests through their conscious minds. Things like levitation or breaking solid objects without pain or injury.

Understanding how you can create the life you dreamed of or the relationship you desire or even that ideal job you always wanted has been made a little easier through films and books like The Secret’. Often called the Law of Attraction, this theory shows how learning to control the power within your own mind can manifest those things you want most.

Amazing as this seems, recent advances in quantum physics are showing more and more what the ancient religions have been saying for thousands of years; that this reality we live in is in fact merely a product of our mind. In fact all of the so called ’supernatural’, ‘psychic’ or ‘esp’ powers have been explained in scientific terms using quantum physics.

The sheer power of your subconscious mind is far greater than most of us realize or understand. You can change your beliefs and your behaviors, but you can also begin to re-shape your entire life and unleash your full potential once you learn to harness the power within yourself.

Buyer Beware: Green Energy

Buyer Beware – Using Power Factor Correction and Transient Voltage Surge Suppression to Reduce Energy Costs.

Today’s energy conscious climate has motivated many to do what they can to become more efficient and conserve energy and money. Unfortunately this same climate has prompted others to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers’ wishes to save energy and reduce expenses.

Companies that tout power factor improvement (kVAR correction) and transient voltage suppression are a good example of this bad trend. Lately we are seeing more and more of these companies cropping up and feel it is time to set the record straight.

First, transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) plays a valuable role in improving power quality to protect sensitive equipment inside a facility. However, TVSS does not save energy. TVSS’s are only active a tiny fraction of a second to protect against voltage surges which only last for less than a millisecond. To actually reduce energy consumption the TVSS would need to actually cut power consumption for an extended period of time which is not what they are designed to do. Again, TVSS is important to protect sensitive electrical equipment but buyers should avoid vendors promising, or even guaranteeing, that they will reduce energy consumption.

Now what about vendors who claim that improving power factor will save 15% or 20% or 30% of energy consumption and corresponding cost? This one is a little trickier.

For residential applications, power factor does nothing to save energy because the typical home already has an average power factor of about 0.97 which is almost the perfect power factor of 1 or unity. In addition, the device (called a capacitor) is placed at the main circuit breaker. According to IEEE 5.5.3.3 capacitors must be situated at or near the respective inductive loads to reduce power system losses by reducing heat and distribution losses known as I2R losses.

So what about commercial and industrial facilities using power factor correction to reduce energy costs? It is perfectly appropriate for a company that is incurring penalties or a kVA billing structure from the utility company to improve the facility’s overall power factor by employing a capacitor bank at the main service entrance or individual capacitors at or near the respective motor loads. Doing so will eliminate the power factor penalties and/or reduce the kVA demand charges on the utility bill which can save significant money and provide a significant ROI on the investment.

But what about power factor correction reducing kWh consumption? IEEE also tells us that I2R losses only account for 2 to 5% of the total load in a facility. Simple math tells us that it would be against the laws of physics to get the 15% to 30% energy reduction claimed by some vendors. Think about it. Even if your facility had 5% distribution losses and you could correct 100% of the problem via power factor correction at every load (which can’t be done) you would still only save 5% at the most. No where near the claims of some capacitor vendors and manufacturers.

All that said, power factor correction when done properly will eliminate utility penalties and kVA demand charges, improve facility power quality, increase electrical system capacity, and save a little energy when applied to the appropriate motor loads.

So make an investment in transient voltage surge suppression and power factor correction when appropriate and necessary. But caveat emptor!

Don’t Lose Your EPAct 2005 Tax Deductions

Posted in Technology on February 7th, 2010 by Robert Holdsworth – Be the first to comment

Many businesses have implemented energy efficiency measures in their facilities over the past several years to help decrease operating expenses and aid the local and global environment. What a lot of these companies do not know is that sizeable federal tax deductions are available to them and also that time may be running out.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) provides generous, immediate tax deductions to businesses for making energy efficiency improvements to their buildings. The federal tax incentives center mainly on efficiency improvements to lighting, HVAC and building envelopes and can be as large as $1.80 per square foot.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extended Section 179D and EPAct 2005 so the act will not expire until December 31, 2013. However, that does not mean that time may not be running out for some companies.

For businesses that implemented energy efficiency projects in 2006 it is probable they filed their tax returns before April 15, 2007. If they were unaware of the deductions at that time, they are now at risk of losing those tax deductions forever since the IRS only allows a three year period to amend tax returns.

That means if you have not yet amended your 2006 tax return you have only a few months left to do so!

As an electrical contractor working with commercial and industrial customers you certainly have been thinking about ways to increase your sales and likely how to better utilize your current book of business to that end. You have also most likely been approached by your current customers asking what they can do to reduce their energy costs.

Have you thought about a strategic partnership with an experienced engineering firm that specializes solely in turnkey, energy cost reduction projects on a national level? One that can bring whole facility energy solutions to the table for you and your customers? A company that can provide a fast payback and increase cash flow for your customer?

Bringing in such a company will grow your business as you will be the one who is sub-contracted by the engineering firm to provide the installation services under their management and direction. You can use this approach over and over again with all of your customers and doing so will not only increase your revenues exponentially, it will also transform your customers’ impression of you from simply another vendor to that of a valued consultant.

How Expensive Is Learning The Guitar?

Posted in Entertainment on February 7th, 2010 by Hussey James – Be the first to comment

Guitar is a musical instrument that belongs to the chordophone family. In a standard guitar, you can find six strings. But, four to eighteen string guitars are also available in the market. The selection of the guitar is up to your interest and budget. There are primarily two types of guitars: the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar.

In acoustic guitar, the tone is produced by the vibration of the strings. This tone is then further amplified by the hollow body that act as a resonance chamber. Whereas, in case of electric guitar, the vibrations are amplified by an electronic amplifier attached to it. Both the guitar types are recognized as the primary instrument in the jazz, country, mariachi, rock and many forms of the pop music. It can also be a solo instrument.

People having a creative and musical bone are the ones who get attracted towards this instrument. There are principally two ways to learn guitar. One is learning it through a musical institute and other is by taking online guitar lessons. Both ways are not expensive. What you just need is a guitar and the guitarist. Additionally, you need a guitar pick and a chair without arms.

There are many guitar lessons for the beginners. A beginner should start from lesson one. Being a beginner, you should spend at least one week in learning the exercise and songs before moving on. In the first lesson, you will be taught to hold the guitar and the pick. Then your tutor will familiarise you with the parts of a guitar, scale, few chords and some songs.

The second lesson focuses on the exercises to strengthen the fingers in the fretting hand. Once you have learned to control your fingers, the tutor will tell you about some new chords, in order to play more tunes. In the second step, you will be familiarised with the string names.

The third lesson starts with the introduction to the basics of the strumming of the guitar. In this step, you would be introduced with the remaining chords and the blues scale. It is also called as the moving scale. This scale teaches you to play the scale anywhere on the neck. In the fourth lesson, you will be introduced with the power chord. Here, you have to revise the previous lessons, including the strumming lessons.

Next you are introduced to the “barre chord”. Along with this chord, you will be taught about the leads and some more songs. The next lesson mostly includes revision and practice. Here, you are not taught new things, except a few of the chromatic scale patterns.

In the next step, you will be introduced with the new techniques. Previously, you have used pick for playing guitar. Now, you will be taught to use your picking fingers, instead of a pick. With each step, you move towards more complexity. This step teaches you to slide and bend the chords. In the next test, you have to pass through the quiz. The quiz includes the composition of more songs. Thus, if you have interest in music, the online guitar lessons and the musical institutes can help you to become a professional guitarist, without much expenditure.

You can view wide range of guitars to buy PRS Guitars at affordable prices.

Hemorrhoids Causes

Posted in Health & Fitness on February 7th, 2010 by David Norman – Be the first to comment

Hemorrhoids pain is from a swelling or inflammation of the blood vessels in and around the anus. The pain from hemorrhoids can be mild and intermittent, or almost excruciating and constant, or anywhere in between. There are a number of ways to alleviate the pain, some taking care of the pain only, and others that try to fix the problem.

Natural treatments of an internal hemorrhoid include warm soaks, stool softeners, increased fiber intake and over the counter medicines. For the itching and burning symptoms, warm soaks can help in soothing and decreasing the inflammation. You’ll want to do the soaks at least four or five times a day in plain bath water to achieve the full soothing affect.

The first step to curing hemorrhoids is first easing the symptoms. Keeping the area clean and maintaining a healthy diet can help calm the painful hemorrhoids. Most additional discomfort comes from constipation, a good diet of fiber, fruits and veggies can lessen the pressure. In addition to cleaning the area, warm sitz baths and heating pads have been known to also relieve the swelling and itching.

Bleeding Internal hemorrhoids occure mostly in the population in the age groups between 45 and 65.
If you are required to sit for long stretches of time, stand for long stretches of time. This can hasten the onset of bleeding internal hemorrhoids. Women who are pregnant sometimes develop these hemorrhoids.

Some solutions to this problem are to not strain while using the toilet. As hard as this may seem, straining can cause more serious problems like tearing of the soft tissue in the anal area. It would be best to just relax and let your body excrete natually in the care and treatment of hemorrhoid.

One of the best options for a hemorrhoid home remedy is Calmovil. Calmovil is a natural dietary supplement that helps the blood vessels and damaged membranes that make up a hemorrhoid heal, completely curing the hemorrhoid. This eliminates the pain and irritation of having hemorrhoids all together, and is the best hemorrhoid home remedy. Calmovil contains only natural ingredients and is a gentle and safe way to cure hemorrhoids.
