Precession of the Equinoxes

November 5th, 2009

2012 end of the world

Precession of the Equinoxes

The Earth we live on revolves around the sun and spins on its axis.. Of course we’ve heard this and we all “know” it’s true. Yet, most of us do not understand this, rarely think about it and cannot imagine or visualize what is actually happening with our solar system. Understanding this is to understand why the phenomenon of 2012 is so important.

At different times in the Earth’s orbit, the Sun appears to “change direction” in the sky. The summer and winter solstices are when the sun appears to change direction. The equinox points, the first days of Spring and Fall, are halfway points in between these places of directional shift. These are the points when the most direct rays of the sun fall on the equator.

Seasons

A. On the winter solstice the Earth begins its Northern course. On this day we see the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth tilted back from the Sun. The Sun’s direct rays are felt in the Southern hemisphere that day. (the first day of Summer)

B. On the Spring equinox day, the celestial equator intersects with the ecliptic as the Sun moves North. The Sun’s rays fall equally everywhere on earth that day as the most direct point of contact of Sunlight to the Earth is at the equator.

C. On the summer solstice the Earth begins its Souther course. On this day we see the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth tilted away from the Sun. The Sun’s most direct rays are felt in the Northern Hemisphere that day. (first day of Summer)

D. On the Fall equinox day, the celestial equator intersects with the ecliptic as the Sun moves South. The Sun’s rays fall equally everywhere on earth that day as the most direct point of contact of Sunlight to the Earth is at the equator.
Precession of the Equinoxes

The Earth also has a very slight wobble, like a top. The wobbling effect of the Earth changes our orientation to the backdrop of stars we see. Essentially, the stars appear to move one degree every 75 years based on its effect.

The precession of the equinoxes and 2012 and the End of the Mayan calendar is discussed.

Learn Remote Viewing - A Beginners Guide

November 4th, 2009

Each and every one of us already has the ability to learn remote viewing. Because most of us were never encouraged to develop our latent psychic abilities when we were children, it is more usual to start to learn remote viewing as an adult. In order to start remote viewing, you have to tune your brainwaves to the proper frequency – it does take some practice, but every person can do it.

Although, it is not clear exactly how remote viewing works or a scientific why as to how it works, remote viewing is possible. It is however, categorized as a paranormal experience, much like astral travel, lucid dreaming and other controlled mind experiences. For many individuals, the idea is an odd one, although these are all occurrences or experiences that do come naturally to humankind.

Various governments have done studies into remote viewing as a part of their security apparatus; declassified documents have shown that user has been made of remote viewing, with the participants in these programs often being those who had no knowledge or experience with remote viewing beforehand.

As with most other things we put our minds to remote viewing requires practice. The more you practice it the more easily you will find that you can do it. It takes time and effort on your part before you will find it simple to do. Remember though, no special abilities are required, because anyone can learn to do remote viewing. In a short space of time, with some effort and practice, you will see results.

You will be using your own mental energy for remote viewing, so it is normal to feel tired after a remote viewing session. Remember to start small when you learn remote viewing and work your way up to more ambitious sessions so that you won’t wear yourself out.

Before you begin to learn how to remote view you will need to take the time to learn how to be able to do two other things that will greatly assist you, visualization and meditation are extremely useful. Remote viewing is essentially an out of body experience, a paranormal or psychic experience, and being able to meditate and visualize will help you to be more receptive to it. Learning to do these will help you to relax and help you to learn and perfect your ability to remote view.

To learn remote viewing well, you have to devote time for regular practice. Psychic skills take practice, just like any other kinds of skills. You’ll have to dedicate time and effort, but the end result will be worthwhile.

In order to start remote viewing, it is necessary to clear your mind of other thoughts and start focusing intensely on a far-off person, place or thing.

As you begin to learn remote viewing, you may find that the images which come to you are out of focus or blurred. This will improve over time as you gain more experience in remote viewing. Try to make a point of noticing everything you can about whatever you see.

The longer you practice your remote viewing, the better the images you’ll see in your mind and the more you will be able to understand of them. Keep a remote viewing journal so that you can write down the things that you see in your sessions. This will also help you to figure out which techniques are the best at preparing you for remote viewing.

When you learn remote viewing you can travel anywhere you want to, you can explore the galaxies, a different time period, whether it is in the future or sometime in the past. You can link into the universal mind when you are practicing remote viewing if you choose to do so.

Be sure to pay close attention to any shapes, colors, textures and patterns that you can see while you learn remote viewing. You may even wish to keep a pad and pencil close by just in case you want to make a few sketches of the images that you view in your sessions.

There are various resources available to help you to learn remote viewing. Online or offline, you can find various books to help you. Also hypnosis recordings are a great help to retrain your subconscious mind. You should also check out something called ‘binaural beat’ audios which can instantly get your brainwaves into the correct frequency for psychic powers such as remote viewing to be possible.

People have varied reasons as to why they choose a particular model of digital camera. A large number of people consider size and portability. They do not take the time to think about the performance and other functions that a camera does. The following article reviews the Nikon D40 so you know whether it’s the camera you are looking for.

In comparison with other cameras in this category or range the Nikon D40 is very compact and has good optical image resolution. The lens is interchangeable so shots are never out of focus and it has a 6.1 mega pixels sensor. Considering all the functions that are put into it; this is one of the lightest cameras. The only downside of the Nikon D40 is that it can only auto focus with the AF-I and the AF-S lens and manually with the others. This restricts you on the number of lens thatbcan be used with it.

The D40 allows for in-camera editing, delayed shatter and programmable auto ISO. For the moments when you cannot get near the things that you want to take, for example as in sporting events you have the option of buying the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. The idea is to extend its zooming range.

Most images that are taken when the lens is totally zoomed out and in conditions of low light are sometimes blurred. The kind of technology that the D40 has makes images much more clearer. This is a good personal camera as it is small and allows you to take some of the best pictures. Operation is easy because of the simple way the function buttons have been laid out.

Beautiful Bathroom Mirrors

November 4th, 2009

Most people are of the idea that decorative mirrors are unnecessary and cost a lot of money. My response to that is a plain mirror belongs in a plain house. If you’ve put in some extra money and work in getting your place to look nice then a decorative mirror would be the touch up the place needs.

Plain mirrors break more easily because they are made of a lower quality glass. So a decorative mirror is about more than just beauty, there is an element of strength and durability to think about.

A decorative mirror can be put in any place in your house. There is just no limit to the number of things that you can do with a mirror. Most importantly it brightens what would otherwise have been a boring environment. The bigger the better, it is amazing just how much beauty a large full length mirror brings to place. This is one of the many options that I’m sure you will like.

It doesn’t matter where you are considering putting the mirror. They are not only restricted as being for the home . If you have a business that you are running you could consider having one, it will not bring customers to your place but will help you keep the ones you have. People appreciate doing business in a nice atmosphere and a decorative mirror usually sticks in a person’s mind. You will be able to find decorative mirrors that are suitable for any environment at one of these: modern mirror best place to buy mirrors sharper image shower mirror

You could even have one fitted in your office. There is no real monetary reward that you get but its all about creating an atmosphere. Even within your home you can put the mirror anywhere it doesn’t have to be in the living room only. You might have one in the passage ways, in the bathroom, in your bedroom or in most of your rooms. This is just one of those things that you need to try out.

Prevention Over Cure?

November 3rd, 2009

Personal Dental Care

There more I hear from people interested in the hydro floss, the more impressed I am. I have my own experience with this device as well and I’m very happy with what it can do in regards to my dental health.

Many dentists are also recommending the hydro floss. This is because of the history of this device. Studies have documented it’s effectiveness. The second study was designed to disprove the first, however, it showed the hydro floss to be even more effective than the first study.

A personal dental irrigator may be very helpful to you. You would be surprised just how much comes out of your mouth even after you have brushed and flossed.

Cost is not a factor because if you are able to buy one of these devices for less than the cost of a single office visit, isn’t it worth it? That seems to be especially true if it can save you from expensive dental treatments. A scaling and root planing treatment might cost you up to $1600

Some people have to replace their teeth. I met a gentleman who spent $26,000 to have his teeth fixed / replaced. That makes the cost of a $100 home dental instrument sound miniscule doesn’t it?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we shifted our focus a bit from treatment to prevention. Imagine the health care dollars that we could save. Imagine the personal pain and suffering that would no longer be necessary.

We have always known this to be true. Remember the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"? This quote is as true today as when it was originally coined. We have moved to far away from prevention, let’s get back to it.

Unfortunately, prevention and what it means is something that each of us needs to really understand personally. You can not leave prevention in the hands of someone else and expect the kind of results that you are deserving of as a human being.

Increasing one’s house value by remaking the look of the bathrooms

November 3rd, 2009

Housing is losing its value nowadays that is why people are finding ways to retain those values.One way people can do this is by improving their houses.There are a lot of improvements you can do like adding new rooms.Or you can improve the look of a certain room.One room you can do this is the bathroom of your house. A nicely remodeled bathroom can improve the value of your home.

That would be one of the rooms that can do this.  The other room is the kitchen.  In my San Diego kitchen remodeling business the kitchen and the bathroom are the two most popular rooms to improve.  And it makes sense because people love to have those two rooms nice.But what are the things you can do to make sure it will look nice.

Well, one thing you can do is to install new cabinets.Cabinets have this ability of making something like a room look great.While old cabinets will make a room also look old and a dirty one.And when we are dealing about bathrooms, definitely, we don’t want it dirty.  In my San Diego bathroom remodeling company the cabinets is one of the first things we focus on.

The next thing you need to improve is the countertops.Installing granite to your bathroom will make it look clean.Of course, you would want a clean look for a bathroom.  The countertop upgrade is another highly requested improvement in my Solana Beach bathroom remodeling company.

If you do those two upgrades then you would have a great looking bathroom.New cabinets will make it look classy and elegant.And a granite countertop will also give it an expensive looking feel.For a room like the bathroom those two feelings are what you should feel and want to feel.
